They also provide for Intercom between handsets and Phonebook Sharing.

3.0 out of 5 stars ok phones .has some cool features but also big drawbacks, September 28, 2007

This review is from: Panasonic DECT 6.0-Series Dual-Handset Cordless Phone System with Answering System (KX-TG1032S) (Office Product)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best DECT6.0; renders 5.8gHz obsolete!, April 14, 2007

This review is from: Panasonic DECT 6.0-Series Dual-Handset Cordless Phone System with Answering System (KX-TG1032S) (Office Product)

We'd looked long and hard at the latest 5.8gHz Unidens (TRU9300 and TRU9400) and Panasonic (6000 series) and hadn't been exactly overwhelmed by the range and voice quality. Battery life was a joke.

The we heard about the new Panasonic DECT 6.0 phones. In a word: WOW! Dramatically better range, sound quality, and rated talk time than any of the 5.8ghz phones. Uses 2 ordinary AAA NiMH's. Plus the features of the DECT 6.0 standard itself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lot more than specifications tell you, April 29, 2007

I have just used this for 3 days now. Very happy. The specifications do little justice to this phone. 1. This unit has a speakerphone on both handsets. I thought there would be just one on the base fixed unit. 2. Unlike the comparable Uniden model, this has a headset jack. 3. The buttons are big and easy to dial.

No wireless router interference. Overall very happy so far. Much more than I expected.
