The Panasonic KXTG2550 cordless phone provides all you need to get the most from subscription telephone services such as caller ID and voice mail. Its twin-band transmission gives you virtually interference-free conversation at an incredible range.
Sturdy construction and rubberized trim protect this nicely designed unit against everyday wear and tear and accidental splashes. The backlit LCD is easy to read, and the keypad is intuitive. A large navigator key controls most of the functions, while the LCD displays your options.
Basic features include memory dialing, redial, and a handset locator. Although the navigator key serves as four buttons in one, it requires you to work with other buttons when programming. For example, to store a number in memory, press the function button to activate the navigator key, scroll to "program," scroll to "save directory," enter a name, and finally enter the phone number. In addition, you press the OK button in between each of these steps. Dialing a stored number, however, is not as involved, and the phone's directory stores up to 30 names listed alphabetically. Redial is also accessed through the function and navigator buttons. The handset locator is a large button conveniently located on the base.
If you subscribe to caller ID with call waiting or voice mail, the KXTG2550 provides easy access to these services. The caller ID indicator will flash and the LCD displays the caller's name, number, time, and date. The LCD allows you to see new caller information even while you're on another call. You can store up to 50 numbers in the caller list. Caller ID functions can be accessed using the navigator key. Call waiting is simply accessed by pressing the flash button. If you receive voice mail, the LCD and an indicator on the base will alert you. To get your messages, simply press the voice mail button on the handset. We were most impressed with the long range and sound clarity of the KXTG2550. With its dual-antenna system, one for transmitting and one for receiving, your conversations will be virtually static-free. We took the handset outside, approximately 1,000 feet from the base, before detecting any interference. The phone performed just as well inside behind walls, up stairs, and near electronic equipment. --Emily Bakko
Pros:
- Intuitive keypad and LCD
- Twin-band transmission provides clear connection and long range
- Easy access to caller ID with call waiting and voice mail
- Navigator key creates more steps in programming certain functions
- Cannot be wall-mounted
- No mute button
Amazon.com Product Description
The KX-TG2550B is one of Panasonic's GigaRange Extreme phones. Unique twin-band transmission, coupled with rugged design, allows you to take your conversations outdoors. It also boasts caller ID/call waiting with a 50-call history and a 30-station phone directory and dialer.
Panasonic has also included a 2.5-millimeter headset jack and belt clip for hands-free operation. With an optional headset connected to this phone, you're free to engage in activities that require the use of two hands. And when you're not using your 2.4 GHz phone, its small design enables you to simply slip it into your pocket.
Panasonic 2.4 GHz GigaRange Extreme cordless phones use spread spectrum technology (SST) in both the 2.4 GHz and 900 MHz bands. SST brings an important benefit to the user: enhanced range. Cordless phones with SST have greater effective output power than regular cordless phones because they transmit over the entire bandwidth, constantly changing frequency. This increased power dramatically boosts range. These cordless phones use two different frequencies: 2.4 GHz on the base and 900 MHz on the handset. This means that interference between these signals is minimized, thereby enhancing clarity and boosting range. Proprietary circuitry also helps these phones resist interference from other devices, such as microwave ovens, that share similar bands.
The KX-TG2550B also boasts a voice mail message-waiting indicator (FSK and stutter compatible), headset jack, belt clip, a backlit three-line LCD display on the handset, a fast seven-hour battery charging system, up to 14-day standby battery life, and up to eight hours of talk time on the NiMH battery.

this is it!.......2007-06-20
Paid quite a lot when I got it 5 years ago (for roughly 200 Euro) but it was well worth it! And we're talking heavy (though home) use: up to 2 hours talking every day. Changed the battery pack just last year, after some 200-250 recharges (once a... WEEK!!!)- and that, because it wasn't lasting as long as I got used to.
Not My Ideal Phone - It Gets the Job Done.......2003-11-13
1) It has the newfangled 2.4 GHz Spread Spectrum Technology
2) It is cordless and headset compatible
3) It has caller ID, caller ID with call waiting capabilities
4) It did not have an answering system
5) It worked with the voicemail I have from the phone company
At the time, it satisfied all of my needs perfectly.
