Summary: A string and two cups work better ! !
Review: This thing is horrible, a complete waste of time and money. For 2.4 Gig the range won't allow you to travel from floor to floor never mind out to the yard. The audio is so poor, sending and recieving that you are forced to find a land line less the person on the other end tires of the annoying quality. I purchased Panasonic ( TWO ! ! ) because of the superior performance I have enjoyed with their music systems over the years. Guess they aren't ready for the cordless market. To boot, they died having only been in service for less than 40 days. Walking out to garbage can NOW. These products being so useless, I wish I could issue a negative star rating, but 1 Star is as low as allowed. SAVE YOURSELF R U N ! !

Summary: Horrible!!
Review: I had a simple objective when purchasing my last cordless phone: clear and reliable operation. Unfortunately, I was lured by the good reputation of Panasonic and assumed their top-of-the-line model would fit the bill, especially given the high price.I was terribly disapointed. The phone is only 6 months old, and it is now totally useless. I usally can not create a connection between the handset and the base, and if I can, the audio is so bad the phone is useless. I REALLY feel ripped off. Panasonic has really done itself a great disservice to its brand reputation. I would strongly recommend against this purchase.

Summary: I'm completely stunned.
Review: You know, I thought perhaps it was just *my* phone that started this incessent buzzing noise about 10 minutes into every single call (incoming and outgoing), forcing me to disconnect and call back on another phone! I was incredulous when, after sending this piece of junk back to the factory, they actually sent me back a new completely different broken phone that buzzes with every call. And no paperwork. No info telling me that the repair had a 90 day warrantee, which I found out later when speaking to a very unsympathetic Panasonic supervisor on the phone (not this one).
I initially bought this phone, thinking it was higher quality, to do radio interviews. I paid a lot of money for it. I've always owned Panasonic phones. Am now contacting the better business bureau as I refuse to let Panasonic get away with this. Even just on principle. It's one thing for a few customers to have problems with a certain model, but it's quite another when the company is obviously aware of a flawed product and yet chooses to ignore the complaints.
P.S. The very few who praise this phone after reading so many similar negative reviews should have their heads examined. I will never buy another phone without researching others consumer comments.

Summary: Piece of Junk
Review: 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.

Summary: ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS
Review: For the amount of money that I spent on this phone when it just came out, I am extremely disappointed. It worked well the first couple of months then the coating on the earpiece began to peel; but I could somehow deal with that. But then, the static noises started appearing and became more and more frequent. A cousin who had bought the same model about three months before I bought mine warned me that his phone had began doing the same thing and that it would actually get worse. And guess what? worse it certainly got!!! I could not believe it. All I could hear when I was on the phone were loud bangs almost similar to a dialup via modem. Both my cousin and I contacted Panasonic since we were having similar problems (and were still under "warranty")but their handling of our complaints were horrible even though they themselves acknowledged that they had received numerous complaints about this model. They pretty much said that they would not help out unless we were willing to purchase a new phone. YEAH RIGHT! At this point I have sworn off Panasonic for their substandard products and services.Do yourselves a favor and spend your money elsewhere. I understand that their other model KXTG2583 is getting rave reviews but I remain skeptical about Panasonic technology PERIOD.

Summary: The worse phone ever!!!
Review: I bought this phone when it first came out. It looks pretty nice but kind of expensive. Hoping that this will be the last phone I will get. This phone has so much STATIC that I have to put it on speaker phone to get it to work. Everytime I make a call, I use the handset to dial and put it back on the speaker phone to talk. I was thinking about sending it back to the manufacture but after reading frustrated customers' review and what they experienced about the repair process makes me forget about it. In all, I would never ever recommend this model of the phone to any body.

Summary: HORRIBLE!
Review: I rarely sit to write an online review more to vent than to share ideas and opinions, but I want to include my voice in saying this phone has been TERRIBLE. What happened to us is that after 18 minutes there began a rythmic buzzing noise that grew in intensity until there was so much static, I had to put it on speaker phone to get it to work. Obviously, I'd be better off with a corded phone, what's the point if I have to stand over the thing to use the speaker anyway? So I called customer service. The first tech assistance I got was OK, they were nice but didn't help. WHen I went to send the phone in, that was the start of the problems. I was told 7-10 days to fix it. I gave them a few extra days. After 2 weeks, they said they didn't even have the phone yet. I called the Post Office in Langhornre Pa and they said that the factory service center hadn't picked up their mail in a week! Then try to call the center - I got busy signals 90% of the time and when I got a menu, it said to press 3 to speak to someone. When i did that, it sent me back to the main menu. In oither words, you can't speak to the service center. It's been 3 weeks now, no phone. And others say that they sent it back several times? No way. Believe me, expensive isn't better. When i first called service (the 800 number) the tech told me to do a reset on the phone. I told him I was on it, wait a minute I'll get on the other line (a $20 Bell atlantuic corded phone) When i did, he said "Wow, now I can hear you much better". That speaks volumes. Do DD before buying a phone like this. I wish i did. I'll probably be out the $160 I paid for this lemon.

Summary: Garbage.
Review: Always thinks its out of range, doesnt hold a charge, and it was very difficult to use until the display on the handset died this week. Now it is completely usesless. [money] down the drain and less than a year later i'm in the market for a phone again. The new models are supposed to be better, but don't waste your time ....

Summary: It just plain doesn't work!
Review: I really wish I had read all these reviews before wasting my money on this phone. I have had the exact same problems as most users here--namely, that buzzing/binging noise that obliterates all other sound and that "Out of range" message displayed when I'm standing right next to the base unit. I've tried to remedy these problems, to no avail. I let the battery drain completely and then recharged the handset--the buzzing/binging actually got worse! After reading here about Panasonic's customer service (or lack thereof), I'm not inclined to waste any more of my time and money repeatedly mailing the phone back for repairs, so I'll probably end up trashing it. I've already gone back to my old analog Panasonic cordless KX-T3965, which has none of the flashy features of this one but is built like a tank and has functioned solidly for six years. Since day one, my 2570 has not been usable as anything but a very expensive answering machine and caller ID device!

Summary: Poor sound quality, poor menu and high price
Review: I made the mistake of thinking that an expensive phone would automatically have very good sound quality. I was wrong. The first day I purchased this phone I noticed that the sound fell short of crystal clear. On many occasions I found that the volume couldn't be adjusted loud enough for me to hear the person I was talking to. After owning this phone for a few months the sound quality worsened to the point that, now, I must buy another phone due to severe interference. My handset says "out of range" even when it is right next to its base (I did do my best to make sure that the phone was on the correct channel by pressing the "EXIT/CH" button as prescribed in the troubleshooting section of the manual). I also tried moving my phone to different areas of the house and even shut off all other electronic devices (computers, stereos, etc.), but nothing worked. In my opinion, a phone that sells for (price) should sound just as good as my cell phone (my cell phone sounds far better). My cell phone works just fine in my house with all of my computers running away. And, I'd like to point out that a phone priced toward the high end market should be virtually trouble free, but this wasn't the case. I've had to go through a lot of trouble trying to resolve the issues with this phone. The reason why I spent more money was to avoid the very trouble I've experienced with this phone. Also, the menu system of this phone was poorly designed. Comparing the Panasonic's menu system to my Nokia (cell phone) menu system is like night and day. The menu system of my Nokia5165 is laid out thoughtfully so that the user really doesn't need a user's manual to use features. The Panasonic's menu system is quite bad. I would not recommend this phone to anyone. This is a horrible phone.
