Panasonic KX-TG2583S 2.4 GHz DSS Cordless Phone with Caller ID and Answering Device (Silver)

Amazon.com Product Description
A digital cordless phone with exceptional signal quality and a host of added features, Panasonic's KXTG2583 also provides a sleek design and a fully integrated answering center. Operating on the 2.4 GHz band, as opposed to the more common 900 MHz band, this phone is able to offer significantly increased clarity and handset range. Sensitivity to handset signal is increased by providing two omni directional antennas, while error-correction software helps to increase the range of the handset without significant signal loss. The phone also utilizes digital spread-spectrum technology, which enhances security by shifting frequencies multiple times every second.

The KCTG2583 includes many convenient featur. You can adjust ringer and handset volumes to your liking and also have the option of choosing tone or pulse dialing. You can expect about 4.5 hours of talk time and about 11 days of standby before recharging the handset battery. The speakerphone lets you roam at will and is fully digital, resulting in more intelligible conversations with less echo and dropout. LED screens on both the handset and base tell you the name and number of incoming calls, even if you are on the other line, while a two-way paging system can either locate that ever-elusive handset or let you talk to someone in another room. The base is easily wall mountable, and the handset is headset compatible.

The answering center is more like a personal secretary than a simple machine. The built in memory can hold 15 minutes of date/time stamped messages, while the speed dial memory stores up to 50 of your most frequently dialed numbers. If you're a subscriber to voice messaging services, you can program the phone to notify you when you have new messages in your box.

Customer Reviews:

Good Sound quality. Buttons go bad.......2005-08-27

I do like this phone when I am talking on it. Of course I am
getting a "expandable phone system" to replace this unit. I have
used this phone for several years.

Pros:
1. Good sound quality. Seems to be something Panasonic does well.
2. Good range. 2.4 GHz will interfere with wireless networks.
3. Durable outside construction.

Cons:
1. Buttons 2,5,6,8,9 require pushing very hard to work.
2. The LCD on the base unit always was unreadable but now is
failing.
3. Base unit is not very smart, must use the handset to set the
time!

Keypad problem.......2005-03-07

Had the phone for less than a year and the #1 button on the keypad now has problems accepting the finger press. I have to push down really hard and as a result will dial two 1's.

Virtually indestructible - Also waterproof and shockproof.......2005-01-29

This is a ruggedized phone, with bits of rubber bumpers and sealed electronics. Not sure why they don't mention this key feature, maybe people complained it is not waterproof enough. But you can use the headset in the shower, rinse it under water, drop it on the floor, etc. With "normal" use, it is virtually indestructible. With heavy use, expect to replace the battery about once a year.

Best cordless I have owned.......2004-03-21

I have owned this phone for more than a year and it is the best cordless I have owned. The audio quality and volume are great. The user interface is intuitive.

Piece of Junk.......2004-03-17

I bought this phone a year ago and I end up changing the battery already once. The battery was discharging so fast and recently I stopped using the handset completely. Eventhough I charge it whole night, it is not getting charged. The warranty service is also very bad. Fortunately I bought this phone using my Visa Platinum and they covered the full price. Thanks to Visa.
