Decent phone.......2007-01-10
1. 900Mhz so as not to interfere with the 2.4Ghz wireless internet (most 5.8Ghz phones actually use the 2.4Ghz spectrum for receiving).
2. Caller ID display on phone itself.
3. Speakerphone on phone itself.
4. Normal sized, rather than the tiny ones they are pushing these days.
5. Adjustable ringer volume (hi/low/off), on both phone and base.
It met all of these requirements. The range is kind of short, and the optional belt clip does not work all that well. Also if you press the hold button by accident (which I seem to do frequently) it's a pain to turn it off. Finally, the buttons wore out after about a year, so I had to buy a new one. Other than those minor hassles, this is a good phone. I would recommend getting one but the only place to find it is ebay. Search for KX-TC1713B or KX-TC1713.
Annoying battery indicator.......2002-07-26
Here's the problem. I like to have one of my cordless phones wherever I am in the house. Like other phones, I found the Panasonic could be off the hook for up to a week at a time, depending on how often it got used. It has a battery strength indicator on the handset, which you would think would be my ally in judging whether it needed charging. Three little squares means full steam ahead. I paid attention to these squares for my cue that it was time to recharge the handset. What a fool I was.
Annoying enough to go to make a call and find the handset dead, but when you're racing to CATCH a call before it goes to voice mail? Argh.
Worse, when I find the handset dead and put it on the charger, it can literally take DAYS to see any sign of progress on the recharge.
I won't be buying another Panasonic.
Not worth the money.......2002-06-10
Best Cordless Phone I've Ever Owned!.......2002-04-29
1. Sound Quality - The sound quality is equal to that of a corded telephone. I never get the "are you on a cordless phone?" comment from anyone anymore. Furthermore, sound quality does not degrade as I move about my apartment. With other phones, if I got more than 20 feet from the base, the sound quality would start to degrade. Not so with this phone!
2. Features - Again, they got it right!
a. Speaker-phone - This unit has a speaker-phone both in the base unit AND IN THE HANDSET! This means that, if I'm working at my computer, I don't have to hold the phone on my shoulder. This is fortunate since the physical design of the handset does not lend itself to holding the handset in this manner.
b. Voicemail - The phone knows when I have voicemail and has an LED and an indication on the handset digital display to tell me so. Also, it has a "voicemail" button which I program with the phone number and passcode sequence to access my voicemail. Not critical, but a nice feature.
c. Caller ID - I know that many phones come with built-in caller ID these days but I'm still thrilled with this feature. I also like the fact that you can automatically dial the displayed number or add it, with name, to the phone's caller list.
Bottom line: an excellent value for the money!
Panasonic KX-TC1713B 900 MHz Digital Cordless Phone.......2002-01-04
It allows you navigate the phone's menu structure instead of digging out the manual every time you have to do something.
Call Waiting Caller ID And Battery
The caller ID LCD screen is backlit and is located on the handset. In addition to phone numbers and names (where available and with caller ID service ordered from your phone company), it also shows the battery status, which is much more convenient than my old VTech phone that would just die without any prior warning.
With Panasonic, you can see if the battery is full, half-empty or close to being empty. The battery icon blinks when the forth stage is reached - time to recharge when the battery will be empty in a couple of minutes.
Battery here is Ni-Cad type and performs best if fully discharged before charging to its full capacity. Otherwise, due to "memory effects" the useful capacity may degrade. The charge time is also too long.
When somebody calls, you can see the phone and the name after the first ring. If you are on the phone and somebody calls, you can also see their information and decide if you should switch to the second line. Also, if people called you and you didn't pick up the phone, you can review all callers' numbers and names by pressing "Navigator" key up and/or down.
Sound Quality
The phone uses digital transmission, which is more secure and eliminates static noise. But if you get too far from the base (in my case it's about 100-200 feet), instead of static you will experience breakups in conversation. The sound quality is very good and the volume can be adjusted (3 settings).
Features
The phone has keypads on both handset and the base with base featuring intercom (I never use it). The charging is reversible - the handset can be placed on the base either face up or face down for recharging (I prefer "face up" position, because this way you can see who is calling without picking up the phone).
The display is dot-matrix and fits 2 lines - one for phone number and another one for names plus the lower portion shows instructions like "^ Next > Edit" (means "push Navigator button up for next item, or push it right to edit the current one")
Bottom Line
At $70 retail, this phone is not [inexpensive]. However, you can usually buy it on eBay for much less. And it is a very good phone and caller ID device with a cool looking LCD display.
