Amazon.com Product Description
Offering clear connections, excellent range, and a minimum of static, the Panasonic KXTG2553 gives you plenty of room to roam while on the phone. The 2.4 GHz operation provides far more power than older 900 Hz models, and Panasonic's Digital Spectrum Spreading technology makes your calls less subject to eavesdropping by automatically shifting frequencies every second.
The handset has an attached belt clip, giving you the option of attaching a headset for comfortable hands-free operation. A three-line lighted LCD displays up to 50 entries for both caller ID and a custom phone directory. You can expect as many as 4.5 hours of talk time before needing to recharge the battery. Panasonic includes a one-year warranty on parts and service.
From the Manufacturer
With clear sound, superb range and security, cordless phones with digital spread-spectrum technology such as the Panasonic KXTG-2553 have a greater output power, and thus greater range, than other cordless phones. In addition, this 2.4 GHz GigaRange phone features advanced error-correction software that helps maintain signal integrity at greater distances for high-quality sound.
As the indoor performance of 2.4 GHz cordless phones can be compromised by the fact that 2.4 GHz signals tend to bounce off solid objects, affecting reception quality, Panasonic has introduced the diversity antenna system. This feature improves indoor reception by using two omnidirectional antennas, which offer increased signal sensitivity and enhanced sound quality.
The handset LCD can display the name and number of incoming callers even if you're on another call. Up to 50 names and numbers can be stored in memory for easy retrieval and direct callback. If you subscribe to voice-mail service from your phone company, a light on the phone will illuminate when you have new messages in your mailbox.
Other convenient features on the KXTG-2553 include one-touch dialing capability, 10-preset speed dialing, selectable handset volume and ringer loudness, a lighted handset keypad, and more.

Overall An Excellent Buy,
By "sueandj" (Long Island, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Panasonic KX-TG2553S 2.4 GHz DSS Cordless Phone with Caller ID (Silver) (Office Product)
I have tried several 2.4 GHz phones from other vendors, but this one is the best I have found so far. It provides excellent range and sound quality. The only thing I don't like is the short battery life. The talk-time is only around 4 hours and when in stand-by mode away from the base, the battery life is not much better. I usually need to recharge the battery every day. Other than that an excellent buy.P.S. The 900 Mhz Digital Spread Spectrum models are just as good, and cheaper...didn't notice a difference in respect to range and sound quality.

Didn't last like it should have,
By "flyfishinglady" (Troy, MT USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Panasonic KX-TG2553B 2.4GHz DSS Cordless Phone with Caller ID (Black) (Office Product)
We had this phone for a year and used it a LOT. At first it had great distance and clarity, but it soon got worse and worse and the battery life got shorter and shorter. We both work from home and need a clear line, so had to buy a different phone to keep working. For what we paid for this phone, we expected a lot better durability. Also, I agree with the other reviews that complain about the number of "keystrokes" you have to go through to redial or dial a number in memory. Very cumbersome. I believe there are much better models out there for less money.

A Review After Two Years of Everyday Family Use,
By
This review is from: Panasonic KX-TG2553B 2.4GHz DSS Cordless Phone with Caller ID (Black) (Office Product)
We've owned the Panasonic KX-TG2553B 2.4GHz DSS Cordless Phone with Caller ID (Black) for two years. The phone has just enough useful features to make it a good choice for home / small business equipment. It has Caller ID (you need to subscribe, of course), redial, memory of calls received, a "phone book directory" for frequently called numbers, volume control, and the usual features. It also has some features I don't use regularly and forget. One feature it also has and I use ALOT is the hanset finder. You press a button on the base and the handset actually beeps long enough to locate the handset. Some brands tend to beep 5 or 6 times and then stop. We have a phone company messaging service, so didn't want a phone / answering machine combination. Most phones on the market seem to have too FEW OR too MANY features. The Panasonic seemed to be as close to perfect in that regard as we could find. The base takes up little room on our bedroom chest of drawers. The base itself doesn't ring so it is not a nuisance to put in the bedroom. The antenna on the base both pivot for better reception. After two years I can attest that the whole phone is quite durable. The handset has logically placed rubber "bump" pads (on edges and corners) to lessen damage from being dropped The handset is small and convenient to carry around. But also tends to get misplaced (at least in our house). The read out for incoming calls is backlit and in SOME low lighting situations, very hard to read. That could be somewhat caused by my eyesight, my wife doesn't seem to have a problem. There is a toggle button to navigate through various functions and the menu is convenient and LOGICAL. The number buttons are lit when in use and easy to see and use. The "redial" button is very small, located near the bottom right of the face of the handset. The antenna on the handset is fixed and quite durable, but seems to have attracted attention as a chew toy from either our son (when he was of teething age), or a pet. During the two years we've used the phone, we've noticed variable amounts of reception interference. But not any more than several other brands of cordless phones. We have owned and used the product at two different locations (homes) with lots of electronic equipment. The one that has caused the most reception problems has been a electronically controlled ceiling fan in the living room. We have to turn the fan off to use the phone or leave the room. I do suggest experimenting with placing the base in different locations for best reception. It has made a difference. It may speak well (pardon the pun) of the Panasonic that it is still in use while the other brands are gone and been replaced. We still have the original battery pack in our phone a talk time has definitely decreased between recharging. The display holds any calls that have come in and makes the handset lights blink, which drains the battery quickly. We checked quite a few brands a liked the Panasonic KX-TG2553B 2.4GHz DSS Cordless Phone with Caller ID (Black). John Row 2115|R1TIKIEKXG6ZTX;2115|R1RW6DU09QG1T6;2115|R2I3Y8VXIGGHEK;
