Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The KX-TG2584S gives you two phones in one. This 2.4 GHz GigaRange Extreme SST cordless phone with digital answering system includes a base unit as well as both corded and cordless handsets. The cordless handset comes with a wall-mountable charging cradle that can be used in a room without a phone jack. Up to 50 names and telephone numbers can be stored alphabetically and quickly accessed for dialing using the phone's navigation key.

If you subscribe to call waiting and caller ID, the phone's LCD displays 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. A call counter tracks the duration of your conversations. The digital answering machine offers 15 minutes of storage time.

Ordinary dual 2.4 GHz cordless phones transmit and receive signals at the same time within the 2.4 GHz band, causing noticeable interference when the signals cancel each other. To avoid this, these phones usually transmit and receive under restricted bandwidth, a condition that reduces their power and range. Panasonic's Digital Spread Spectrum (DSS) Time Division Duplex (TDD) technology enables this phone to use its full bandwidth for optimum power and range.

Panasonic's diversity antenna incorporates two omnidirectional antennas, which increase signal sensitivity and enhance sound quality while improving reception. Advanced error correction software helps maintain signal integrity at greater distances. The phone's digital duplex speakerphone circuitry helps reduce echo and dropout effects, which are common in conventional speakerphones.

Dual keypads allow you to make calls from the base, the handset, or a combination of both, even at the same time. A two-way intercom lets you communicate between the base unit and the handset.

Product Description

This Panasonic phone is like having two phones in one. The cordless handset has a remote charger that allows you to charge the handset in a room without a telephone jack. Use the corded handset or the base speakerphone to make calls. 2.4GHz Digital Spread

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible Cordless Phone, Even Worse Customer Service, January 8, 2003

This review is from: Panasonic KX-TG2584S 2.4 GHz Corded/Cordless Phone System (Office Product)

I purchased this phone on December 4th, 2002, and immediately had trouble with the "cordless" phone. I charged it for 26 hours before using it and on my first call - during the first 1 1/2 minutes - the battery died. I followed the manual instructions carefully, but continued to experience the same problem. I bought a new battery on the 11th and still had the same problem. I emailed Panasonic on Dec. 13th and received an automated reply, but as of January 8, 2003, no real reply. It's now too late to return the phone, so I'm just going to junk it and buy a similar - non-Panasonic - product.

This review is from: Panasonic KX-TG2584S 2.4 GHz Corded/Cordless Phone System (Office Product)

While Panasonic is consistently the most highly recommended cordless phone by electronics salespeople, this is my THIRD failure with Panasonic. While I have few problems with the corded wall mount unit, the handset has not held a charge for more than a 10 minute conversation after approximately 3 months old (after the store warrantee expired) and I am unable to say more than 'hello' on it now, before it dies out now. I have returned the phone once within the store warrantee and I have replaced the batteries twice in 2 years, which are hard to find and costly. Panasonic customer service has been neither helpful nor sympathetic to my problem. I am now researching a variety of less 'recommended' cordless phones...

2.0 out of 5 stars Lots Of Hits, But Some Bad Misses, January 15, 2003

This review is from: Panasonic KX-TG2584S 2.4 GHz Corded/Cordless Phone System (Office Product)

True this phone has lots of bells and whistles, but there are some glaring problems.

First, the outgoing message recording quality leaves a lot to be desired. It is so weak and tinny, callers don't recognize my voice. They think it's a wrong number. Next, the display brightness and contrast are too limited, making it difficult to read at an angle. You must be staring at it head on. Third, when dialing in from the outside and entering your code, there are no prompts for the system, other than playing messages. Not even one for deleting a message, going back one, skipping ahead, etc.. Unless you carry the 95 page instruction booklet around with you, you're helpless. And last, but not least, there are occasional bursts of low volume, high frequency noise on the line. Not enough to disrupt a conversation, but enough to be a nuisance.

Even though you get a lot with this system, given its relatively high price, it leaves too much to be desired.
