Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The Panasonic DECT 6.0 Expandable Digital Cordless Answering System operates in the 1.9GHz frequency range, which means this phone will not conflict with other wireless devices such as computer routers, wireless keyboards, microwave ovens, and other common household devices. With DECT 6.0 (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) technology, you can move freely around your home with long range and amazingly clear sound. It also assures greater protection against eavesdropping for all your calls. This phone system allows you to program each handset to ring--or not--at your discretion. Before going to sleep, simply set the bedside handset to "night mode" so that it won't ring in your bedroom. In the meantime, the handset in the den will still ring when that important call comes in without disturbing the person who's sleeping. This phone system also features text-to-speech technology, which announces the Caller ID information between rings. The system also boasts a talking alarm clock that will tell you when it's time for lunch, a 50-entry digital phone book, a digital answering machine, multilingual support (English and Spanish) and a talking battery alert that politely tells you when your battery is low with a "please charge phone" reminder. Each handset comes with a battery that supports five hours of talk time and 11 days of standby time, and the system can be expanded to up to six handsets.

What's in the Box
Three Panasonic DECT 6.0 phones, base, two cradles, and power supplies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent phone(s), May 14, 2008

This review is from: Panasonic KX-TG9333T DECT 6.0 Cordless Phone (Electronics)

I bought this set to replace one 900 MHz and two 2.4 GHz phones that we've had for a while. Setup was really easy, you can pretty much figure out everything going through the different menus yourself. I was concerned about the call quality of the extra handsets since they don't use their own phone jack, but the performance is excellent. The 2.4 phone we used to have in the kitchen couldn't be used if the microwave was on, and it would knock computers off the wireless network once in a while. Now, absolutely no interference at all! The other 2.4 that was upstairs had terrible range, and always had a clicking sound I attributed to interference with the Xbox 360 2.4 GHz wireless. Once again, these new phones have absolutely no interference and great range. I wish now I got the 4 or even 5 handset package to stick one in the garage and other places in the house.

Likes:

- Voice quality when not set at the highest volume

- You can set the answering machine to answer after more than 4 rings, unlike many others who max out at 4 and you can never get to in time

- The talking caller id when used with a high answering machine ring setting (5 or 7) really helps stop running through the house to check who's calling when you don't really want to, or can't easily, stop what you're doing.

- The backlight on the handset screens is bright and makes the text really easy to read.

Dislikes:

- Slight hissing when ear piece volume is maxed. But med volume seems just fine and there's no hiss.

- The answering machine doesn't show a number of how many messages you have, it's just a flashing red light on the play button.

- After listening to the message(s) and not deleting them, the flashing light goes away but you have no other indication that there's a message. So if it's a message you want to save, for someone else to listen to for example, unless you remember or write it down somewhere, it's easy to forget about it.

Overall though, a great phone and a HUGE upgrade from our previous phones. Recommended.

1.0 out of 5 stars Avoid This Model! Serious Problem!, June 1, 2009

This review is from: Panasonic KX-TG9333T DECT 6.0 Cordless Phone (Electronics)

I originally purchased this system in January of this year. Within the first week I discovered the call dropping of incoming calls problem. It is an intermittent problem but still very serious. On an incoming call I would answer, hear the other party and then the call would drop, the screen would go blank. If I tried to pick up the call again by pressing the talk button an error message would be displayed. "No Link To Base Check AC Connection"

I called their tech support dept and was told to remove the batteries and recharge the phones. This "trouble shooting" procedure did not solve the problem.

On the positive side the voice quality on both ends is excellent and the speakerphone is equally high quality. Obviously, there is a glitch in the design of this phone.

When the trouble shooting steps failed to resolve the problem, I notified Panasonic and they sent me out a refurbished replacement. Same problem. I notified them again. They sent out a brand new replacement, same problem.

I called them this morning and they offered to upgrade me to the KX TG 6433. I believe this may be a "fixed" version of the same model. I will gladly give this a try. I might also suggest for anyone needing to exchange these through Panasonic rather than Amazon that you give Panasonic a credit card and and ask them to send the replacement BEFORE you send in your defective unit. Just be sure you send in your old unit within the allowed time to avoid your credit card being charged.

Like Jayk's, another reviewer here on Amazon, I've been a loyal Panasonic telephone customer for quite some time, in my case since the late 70's. They have always had a superior product and stood behind their products. I'm definitely willing to give them a chance to resolve the problems. When they get it right their products are #1. I have a background in the interconnect business so I'm very well aware of what's available on the market.

UPDATE 1/24/10: After over 6 months the KX TG 6433 has been absolutely flawless. This new system is exactly what I wanted. Excellent range, sound quality and feature set. Panasonic has restored my faith in their excellent phones. Every manufacturer hits a foul ball from time to time. Evidently the 9333 was their foul ball. I am very surprised to see that Amazon is still selling the KX TG 9333T as every single set (3 total) all suffered from the same problem.

5.0 out of 5 stars So Easy I Could Set It Up Out the Box, August 10, 2008

This review is from: Panasonic KX-TG9333T DECT 6.0 Cordless Phone (Electronics)

I agonized about spending $100; money well spent though. Without barely looking at the instructions, I was effortlessly able to enter all the phone numbers in the phone book. This is ideal since first I am a man, and I don't read instructions. Secondly, it seems when I want to say add a phone number, I usually can't find the instructional manual when I need it. The phone numbers were automatically updated in all handsets at once, great. I set up the answering machine the same. I was able to assign a different ring tone so we know when our daughter calls. We are old, and this technology learning curve is a killer at times. This is a friendly system. I like the flashing answering machine light that flashes on all handsets when there is a message; and you can access that message from any handset. We gave up checking our old answering machine since we rarely got messages. Then when I did check, I found out the missed call was days ago. It has lots of other options that I doubt we will use, but some will find really handy. Both my wife and I like the nice big, bright display, and the buttons are easy to mash without hitting the wrong one accidentally. Life is suppose to be this easy when making a call.
