Product Description

Amazon.com

The Panasonic KX-TG5673B cordless phone system utilizes 5.8 GHz Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum technology, meaning that it operates on a different wavelength with much less traffic than the 2.4 GHz technology while maintaining the great security, incredible clarity and long range. Have a wireless computer network, or thinking about getting one? 5.8 GHz technology will not interfere with wireless networks such as 802.11b or 802.11g WiFi.

All-Digital Answering System
This phone system is equipped with an all-digital answering system for quick, easy retrieval of crystal-clear messages. Message operation has never been easier, with up to 21 minutes of recording time, plus such features as pre-recorded outgoing message, remote operation, Tollsaver, and skip-and-repeat. And don't worry about losing your messages when the power goes out-they're stored in flash memory so they're unaffected by power failure or interruptions.

Hear Who's Calling Without Getting Up
With Talking Caller ID, you don't have to get up to see who's calling-the phone will tell you. Panasonic cordless phones are the only cordless phones to incorporate true text-to-speech technology used in conjunction with your Caller ID service. There's no need for preprogramming or any fancy setup-as long as you have Caller ID service (requires subscription with local telephone company), just plug-and-play! Now you won't be interrupted by strange calls when you're washing the dishes, eating dinner or just watching TV. Let the phone tell you who's calling, so you can decide if you want to answer it or not.

Put the Phone Down While You Talk
When you've been on hold for ten minutes, do you really need to hold the phone? Not with the handset speakerphone. Just listen along, and press a button or pick up when it's convenient. You'll think up other great uses, like letting Grandma and Grandpa listen to their new grandchild at the same time, painting your nails as you talk to your best friend, or just being able to set the phone down while you talk.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not great, but best of the bunch, September 26, 2006
This review is from: Panasonic KX-TG5673B 5.8 GHz FHSS GigaRange Digital Cordless Telephone with Three Handsets (Office Product)
I was having trouble with my old Panasonic 2.4 GHz interfering with my WiFi, so I needed to upgrade to something using 5.8 GHz. Past experience has shown me that there is a big difference between the phone brands not just in clarity, range, etc. but in phone shape and comfort against the ear as well. I purchased from Costco three different multiple-phone 5.8 GHz sets to try-out: The Panasonic KX-TG5673 (3 phones and most expensive), Uniden TRU 8885-3HS (3 phones, mid-priced) and the VTech mi6896 (4 phones and the cheapest of the bunch).

What I found right away from reading other Amazon reviews and the fine print is that the V-tech uses both 5.8 & 2.4 GHz, so even though I liked the shape and feel of the phones, and the price for four handsets, due to my WiFi interference restrictions, that phone was out of the competition.

I liked the look, feel and buttons on the Uniden best, and it seemed to deliver the clearest sound. However, this handset comes with an integrated antenna, and whenever I put my hand around the top of the phone (as its a small handset, its very difficult not to), or rested the phone between my ear and shoulder, the reception became spotty. Even in unobstructed use, the reception was sometimes poor in the room of my house furthest from the base. As much as I liked this phone and its included decent-quality headset, it was out of the competition due to the reception issues.

The Panasonic phone, although, as one other reviewer noted, is somewhat ugly with the "Voice Enhancer" graphics, performs adequately. The max. volume seem a little low, and the voice tone a little soft, and the buttons not as easy to use with my big hands, but it has an external antenna and I have had no instances of spotty reception. The "Slow-Talk" and "3-color indicator" features seems somewhat gimmicky and I haven't had a need to try them yet. The set did not come with belt-clips for the handsets or a headset accessory, which is disappointing to me. The voice recorder on the answering machine seems a bit tinny as compared to the Uniden, but again, adequate.

Since upgrading to the 5.8 GHz, I haven't had any more dropped calls. My previous Panasonic phones have held-up well despite lots of abuse.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice phone, August 10, 2006
This review is from: Panasonic KX-TG5673B 5.8 GHz FHSS GigaRange Digital Cordless Telephone with Three Handsets (Office Product)
This is a very nice phone, much better than the other cordless phones I've owned. The call log and redial capability, as well as size, flashing light antenna, and ringer capabilities is very helpful. Easy to use, and feature filled.

Regarding Caller ID only showing after 2 rings, it's a limitation of caller ID, not the phone. Caller ID information doesn't get transmitted until after the 1st ring, so no phone will show caller ID info until it rings at least once.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good sound quality, good battery life, August 29, 2006
By 
This review is from: Panasonic KX-TG5673B 5.8 GHz FHSS GigaRange Digital Cordless Telephone with Three Handsets (Office Product)
Sound quality is very good, and I haven't run out of battery so far. The base is somewhat smaller than what I expected from the pictures. The handsets are well designed; on my previous phone it happened that the "mute" function became engaged when I kept the phone between my head and my shoulders - this did not happen with these so far. Speakerphone on the base is a nice feature and makes the phone usable even during power outages. Answering machine works well. Easy to copy phonebook entries between phones.
