Panasonic KX-TG2257S 2.4 GHz Digital Cordless Telephone

This phone looks good on paper: 2.4 GHz, digital answering machine, call waiting caller ID, digital duplex speakerphone on base and handset, 50 number memory, etc. But when it comes to clarity and reception, this phone is terrible. The answering machine message playback and the speakerphone sounds are muffled.

I have exchanged two phones and am on my third one the box says 11 days standby five hour talk time. It is more like 30 minutes to 1 hour max. Love the features but can't live with the Battery problem.

This phone would be great IF IT COULD HOLD A CHARGE! But, alas, it can't. After charging for 2 days straight, the most I can get out of this phone is 30 mins of talk time and then it dies without warning! I've contacted customer service and they were useless. They wanted to know everything and anything under the sun before they would even consider looking at the phone. Moreover, they want me to pay to send this junk phone to them! Don;t buy ANYTHING from Panasonic. Period.
