Panasonic KX-TG6500B 5.8 GHz DSS Expandable 2-Line Cordless Phone (Black)

I have struggled over the years to find a cordless phone system that actually worked well. After buying several individual 2 line phones, and not liking the results of a bunch of individual phones not "playing nice" together, I tried the earlier version of this system from Panasonic and had trouble with it too. One last attempt was when I bought this system from Amazon.com a few months ago. This has been the best phone system ever. The features are great and easy to use. You can transfer calls, add privacy or conference call, change ring tones, easy phone book, caller ID, and best of all, the range is great. The only complaint I have is that you can only use 4 handsets on this system. I would love to have the same system with capacity for 6 or even 8 handsets. This is a great system and I finally cut the cord and threw out my hard wired phones.

cordless stopped working in 2 months. wasted money on Panasonic. Even last time Panasonic broke in 6 months. I will never buy Panasonic.

No interference at all with my wireless router, which was my greatest concern. Moreover, the sound quality is great!I expected a somewhat greater range than I got (thus the 4 instead of the 5 stars), but it's not bad considering I live in a three story apartment with 100% concrete & brick walls (no dry-wall). The blinking antenna-tip instead of the annoying ringing is a big plus as well, and it's on-screen menu is very user-friendly. Bottom line... great buy, and great value for the money.

I have had this phone for several months now. People I talk to say they can hardly hear me. When I plug in a headset, they can hear me a little better. When I use the speakerphone on the handset, the people I talk to can hear my voice louder than without it. It is a nice phone with good features, but yelling into the phone is starting to get old. I have two handsets and both have poor audio. I can hear people fine. A call to Panasonic was little help. Not many 5.8 2 line phones out there, but I wouldn't waste time on this one.

Here is my quick review after using this phone for several months. I purchased it mainly due to the positive reviews (especially versus the other similar models) and the features it offers. My highest priority was a two line cordless phone that was 5.8Ghz so it wouldn't conflict with our wireless network at home. It has all the features that you would expect including a built in answering machine, speaker phone on handset and base, and good clarity and range.I have two issues that you should be aware of. First some people report that the volume is too low. That is I can hear the person I'm talking to just fine, but the person on the other end has a little trouble hearing me. I called customer service for Panasonic and they suggested turning off the Voice Enhancer feature, which didn't really seem to help. That feature mostly affects the sound on my end from what I understand. However when I talk at a good volume the person can hear me just fine. The issue is a bigger concern when using a headset, so I always try to speak up when possible.The other issue is the strange voice interface to the answering machine. You would think it would behave like a typical voicemail system at work, but the menu system is poorly designed. When I call in while on the road, I expect to be given a prompt with all the basic choices (e.g. push 1 for this, 2 for that, etc...), like an option to delete the message I just heard. Well that option is buried several menus deep, unless of course you remember that exact key to press on the phone. So it is a good idea to write down the basic command set on a card and keep it in your wallet.Overall the phone quality is very good and meets our needs. I just think they could have done a little better at this price point, especially with the voice transmission volume. I don't know if there is a better model out there that will do better so shop around and decide for yourself.
