Panasonic KX-TG2584S 2.4 GHz Corded/Cordless Phone System

Product Description

From the Manufacturer
The KX-TG2584S gives you two phones in one. This 2.4 GHz GigaRange Extreme SST cordless phone with digital answering system includes a base unit as well as both corded and cordless handsets. The cordless handset comes with a wall-mountable charging cradle that can be used in a room without a phone jack. Up to 50 names and telephone numbers can be stored alphabetically and quickly accessed for dialing using the phone's navigation key.

If you subscribe to call waiting and caller ID, the phone's LCD displays the name and number of incoming callers, even if you're on another call. Up to 50 names and numbers can be stored in memory for easy retrieval and direct callback. A call counter tracks the duration of your conversations. The digital answering machine offers 15 minutes of storage time.

Ordinary dual 2.4 GHz cordless phones transmit and receive signals at the same time within the 2.4 GHz band, causing noticeable interference when the signals cancel each other. To avoid this, these phones usually transmit and receive under restricted bandwidth, a condition that reduces their power and range. Panasonic's Digital Spread Spectrum (DSS) Time Division Duplex (TDD) technology enables this phone to use its full bandwidth for optimum power and range.

Panasonic's diversity antenna incorporates two omnidirectional antennas, which increase signal sensitivity and enhance sound quality while improving reception. Advanced error correction software helps maintain signal integrity at greater distances. The phone's digital duplex speakerphone circuitry helps reduce echo and dropout effects, which are common in conventional speakerphones.

Dual keypads allow you to make calls from the base, the handset, or a combination of both, even at the same time. A two-way intercom lets you communicate between the base unit and the handset.

Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars Handset set good until.......2005-10-22

I feel lucky after reading the other reviews regarding the life of this headset's battery. When I purchased my third battery thru Amazon, it lasted about 50 weeks under light use. Not bad in comparison to other reports on the same headset... At a 75 yard distance; my conversations were as clear as a bell. During its last 3 months of life, the battery could barely hold a charge for 8 minutes and the charge indicator showed full charge just before cutoff.

The main set is a very good unit. Voice calls and messages are routinely very clear. The display date and time, constantly blinks; making for an annoying and difficult to read experience.

The KX-TG2548S phone is a sign of the times. Design something for two years life and/or make products with proprietary replacement parts. Companies think they can control customer loyalty rather than support good will. Panasonic is selling their name off, at a high premium and to their customers dismay. Doesn't have to be like this, you know. Move Panasonic down your list of acceptable vendors and give another company a chance for your loyalty. You young folks don't realize how expensive cutting engineering and quality control can be, and how the 'latest and greatest' does not mean better.

1 out of 5 stars Titanic Failure.......2005-01-02

After past success with Panasonic cordless phones I felt that it was worthwhile to spend the extra money and purchase this 'deluxe' unit. One thing that put me over the top was the $50 mail-in rebate at the time. In the end I paid about $100 for this phone.

Before I go over the problems I will give credit where credit is due.
-The volume on the base unit is good.
-The speaker phone is clear and as loud as you want it.
-The cordless unit has a plug in for a headset.
-There are other base unit features that somebody might have a use for. I am not sure who.

OK, now the bad parts.
-The first battery for cordless unit was toast after 10 months of relatively light use.
-The base unit is CORDED, so it has limited uses.
-You can't scan your calls from the cordless unit.
-The base unit does not work well when wall mounted. Hard to see, hard to use.
-Battery for cordless unit is impossible to find and expensive.
-Volume on cordless unit is too low when you use a headset.
-Second battery has lasted only three months after regular use.

Right now I have two options: (1) Buy another battery for this unit, (2) buy another cordless phone. Most of the negatives that I have stated above are somewhat easy to work around. I just don't expect to have to work around issues on a $170 phone. The real show-stopper is the battery (cost, availability, and life). I purchased a $35 Motorola for my mother about 18 months ago and the battery just ran out, her penchant for yacking notwithstanding. I guess that I am going to cut my losses and get a decent phone.

If you are looking for a deluxe phone, unless you can get this one for about $30, I would avoid it like the plague.

3 out of 5 stars Average phone, a bit outdated for our time..........2004-10-11

It is not convinient to work with direct dialing through cordless set. There are only 3 direct dialing numbers available - should be at least 10 for our days. THE WORST THING of this phone battery in the cordless set are dying within 5 minutes. In the begining Battery was holing the charge for abt half an our. After about 6 month of using I can not make a call - battery dies as soon as I am starting to dial the number.

1 out of 5 stars Worthless when the battery is always dead!.......2004-08-20

This is a very nice base unit coupled with a worthless handset. I have returned the whole system once to Panasonic and replaced the battery three times in one year. It has always been charged according to directions. Apparently, this model is the victim of short sighted engineering. Stay away unless you have a garage full of expensive batteries for the handset!

1 out of 5 stars !!!CAUTION!!!.......2004-06-07

While Panasonic is consistently the most highly recommended cordless phone by electronics salespeople, this is my THIRD failure with Panasonic. While I have few problems with the corded wall mount unit, the handset has not held a charge for more than a 10 minute conversation after approximately 3 months old (after the store warrantee expired) and I am unable to say more than 'hello' on it now, before it dies out now. I have returned the phone once within the store warrantee and I have replaced the batteries twice in 2 years, which are hard to find and costly. Panasonic customer service has been neither helpful nor sympathetic to my problem. I am now researching a variety of less 'recommended' cordless phones...
