Terrible, awful phone system.......2006-11-15
The strongest phone.......2006-08-23
Terrible return policy and awful phone.......2006-05-18
I am very very disappointed in Amazon and in this phone.
Awesome clarity and range, but some interface issues........2006-05-17
1) Panasonic's audio clarity is great, both with and without the voice enhancer circuitry (an equalization curve that's meant to improve voice intelligebility). The fact that Panasonic thinks to include the voice enhancer shows how in-touch they are with what a phone is really about. The Unidens are hooded and dark, sonicially, by comparison, with noticeably inferior intelligibility.
2) Software and screen leave something to be desired. Caller ID and Phonebook operations just seem to require more button pushes and are more awkward to remember than with the Unidens. The screen legibility is pretty poor compared to the Unidens too. They all have low grade backlit LCDs, but the Unidens use a thicker font. The Panasonics have a spindly primitive font that gets lost in the reflections. Unidens answer when you lift them off the cradle. Panasonics require you to press the button. Both have similar phonebook and callerID dialing functions - but the Panasonics hide the phone number from you in caller ID until you hit a "Details" softkey. Foolish.
3) Range and battery. I can't compare here because these Panasonics are my first 5.8 Ghz. They have excellent range. I have successfully used them in my yard over 75 feet from the base. They reach every corner of my house without static. The Unidens can't touch that - but they are 2.4ghz. Both phones have long-life NiMH batteries, but the Unidens use over-the-counter AA format ones I can cheaply replace. Panasonic uses the more commonly found heatshrinked soldered battery pack you must inevitably order mail-order for $20-$30 when you must replace them.
Styling and ring colors? I love the look of these Panasonics, but I don't get the ring color concept. It just seems like a silly gimmic to me.
These 5.8Ghz Panasonics have been 100% static free. I have not experienced any interference at all while using them. This is superb performance. So - my conclusion? While some of the software, caller ID, phone book issues aren't state-of-the-art with the Panasonic KX-TG5423M, the really important issues (sound quality and range) are just fantastic. I'm a happy happy camper.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS PHONE .......2006-04-08

Remanufactured Panasonic KX-TG5423M 5.8 GHz DSS Cordless Phone with Three Handsets (Metallic Grey)

Amazon.com Product Description
Do you need several phones for your house or home office but don't want to install additional jacks? The remanufactured KX-TG5423M from Panasonic offers an ideal solution, as it's packaged with three cordless handsets and two additional chargers, letting you install a home-wide phone system without dealing with crisscrossing wires and cumbersome setups. The system supports such features as a handset-to-handset intercom system, perfect for calling the family together for dinner; a page locator, which finds the misplaced handsets within a cluttered household; and three-way call conferencing.To ensure an elite-sounding connection, the system employs 5.8 GHz frequency-hopping spread spectrum technology, which operates in a less-trafficked wavelength than more common 2.4 GHz signals while still maintaining the same great security, topnotch clarity, and long range. Reception is further improved by Panasonic's Voice Enhancer circuitry, which helps clarify and improve reception by producing an easy-to-hear, natural-sounding voice, making the handsets sound crisp and intelligible even at a distance from the base. Plus, 5.8 GHz frequencies won't interfere with wireless computer networks such as 802.11b or 802.11g Wi-Fi.
Another nice feature is the caller ID/call waiting combo (subscription required). Caller ID lets you see who's calling before you answer the phone, while call waiting lets you know when another call is coming in. By combining the two, however, users will learn who's calling even when they're currently in the middle of a conversation with someone else. When you hear the beep, simply look at the handset's LCD display to identify the name and number. It's especially convenient when you're waiting for an important call but still have other calls to make.
The handset speakerphones, meanwhile, are a plus when dealing with automated phone systems. You can turn on the speakerphone, put down the handset while watching TV or typing, and then pick it back up when a voice finally responds. It's far more convenient than trudging all the way to the base unit to activate the speakerphone. There are lots of other uses as well, such as putting the whole family on the phone to talk to grandma or grandpa, or conducting a business call with several folks in the room.
Households with kids will delight in the handsets' light-up antennas. When it's time to put the kids to sleep, simply turn off the phone's ringer. When someone is calling, the base of the antenna will flash so you'll know the phone is ringing. The antenna will also light up when someone leaves a message on voicemail (subscription required). Users can select from blue, green, amber, or multicolor antenna lights, while subscribers to Light-Up ID can link the individual light colors to numbers in their preprogrammed phone books.
Additional features include a 50-call memory and speed dial directory accessible through the handsets' three-line LCD displays; three ringer patterns and four melody rings; headset jacks and belt clips for hands-free calling; a redial function that calls the last five numbers; and chain dialing. The base unit, which is wall-mountable, measures 12.4 by 8 by 5.4 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a 90-day warranty.
