Just like many reviews here, I am stuck with a phone that I can't use. After just about 11 months, the reception between the handset and base was so bad I couldn't use it. Customer service told me to try removing the battery from the handset for 1/2 hour. That seemed to fix it for a few days, then the 'out of range' and noise started again. The next cust. service operator told me to also unplug the base unit and the handset from all power, this time for several hours. Then I recharged and tried to use the phone again, but found the same problem. At that point it was 12months and 4 days from the time I received the phone (I have proof) and customer service says that I have to pay a minimum of $100 to fix it! They told me on the first call that since my problem was reported within the 1 year warranty period, that they would take care of it if their 'reset' procedures didn't work. I've spoken to managers, and higher ups, to no avail. Avoid like plague! Anyone know what this problem is and how to fix it? Should be recalled! Any lawyers interested?

It worked fine for about year, and as soon as its warranty is over, static has come into the handset! The manual says to push a button to choose a different channel, but it does not work!

Like most of the reviews I have read, I also see that I bought a lousy product. Like most I was suckered in by the looks and the new technology of the 2.4ghz phone. My phone lasted about one year when the out of range messages started appearing as well as the loud buzzing in the handset. My brother also bought the same phone with the same problems after six months. What seems obvious from most of the reviews as well as brother's and my own experience, is that this product is defective and Pansonic should be forced into a total recall with either replacement working phones or give everyone who bought this product all of our money back.

I... expected perfection from panasonic. I have 2 big complaints: 1)Its unbelievable how poorly constructed this phone is! It sounds ok, but the handset creaks whenever you just squeeze it a little while talking. Its VERY annoying because the noises are amplified thru the earpiece and actually hurts my ear. Its like the parts don't fit well together or something. While talking on the phone its impossible to hold your hand perfectly still, so every time you move it makes creaking sounds (sorry but thats the best i can describe it). 2)The base unit will frequently malfunction and won't even pickup incoming calls, so the phone doesn't ring. Nothing on the base will work when this happens so I have to unplug it, then plug it back in and it usually works after that but is a major pain in the neck. Customer service didn't help. I would stay away from this phone for sure!!

The phone looks good, and has a long range.BUT, you always need the user guide because the interface is not intuitive at all. And worst, there are technical problems:I had trouble with caller ID so I had to return the phone.The display on the handset is dead, after less than a year.

I was one of the first to breathlessly purchase this phone about a year ago. What a mistake! So many features that made Panasonics early cordless phones the best are gone and instead are replaced with confusing, ridiculous new ones. You can't do ANYTHING without the handset and good luck firguring out how to set the time. It is non-intuitive, you have to rinky-dink the phone in place so it can actually re-charge and it's range it questionable.With so many 2.4Ghz on the market now, there is no reason to buy this inferior product. My home just experienced an major power surge (blow-up the transformer). The Panasonic KXTG2570 was on the same surpe protector as my computer. The Mac is fine, the Panasonic KXTG2570 is FRIED and DEAD. I'm happy though -- now I have the opportunity to buy a decent 2.4Ghz phone.I love Panasonic; I own their VCR and DVD players and they are excellent. Their early cordless phones were excllent -- they sadly dropped the ball in this one.

This is easily the coolest phone family on the market today. Great looks, top-notch technology, etc. I purchased this unit (with the TAD) with high hopes and found it to be very very very disappointing. Here's why: 1) The TAD is all digital and the quality stinks. The sound it significantly better from my old tape-based answering machine. I wonder if this is the same for all digital systems.... 2) The interfact is really counter-intuitive. For example, to deleted messages from the unit remotely, you have to hit 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 1 (or something like that). The menu only lists one item at a time or "Hit 2 for more options...." Whoever thought of that should be shot. 3) You have to turn on a light to see how many messages you have. What happened to bright displays that glowed in the dark? Again, my old answering machine has this simple nicety.The list goes on.... I'm returning this unit and putting my old tape-based answering machine back in service. Guess I'll have to shop for a new phone, too....

