5.0 out of 5 stars Vonage and this phone, April 4, 2005

This phone is a great match to Vonage. The Voice message indicator light works (needs to be turned on, its off by default on the handsets, uses more battery). The Screen will also display that you have a voicemail waiting. As for the function of the phone, its great, it has not interfered with anything else in my house and is a good feel on the ear. All in all I recommend this phone for use with Voicemail setups, and its good for Vonage.

Excellent clarity, doesn't interfere with or receive interference from my wi-fi network, and best of all you can synchronize the phone book between handsets. The only drawbacks I've found are that the only keys that illuminate are the numbers (the talk/off/speakerphone/mute don't light up), and the system can't be expanded to more handsets.

This review is from: Panasonic KX-TG5422M 5.8 GHz DSS Cordless Phone with Dual Handsets (Office Product)

Overall a good phone. I have the base in my backyard office and the extension in the house. Because of the materials and construction style of my home, it's difficult to get a signal to go anywhere. I had to get high-powered industrial wireless to be able to use a single connection for the office and reach part of the home, yet the extension in the house seems to have better reception than the wireless. Pretty impressive. The UI (user interface) has some issues, although not as many as other brands (Uniden is the worst). The main problem is that even with caller ID the screen is too small to display the telephone number AND name of the caller. You need to press special buttons and scroll down to see who is calling if you don't happen to recognize the telephone number. I was disappointed; I purchased this phone because my old Panasonic was the best phone I've ever had - the UI was fantastic for seeing who was calling, returning calls, and the other typical functions. In the interim I purchased a number of different brands of wireless phones for my office and for additional set within the house; unfortunately none of them could compare to the Panasonic's great UI and sound quality. So after a a power surge killed the old Panasonic, I decided to splurge on a 5.8 GHz Panasonice replacement to avoid interference with my wireless network. It's a great phone, but not as good as its predecessor.