Overall, the sound quality is acceptable. The battery doesn't last as long as it did when I bought it, but that is to be expected. I thought, though I was mistaken, that I could add an additional handset to the base system. Right now, I need more phones in my home. That I cannot add additional handsets is a drawback.
The headset option is key for me because I ruined my neck at work from long hours on the phone. I can only talk on the phone with a headset or I get a giant neck ache. This phone works well with a headset and allows me to do lots of activities while on the phone.
Unfortunately and ironically, the biggest advantage of this phone is also its worst feature. Once you have used the headset, the phone cannot be used in non-headset mode. After removing the headset, I cannot get a dial tone on the handset when I press talk. This is frustrating/annoying for people who want to use the phone without the headset.
I called Panasonic to find out how to fix this problem and the representative said it happened because I was not using a Panasonic headset. I bought one, but the problem was not eliminated.
By chance, I discovered that the phone could be restored to non-headset mode if the headset was removed, the handset was placed on the base, the phone was set to auto-pick up and the handset was picked up while receiving an outside call. I used the Panasonic headset after the phone was "reset" like this and the problem still existed.
I remain frustrated because I haven't been able to find my "secret fantasy" cordless phone. This phone meets part of the criteria, but falls miserably short.

Product Description
The new KX-TG2550 is part of Panasonic's fourth generation of "GigaRange" 2.4GHz cordless phones, and the second generation of "Extreme" phones. Its 2.4 GHz/900 MHz Twin Band Transmission design allows for incredible range and clarity. Spread Spectrum Technology (SST) greatly enhances power of the KX-TG2550. It is shock and splash-resistant like the earlier models, and has a number of improvements. The phone base features Dual Antenna System for smooth 2-way conversations. A circuit inside the phone base automatically chooses the better signal from one of the two antennas, so you get the best communication possible. Call Waiting Caller ID can display the caller's name and phone number on the illuminated LCD screen on the handset, even if you are currently on a call when a second call comes in. Viewable via the handset display is a 50-name and number Caller ID memory with 30-station phone directory and dialer for later review and instant callback.Amazon.com Product Description
Get two bands of cordless transmission in one with the Panasonic KXTG2550F2.4 GHz cordless phone with digital spread spectrum technology. This phoneoperates on two FM frequency ranges at the same time--2.4 GHz from the baseand 900 MHz on the handset--to reduce interference and increase range.With twin-band transmission, the phone's radio signals don't compete witheach other and give you crystal-clear calls with no echo. Panasonic hasalso added circuitry to the KXTG2550F that resists interference fromappliances like microwave ovens, which can add static to some 2.4 GHzcalls.
This advanced technology comes with the power of 2.4 GHz digital spreadspectrum transmission. The FCC opened the high-frequency, short-wavelength2.4 GHz range only in 1998. Transmission in this range encounters lessinterference, giving phones like the Panasonic KXTG2550F greater soundclarity, and a range of up to 150 feet indoors. Dual antennas on the baseunit add to this phone's impressive range.
In addition, digital spread spectrum (DSS) switches rapidly from frequencyto frequency at random at a range far above that accessible by most radioscanners. Because of the sophisticated encryption behind modern DSStechnology, DSS cordless phone calls are almost impossible to eavesdropon.
The Panasonic KXTG2550F also features a three-line LCD on thehandset so you can view caller information with caller-ID or caller-ID/callwaiting service from your phone company. This phone's memory stores up to50 names and numbers so you can screen both new calls and calls coming inas you talk on the phone.
Other features include a speed dialer that stores up to 30 numbers, avoice-mail-message indicator light, and a lighted handset keypad so you candial in the dark. All this in a cobalt-blue design that is shock and splashresistant for greater durability. This phone's tough construction andrubberized trim help it survive accidental splashes or impacts.
The handset operates on a long-life NiMH rechargeable battery that fullycharges in as little as seven hours for up to eight hours of talk time.This phone comes with a headset jack and belt clip.
