Summary: IT SUCKS!!!
Review: I bought this phone over a year ago. ... I like the style and design. I also like all of the features, but the quality completly diminished. The first 6 months was great. Then I started to experience crackling. Thought nothing of it and continued to use it. Now I can't even use it. You pick it up to answer a call....it pops up with this OUT OF RANGE. Goto check the caller ID and get OUT OF RANGE. [its just bad]. I also have a wireless computer network....but I have had that same network for about a year as well and never experienced these problems. I also have a 2.4ghz GE cordless phone that does not have any problems. I think it is just the quality of the phone......DON'T BUY IT!!!

Summary: Hate talking on phone and love reading OUT OF RANGE?
Review: ... I bought the phone in May, 2001, when I had just moved into an apartment next to a municipal airport in Indianapolis. I thought the interference was possibly caused by a RADAR station nearby, but once I moved into a house in 2002 I realized the phone itself was faulty. I called Panasonic and they said they'd never heard of the "out of range" problem ...

Summary: NICE FEATURES, POOR QUALITY
Review: This phone has great features, caller ID, answering machine, ect. But the quality IS THE WORST. I am standing right next to the base and it will say, "out of range". Happens numerous times! Sound is clear at times, but at other times the sound will cut in and out. I have a better connection using my cellphone. I'm looking for another phone right now to replace this one. I just can't use it anymore!!

Summary: About "Out of range errors" people get with this phone
Review: It's funny how many reviews on here say these phones worked for awhile but eventually would transmit but not receive, give out of range errors etc. This is NOT STRICTLY the phones fault people...The problem is so many 801.11b WiFi networks in use today and that technology uses the same 2.4GHz band this phone uses for receiving from the base... so the phone gets "static" and can't work. The 900MHz band it uses for transmitting to the base is unaffected, get it? So the problem is the new networking technology and an older phone... Fault Panasonic for not having a better design that could handle this interference maybe, but your phone isn't broken... I really love this phone and am sorry to have to get another. You can do what I did, try a 5.8GHz phone, it'll be fine until someone uses that band too for a computer network :-)

Summary: Panasonic KX-TC 2570 "Out of Range" Error
Review: I have had this phone for 3 years now. I went from a 900MHz to this 2.4 GHz for the obvious benefits. Since the first day of purchase, this phone had slight interfearance when moving from one area to another. The phone was great and the range was real good. Only problem I experienced that made this a poor cordless was the interferences from the microwave oven and the above issue. Recently I have major "Out of Range" messages on the display with very little reception but transmission is just fine. Now this phone is useless. A new battery did not repair this problem so it's the handset communications to the base unit as my callers do not experience the static. Great phone while it lasted but it did not last long enough. I have a KX-TG 1400 900 MHz which I paid [$$$] for and it performs better but less range. Since I am usually near the base unit by 200' most of the time, the later phone out performs this very expensive one. I am now looking for a replacement and I will go back to the 900 MHz Digital without a question. Panasonic phones are best from my experience but this one was the worst value for my money ever.

Summary: This phone made me hate ALL Panasonic phones.
Review: This is the worst phone I've even owned. After a few months of use, it's impossible to use ever again. Can't erase old numbers from the handset. Constantly beeps OUT OF RANGE message when trying to erase. Can't hear the person on the other end. Because of this bad purchase, I bacame weary of other Panasonic phones.

Summary: Survived the dishwasher!
Review: To make a long story short, we've had the phone for 2 1/2 years and somehow it ended up in the dishwasher the other night. It was lifeless when it was found and I spent 2 days moping around about having to shell out a bunch of money to replace what had been a perfectly functional phone. I decided to play with it a little and removed the battery cover and unplugged the battery. Since I couldn't go much further without a screwdriver, I just decided to plug the battery back in and put the cover on. For kicks, I pressed the Talk button ... and there was a dial tone! It seems to be working great and it is nice and clean. I don't recommend doing it on purpose though! I will vouch for the phone's superb sound quality, reception, battery life and durability. However, as others have pointed out, it does have some annoying quirks.

Summary: Died after 1 year
Review: I thought this phone worked pretty well when we first got it, but the longer we had it, the less we liked it. The reception is good, but that's just about the only positive thing about it. First of all, we lost the manual when we moved and it's just about impossible to figure out how to use any of the features, even just setting the time and date is difficult. Secondly, when you listen to your messages and you want to return a phone call, the answerer shuts off as soon as you turn the phone on. So if someone left a number to return their call, you need to write it down first and then turn the phone on to call. And thirdly, after a year of use, we're getting this "out of range" message almost every time we try to make a call, even then we're right next to the phone. I've had Panasonic phones in the past that have lasted over 5 years, but this one is a big disappointment, especially for the price. We're changing to Uniden phones which tend to work well and get good ratings.

Summary: Useless contraption
Review: I would have been better off with a string tied to
a paper cup. In the entire history of electronics,
this is the worst product ever made.
