Summary: LEMON product
Review: This is the most disappointing purchase I have ever made. I expected a lot for the money - at the very least, for the phone to work. I bought the 2nd handset for this, and both of them behave the same way. The charger does not work - after being on the cradle for 24 hrs, the phone indicates to put it back on the cradle - cannot talk. On a good day, I can talk on either handset for 10 minutes before it dies with little warning. While sitting right next to the base, the phone indicates to get closer to base. I live in a shoebox apartment, so there shouldn't be a case of being too far from the base. The caller ID doesn't work - we hardly EVER get an actual name or number - just "outside caller". Customer Service indicates 7 minutes to answer, but what the automated voice really means is "never" or in an hour. This phone could have a lot of potential (based on all of the other cool features) but the most important features are LEMONS. I feel ripped off.

Summary: Review
Review: I bought this phone and everything worked except the CALLER ID function so I returned the phone because I was frustrated. All my other phones in the house are caller id and this phone seemed to have problems registering the caller id. I called up Panasonic's tech support and their tech support phone line was always busy and I could not get a hold of them. I also saw about 4 of these phones being returned at a local retail store.

Summary: High Quality Phone
Review: I like it very much. However, the displayed screen on the based unit is rather small. I bought the KX-TG2740 model for my parents because it has a larger area display on the base. I like the speaker phone which allowed me to talk within 4ft with crystal clear quality. It also has the speaker phone on the handset too which allowed me to move about without carrying the base with me. It would be perfect if it could be louder. Overall It is the best phone that I have ever bought.

Summary: Generally a disappointment
Review: I had high hopes for this phone, especially considering its hefty price tag. While the sound quality is generally good, it suffers some serious defects. First of all, although I followed the manufacturer's battery conditioning recommendations, battery life is poor compared to my 7 year old 900Mhz Sony. I can nary get the phone to display more than one bar of battery life on the handheld screen. More importantly, the speakerphone capability on the handset ceased functioning 35 days after I purchased the unit. Beyond that, the phone looks cheap and feels flimsy, and I find the user interface on the handheld quite awkward. All in all, I recommend that you consider alternative products.

Summary: The worst cordless Panasonic ever produced!
Review: I am a Panasonic fan when it comes to cordless phones. I have used over ten Panasonics over the years since the introduction of cordless phone. I purchased this because of the reputation Panasonic had build on me. But I was wrong! This Phone is not a "Panasonic". I can barely hear the other party-I don't have any hearing problem-even at full level of volume. if I connect it to a headset there is a hum. My friends ask me if I am in propeller plane. The biggest disappointment is the battery. You won't believe this, but, this phone needs to be charged every 2 days. I don't use this phone at all (because of above reasons) but the battery goes COMPLETELY EMPTY IN 2 DAYS. Don't waist your money, this phone is useless! I have no idea why some people have left positive feedback on this!

Summary: Looking for great features & Long Range? This is It!
Review: I've had a cordless phone in one incarnation or another since the late 70's/early 80's, and this phone is by far the most superior in almost every way. Let's get down to the important features:
1. Range---I just returned 2 V-Tech 2.4Ghz phones for their incredible lack of range. My new Panasonic has a good signal over 300 feet away from the base. My V-tech, a dismal 50 feet. 2. Sound quality---this phone has no static, and the sound quality of the receiver and the digital answering machine are great. 3. Ease of Use---all the buttons look intimidating at first, but this phone helps walk you through the more daunting tasks, and was easy to set up the directory on the handset. Speaking of which, a feature you'll absolutely love if you add additional handsets---the ability to transfer your directory from one phone to the next in seconds! Way cool! 4. Expandability--this system allows you to add up to 8 phones. And each phone can be programmed to be a room monitor, a great feature if you can't figure out why no one answers from the family room (because the tv is too loud), or to listen in on the baby's room. 5. Customizable--the phones can be customized by color (you can buy 3 different colors of handsets), and each handset has 6 different ringer styles (one very cool two tone ring that is very quiet and nice for a bedroom). Bottom line, this is the best phone system I've ever had. Comparable in price to the V-Tech line, but with much better quality throughout! Only gripe---it needs battery backup on the main unit during a power outage. Otherwise, great job Panasonic!

Summary: Old technology
Review: This is a new model. But for some reason its a US model. In Asia and Europe they have a new standard called DECT. Panasonic have a line of DECT phones which sound better, range better and look better than this line. I have no idea why these are not available in the US of A. Consumers: don't buy this old technology models.

Summary: Great phone, one big flaw for us
Review: We love this phone (2730 model) but we have now had to return two base units/main handsets and may have to give up on it. All of the excellent features are as described by others below -- clear menus, easy to use, good sound and range, easy speakerphone mute, excellent intercom feature between handsets. First rate phone with typical Panasonic thoughtfulness in several areas. However, the Caller ID feature, which is essential for our family, only worked intermittently on both units -- typically on only 1/2 to 2/3 of the calls (even from the same outside number). When CID is not working the handset display just says "Incoming Call". It wasn't line noise or a particular jack -- what made this most frustrating for us is that we have several other phones (including other Panansonic corded and cordless phones) on which the Caller ID always works just fine. Nothing has fixed the problem with the 2730, from changing units, to changing jacks, to disconnecting all the old phones, etc. If this apparent problem was licked, this would be an ideal high end cordless phone.

Summary: What I have been waiting for
Review: Just got this phone over the weekend. I was ready to buy the Siemens, but after reading the reviews I decided to go with this Panasonic instead. It has everything I need and (so far) works very well with excellent range. I bought the base plus two extra handsets, including the alarm clock version. Likes: 1. Very easy to use. I was surprised by the LCD prompts, which are very useful. My ten year old already can transfer calls and use the voicemail.
2. Three voicemail boxes.
3. Ability to transfer a caller into voicemail. If you have trouble getting messages from family members this is the phone for you.
4. Intercom and room monitor features.
5. Program your fifty number memory and then transfer them to each of your handsets automatically.
6. Speakerphone on each handset. Dislikes: 1. The ringers could be a little louder.
2. While I like silver, white and neon blue as much as the next person, I would like a more subdued color choice in my phones. Regards.

Summary: Not what I expected!
Review: At [$$$] Panasonic ships this product with NiCd battery and doesn't have a built-in charger for a spare battery in base.
If you charge a partially charged NiCd battery it would gradually
loose its maximum charge (memory effect).
Though its not as cute as the Siemens Gigaset 4215 model it has
loads of features (more than most people need).
Ask yourself the following question :
Would I need to have 8 handsets? If answer is NO I would suggest
look elsewhere.
