Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Panasonic KXTG2560 2.4 GHz DSS Cordless Phone with Caller ID & Dual Keypad (Silver)

Customer Review: Not bad on the ergonomics or features
Summary: 5 Stars

This phone is typically Panasonic in that it is built quite SOLID and carries on with the rubberized grip idea which extends to their new ruggedized cellphone and also a line of laptops! It operates without a hitch and is good looking to boot.

Range was not a problem for me although I live in a very densely populated area, you have to watch where you place the base unit, can't have metallic or concrete obstacles.

On the minus side, the setup instructions are also typically Panasonic as well (sometimes ambiguous and disorganized, but that is expected). They're alone among most other manufacturers with this 'gadgety' philosophy (in contrast with mfr's like SONY) and have been that way with their telephony products for the last fifteen years -- take it any way you like.

I have at least a couple of other friends using this product since it came out and they report no problems whatsoever. The transmit/receive circuitry is supposedly pretty cutting edge, a lot of other manufacturers skimp on this area. I am sold on Panasonic cordless phones -- they are bulletproof, even the cheap ones. And yes, I've tried them all.

Also this is the first time I've paid $200 for a phone/answerer and I don't regret it. In LA this phone was so popular initially that I had a hard time finding it .

One word of advice, DO NOT get the rubber fascia or grips soaked in anything other than water. I tried cleaning it with Formula 409 and the rubber surface melted a bit and messed up the smooth plastic around it.

Description of Panasonic KXTG2560 2.4 GHz DSS Cordless Phone with Caller ID & Dual Keypad (Silver)

Operating on two different bands, 2.4 GHz on the base and 900 MHz on the handset, the KXTG2560S provides superior sound quality and lack of echo over a far greater range than its predecessors. In addition, frequency hopping helps this unit resist interference from devices sharing similar bands, such as microwaves. Enhanced security is another useful benefit. With 2.4 GHz of bandwidth, the KXTG2560S changes frequencies constantly, making conversations difficult to monitor and eavesdropping unlikely.

This model comes equipped with a multifunction LCD panel for caller ID, and displays the current caller's name and number while storing up to 50 entries. The Panasonic KXTG2560S also comes with a speed dial that stores up to 15 entries.

The digital speakerphone provides a convenient calling option with reduced echo and interference. Two-way paging lets you page the handset from the base unit (and vice versa), allowing for intercom communication from two rooms. Dual handset/base keypads enable dialing from either the base or handset, or both. Handset features include: flash, redial, hold, switchable tone, and adjustable ringer. The base sports an indicator light that alerts you to messages left on a voice mail subscription service.

The Panasonic KXTG2560S comes with two antennas for increased reliability, cordless access to most features wherever you are, eight hours of talk time, a NiMH battery that is fully rechargeable in seven hours, and a one-year parts- and-labor warranty.
