Product Description

Color: black

From the Manufacturer

The KX-TGA271B is a cordless handset for use with Panasonic's KX-TG2700S, KX-TG2720S, KX-TG2730S, or KX-TG2740S expandable cordless phone systems. The phone uses 2.4 GHz frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) technology so that multiple handsets can be used with reduced cross-talk or eavesdropping, since the FHSS technology randomly changes frequencies several times per second.

The unit has a digital-duplex speakerphone on the back of the handset for convenient, high-quality, hands-free conversations. Using call waiting/caller ID (with paid service from your phone company), the handset's LCD will display the name and number of incoming callers even when you're on another call. It also saves up to 50 incoming calls for easy retrieval and direct callback.

A four-line backlit LCD shows call status, programming options, directory items, and up to three lines of caller ID information, so there's no need for scrolling. Backlighting greatly aids visibility especially in low light areas.

With four-way conferencing you can conference in one outside line on up to four other handsets simultaneously. Use the intercom function to listen to what's going on in any room that has a handset, and from the base unit or a handset, you can call any other extension in the system.

Personalize your ring tone with any of six selectable rings to alert you when there is an incoming call. Using the provided headset jack and belt clip, you can also connect an optional headset to the standard 2.5 mm jack for hands-free conversations.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Cordless Phone, March 30, 2004

This review is from: Panasonic KX-TGA271W 2.4 GHz Accessory Handset for KX-TG2700-Series Expandable Phones (White) (Office Product)

The people writing bad reviews for all the Panasonic Cordless phones must have a different colored phone. If you would read the details on each of the extension phones, for some reason the White Phone has a different type battery than the silver, violet, or black. It has an NiMH battery that can be charged without running down. The others have a NiCAD battery of which I can't figure out why. It doesn't make since to have one you have to run completely down. You should have full time usage of the cordless phone. I never leaave my phone off the charger for a long time. It's always back in the charger by at least bedtime. I love the phones except for that. I don't know panasonic was thinking about. They should make all the other ones good by supplying a NiMH battery and a new charger.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, But I Still Want Better, May 8, 2003

This review is from: Panasonic KX-TGA271W 2.4 GHz Accessory Handset for KX-TG2700-Series Expandable Phones (White) (Office Product)

A nice system overall, but not nearly perfect. We purchased a set of these to replace our burnt out Siemens Gigaset 2402 system. While we were happy to have something that worked (the Siemens system had died a slow death over about a year and ultimately became unusable after a little over two years of use) the features and design of this system leave much to be desired. Numerous minor inconveniences and awkwardnesses make these phones less than they could be--nothing major, and perhaps only noticeable when compared with the excellently designed Siemens phones (really nothing more than the difference between Japanese and German design).

Two features stand out in comparison with our retired Siemens phones, one negative and one positive. On the positive side, these phones support detection of voice messages on an existing message system, so that it is easy to see from any handset whether there are unplayed messages on either line. On the negative side, the system does not support handset naming. We imagined this would be a minor inconvenience when we bought the phones, but it has proved to be a major drawback: there's simply no way to get the entire family to learn what number goes with what phone. When we had the Siemens system, which supports handset naming, the we had a working intercom system (not to mention convenient transfers of calls); now we're back to shouting.
