The KCTG2583 includes many convenient featur. You can adjust ringer and handset volumes to your liking and also have the option of choosing tone or pulse dialing. You can expect about 4.5 hours of talk time and about 11 days of standby before recharging the handset battery. The speakerphone lets you roam at will and is fully digital, resulting in more intelligible conversations with less echo and dropout. LED screens on both the handset and base tell you the name and number of incoming calls, even if you are on the other line, while a two-way paging system can either locate that ever-elusive handset or let you talk to someone in another room. The base is easily wall mountable, and the handset is headset compatible.
The answering center is more like a personal secretary than a simple machine. The built in memory can hold 15 minutes of date/time stamped messages, while the speed dial memory stores up to 50 of your most frequently dialed numbers. If you're a subscriber to voice messaging services, you can program the phone to notify you when you have new messages in your box.
Reasonably priced for the number of features, the KXTG2583 also comes backed with a one-year parts and labor warranty.

It still sounds as good as new.The most outstanding features about this phone are: 1. Incredible range. I can drive around my block (in San Francisco) and not lose the signal until the end of the block. I'm not sure if this is typical. The salesman at Tweeter said, "this phone will overpower all the other phones in your apartment complex. And isn't that what it's all about?" 2. Sound quality. Indistinguishable from a land line. Have not experienced interference. Volume levels are generous- Loud and clear at the lowest handset level, up to painfully loud at the highest speakerphone volume. 3. Features. Very good sounding full duplex speaker phone in the base. A fully functioning phone in the base- great when you want to call customer service and hold for 45 minutes while doing your work. The usual caller ID, user directory, and digital answerer functions. 4. Ease of use. Voice menus, screen...Read more 58 of 63 people found the following review helpful: By A Customer This review is from: Panasonic KX-TG2583B 2.4 GHz DSS Cordless Phone with Caller ID and Answering Device (Black) (Office Product) This is the best cordless phone I have bought. Its built for a little rough use. No need to worry if you drop it once in a while. The caller ID on both the handset and the base is easy to read. Sound quality is excellent and range is good. Since the base and handset can be used seperately, conference calls are easy. Easy to setup and the menu is easy to use. 41 of 44 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Panasonic KX-TG2583W 2.4 GHz DSS Cordless Speakerphone with Answering System and Caller ID (White) (Office Product) I read the reviews here and though that I finally found a phone that would replace my eight-year old answering machine phone. I'm still looking.Major features I considered: In addition, the handset is uncomfortable to hold on the shoulder; reception is good. I have to say I was disapointed and returned it. |