I owned this phone. After three months the silver coating all over the phone started to peel and the printing on the face of the phone began to wear off. When I contacted Panasonic, they said this was caused by chemicals from my skin, i.e., makeup. I remarked there was not warning about using the phone while using makeup or having the phone come in touch with my skin. Ultimately, I am getting my full refund.The phone has other problems. Sometimes the screen doesn't work; I would get a message saying it was too far from the base when it was only 6" away; the phone wouldn't work in front of my house when they claim it will work up to a mile away. It's difficult to hold and overall just a pain in the neck to use. It is clear and without interference, but that's a small plus considering all the minuses. Don't buy it!

I bought this phone because it looked cool, was made by a good company, had all the features i could ask for, and was supposedly better then a digial 900 mhz phone. Well..the phone is a joke. The phone has a hissing in the background that drives you nuts,I constantly have to change channels to talk to anyone for more then 15 min and, and the phone recularly says "out of range" even though im 5 feet away). It's pretty sad, I live in an apartment and you'd think I was down the block the phone acts. The answering machine is horrid as well, sometimes you cant even hear the caller's message, and even my own message is crackled and has hissing in it. Save your money...Dont buy this phone.

I had this phone for about 6 months when all went downhill. Similiar to other reviews I had the same problems. Ultimately the out of range will not turn off and the phone is now in the garbage. It completely stopped working one day and I could only get a dial tone from the speaker button, however, you cannot dial with this so I was out of luck and out of a phone. Because i procrastinated I did not send it back to the warehouse as you have to do upon calling customer service.The phone is certainly not user friendly, who wants to press 3 buttons to redial a call and it only stores 30 numbers. I also own the SONY Spread spectrum 900 mhz and prefer it. However, this phone too, has failed on many occasions. The Panasonic ultimately was a big waste of money. With most of these phones, the more technology, the worse they are after a few months of use. I would not recommend this to anyone who wants a phone to last longer than a few months.

Most of the time, the phone produces very clear sound. However, there are times when conversations are marred by popping and clicking and random fuzz, and there have been two or three times when the static got so bad I was forced to switch phones. I can detect no pattern to when these problems occur and have not discovered any way to eliminate this interference (pressing the channel button does not seem to help).When I plug a headset into this phone, people I am talking to tell me that the sound is louder and clearer than just using the phone alone. I also hear better when using the headset. This is the exact opposite of our previous AT&T cordless phones, which I was unable to use with a headset when talking to someone who spoke softly or who did not have good hearing.The answering machine seems to work well. I really appreciate being able to delete any individual message while keeping others. However, I was disappointed to discover that there is no provision for leaving a voice memo that another family member could listen to when they got home.Although it is possible to store lots of phone numbers in memory and enter a name to go with them, it is not particularly easy to dial a stored number. It takes a minimum of 5 keys to dial any number in memory.

I have had many cordless phones (including Panasonic - my last one did well), and this one is by far the worst. I was looking forward to long range and clear reception, but it falls far short of any expectations the cost should imply, and all the other problems render the phone almost useless. We had a lot of difficulty hearing anyone because the mic picked up every noise in the house while talking and fed it back in your ear. We had a problem with out-of range cut-outs when standing right next to the base unit. You can not program any function without the manual right there to read the codes. Even the layout of the buttons was poorly thought out. I think Panasonic came up with a big loser on this one. I wish I would have returned it shortly after I got it. It has since completely died - just quit working, a very expensive addition to the trash heap.

I'm also confused by some of these posts. There seems to be some sort of quality control problem? I haven't had any problems with mine... good sound quality, battery life, and range. Also to the guy that said it takes at least 3 keypresses to redial a number, try reading the manual. Hit function/edit and then talk (I think that's 2...) I think navigating the directory is pretty easy too, works like any cell phone would although a jog dial would have been nice. The ability to listen to messages through the handset is especially nice.

Unfortunately, I didn't read these reviews until after I bought this phone. My experience is the same as most of the reviewers. The phone is really bad. It has wonderful features and a great look, but it just doesn't work. After about 5 minutes on the phone I get this buzz that is so loud I can't hear the person I'm talking to. The buzz starts low and gradually gets worse. I've tried moving the base unit, unplugging appliances, messing with the antenna, and switching channels. All to no avail. I don't have a problem with the user interface, but that doesn't matter since the phone doesn't work.

