Product Description

The Panasonic KX-TG6054B 5.8 GHz Digital Cordless System with four Handsets is a great addition to any home or office.

The Phone That Talks
When a call comes in, this phone doesn't just let you see who's calling, it actually tells you who's calling with Talking Caller ID^1,2. Using text-to-speech technology, the caller's name is announced between rings if name/number Caller ID¹ information is available.

Can You Repeat That?
With SlowTalk message playback, you'll never miss important information again. You can slow down the playback speed of recorded messages by 30 percent at the touch of a button. And with this system's all-digital answering system, those messages will already be crystal clear and easy to retrieve, with up to 18 minutes of recording time.

Voices Come Through Loud and Clear
By simulating a band signal above and below the normal bandwidth limitations, Voice Enhancer Technology helps clarify and improve sound reception creating a natural-sounding voice that is easy to hear and understand.

Turn the Ringer Off...
Don't miss important calls when the ringer is off. The Light-Up Indicator at the base of the antenna will flash quickly to show that you have an incoming call, and it will flash slowly to let you know you have a new message. You can also choose up to three different light-up indicator colors to link to your pre-programmed phonebook data. Light-Up ID^1,3 requires corresponding Caller ID information to be received from an incoming call.

...Or Keep the Ringer On
With Ringer ID¹, you can choose from a downloaded or selectable ringer to link to your pre-programmed phonebook data, which also requires corresponding Caller ID information to be received from an incoming call.

Let the Kids Join the Conversation
With a Digital Duplex Speakerphone on the back of each handset, you can enjoy convenient, high-quality, hands-free conversations from any room in the house. So let the kids join in on the conversation with Grandma and Grandpa, or paint your nails while you chat with your best friend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Great Telephone System from Panasonic!, July 27, 2007

This review is from: Panasonic KX-TG6054B 5.8 GHz FHSS Expandable Digital Cordless Phone System with 4 Handsets (Office Product)

I have been a loyal Panasonic cordless telephone customer for many years now. I am always impressed with the stylish look, awesome reception, useful and fun features, durability and reasonable cost of Panasonic cordless telephones. Even back in the days of 900 MHz cordless phones, Panasonic always seemed to offer the most features and best quality for the money. Well the KX-TG6054B does not dissapoint in the least bit!

To be honest I was a little concerned with the new design, which does away with the traditional antenna "nub" that Panasonic is known for. I was afraid that the lack of this antenna would affect reception and limit distance I could travel with the phone from the base. Well I am happy to say that I was wrong. My wife can walk several houses down the street (city street mind you, were houses are not very far apart) and still receive calls on the new cordless phone. Reception is flawless, with no static, and no dropout sound. The tonal quality of the sound from each receiver is very good. We don't particularly care much for the "Voice Enhancer Technology" as it seems to make the sound a bit artificial. Still I can see where some may like it, as it increases volume and clarity of sound when speaking with a distant (soft spoken) sounding caller. The backlit LCD display is big and clear, even easy to read in moderate sunlight. I will not go into all of the features of this phone, as the list is quite extensive. However, I would like to note that the talking caller ID, which may seem a bit silly to some at first, is really a handy feature that we have grown to love. The text to speech technology in this phone leaves a little to be desired, but you get used to it after awhile and you can always make out who it is that is calling. It pronounces words exactly as they are spelled, for the most part, so a last name like Scholten is pronounced "Sholten". As I said, you get used to it. =o)

My only dissapointment with this phone is the lack of backlit keypads. I specifically chose this model, after doing a bit of research on the Panasonic website, because it was claimed to have backlit keys. I purchased two sets of these phones (one for us and one for a neighbor friend) and I can definately tell you that the claim of backlit keys is false. It may not seem like a big deal to most people, but if you want a phone that you can see the keypad in the dark, while trying to dial, then this becomes an issue of frustration. At least the LCD display is backlit so that you can see when you have mashed down the wrong digits while trying to dial a phone number. I also miss an included belt clip for the telephone handsets, which Panasonic had always provided for models in the past. If you like to use a heaset with your phone, as my wife often does while running her home daycare business, then you find that a belt clip is a needed accessory for clipping the phone to your belt or pants pocket. Sure the phones are small enough that you could probably cram it into your pocket, but then you would surely find that buttons would be pushed when inserting the phone and/or when walking around with it in the pocket.

I also want to note that the 5.8 GHz Panaonic phones will not win any awards for longest battery life; at least when it comes to talk time. The best we can get out of a full charge is about 5 hours of talk time. Still, with 4 handsets at your disposal you can certainly keep enough of them charged to hand off a call to another handset when the low battery alert warns you that you are on borrowed time. Several other manufacturers have managed to squeeze out far more talk time on their 5.8 GHz phones so I don't know why Panasonic always seems to come up weak in this category. However, if you are looking for a cordless phone that will impress you with its long battery life then you should consider one of the Panasonic Dect 6.0 models. They claim to last up to 17 hours of talk time on a single charge. That is simply amazing to me! My next choice of cordless phone may just be a Panasonic Dect 6.0 system.

Overall I would highly recommend the Panasonic KX-TG6054B. Amazon has a great price on this system, which includes not two, not three, but FOUR cordless handsets. You will not be dissapointed with the sound quality and plethora of features of this system. Unless Panasonic decides to cut corners and begins producing far less impressive cordless phones in the future, I will remain a very loyal customer.

This review is from: Panasonic KX-TG6054B 5.8 GHz FHSS Expandable Digital Cordless Phone System with 4 Handsets (Office Product)

pros-
*Love the price 125,00
*they don't need to be reset again after power loss
*always love the speaker phone.
cons-
*I don't like the locator/intercom in this model. It calls all the phones the same time e the base rings together making it very difficult to find the handset.
Otherwise is a great phone.
My old KXTG-2432 was a much better phone (perfect) the only problem was that I needed a 4 handsets now and they were way too expensive.

5.0 out of 5 stars Multiple phones, July 16, 2007

With the advent of the cable modem, it's often difficult to get phones hooked up in every room, and these phones make that easy. As opposed to other brands which I ahve tried, these come already registered to the base. Also, they function far more similarly to the cell phones we are already used to. Scrolling redial, exporting address books to other handsets, built-in speakerphones, and even a bizarre "slow" feature that slightly slows down the voice of a live call - I guess handy for getting directions, although I haven't done more than try it to see what it sounds like. Overall, if you need multiple phones and only have one jack, this is a great solution.
