Panasonic Dect 6 0 Expandable Digital Cordless Answering System 4 Handset System KX TG9344T
The KX-TG9344T DECT 6.0 Expandable Digital Cordless Phone with All-Digital Answering System lets you move freely around your home with long range and amazingly clear sound. It also assures greater protection against eavesdropping for all your calls. Operating in the 1.9GHz frequency range, your phone will not conflict with other wireless devices such as computer routers, wireless keyboards, microwave ovens and other common household devices. Now you can program each handset to ring 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. Now you don’t have to be holding the phone to see who’s calling. Using text-to-speech technology, the Caller ID information is announced between rings. The KX-TG9344T also boasts a talking alarm clock that will tell you when it’s time for lunch, and a talking battery alert that politely tells you when your battery is low, with a “please charge phone” reminder. 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.

3 Stars Not as good as it sounds
I have owned the KX-TG9344 phones for 6 months now and I am very disappointed. I purchased these phones to replace two Panasonic’s KX-TG5632, 5.8 GHz Digital Cordless. My wife dropped hers and busted the speaker and I cannot find a replacement speaker. So I purchased the TG-9344 in December 2008. With 4 phones we have 2 spares now, and believe me we need them. First I noticed the batteries, only 2 AAA rechargeable 630Mah each. A cheap battery for an expensive phone. We both use the speaker phone. It is very convenient and we have become reliant in using the speaker phone. I get about one hour talk time while using the speaker phone. Compared to 4 hours with the old 5.8Ghz phones. Which has a 3 battery pack that last longer. For about $30.00 I purchased 8 Duracel AAA rechargeable batteries that are 1000Mah. The phones will last about twice as long between charges.
I have arthritis in my shoulders so I purchased both phones for the use of the speaker phone.
Positive side, there are 4 phones. Charge 3 while using one.
Negative side is the absences of the Voice Enhancer that was on the 5.8GHz phone. It improved the clarity of the phone quite eminently. The TG9344 phones do not have it.
The TG9344 phone does have some extra features like talking caller ID, which is hard to understand at times. To improve this feature, program all the people who calls you regularly into the phone book, you can change the spelling of the names so they sound better when the phone announce who’s calling..
The TG9344 phone does look cheaper than the TG5632 and is a little lighter, but by only 40g, about the weight of a AAA battery. The one they left out.
A big feature is the display it’s bigger and brighter, and that makes it easier to read.
The TG9344 is a Digital Enhance Cordless Telecommunication Phone. Operating on 1.9GHz and its range is great. I tried the phone at about 100 feet from the base and the sound was as clear as if I was standing next to the base. No static and no broken words while walking around at 100 feet.
Another positive feature is the ability to block calls. Especially the callers who ignore the do not call list. Negative side you can only block 20 different numbers.
Sometimes not all the phones will ring. The batteries will be charged, the night mode will not be set and the phone will be close to the base. Three phones will ring and one will not. You can answer the call on the phone and it may ring next time, but sometimes not all the phones will ring and this happens independently to all 4 phones.
I couldn’t care less about the wall brackets. Me, I wanted to purchase a good phone not a good wall bracket.
I guess you can’t have everything in a phone but I thank Panasonic could do better. Maybe they can combine the features of both phones and build a better one.
5 Stars Panasonic KX TGA931T DECT 6.0 Cordless Phones
These phones are feature rich, clear, excellent range, excellent talk time, and a pleasure to use. While I have voice mail through my phone service provider and did not need the built in digital voice mail feature, I found a really cool thing with these phones. Our voice mail provider uses an intermittent dial tone when messages are waiting which use to require picking the phone up to know you have a message. However, I quickly discovered that these phones “flash” a light on all handsets when messages are waiting! The talk time is really long also, even with only two small two AAA NiMH batteries, these phones seem to go forever on a charge. The ear and speaker phones are both ultra clear, the best I have ever owned and I have tried quite a few. The talking caller ID is also a very nice feature which is getting lots of use saving having to run over to see who is calling. I bought the 4 handset package and we are extremely happy with these phones.
