Panasonic KX-TC1881 uses digital spread-spectrum technology to provide two important benefits for your home or home office: enhanced range and security. This phone transmits over the entire 900 MHz bandwidth, constantly changing frequencies to boost calling range, keep your conversations clear, and make them difficult for outside parties to monitor.
By providing easy access to the caller-ID memory and phone directory/dialer, you can control handset volume, ringer loudness, and more. The handset's three-line backlit, multifunction LCD display shows all of your caller-ID data without scrolling. The backlit LCD screen is also easy to read in the dark. The LCD can display 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.
Thanks to the KX-TC1881's caller-ID pager call, you can program your phone to notify your pager when you've received an incoming call, and to forward the caller-ID data to your pager's display. If you subscribe to a voice-mail service from your phone company, a light on the phone will illuminate when you have new messages in your mailbox.
Connect an additional phone line for added convenience in a busy home or office, and the line-status indicator will light up to show you which lines are in use. The KX-TC1881 also lets you join two other calls for a three-party conference call. The speakerphone function lets multiple parties take part in the same conversation, while it gives single users the benefit of hands-free operation. Digital circuitry helps reduce echo and dropout effects (common to conventional speakerphones) for more natural-sounding conversations.
Two-way paging lets you page the handset from the base unit (and vice-versa), while automatic intercom lets you communicate between the two. This is especially useful when you want to locate the handset, or talk to someone in a separate room. Connect an optional headset and fasten the handset to your belt for hands-free conversations. For even more convenience, the KX-TC1881 includes a lighted handset keypad for easy dialing in darkened rooms, and keypads are available on both the base and the handset for convenience.

Short life span!.......2003-02-21
First, the battery life was adequate for nearly the first year. I would get about 4 hours of talk time, which was okay. However, the standby time was not very good... If I left home for a weekend, the phone would inevitably be dead upon my return. However, after 1 year, the battery life has shortened significantly to about 2 hours of talk time. The indicator is also of very little use because it will go from 2 out of 3 bars to dead.
Secondly, the main reason I am replacing this phone (I could always buy a replacement battery) is that the phone randomly cuts out all the time. At first I thought it might be interference from my home wireless network, but I noticed this was also a common complaint from other users. Frankly, the frequent dead silences are too great of an annoyance for me and for the people I am talking to.
If this phone is still available for purchase, I would recommend against it.
Good sound with bad usability.......2002-12-28
- You can't dial the phone from the base if you are using the handset - defeats the whole purpose of multiple keypads.
- The caller ID won't stop blinking without picking up the handset and going through multiple menu items.
- The phone won't let you step through the names in the stored directory any faster than one per second.
- Speed dial only works on the base, not the handset.
- Speed dial and the stored directory don't work together.
- Transferring calls between the speaker phone and the handset is a tedious, noisy operation.
- No mute button.
- Too much loud beeping that you can't turn off.
In short - if you aren't a phone power user, don't pay for the extra features on this phone. If you are a power user, find a phone designed by someone with common sense. I'm still looking.
handset volume a little too low.......2002-06-02
Pretty darn good, with a few exceptions.......2002-03-11
I also like to turn off my ringer at night, and instead of having a switch on the phone (like my previous Panasonic cordless) you have to wade through several menus, while the thing beeps at you loudly for each menu item/choice. When my wife is sleeping while I try to set this... well, it's sort of against the whole *point* of turning the ringer off.
The other annoying thing I find is the "Voicemail indicator" (blinking light), while a very nice feature, often won't go off after you've deleted your mailbox of voicemail (this is phone company type voicemail service - not built-in voicemail on the phone - which it doesn't have). And now, the thing is permanently on (blinking). I can't seem to get it to go away, even after unplugging the unit. Weird.
Other than that, this phone is very nice.
Good all-round phone except for one major omission.......2001-06-08
