Panasonic KX-TG2382B 2.4GHz Phone System (Black)

Comment: I think Panasonic makes the best phones (cordless) that I have ever used. I had an old Panasonic 900mhz phone in college (98ish) and it was awesome. Worked all the across the quade...people always thought it was a cell phone.

As far as these phones go, great options and great features. Talking caller ID, a list of recently dialed and received numbers, fits perfectly under your neck and shoulder when you need your hands free! The expandable handsets are great...no need for a jack in every room...simply plug in the base in whatever room you want. They are great! The ringers are decent and loud enough to hear from several rooms (though I turned all the ringers off except the one on the base because it was too loud to have ringing in all the rooms at once.

For me there are no better phones than Panasonic for cordless use.

Comment: I have had this phone system for over three years and have never had any problems.

Comment: This my second Panasonic system and this one works as well as the first. Long range coverage to about 100 feet, clear transmissions, reliable, full featured. I have used this system on both a copper wireline (Verizon) and Internet connection (Vonage) and both are solid.

Comment: I bought the first Panasonic KX-TG2382B system about 2 years ago as a replacement for a Panasonic 900Mz. No complains. In June 2005 I lost one handset on our pasture and I could not find it anymore. So I bought a replacement handset and this one worked fine, too. All features. I thought about getting more handsets to have 4 phones available, so I bought a used system (base and handset) through an auction and spread the phones out in the house and feed-room. On these used handsets two keys don't work correctly, this comes with buying used stuff (my own fault), but for picking up calls they do fine. After seven months of Texas heat and even some rain I found the lost handset on the pasture again with minor scratches from our horses probably playing with it. I cleaned it from some dried up mud and charged it up again and the next day it worked again like it was brand new. Now I have 5 phones of this brand and system hooked to one phone line and I am very satisfied with it.

Comment: The Panasonic KX-TG2382B telephone system and KX-TGA230B companion are so disappointing I wouldn't think of reselling them to someone else.

Pros: Price isn't bad. Extended warranty available but don't bother, you won't wish to own it long. Very good range; ours works from four houses away.
Cons: Batteries die often, even when the meter says two bars are left (we've read the manual and do charge them correctly). When using the redial function this poorly-designed telephone dials the area code along with the seven digit number, so one can imagine what happens when the redialed number is local.

Speakerphone function works only on simplex (rather than duplex) which is absolutely the worst thing about this telephone. You'll wish to use the speakerphone, but whoever you're talking to will not be able to hear you attempting to speak because the KX - TG2382B hasn't the capability to pick up your voice while a voice signal comes from the other party...they simply walk on you. Very, very, irritating.
