Rating: Summary: LISTEN TO THE BATTERY WARNINGS BELOW- I DIDN'T!! Review: Owning an electronics firm, I discounted the stories of battery problems as described below. Howver, within three months I experienced the phone going dead after only a few hours. A call to Panasonic got them to send me another battery, but, get this, they don't have a heavier duty battery available. Well, this battery developed the same problem,and, it is my opinion, that Panasonic tries to get you beyond the Warranty period. There are three possible problems with the phone: 1) it draws too much current and the battery is not heavy duty enough to last. or 2) the Handset circuit is defective and draws too much current, or 3) the charging circuit is defective in these phones. This is NOT an isolated problem, but apparently is either a mass production circuit board problem or a design flaw. Panasonic is a smart company-they know about this. MY ADVICE: Don't Buy it, or if you already did, make sure Panasonic doesn't delay you so that your Warranty expires. I will keep you posted as to what I find that is an electronic problem, but I wanted to warn you NOW so others won't waste their money.
Rating: Summary: A very,very good phone!!!!!!! Review: Simple enough this phone is all about durability and range,range and more range!!!!!!! I took this phone outside my house walked approx. 200-300ft. from the base with perfect clarity! The only reason I didn't use the phone for a longer distance is because it needed to charge =) (I just got it). This phone is superior to other 2-Line 900Mhz phones by far! This phone is armored and has rubber side grips which really make it good for working outside with it (has a belt-clip also). This phone is hands down the best two-line non-expandable DSS phone you can buy. GJ Panasonic, you have the edge over all manufacturer's is this catagory of phone. A big thumbs up!
Rating: Summary: I love this phone... Review: This phone is GREAT. I like everything about it except the way it sits in the wall mount when it recharges. I noticed that other reviewers complain about how often they need to recharge this phone. Saying it only lasts 5 minutes then goes dead. That is due to them storing the phone on the recharger. These batteries develop a memory. If you use it for 5 minutes, then return it to the charger repeatedly, then the battery will develop a memory and only hold a 5-minute charge. If you only recharge the unit when you get a battery low indicator, then a charge will last a week or more, depending on use. The features on this phone are great. Caller ID and the ability to store names and phone numbers are wonderful. The best part is that everything can be accessed from the handset and the sound quality is crystal clear.
Rating: Summary: Panasonic Does it Again! Review: We have four Panasonic 900 mhz cordless two-line phones in the house, which all work very well. However, the one in my office picks up interference from my Intel wireless keyboard and mouse which operates @900 mhz. Another problem I wanted to resolve was that our Casio answerphone would lose messages when the power was off - its battery backup never worked. Solution? The Panasonic TG2593B. The 2.4 ghz signal gives hardwired quality audio. The handset lasts 50+ hours outside the cradle w/o recharging. The programming features are incredibly flexible. For example, with four phones and two lines and receiving faxes at all hours, we have programmed the base on my office phone to be the only one that rings in the house. The answer phone is very flexible, for example we've programmed it to only answer on one line and not the other which we use for faxes and outgoing calls. Messages are stored in flash memory and are not lost when power is disconnected. While the phone worked right out of the box, you do have to read the manual to implement its many features. After looking for the perfect two-line phone I've finally found it.
