Summary: Highly Disappointed!
Review: Like other reviewers below--I found this phone to be a major disappointment. At first it was a great phone(and should have been for the price tag!)--but after about a year I started getting horrible static, so bad that I'd have to change phones in mid-conversation. I wouldn't recommend this phone to anyone.

Summary: time to buy a siemens phone
Review: My experience mirrors that of the reviewer below. After about three months, my phone would give me 'out of range' messages, even if you're standing right next to the base unit. It would typically happen after sitting on the charger for a long period of time. I tried changing the battery, and it seemed to fix the problem at first, but it soon returned. My phone was a refurb that I bought, so I thought the issue may have been specific to my phone, but reading the reviews here, I see that it's a problem with ALL of their phones. I notice that the newer Panasonic phones here seem to be getting positive reviews...it may be just because the reviewer has had the phone long enough for problems to surface.

Review: Reading reviews helped me decide on this model phone that isn't available at 'brick & mortar" stores. This phone has excellent sound clarity, it's powerful, and it's easy to set up. What I really like about it is this--- Most cordless and cell phones are designed to be so small that you need a microscope and a pair of needle nose pliers! This is a good sized phone, sturdy, and a wide ear piece. You won't regret this purchse, I didn't! :)

Summary: One Excellent Cordless Phone
Review: This phone was well worth the wait for it to become available and the high price (MSRP) I paid for it! I can literally walk around my block while keeping a call going, and the battery strength indicator on the handset is an invaluable tool to let me know when recharging is needed. My only complaint is a software issue within the phone; after using the phone for any length of time, then hanging up, you have to wait around 20 to 30 seconds to allow the phone to go back into standby mode in order to use the built-in phone directory for your next call. This is a strange quirk, and frustrating if you need to make quick back-to-back phone calls from your directory. You may however simply direct-dial another number at any time to avoid this little glitch. Hoping they corrected this problem with the new KX-TG2553 series. Otherwise a truly fantastic phone!