This phone is a complete rip off. It has nice features but what's the point if after a while nothing works. I have had this phone for less than 6 months now and I'm seriously thinking about trashing it. Sound is horrible, the range can be easily achieved by a 900mHZ phone and to make matters worse the handset all of a sudden gives an "out of range" message even while standing right next to the unit. Last time this happened to my handset, I was unable to make calls or program my phone for more than a week. If you want to do something smart don't waste your money on this phone!

The features were good, but the interface was very clunky and difficult to use. It offers just about everything from Caller ID to handset message retrieval, and I got about 200 yards away before being cut off. The answering machine was good. Unfortunately, the battery life is short. It claims a 14 day standby period and 8 hours talk time. Speaking only a few hours indoors, it went dead. We went on vacation for six days. We left with a full charge, and came home to a dead phone. We owned it for 4 weeks before returning it for another unit. We charged the second one fully, and it went dead after *maybe* 2 hours of talking at close range over a 3 day period. We took it back immediately. We couldn't locate it centrally in an open room like they suggest, but it was against a wall and we had little (if any) obstructions when using it. We went to it from a 25 channel Lucent model and were extremely disappointed. We recharged the Lucent once a week tops, and that was not even necessary. Maybe the battery isn't strong enough for all it offers?Performance was decent, but far from excellent. The range was great, but that was it. People said I sounded distant, and the unit is small. My wife complained she couldn't hold it on her shoulder easily and talk.Please note the unit is not wall mountable.

I bought the phone in chrome (unlike the black pictured here). I get raves from friends who come over and use my phone because it has the look and feel of a cell phone. The sound quality is good although somehow people's voices sound softer and fuzzier than other voices. Unlike other portables, leaving the phone off the headset overnight will drain it completely. The user interface is also poor. You have to hit 2 buttons to redial and the scrolling center button is not altogether intuitive if you should be hitting side-to-side buttons or up-to-down buttons to maneouver through menus. My last complaint is the cradle. Sometimes returning the phone to the cradle will not position it correctly to recharge the battery. Once you are aware of the problem it is not difficult to reposition the phone correctly but your guests may not realize it and you may find yourself with a dead phone. I know the cons seem to outweigh the phone but the aesthetic and feel of the phone are superb and I wouldn't want to trade it for anything else.

Somehow I don't find this user friendly. The main reason being the functionality of Redial button. You need to select menu, then redial, and then talk to redial a number. Three buttons to redial? Who likes to do that?????Some other minor things that bothered me are the blue colored navigation button and the size of the TALK button. It is so confusing when you hang up the phone as you need to make sure you are disconnected.For this price they could have given a caller id on the base unit too! I am glad I did not pay to get this one. I had it as a gift.

I don't know about you, but when I shell out cash for the latest tech gadget, I expect all the features of yesteryear and better. So how come there's no MUTE button?? And what's with the annoying menu navigation button that's no user friendly?? Panasonic is not the only culprit though because I have tried every 2.4 ghz on the market and 70% do not have MUTE. What's going on here, do people not feel the need for privacy anymore? I spend a lot of time on conf calls from home and I need a MUTE.The phone did have really excellent range though, looks cool and durable, great clarity and no interference. I just need a MUTE. So, it went back to the store along with the others.

i bought this phone after i bought the siemens gigaset. it took three days to decide to return the panasonic. (making it somewhat better than the siemens.LOL!) it just wasn't very good. the sound of the phone was only average and the speaker on the answering maching was distorted. there's no back up batery so if there's an outage you can't use it and will lose your excisting messages. my headset sounded awfull on it. i bought the undiden exr 2480 after this phone. it's two way 2.4 ghz transmition makes it the clearest cordless i've ever heard. but again, the speaker on the answering machine is junk. i think i'll take that one back and keep my old one till something truely good comes out. good luck!

We've had Panasonic phones for awhile and have always been happy with them. This phone misses calls though: we'll pick it up and it'll take a moment to connect then say "Out of range" even though it's next to its handset.I've missed too many calls with this phone and I'm here now shopping for a new phone. I strongly would not recommend this telephone: especially at this price.

I like this phone in the kitchen and would like to mount it on the wall. With the handset standing up, this wasn't possible.
