These phones have all the right features -- slim profile, digital spread spectrum, handset speakerphones, NiMH batteries, mute function, intercom -- and their ease of use is really great. Previous Panasonic phones I've had did not allow you to turn the ringer off completely (only lowered the volume), and the phone memory took so long to scroll through that it wasn't worth the trouble to use the phone book dialer if you knew the number. These phones scroll as quickly as you can press the buttons. You can even send phone book numbers from one handset to the others, so you don't have to program each handset's phone book separately. Oh, and you...Read more 48 of 52 people found the following review helpful:  Some Good Things, but Too Many Bad Things, By -jeff. (Texas) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Panasonic KX-TG5212M GigaRange Supreme 5.8 GHz DSS Expandable Cordless Phone with Dual Handsets and Answering System (Office Product) I got this set and 1 extra handset for a total of 3 phones. For the price, the voice quality just isn't there. It's not that it's terrible - just not as clear as my old 900 MHz phone. It also doesn't have the range that my old one did.There is also a "Feature" on this phone that will be the reason I send it back. When you have multiple handsets the phones only recognize that you answer a call on the handset you use. In other words, if you answer a call on one handset all the other handsets display that you missed the call. It doesn't know that you answered the call on the other handset. If you don't use a handset for a couple of days, you go to pick it up and it says you missed 15 calls... What? Oh... I just missed them on this handset. I called Panasonic and was told that this is a "Feature", and they could not change it. There are some nice things about the phone, but there are also some "Features" I can do without. 18 of 18 people found the following review helpful: This phone does everything!, By Barry (North Carolina) - See all my reviews This review is from: Panasonic KX-TG5212M GigaRange Supreme 5.8 GHz DSS Expandable Cordless Phone with Dual Handsets and Answering System (Office Product) I've been looking at expandable systems for a while and they all have what I consider to be major drawbacks like NiCd batteries, limited to 1 handset at a time (what's the point of multiple handsets?), marginal sound quality, dual band (using 5.8GHZ and 2.4GHz), no speaker phone, etc.The first reviewer was right - Panasonic seems to have listened to customers on this model. I can't think of a single drawback. After the initial charge, it's ready to go and easy to use. If you have caller ID, even the date/time is set automatically when you receive a call. That's great if you lose power a lot. My wife was able to save a number from caller ID to memory and copy it to the other handset without reading the manual. I get no interference from the microwave or wireless LAN like with my old 2.4GHz phone. Sound quality is good on the handset and on the speakerphone. I haven't had it long enough to test battery life or range yet. There's a lot of features I'll probably never use like...Read more |
