Panasonic Dect 6.0 Expandable Digital Cordless Answering System - 4 Handset System (KX-TG9334T) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The battle between WiFi and wireless telephones.
We had a mixture of 2.4 gigahertz phones for years that coexisted peacefully with our old wireless G router. Well, the router died and we needed a new one. The newest technology for wireless is "N" with Mimo Technology, which supports both N and G wireless networks. So, of course we buy. After all, now is the future, right?
Mimo WiFi uses several different radio frequency channels (in the 2.4 gigahertz range for G networks) at the same time to assure an optimal radio signal to your WiFi laptops (in our case, G). This works great for the WiFi network, BUT......every time our telephones rang...Poof, the WiFi Signal got scrambled and we lost the network. We tried setting different channels on the phones and the router, nothing worked.
So being in the market for a major upgrade with our now antiquated phone system, we bought this Dect. 6.0 system that uses the 1.9 gigahertz frequency.
First of all..no interference in the WiFi network....NONE!
There are also a few features that I like.
We can now communicate and transfer calls with each other over 5 acres of land with complete security.
Talking Caller ID enables me to save a few steps and decide if I want to answer the call.
Since Vonage (my phone service) does not have specific call block, this phone can block certain pesky incoming calls and give the abusive callers a busy signal to listen to. This is a great feature and the only way Panasonic could improve on it, is to give us a choice between the busy signal or tones that indicate that the phone has been disconnected.
I can't say anything about the voice mail except that you can turn it off quite easily. We use the Vonage voice mail and are quite happy with it.
We are easily adding to the phone book as calls are coming in. I think it is a bit of a hassle to add them in manually.
Different ring tones are nice, and sound pretty. All of us have set up different ring tones and it is quite a symphony in the house when all the phones play their distinct melodies.
Each phone has a speaker phone and my friends can't tell I am using it.
Only the main base need to be plugged into a backup power supply if you want to do that.
All in all, I am very satisfied and am going to add 2 more phones to my 4 phone system.
12/16/2010 Edited to say that phones are still working, but I did have to replace the rechargeable batteries on one of them. The plus side to this is that they are easily replaceable; two Triple A (AAA), Nickle Metal Hydrides!

Panasonic DECT 6.0-Series Dual-Handset Cordless Phone System with Answering System (KX-TG1032S) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this phone about a week ago in order to replace a 2.4 panasonic that died -some numbers were not dialing and finally battery hookup broke off- In general I like the phone but it has some major things I don't like.
Pros: Easy to set up. You get 2 phones with 1 phone jack. Speakers are great! (unlike with my old phone people don't complain when I use them). You can hear answering machines messages from either remote set. Phonebook sharing. You can conference between phones and call each other (big hit with my kids).
Cons:
1. There is something wrong with the volume (I read complains about it in reviews in Circuit city and thought maybe person had hearing problem... but no, they were right). Let me explain: the volume goes up and down by itself for no good reason. One phone call you hear great and next one is really low so you need to adjust volume and it goes up and then down on its own again -sometimes during the same call while you are talking- .... You can live with it, you adjust volume but I don't particularly like playing with volume every other call! For me it is really a pain!
2. Answering machine base don't display the number of messages you have (it has no lcd screen!). No talking id or any other fancy stuff either.
3. When you play messages from answering machine the sound is a little boxy, robot like...not clear. This does not happen if you hear messages from the phones themselves.
In conclusion I would say this is an all right phone, I expected better... but it is also not very expensive and it has the latest technology. I guess now I know why some 5.8 panasonic phones (previous technology) were more expensive than this one... you get what you pay.

Uniden DECT 6.0 Silver Cordless Digital Answering System with Caller ID and Four Handsets (DECT1580-4) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have the DECT1580-3 version (3 handsets). My wife and I love it. The range and sound is much better than our 900Mhz and 2.4Ghz phones. Plus at 1.9Ghz these phones no longer interfere with WiFi.
Pros:
*Only one phone jack needed for all phones (great for Vontage or such)
*Great speakerphone really useful with dial-up "customer" service
*Can name each handset, so one can xfer/page by their name/location
*One phone book for all phones (or separate, if desired)
*Lighted keypad
*Number of messages counter on base
*New message light (LED) on phone
*Listen to recorded and screen live incoming messages from any phone
*Easy to add extra handsets as needed (like DWX207 Waterproof Handset)
Cons (all minor gripes):
*Single voice mail box
*No keypad/speakerphone on base
*No headset jacks
*Old style NiCd Batteries instead of better NiMh or Lion
*Base wall mount bracket not included, extra handsets not wall mountable
Overall I would strongly recommend this Uniden Dect6.0 phone.

Panasonic KX-TG4053B DECT 6.0 PLUS Expandable Digital Cordless Phone and Answering System with 3 Handsets & Range Extender Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this phone because I needed a phone that would give me better range than my panasonic 5.8gHz model without the interference with my computer equipment. I live in a pretty good sized house, ( 3 stories, 6000 sq. ft., lots of steel too). My 5.8 gHz model didn't quite cut it for range from one side of the house to the other. I really started seeing problems when they installed my wireless network for the house. I did some research and found out that the interference issue was common with 5.8 gHz and the wireless router because they operate on the same bandwidth and therefore can have some interference issues. As for the range, I was out of luck until I found this phone that has an included " range extender ". Set-up for the phone was very easy, ( 6 steps including " insert batteries and charge for 7 hours"). I put the range extender at about the distance where my 5.8 gHz started to fuzz out. This is easily installed as well. All you need is a power outlet, no phone jack. After the charging period, I tried the phone everywhere in the house with no issues. I can even go down to the lake to watch the kids with no issues. Also, from reading the directions, I noted that you can add one more range extender to increase your range even more. I think panasonic really got the idea right when they made this phone and included the range extender. I would have to say that my only disappointment is the handset display size and that it is not in color. If you are looking for a solid phone system with great range and no computer interference issues, you can't go wrong with this phone. Buy it! You won't be sorry.
