Have the base with 4 extra handsets. Great range - maintains coverage even where a previous 2.4Ghz set failed. Handsets are small but with great keypads and simple operation. Speakerphone works well and handset will stand unsupported on desk when using speakerphone - improving clarity. Only complaint is the LCD screen can be hard to read in certain lighting conditions. Smaller antenna on handset than the newer extended range handsets make them a better fit in the room.

Great add-on to the 1000N and 1050N bases. As small as a larger cell phone, belt clip is great to keep the phone on your hip while you use the headset. Range is great -- in the city/suburbs I can go a block or two away from my place and it still works fine. Only complaint is that you can not edit any names stored in memory (just the numbers!) so you have to delete the entry and then re-enter it.

ALSO -- the reason I went with this phone is because it does NOT interfere with 802.11b as some of the others, especially Panasonics, do (the Gigarange Extreme interferes).

I took a chance on this phone even after reading some less than complimentary reviews. I returned the phone for the following reasons:
- Volume is very low, even when set at maximum.
- Voice clarity is very poor. Sounds like a cell phone.
- The speakerphone cuts in and out so you end up holding it to your ear anyway.

We had two of these phones, and on one of them the buttons quit working (wouldn't register when pushed); but, it's compact, and otherwise works well. We then purchased several of them to put throughout the house because of the intercom feature (can call each other from different parts of our home) and the fact they're not bulky phones. There is good reception, and can be used outside.

Our system is nearly 4 years old & continues to serve our needs. Started w/ only base & 1 handset & have added maximum of 3 handsets total. Continue to explore built-in features that add value to the system - ie: Caller ID, Ringer Selection, Intercom, remote paging.

When teenagers leave the phone in some mysterious place around the house, it can be easily found! That's a huge plus. Smart feature!

It's a GREAT system in fact, I plan to find a set for my family out of state because it would be perfect for them.

The only down side is ... it has been discontinued by Panasonic.
The up side, I'm sure they have created an even better system, and batteries are still available. Thanks Panasonic!

Will I run out & upgrade? No way! In fact, if a portion of my system fails, I will likely try to repair it or replace it with like product rather than replace the entire system with something new.

I actually purchased this phone a few years ago when it cost a good bit more than it does now and would still reccomend it at teh original price. I moved from a 2 bedroom small condo into a 3000+ sqft house and still have amazing range. I will only caution you that the expandable handset is a must because the ringers aren't very loud and the speakerphone on the base isn't as clear as the new wave of speakerphones. However, the handsfree speaker option on teh actual handset souns just like you are talking on the phone, none of that echo "can you hear me now" effect.

Even though the Panasonic KX-TG1050N base phone has been around for years, we're getting an additional handset rather than ditch the base phone.
