Simplify your home answering system with the Panasonic KXTC1890 cordless phone. It combines everything you need, including two-line operation, digital answering system, and caller ID with call waiting, all in one high-quality, beautifully designed unit.
We found the KXTC1890 appealing because of its dual-keypad design. Most functions are accessed from either the lighted keypad on the handset or from a large intuitive keypad on the base. We were able to program basic features without reading the owner's manual. For more complex functions, the detailed manual was very helpful. A quick guide is also included.
For two-line operation, the telephone accepts either a single RJ-14 connection or two RJ-11 connections (both are standard telephone jacks). You can then set up the phone by using the program button and following the LCD display. Lighted buttons on both the handset and base let you know which line is in use. The handset and base can be used at the same time on separate lines; the call on the base line is conducted through the speakerphone. Calls can also be combined from both lines for three-way conferencing.
The KXTC1890B can save up to 10 numbers in memory. Programming the numbers is straightforward; however, the LCD and many of the program buttons are on opposite sides of the handset. We found it awkward having to flip the handset over several times to perform one function.
The LCD on the handset displays the number of calls you have received. To access calls, press the search button located just below the LCD. The LCD also displays the caller's number and name. To return a call, simply press the talk button. The KXTC1890B can store up to 50 caller-ID calls, along with the time and date each call was received and the number of times each caller called.
Voice mail for both lines is conveniently accessed through either the handset or the base. A playback button on the handset provides easy access to most voice mail functions, including new messages, repeat, skip, and on/off. The base provides erase and record buttons and also displays the number of calls received.
In our tests, the KXTC1890 provided excellent sound clarity and long range. The signal remained strong approximately 200 feet from the base. It continued to carry the signal up to 1000 feet with some voice breakup. If interference is present, you can press the channel button for a clearer signal. We detected only occasional background static throughout testing, despite physical barriers such as walls and other electronic equipment. Overall, we found the unit well designed and easy to use, and it performed well over a long range. --Emily Bakko

Customer Reviews:
Nothing but problems, No more Panasonic at home........2002-05-06
Disappointing.......2002-04-21
--Volume is too low on the caller's side, and there's no way to improve it. They simply have a hard time hearing you.
--Range is poor, compared to other 900mhz digitals, and it suffers from dropout, up to a second or two, even when close to the basestation.
No more Panasonic at home.......2002-01-31
For a few weeks everything was ok, now, the second line has no audio, line one, can suddenly hang up, and the dialing pad dials several numbers at the same touch...
Do not buy this phone.......2002-01-02
disappointing for the money.......2001-11-16
