Summary: Excellent
Review: I am very happy with this phone. The sound quality is better than the Sony and Siemens phones I have tried. Note that I have tried earlier generations of Panasonic Gigarange phones that were not nearly as good as this one, so don't use reviews of earlier generations to guide your purchase.

Summary: Dud
Review: This is worst sound phone I have ever had. Without fail, every person who has called as asked us either if we were in the garage or did they call our cell phone, The sound to the listener is choppy and distorted. Even the digital message that you record for the answering machine sounds choppy. Plus no Mute button.

Summary: "New" Panasonic Phone-KX-TG2583 silver
Review: I have owned Panasonic phones for 15 years now.My last was a large style 900hz.-long range that was going on 8 years old! It just wore out...I purchase the new 2.4hz.-I am VERY DISAPPOINTED...it has lasted exactly 11 days until it will no longer function! Beside's not working the silver finish just chips off with setting the phone back in for charging! Absolutely the worst phone I have ever owned... I am hoping to find one of the older model # KXTC1741-white Panasonic's- I have one of these without the answering machines,and it is excellent! It has been dropped,gotten wet,and been chewed on by my mastiff-puppy.This phone is the "Hummer" of Panasonics! Well off to find a new phone- good luck...eh?

Summary: Hate it, it's going to the trash can
Review: I had the previous model without the keypad on the console. But I think it's similar on all features. ... Out of Range signals even when I stand 1 feet away from the console. Sound quality poor. Too much static noise. Not recommended.

Summary: not worth it
Review: With the advent of caller id, I have come to rely on being able to scroll through the caller id list and with 1 touch, place my phone call. I am NOT able to do that with this phone. Caller ID on this phone stores a "1" along with the other 10 digits, as if every call I needed to make was long distance! In other MUCH CHEAPER phones I have owned, there was a way to tell the phone to store numbers differently. Not so for this phone! You have to use the "edit" function everytime! It's easier to just dial the #!! Even if you save the # to the directory in an "edited" fashion, the next time that person calls the caller id list doesn't recognize it as an edited #. For this reason, I find myself using the other, cheaper phones in my home. Way too much $$ for something that just "looks" good. Not all models of Panasonic are this way, so I don't know what happened here. If I knew about this beforehand, I would have NEVER have bought this phone!!

Summary: Stay away from it
Review: From previous reviews and my experience, it seems that Panasonic has lousy quality control.Call volume is poor, phone just dies. Requires disconnect from power and phone jack to "reboot". This happens once a week. Panasonic customer service suggested this, apparently a common problem. Won't admit, this is a defect. Microwave inteference is severe. Other party has trouble hearing conversation. Range is not as advertised. All said and done, a lousy phone

Summary: This phone is driving me crazy
Review: I bought this phone at considerable expense because of its features, the brand name, and assurances from a sales person that the quality was excellent. It has persistently been problematic. Every time I pick up the phone, I hear very loud and obnoxious static. That used to fade away when I began a call, but now it persists, making it painful to listen to callers. Another minor annoyance is the caller ID light which continually flashes for no good reason, instead of simply staying on. I wish I'd bought the cheaper Vtech, or maybe got a Siemens.

Summary: Noise in Answering Machine?
Review: I liked the sound quality of this phone. I recently bought a 1733B Panasonic and people were telling me the sound was poor. But with this 2583 there was an annoying "grown sound", when people would leave messages on the answering machine? The sound was heard between messages. I returned this phone and bought a panasonic KX-TG2563 (which does not have an answering machine). Problem solved!
