Summary: Close, but not perfect
Review: This review comes from a long-time Panasonic phone owner, and this new model keeps me faithful to the product line. My general impression is that Panasonic has sensed a consumer shift towards "cellular-as-primary-phone", and in order to stay competitive, they've crammed their new products chock full o' features.My favorite new feature, hands down, is the on-board speakerphone. With a small speaker built into the back of each handset, one button push turns either handset into a portable speakerphone. With full duplex action (no waiting for the other person to stop talking before you do) and microphone quality good enough to make the other party think you're holding the phone, it's a great feature. Disappointingly, Panasonic did away with the speed dial feature they've had for several generations (the "Auto" button) in lieu of a cell phone style, 30-number directory. The directory seems like an afterthought, with features that pale in comparison to most cell phones. In fact, for numbers called most often, dialing is slower than with previous generations' speed dial. If you ever experienced the annoying "drop out" that the 900MHz caller id models produced when caller id data was transmitted from the base to the handset--Panasonic has eliminated it in this model. Other general comments: the included second handset makes this phone a great value, especially if you're replacing two telephones. Each handset includes a standard 2.5mm headset connector, the same as most cell phones. The answering system is standard Panasonic, and can be operated remotely (and easily) from either handset.

Summary: Panasonic 2382 Cordless Phone System
Review: We really like this phone system. It is the best value in a cordless phone/answering machine that we've owned. The features are just what we need--no more,no less. I had read that programming the phone was difficult, but a careful reading of the instruction booklet proved that to be an inaccurate statment.

Summary: ECHO & HISSS
Review: Well I got this phone and I am not keeping it! WHY?
The answering machiene echos and the clairty it NOT THERE!
It hisses in the backround! The only thing that was nice about this phone is that it is expandable.
I had a KX-TG2500 series and just loved it. I now need a phone with an answering machiene and thought it would be nice to have a expandable system so I got this one! What a mistake!
My Panasonic 2500 series is much better that I have had for 3 years so I went out and bought a panasonic KX-TG2583B and just love it! NO ECHO OR HISS!...

Summary: Starts great and then dies
Review: When I first bought this phone we were very happy. It worked great. About 9 months after we bought it the battery started dying. I replaced one battery and that handset worked great for about a month. Now they are both the same. I have to charge them every night or else they will drop calls or not let me answer the phone. The battery life is terrible. I called Panasonic and they had me reset the phone so we are trying that now. I would not recommend this phone to anyone that talks more than 20 minutes a day. I would think there are phones out there that have longer lasting batteries.
