Panasonic KX-TGA270S 2.4GHz Extension Cordless Phone (Handset Only)

I own 4 of these phones, and I have been very satisfied with them. I replace the batteries about once every 2 years. The range on the phones is excellent, as I have 4 floors in my house, and the base is located in the top floor office. I use the phones with Optimum Voice and it is ideal for VOiP. There is no interference with my wireless router which is also broadcasting at 2.4Ghz. The speaker phone on each hand set is excellent, as is the speaker phone on the base. Only downside is that you have to program each handset with the preset numbers. It would be nice to have the base hold those numbers and automatically update the handsets. The phone has a great feature where numbers can be added to presets from the caller id log. Adding new phones to the network is simple. I think all you have to do is drop the phone into the base once, and it is automatically registered with a designated number. Like I said, I have 4 floors in my house, so the intercom feature is very useful. All you have to do is punch in the other phone's identity number to use the intercom. I believe you can add up to 8 handsets.Overall, the phone is great. There are more expensive and newer phones out there, but I have no plan to upgrade at the moment.

Just what we needed first our Magic Jack telephone numbers.

I received the wrong phone. I contacted the seller. He advised me my shipment was mixed with someone elses and since mine was a better model he didn't expect the other buyer would return it. I found this odd being the phone systems were not compatible with the units that were sent. I'd like to think it was an honest mistake but I have my doubts. I did get my money back and I am grateful but I still need the phone.

The lettering rubs off and fades on the handset so that you need to guess or rely on your memory to get the correct button. Otherwise, good.

I have had this system with 7 extensions for roughly three years. Unfortunately, the batteries must be replaced every 14 months or so. However, the system excels in every other regard. Reception is static free and crystal clear - better than some corded phones I have had. And while I have not researched the market lately, at the time I bought this system, it was the only 2.4Ghz or better system on the market that could accomodate 2 phone lines on a multiphone cordless system. Fearing that if the base station ever broke, I would have flushed about $700 down the toilet, I actually bought a second base station which still sits in its box in my closet, since the original base station has performed without a hitch. The ability to transmit stored phone numbers or entire phone lists from one handset to the others is a nice feature. This system also allows for conference calling, separate voicemail boxes, and many features that I have never even bothered to learn to use. To me, the many pluses make it worth the investment in replacement batteries, which can always be found relatively chep on the web.

Im never above saying thank you or being humbled when a concern i have is offered a favorable conclusion. My earlier review expressed total honesty at being shocked that this cordless phone was 'offered' minus its docking station. I realized the 'fault' was mine for not 'reading' the full description, however, i just had to express my dismay.To find that this seller had sent me the docking station left me jaw dropped for hours.I am MOST grateful for this consideration. THANK YOU does not seem enough, but in the world of technological exchange, its all i have. My appreciation knows no other way but to state it here... THANK YOUI received the order. it is disappointing that the item was pictured with a docking station but not included. The decision to buy this item was done quickly and the 'disclaimer' of 'handset only' was only now realized by me. I see no purpose to selling an item without this viable part. Buyer beware - its like a selling a hand with no fingers.

I love all the features on this two line system which is why I originally bought it, however, I have had this expensive system for many years and had trouble with it from the beginning. After calling many times without satisfaction, my warranty expired and I was 'stuck'. I kept it just to 'wear it out'; then I needed additional handsets! The original one of two, cannot be heard except on speaker, which is the one I was trying to get fixed for so long.I'm surprised that the cost is still so high after so long, and the volume on the handsets is still not loud enough. I hate getting rid of something that cost so much, which is why I thought the new handsets would be a better investment than purchasing an entirely new system. Now, I'm stuck with an additional two handsets that cost me another $175.00!!

I've had these phones for about three years and love them. I have computer wireless G, Bluetooth devices, and a host of other radio emitting devices and have never had a problem. I live in Florida and often roam the yard while on the phone. I can walk an easy hundred feet from the base set before static becomes audible. I converted to Vonage about a year ago and have this system is plugged into that, still flawless and without issue. The only issue is with the batteries, which is why I stopped at four stars. Throw away the batteries that come with the phone! You will see this common thread with other Panasonic phone owners. The Energizer ER-P511 battery will give you double if not triple the talk/standby time and last years instead of months.
