Sturdy construction and rubberized trim protect the Panasonic KXTG2500 cordless phone against everyday wear and tear and accidental splashes. Plus, its twin-band transmission provides virtually interference-free conversation at an incredible range.
Setting up the phone was easy, and the battery charged completely in seven hours. The battery is rated for eight hours of talk time and will remain charged for up to 14 days on standby. A lighted keypad features a large navigator button, redial, direct dial, and channel buttons.
The navigator button's functions are not entirely intuitive. We had to refer to the owner's manual to store a number because there is no memory button. However, the manual was helpful and the steps were easy to remember once we performed them. To store a number in memory, we pressed program, entered the phone number, pressed auto, and assigned it a station number between zero and nine. A beep indicated that the phone number had been stored.
The program and auto functions are the right and left sides of the navigator button, while the top and bottom control the ringer volume. While the functions of the navigator button do not necessarily relate to each other, and could just as easily have been separate buttons, the navigator button's multifunction design does minimize clutter on the handset.
Other functions are easier to use because they do not require the navigator button. If you have one number you dial frequently, you can assign it to the direct button. The direct button takes only three steps to program and one step to dial. Redial and flash are also accessed with the touch of a button. Handset Locator is a large button conveniently located on the base.
Although we had reservations about the phone's button design, we were most impressed with the long range and sound clarity of the KXTG2500. With its dual-antenna system, one for transmitting and one for receiving, our conversations were virtually static-free. When background noise was present, we simply pressed the channel button for a clearer connection. We took the handset outside, approximately 1,000 feet from the base, before detecting any interference. It performed just as well inside and behind walls, up stairs, and near electronic equipment. This is excellent performance for any cordless phone at any price. --Emily Bakko

Amazon.com Product Description
Until September 30, 2000, when you purchase this and another qualifying HP product, you can receive a free Get Digital Creative Gift Pack. The Gift Pack includes specialty papers, coupons, software, and more. Click here for the coupon and details.The Panasonic KX-TG2500S is one of the GigaRange Extreme phones. Unique twin-band transmission, coupled with rugged design, allows you to take your conversations outdoors. Panasonic has also included a 2.5-millimeter headset jack and belt clip for hands-free operation. With an optional headset connected to this phone, you're free to engage in activities that require the use of two hands. And when you're not using your 2.4 GHz phone, its small design enables you to simply slip it into your pocket.
Panasonic 2.4 GHz GigaRange Extreme cordless phones utilize spread spectrum technology (SST) in both the 2.4 GHz and 900 MHz bands. SST brings an important benefit to the user: enhanced range. Cordless phones with SST have greater effective output power than regular cordless phones because they transmit over the entire bandwidth, constantly changing frequency. This increased power dramatically boosts range.
Since the phones use two frequency bands, the interference between signals is minimized, thereby enhancing clarity and boosting range. A unique proprietary circuitry design also helps these phones resist interference from other devices, such as microwave ovens, that share similar bands.
The KX-TG2500S also boasts a dual antenna system, 10-station speed dialing, a fast 7-hour battery-charging system, up to a 14-day standby battery life, and up to 8 hours of talk time.
Customer Reviews:
DON'T BUY IT!.......2002-12-07
I am looking for a new cordless for Christmas and it will never be a Panasonic again!
This Phone is Garbage.......2002-10-24
works OK if you need a waterproof phone .......2002-09-17
For example you make phone calls while taking a bath, or washing dishes.
You must keep this phone off the charger and only charge it when the battery runs down.
And you must periodically clean the contacts or it will not charge.
To some extent this is true for all portable phones, but this one is super sensitive and if you do not follow the above advice the phone will not hold a charge--and will not work.
I would not buy this phone unless you needed one that was waterproof--but if you did this will work OK
very bad QC.......2002-08-14
don't buy it without warranty for more then one year.
Great out of the gate but just doesn't seem to finish.......2002-07-31
1 - The apparently famous "Out of range" notification. Always amazing whether one is right next to the base or directly above it on the next floor. Especially fun when the phone would ring, you press talk and it decides it can't reach the base suddenly???
2 - What we've determined is the 10 minute static barrier. If we use the phone for a single conversation which goes above 10 minutes after not using it all day, it turns a horrid static state which is really hard to deal with. The person on the other end is all but inaudible.
3 - Thinking it might be the battery (10 minutes of consecutive or nearly consecutive talk causes a problem? might be the battery) we bought a new one for ~[$$$] which did _nothing_ to resolve the problem.
So, I'm stuck with a dud phone which I will be replacing here soon enough. Based on what I've read and my own experience, I won't be buying another panasonic even though the features themselves were quite nice.
Caveat emptor.
