Panasonic KX-TG6500B 5.8 GHz DSS Expandable 2-Line Cordless Phone (Black)

Product Description

From the Manufacturer
You can put handsets all over your house-in your kid's rooms or even in the garage-without all the messy wiring or complicated setup. With Panasonic's 5.8 GHz expandable phone systems, you don't need a phone jack for each additional handset-just one for the base unit. So start expanding and forget about all your wiring worries (handset model KX-TGA650B).

Panasonic's 5.8 GHz Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum technology operates on a different wavelength with much less traffic than the 2.4 GHz technology while maintaining the great security, incredible clarity and long range. Have a wireless computer network, or thinking about getting one? 5.8 GHz technology will not interfere with wireless networks such as 802.11b or 802.11g WiFi.

This phone system is equipped with an all-digital answering system for quick, easy retrieval of crystal-clear messages. Message operation has never been easier, with up to 60 minutes of recording time, plus features like pre-recorded outgoing message, remote operation, Tollsaver, and skip-and-repeat. And don't worry about losing your messages when the power goes out-they're stored in flash memory so they're unaffected by power failure or interruptions.

Panasonic has found a way to shorten the handset antenna while still maintaining the long range that Panasonic customers have become accustomed to. But what's even cooler is that the tip of the antenna, which lights up red, will alert you to an incoming call (or a message waiting for you1). So turn off the ringer, let the kids sleep, and never miss a call.

We've all become accustomed to caller ID and its ability to let us see who's calling before we answer the phone. Then there's call waiting, a beep letting us know there's another call coming in. But until now, you wouldn't know who was beeping in unless you answered it. With Call waiting/caller ID you get the best of both worlds. Now when you get a beep, you can see who's calling before you answer. But that decision is up to you! (Requires subscription to name-and-number caller ID/call waiting and/or voice mail services offered by certain local telephone companies for a fee. Name pronunciation may vary. Name pronunciation quality is based on names most commonly used in the U.S.A.)

Having a handset speakerphone may not seem like such a big deal-until you have to call an automated phone system. By the time you press "2" and return the phone to your ear, you missed half the next option! And when they put you on hold for ten minutes, do you really need to hold the phone? Not with the handset speakerphone. Just listen along, and press a button or pick up when it's convenient. You'll think up other great uses, like letting Grandma and Grandpa listen to their new grandchild at the same time, painting your nails as you talk to your best friend, or just being able to set the phone down while you talk.

5 out of 5 stars Small biz loves it.......2007-06-29

My small, growing business loves this phone. The ability to page, and talk to each other anywhere in the building makes life easier. Clear reception throughout parking lot, and out to first intersection.

3 out of 5 stars Great until today, hopefully don't have to replace AGAIN.......2007-04-06

Overall, this phone system does what I need it to do, and I won't go over many of the general positives and negatives here. Here are my specifics:
1) No caller-ID on the base unit. My previous Panasonic 2740 had this...why did they get rid of it? (more on the 2740 later)
2) Doesn't remember your caller-ID redial settings. i.e. all my calls show the full area code, but when I want to dial, I have to press call, then edit, to get it to dial without the area code. My 2740 system remembered my edit settings (or maybe it's just the way called ID comes in now with Vonage).

So why did I upgrade from the 2740 I liked so much? Because of an annoying popping noise when both lines were in use. It was a great system for 3 years...I had 5 phones with it and it worked perfectly. Then one day, line 2 got a popping noise on the line whenever line 1 was also in use. This simply would not go away no matter what I tried (unplugging, pulling phone batteries to reset them, checking the lines, etc.) I tried another 2-line system and confirmed it was the phone itself, not the lines.

So after almost 2 more years, my new TG6502 system (same as 6500 but with an extra handset included), the same thing starts happening a couple days ago. It's fixed for now, but for how long I don't know. I pulled the batteries from every handset, unplugged the base for a couple minutes, and all seems to be good for now. Only time will tell...and my wife...when she tries to use her line to talk with people. Hopefully this is the end of my ordeal, but I absolutely long for the day when someone other than Panasonic has a decent 2-line phone system that doesn't die after a couple years. I'm not looking forward to another $300-400 system in my house.

UPDATE: Well, long story short, the Vonage adapter I was using for my 2 phone lines was the culprit. When this came up, I was also in progress of finding a new VOIP provider. Switched to SunRocket, plugged in their adapters to run two phone lines, and voila...no problem! I'm betting my old system was fine too. Fortunately found someone on Craigslist to finally take that off my hands and get it out of my closet for $100.

5 out of 5 stars Cordless phones.......2007-01-10

I was afraid I could face problems with its funcionallity in Brazil, but it's working very well.

1 out of 5 stars Poor sound quality.......2007-01-06

After purchasing this system with a total of four cordless handsets, I thought I had finally solved the problem of getting phones in all the bedrooms of my big old house. Unfortunately, I constantly get complaints from the people I am calling. "I can't hear you very well" "We must have a bad connection" and so on. I don't have time and can't afford to replace the whole system, so we are just putting up with it. NOT RECOMMENDED

5 out of 5 stars Top notch product.......2006-08-31

As usual, the Panasonic phone is a superb product:well designed, excellent feastures, solid quality, crystal clear sound and long battery life. This is the second Panasonic 2-line phone we have owned and have no complaints.

The answering machine works well on both lines and all set-up requirments were easy and clear.

All product's should be designed, manufactured and operate to this product's standard.