1 Star Worthless piece of junk
I purchased this “phone” and it has been a piece of junk since day 1. It flashes that I have a message every single time the phone is used…no matter whether the call is incoming or out going! The reception is terrible and there is an echo. When I wrote to Panasonic with my complaints they told me they to send it back and they would replace it with a refurbished set. I did not but a refurbished set and I didn’t have this one long enough to produce any wear (maybe 2 months before I complained) so I don’t think I should have to accept a refurbished unit as a replacement. I will NEVER buy another panasonic item…EVER!
5 Stars Good Product.
I’ve had this item for several months and I am completely satisfied with its performance for use around the house. I have not carried it outside on many occasions, but it seemed to be okay out there too (30′- 40′ from consul with no obstructions). I have used other manufactures products several years ago, but for about the last decade I’ve primarily used Panasonic because I continued to be satisfied with the design and quality of their telephone products.
4 Stars Replace our old analog system
This replaces my 10 year old Sony cordless phone.
pros
- menu for configuration
- too many new features to learn
- very clear voice reception
- do not need phone line for the other phones, just power supply to charge the phone.
- can listen to voice msg on any phones
- speaker-phone feature on the handset works very well
cons
- the base does not hold the handset well, if don’t place in properly, the handset will drop – need to redesign that.

1 Star Where did the quality go?
I’ve owned Panasonic cordless phones for the past ten or so years. After retiring my ancient 900 MHz single handset cordless several years ago, I moved to a 5.8 GHz 2 handset cordless. Both were very clear and the 5.8 even allowed you to simply click talk with the inactive handset to join a conversation on the other handset. Reliability was top notch. In fact, my 5.8 hadn’t failed, even after 3-4 years of usage. I just moved into a bigger home and needed more handsets. Rather than simply picking up an additional handset for a fading technology, I figured I’d just spend a little more and invest in the new DECT 6.0 technology. Huge mistake….
I won’t bore you with every detail, so here are my biggest gripes:
- Sound quality dropped a bit. It sounds more choppy and digital. Sometimes the sound would completely drop briefly for no reason at all. It was almost like talking on a cell phone at times. I verified it’s the model, not a defective phone, because I exchanged it the first time it happened, and it happened on the subsequent phone.
- When you answer a call on one handset, all of the other handsets become unusable for anything other than conferencing in with the current call. Caller ID, phone book, settings menu… everything is unusable. It simply says “Line in Use” when you press a button.
- When you attempt to join an active conversation with another handset, it initially says “Line in Use” when you press talk (see above). You have to press “Talk” button AGAIN to conference in on the call.
- No lighted keypad or buttons. Only LCD is lit.
- And my biggest gripe… It just stopped working today, completely out of the blue for no reason, less than a year after purchase.
There are a few pros, such as good battery life, AA style rechargeable batteries (so you can swap standard AAA in a pinch), shareable phone book, loud clear speakerphone, and a clear LCD with good dot matrix display and clear useful information.
I can’t believe this thing is kaput after less than a year of use. It just literally stopped working. It appears to be the base unit. I realize even the best manufacturers can spit out a lemon or two (or even an entire bad line), so I’m not ready to give up on over a decade of good reliable Panasonic products for one dud. However, if the next Panny I buy to replace this one is bad too… it might be time to abandon the brand loyalty. In the meantime, steer clear of this phone.
4 Stars Works okay, missing some features
Keypads are not back lit, so hard to use in a darkened room. No plug for external headset. Units aren’t very secure in their cradles and can fall out easily if bumped. Otherwise, works well enough and the price was reasonable.
5 Stars Great phones
These phones were very easy to set up and I have been happy with them.
5 Stars Great Value and Very Reliable
Simply stated this is a great phone at an exceptional price that will last you for years. My prior phone was a Panasonic as well and the only reason why I needed to replace it after several years of use was due to the fact that I left it too close to my pool and it became saturated one day. Even still it lasted another 6 months.
I highly recommend this product.
5 Stars Compatable answering machine?
I purchased this unit and am very pleased! I erred in ordering this as it did not come with an answerer, which I wanted. Is there anything “out there” that is compatable to enable receiving messages? Many thanks!
