Panasonic KX TG8231B DECT 6 0 Cordlesss phone System with an All Digital Answering System

DECT 6.0 technology operates in the 1.9GHz frequency range giving you longer range and amazingly clear sound. The reason why you get better range and sound is because at this frequency other wireless devices such as wireless routers and microwave ovens operating at a 2.4GHz or 5.8GHz will not interfere with your calls operating at 1.9GHz. Add up to 6 additional handsets with just one phone jack. If you have VoIP service plan you generally have access to one phone jack coming out of the VoIP box, by just connecting this base unit to the VoIP box, you can just purchase additional handsets and automatically connect them to your home phone system by just plugging into the wall socket for power anywhere in your home.

User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Need a house phone? Take a look….
Cordless phones have come a long way. This one has the latest Security features and nice clear audio. Easy to navigate and looks good too. Has a great digital answering system. I am completely satisfied with my purchase. No problems here.
4 Stars Great cordless phone
I bought this phone to replace a older Panasonic KX-T4169C which, after 10 years, was worn out.
I am very happy with this product. Battery life is about 1 week. Color display is visually appealing to look at. Has a speaker phone on the handset. Programmable 1 touch dialing – assign a number to your various directory entries and 1 key dial. Has call display. 50 phone number directory storage. Shows the date and time on the handset display. Build in voicemail box are some of the major features.
I wish there were more choices of wallpaper. I think there are only 3 and the handset is a little small and not conducive to resting on your shoulder.
This phone is everything I needed in a cordless home phone.
I’m very happy with this phone and expect it to last me five plus years.
3 Stars Cell phone sound quality
I like the size and functions of the phone but its sound quality is about that of a cell phone. It replaced an ancient ATT unit 3 times its size when the buttons died, but it lacks that land-line sound. I like the recorder and the menus and the small footprint but sound quality should be the central concern if a product design team . I specifically bought this model as it does take a headset. Slightly cheaper cousins of it do not. Battery life seems exceptional and the ability to swap out batteries in an emergency is a real asset.
4 Stars A cut above Uniden…
I love all the Uniden phones I’ve had, and they do offer the best price-to-performance ratio around, but I have to say that this Panasonic is worth the extra money. Namely, the sound quality is excellent in both directions, in both clarity and volume, and the wireless range is quite impressive as well. I love that it uses ordinary rechargeable batteries rather than some ridiculously overpriced proprietary battery which you might have a hard time finding in stores when it can no longer hold a charge maybe 2-3 years from now. (I suspect that cordless phone manufacturers make most of their profit from proprietary batteries, in the same way that computer printer makers make most of theirs from the ink cartridges.) And the form factor is gorgeous: glossy piano black, with a nice clean and compact look. So, high WAF (Wife Approval Factor) for sure.
My only quibble is that this phone is totally handset based: there isn’t even a little LED readout on the base which tells you how many messages you have. Everything is shown on the handset’s little color display, which is certainly attractive for a cordless home phone, but is still pretty lackluster compared to even an entry-level cell phone from Motorola or Nokia.
That’s why I’m giving this 4 instead of 5 stars: this phone sort of emulates cellphones but doesn’t quite pull it off. It lacks the extensive personalizable options, and the menu is short yet not entirely intuitive. The phone book only holds 50 numbers which is great for a cordless phone but sucky compared to a cell phone.
Maybe one day Nokia will get into the home cordless market, wow that would be the best of all possible worlds!
5 Stars Panasonic Phones are my favorite
This is a very nice phone. Easy to set up and use. My last phone was a Panasonic too. The phone at the camp was not and needed to be replaced so I got a new one for my home and took the other one to camp.
I trust Amazon and have bought things here before. I have told many people about Panasonic Phones too. sincerely,Marilyn DeSoto
