Offering clear connections, excellent range, and minimal static, the Panasonic KXTG2553 gives you plenty of room to roam while on the phone. The 2.4 GHz operation provides far more power than older 900 Hz models, and Panasonic's Digital Spectrum Spreading technology makes your calls less subject to eavesdropping by automatically shifting frequencies every second.
The handset has an attached belt clip, giving you the option of attaching a headset for comfortable hands-free operation. A three-line lighted LCD displays up to 50 entries for both caller ID and a custom phone directory. You can expect as many as 4.5 hours of talk time before needing to recharge the battery. Panasonic includes a one-year warranty on parts and service.
From the Manufacturer
With clear sound, superb range and security, cordless phones with digital spread-spectrum technology such as the Panasonic KXTG-2553 have a greater output power, and thus greater range, than other cordless phones. In addition, this 2.4 GHz GigaRange phone features advanced error-correction software that helps maintain signal integrity at greater distances for high-quality sound.
As the indoor performance of 2.4 GHz cordless phones can be compromised by the fact that 2.4 GHz signals tend to bounce off solid objects, affecting reception quality, Panasonic has introduced the diversity antenna system. This feature improves indoor reception by using two omnidirectional antennas, which offer increased signal sensitivity and enhanced sound quality.
The handset 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. If you subscribe to voice-mail service from your phone company, a light on the phone will illuminate when you have new messages in your mailbox.
Other convenient features on the KXTG-2553 include one-touch dialing capability, 10-preset speed dialing, selectable handset volume and ringer loudness, a lighted handset keypad, and more.

Product Description
The new KX-TG2553 is part of Panasonic's fourth generation of "GigaRange" 2.4GHz cordless phones, and the second generation of "Extreme" phones. It is shock and splash-resistant like the earlier models, and has a number of improvements. The phone base features the "Diversity" antenna system. This technology, used for wireless microphones in concerts as well as in mobile radio equipment, incorporates two antennas mounted in different locations. With two antennas, there is a better chance that one will receive a clear signal. A circuit inside the phone base automatically chooses the better signal, so you get the best communication possible. Caller ID with Call Waiting can display the caller's name and phone number on the illuminated three-line LCD screen on the handset, even if you are currently on a call when a second call comes in. To access the stored Caller ID information, you can use the "navigator" key located on the handset. This multi-function button allows you to easily scroll up and down through the Caller ID log for the caller's information, viewable on the handset's LCD. Also viewable via the handset display is a 50-name and number Caller ID memory with dialer for later review and instant callback. You can talk handsfree while wandering around by plugging a headset into the 2.5mm jack on the portable handset, and clipping the handset to your belt or putting it in your pocket.Amazon.com Product Description

Customer Reviews:
This would be the perfect phone if the battery lasted..........2003-11-13
This is my second Panasonic 2.4 gig phone & both phones had the same problem. The battery life problems started after the return period. I didn't look into warranty repairs as I hobbled along on the week battery of both phones & made sure to charge at all times except when in use.
When straight out of the cradle I can have as long as one single 1-hour phone call - but with any additional calls, the battery drops the call. It can barely sit out of the charger for one evening (after work & until bed) It absolutely can not sit out over night.
The Best Cordless We Have Had.......2003-05-29
My favorite feature is the caller ID and message lights that lets me see someone has called without picking up the phone. (We have voicemail through the phone company, so previously we had to pick up the phone to know someone had called.)
We have dropped it several times and have no problems to report. My husband and I both love this phone. This is my first time writing a review and the first product I have felt warranted my time. Past reviews helped me find this phone in the first place, so I figured it was time to give back!
A Review After Two Years of Everyday Family Use.......2003-03-27
The phone has just enough useful features to make it a good choice for home / small business equipment. It has Caller ID (you need to subscribe, of course), redial, memory of calls received, a "phone book directory" for frequently called numbers, volume control, and the usual features. It also has some features I don't use regularly and forget. One feature it also has and I use ALOT is the hanset finder. You press a button on the base and the handset actually beeps long enough to locate the handset. Some brands tend to beep 5 or 6 times and then stop.
We have a phone company messaging service, so didn't want a phone / answering machine combination.
Most phones on the market seem to have too FEW OR too MANY features. The Panasonic seemed to be as close to perfect in that regard as we could find.
The base takes up little room on our bedroom chest of drawers. The base itself doesn't ring so it is not a nuisance to put in the bedroom. The antenna on the base both pivot for better reception. After two years I can attest that the whole phone is quite durable. The handset has logically placed rubber "bump" pads (on edges and corners) to lessen damage from being dropped
The handset is small and convenient to carry around. But also tends to get misplaced (at least in our house). The read out for incoming calls is backlit and in SOME low lighting situations, very hard to read. That could be somewhat caused by my eyesight, my wife doesn't seem to have a problem. There is a toggle button to navigate through various functions and the menu is convenient and LOGICAL. The number buttons are lit when in use and easy to see and use. The "redial" button is very small, located near the bottom right of the face of the handset.
The antenna on the handset is fixed and quite durable, but seems to have attracted attention as a chew toy from either our son (when he was of teething age), or a pet.
During the two years we've used the phone, we've noticed variable amounts of reception interference. But not any more than several other brands of cordless phones. We have owned and used the product at two different locations (homes) with lots of electronic equipment. The one that has caused the most reception problems has been a electronically controlled ceiling fan in the living room. We have to turn the fan off to use the phone or leave the room. I do suggest experimenting with placing the base in different locations for best reception. It has made a difference. It may speak well (pardon the pun) of the Panasonic that it is still in use while the other brands are gone and been replaced.
We still have the original battery pack in our phone a talk time has definitely decreased between recharging. The display holds any calls that have come in and makes the handset lights blink, which drains the battery quickly.
There seems to be a personal preference factor with regards to size and weight of cordless phone handsets. My wife prefers the full size handset of another brand of cordless phone if she is to be on the phone for any length of time. I prefer the Panasonic compact headset. I'd suggest checking out a few different phones and brands before purchasing.
We checked quite a few brands a liked the Panasonic KX-TG2553B 2.4GHz DSS Cordless Phone with Caller ID (Black).
After two years, I can say we are happy with our purchase.
