A 5.8 GHz DSS cordless phone from Panasonic, the KX-TG5100M provides both excellent quality and a number of useful features, including an integrated digital answering system and caller ID with call waiting compatibility. By utilizing the less congested 5.8 GHz frequency and digital spread spectrum technology, the KX-TG5100M offers clear, intelligible reception even at a distance. Multiuser expandable, the KX-TG5100M supports up to seven optional handsets (plus one included, for a total of eight) and features handset-to-handset call transfer, as well as two-way intercom between the base and any of the handsets. A call privacy feature lets you determine if other handsets can join in on the conversation, while the page feature makes locating a lost handset into a snap. The KX-TG5100M features 50 caller ID memory locations and a built-in speakerphone for hands-free operation.
Wall-mountable, freeing up valuable desktop space, the KX-TG5100M is also headset compatible (a belt-clip is provided) saving your neck from the strain of cradling the phone. The integrated three-mailbox digital answering system has a record time of up to 15 minutes, while remote message check lets you stay in touch even while you are away. The NiCad battery provides about 4.5 hours of talk time and 11 days of standby, while a low battery indicator lets you know when the phone needs recharging. A time/date stamp lets you know when each message was received, and a 50 number phone directory lets you easily find and dial the most frequently used phone numbers. The KX-TG5100M also comes backed with a one-year limited warranty.

I was looking for a 5.8Ghz system to get around the static I experienced with 2.4ghz phones and my Wi-Fi (802.11b) home network.In no particular order, here are my pros and cons about this system: PROS: 1) Excellent speakerphone on the base 2) Ability to pickup voicemail from any handset (don't have to walk to the base-station to see if you have voicemail). Handset visually tells you which buttons to push to skip or repeat the message. It also shows the message # while the message is being played back. 3) Handsets have Privacy features to prevent other family members from accidentally picking up the line while you're on it (handy if you run a business out of your home .. or you are a teenager and don't appreciate your parents listening in) 4) Speakerphone on each handset means mobility and hands free talking 5) Each handset shows if the line is in use before you reach for it 6)...Read more 106 of 110 people found the following review helpful: It's Simply The Best Phone On The Market!, By This review is from: Panasonic KX-TG5100M 5.8 GHz DSS Expandable Cordless Phone with Answering System (Office Product) I bought and tried three different 5.8GHZ phones available on the market...

I've been very unhappy with my old Sony 900 MHz unit for various reasons, yet each new machine that I contemplated buying had quite a few reviewers who found it unsatisfactory. In looking for a new machine I needed a true 5.8 GHz phone that wouldn't interfere with my wi-fi network. Some of the 5.8 phones on the market are deceptive in this regard, using the 2.4 GHz frequency one-way. My other main concern was the audio quality of the answering machine. The Sony I've replaced failed to pick up the voices of callers who spoke a little softly. The first thing I did when I set this phone up was to call and weakly mumble a message. It passed the test. Frankly, I think the audio is not as good as the old machines that used cassette tapes, but I'm not likely to find one of those for sale outside Ebay.The Panasonic 5100 has a nice array of features that should meet the needs...Read more |
