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

October 26th, 2008 Digital Phone Reviews No comments

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. Ringer Tone – 15 Ringer Melody – 5 + 10 Polyphonic Phonebook Memory – 50 items (16 char / 24 digits) 1.5 Color, 65k Colors, 128 x 128 Pixels, 3 Line + Softkey, Pict Handset Speakerphone 3-Way Conferencing Recording Time – about 18 min. Outgoing Message recording time – 2.5 min. Adjustable Ringer / Volume Control Clock & Alarm Bi-Lingual Menu Support (English / Spanish) Rechargeable NiMH Battery Battery Life Talk – 17 hrs. Battery Life Standby – 7.5 days Charge Time – 7 hrs.

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

5 Stars works as advertised and then some
This product does exactly what it says it does and very well. It’s easily portable and saves camera batteries. It also works perfectly after having gone through the wash in my pocket. (It seems I make a habit of sending electronics through the wash & spin cycles–see other reviews) Anyway, it’s kind of like a Swiss Army knife; it’s very handy and does what it’s supposed to do quite well.

5 Stars CHEAP AND VERY HANDY! VERY ESSENTIAL FOR TRANSFERING PICS
Its very handy! and its very cheap! good quality! easy to tranfer pics from digital camera to pc or mac! 2.0 and 10 in 1 is a great combination and plus it can also tranfer pics from SDHC card! Overall great card reader at very low price!

Panasonic KX TG4321B 5 8 GHz Expandable Cordless Digital Answering Phone System

October 25th, 2008 Digital Phone Reviews No comments

Panasonic KX TG4321B 5 8 GHz Expandable Cordless Digital Answering Phone System




Now you can program each handset to ring – or not – at your discretion. Before going to sleep, simply set the bedside handset to Night Mode so that it won’t ring in your bedroom. In the meantime, the handset in the den will still ring when that important call comes in without disturbing the person who’s sleeping.Everybody has become accustomed to Caller ID and its ability to let you see who’s calling before you answer the phone. But what happens when you’re already on the phone and another call comes in on Call Waiting? Until now, you wouldn’t know who was beeping in unless you answered it. With Call Waiting Caller ID, you get the best of both worlds. So now when you get a beep, you can see who’s calling before you answer.With one base handset included and the option of adding up to three additional handsets – all while using only one base and one phone jack – go ahead and put one in the den, the kitchen and the master bedroom so you won’t have to make a run for it when the phone rings.Don’t miss important calls when the ringer is off. The Light-Up Indicator with Ringer Alert at the base of the antenna will flash quickly to show that you have an incoming call, and it will flash slowly to let you know you have a new message. So turn off the ringer and never miss a call.

5 Stars great phone, lots of features
Great quality, great price. I haven’t had this phone for long but, so far it seems like a quality phone. Works well, no interference. It also has a lot of features. The digital answering machine works well too. I would recommend it.

5 Stars Excellent quality and value
Exactly what I was looking for – compact but not too small – discreet – great speaker phone – ability to add more units when needed. Perfect call quality compared to a 2.5GHz model I had previously and had interference.

5 Stars Panasonic Phone
Panasonic phones are tough and long lasting. After 10 years I finally replaced my old one with this one. Great cordless digital phone that is compact enough to place anywhere. I love the features that it’s an alarm clock and has different rings set up for special phone calls.

1 Star Never received
I can’t tell you how the product was because it was never received. Unbeknownst to me, the vendor required a signature at delivery, and the delivery service managed to only come when no one was home. Despite numerous calls and emails, I was unable to coordinate with the vendor or the shipper and receive my item before it was shipped back. I sent this as a gift and was extremely disappointed in this turn of events.

5 Stars Highly recommended
I bought this because I was looking for a cordless phone with a built-in answering machine and excellent reception while walking around my home, and I am very satisfied with this product. I have no complaints.

4 Stars panasonic phone system ok
I put these phones into use and find that they are working very well. I would recommend them.

4 Stars Good Phone
This phone works fine. It does not have an extended range so plan to stay within 50 feet of the base unit. All of the handsets provide speakerphone and this is great when you are on hold. It also includes mute and all of the features you would expect from a phone.

One nice feature is that all of the handsets work like extensions. This means you can have several children on the phone with Grandma and Grandpa at the same time. The handsets also tell you when another extension is in use.

1 Star Extremely POOR Phonebook Memory Capability
You can not use the 0-9 keypad to access more than the first 9 numbers you enter. You have to manually go through all the numbers to get to the number you want. This is really stupid!!!!! and annoying, now I’ve got to repackage this piece of junk and start over looking for a decent phone. Also, even at the highest setting the volume is a little low…

5 Stars Great Choice!
I’m very pleased with the Panasonic Dect 6 cordless phones I bought three weeks ago. They provide better clarity with my Vonage connection. With my old phone friends said they couldn’t hear me clearly but this system has solved that problem. I like the ability to play back messages from each phone in addition to the base answering set. It took me a little while to get comfortable with all the features but now I use them regularly. Great value and excellent system!

4 Stars The best out of three that I tried
I had tried three other sets of phone prior and all had issues with range. This product has worked wonderfully since we took it out of the book. We have three handsets total in a single story house approximately 3,000 square feet. The range is great, the clarity is great, the features are great, we are happy with everything. I am so happy the search for a solid working product is over!

User Ratings and Reviews

3 Stars Buy a cell phone
I wouldn’t be buying another one of these had the original not quit working. Why do I have a land line anyways? I carry a cell phone with me everywhere….

3 Stars Lack of belt clip makes me unsatisfied
Overall nice phone but it is REALLY annoying to pay $13 extra for a belt clip. That piece of plastic should have come included.

5 Stars Panasonic KX-TGA670B
Added a fourth handset to the system, originally purchased about a year ago. Absolutely no complaints. Coverage is excellent throughout the house, garage and back yard, voice quality as good as any wired phone, battery life excellent. Perhaps a little pricy, but it is a 2 line phone. I have no problem paying for a quality product.

3 Stars Difficult to hear
I typically love Panasonic – but I was disappointed in the sound quality of this phone and the design. There’s no way to prop this phone on your shoulder and you can’t add a shoulder grip from an office supply store because if you put a mini-grip on the top, you cover up the speaker and if you put it on the bottom, it covers and crosses over the battery door so you can’t replace the batteries.

5 Stars Excellent
First Item was DOA which Amazon quickly remedied. Has been running for almost 2 years with 5 handsets in my busy house with a standard Telco line on Line1 and a VoIP provider on Line 2 for periodic working from home situations so I don’t tie up the primary line.

Good sound quality as well I use a plantronics wired headset with my office unit for lengthy concalls and conversations.

Originally used a 2 Line Panasonic 2.4Ghz system KX-TGA2000 prior to this and it lasted for 5 years of great service.
