 New Panasonic DECT 6.0 cordless KX-TG 6445T |

This new 2009 model of Panasonic's cordless DECT telephones lives up to its advertising. Sound very clear, battery life is long (my actual 1st day experience was 3-5 hr talking with 10+ in standby), and range is longer than my previous Motorola 5 GHZ model (good enough for a 2 story house plus a basement). The model includes cordless handsets, answering machine, and caller ID, as well as voice prompts of incoming caller ID calls. As a plus, the handsets use AAA Ni-MH batteries so easily purchased when they need replacing. My old Motorola used the typical specialized phone Ni-Cd batteries (with that funny connector), that lasted less than a year and a high cost to replace.
Highly recommend this model. The KX-TG 643x and 644x series are all the same except for the number of handsets that come in the package and whether the base station has its own dial capability. This model allows a max of 6 handsets (the 6445 cmes with 5 handsets-so you can purchase one more if needed KX-TGA 641T).
The caller ID list and address book is centralized, so updating updates the file on the base set. My old Motorola had an address book in each handset plus a shared in the base unit. The voice mail box default announcement is a man's voice-would prefer a woman's voice, but you can also record your own announcement
Lastly, the handsets are small(6inch by 1.5 in wide). Not a problem for me but might surprise others. Panasonic sells many DECT 6.0 cordless phones, so do your search carefully. I bought this model because the 64xx model series is new in 2009, plus it has a base station that you can also dial from giving you a 7th telephone set if needed. |

In the past, I have had problems with almost every set of wireless phones I bought for my house. The signal constantly dropped in and out. However, after having had success with another set of phones that used DECT6.0 technology, I decided to try these. They've been perfect--there hasn't been a single instance on any call where the signal dropped out.
Also, Panasonic's talking caller ID is great. When a call comes in, all the phones announce who the caller is, so if the call is from someone you don't want to talk to (e.g., a solicitor), you don't even have to get out of your chair to know not to answer it. How's that for lazy? |

| Our old phone system was giving up the ghost so I looked for a phone system that would get good reception throughout our house and not interfere with other wireless set ups. I have had no problems with the wireless internet and the phone system to date. I even get reception at the bottom of my 3 story house. I ordered the extra handset and now there is a better chance that you will find a reciever on the house level your on when the phone rings too. I can even walk anywhere on my 1/2 acre and get reception. |

After lots of research into cordless phones, reading lots of reviews and ratings, I decided on this phone setup for our sprawling ranch home and it is a perfect match for our needs.
It does not interfere with our wireless internet or microwave, all of the handsets have a perfect connection to the base station no matter how far from it they are in our house, the sound quality of the calls is very good. The large LCD displays and large lighted buttons make it very easy to use even in the dark. I love how all the handsets are networked so the programming made to one is instantly set in all of them. The phones are very simple to set up for immediate use, but if you're a gadget geek like me and enjoy tweaking and exploring the full functionality of all the features, there is a lot to play with on these phones. Call blocking, sleep mode, alarm and intercom are some of my favorite features. I also like how you can program the phone to dial your voicemail retrieval number including password so you can easily retrieve voicemails without punching in a bunch of numbers every time. You can also program the phone to do the same thing with other phone numbers that involve entering digits and pausing, as when navigating through an automated call system. All those numbers and pauses can be programmed in on a speed-dial type setup.
I've been through several sets of these types of linked phones before, and have always had a problem with interference, or losing connection to the base station, or even the stupid proprietary batteries that some of them require. This phone setup seems to have solved all of my previous problems, and I think it is worth every penny I spent. |
Meets My Needs and Then Some

This phone set more than exceeds my expectations and I would highly recommend it to others. The price was reasonable and I have not had any problems with the answering machine or the handsets.
It is so nice to be able to locate a handset and its base unit in a room without regard to whether or not there is a phone jack nearby. All you need is an electrical outlet to plug in the base unit.
One very nice feature is the ability to block any telemarketing calls. As soon as I get one of these calls, I add the number to the list of blocked callers. Next time they call, the phone rings once before the call is ended. It would have been nice to have not received even one ring, but this is a minor point.
Another helpful feature is the ability to designate a number in your phone list to ring with a distinctive tone. There are several choices you can select from. So, for example, you could designate a particular ring just for family members. Or, give different people different ring tones. Additionally, phone calls from numbers in your phone list will display with the person's name on the handsets.
All-in-all, I don't see how you can go wrong with this phone set. |
