The caller ID has a 30-number internal memory and audibly announces the name or number of the incoming caller. An additional 30-number internal phone directory allows you to store your most frequently used phone numbers, while a display-and-dial feature lets you scroll through either the directory or caller ID and call with the touch of a button.
The all-digital answering machine features a new-call indicator, so you know when you have new messages waiting, and an illuminated keypad makes dialing easy, even in the dark. Headset compatible, the KX-TG2356S has a speakerphone on both the base and handset, allowing you to communicate hands-free. It also comes with a belt clip and is wall-mountable, keeping your countertop clear from extra clutter.

This review is from: Panasonic KX-TG2356S 2.4 GHz Cordless Phone with Answering Device and Talking Caller ID (Silver) (Office Product) Excellent sound quality throughout the house, easy to set up, logical features -- all in all a solid performer. The digital answering machine can be set to an "enhanced" mode for a better quality recording if one is willing to accept a shorter total record time (approx. 8 minutes total). Using that option, we have found messages to be very clear and more easily understood than on our last two digital answering machines. We don't use caller ID, so we can't evaluate the "talking caller ID." On balance, we're very pleased with this Panasonic phone. 20 of 22 people found the following review helpful: This review is from: Panasonic KX-TG2356S 2.4 GHz Cordless Phone with Answering Device and Talking Caller ID (Silver) (Office Product) I'm on a quest to find a cordless phone with decent features and excellent sound quality. I was hoping my search would end with the Panasonic KX-TG2356S, but unfortunately I'll have to keep looking. The phone is attractive and has a lot of nice features, but I'll be returning it due to the following shortcomings: 1) I hear my voice echoing when I speak. 2) The handset volume is too low. Even on the loudest setting, it is difficult to hear the other person. 3) Low level of static at all times. I run a test where I get a dial tone, then press the 1 key and listen for static. 4) All audio from the phone has a very high pitched, trebly, shrill sound quality. This includes the answering machine, dial tone, and the voice of people you speak to. There are a few other things I don't like about the phone. There are pretty minor, but worth mentioning: 5) Handset doesn't always recognize it has been placed on the base.

This review is from: Panasonic KX-TG2356S 2.4 GHz Cordless Phone with Answering Device and Talking Caller ID (Silver) (Office Product) Overall this is a good product but details can be niggling. The phone beeps to confirm the handset has begun charging which is fine in concept but it seems to resettle itself periodically and repeat this beeping no matter whether it is in the desk or wall position, with the handset in either way, and with very clean contacts. So despite some cool features like a speakerphone in the handset I am returning this item because I already have too many things that randomly beep at me.
The talking caller ID worked ok but for wireless callers it wasn't helpful, even if you had the number and name in your address book. Also while the number is displayed instantly, the talking caller ID takes until about the second ring to start by which time you've already gotten up :) |
