The Panasonic KX-TS620B is a reliable corded phone designed for users looking for a model that offers modern functionality while still providing basic usage during power outages. The KX-TS620B has a businesslike black casing, and is wall-mountable, allowing you to keep countertop space free from unnecessary clutter. The phone comes backed with a one-year limited warranty.

Always Know Who's Calling
The KX-TS620B is call waiting caller ID compatible (requires a subscription) and requires no batteries to operate. A three-line LCD screen provides access to the name and number of the person calling, along with the date and time of their call. You can scroll through the list of the 20 most recent calls, and redial any of them with the touch of a button.

Record Messages and Memos
A digital answering system is included, which offers up to 15 minutes of tapeless recording space. Each message receives a time/date stamp, and a simple series of buttons allows you to skip, delete or save each message. You can record memos to other household members as well.

Hands-free Operation
A headset jack is located on the base, and can accommodate a standard 2.5 mm headset (available separately); a speakerphone is also located on the base, supplying you with hands-free operation. A redial button lets you quickly dial the last outgoing number, while the flash button provides access to call waiting. Handset and ringer volume controls allow you to adjust levels to your liking.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb voice quality, January 5, 2007

So often with digital answerers you read reviews about poor voice quality with comments like "it sounds like people are talking underwater."

Not so with this hi-tech phone/digital answerer released by Panasonic in 2006. I ordered a KX-TS620B in a rush over holidays after my old-syle Panasonic phone/cassette answerer finally quit having 14 years of use.

My new digital answering system sounds every bit as good as tape, both with the outgoing and incoming messages. Panasonic uses enhanced digital voice technology with its higher-end phones and it truly makes a difference.

The only tradeoff with this unit is a mere 15 minutes of record time. That's not a big problem for me but it may not be ideal for someone who receives a lot of messages before getting a chance to review and erase. This can be done remotely from a touch-tone phone, however. All the other features with this phone/answerer are slick and easy-to-use.

If high digital voice quality is an important factor for you--this is the phone to buy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Panasonic is a leader in corded/cordless phones for a reason, July 31, 2007

This review is from: Panasonic KX-TS620B Integrated Corded Phone with All-Digital Answering System, Black (Office Product)

It used to be that I was the kind of person who didn't really care about what kind of phone I had, so long as it reliably worked. But after having a lot of problems with no-name or unreliable phone makers' products, I decided to spend a little more and buy a Panasonic telephone. Only thing was, I didn't know whether to go for a cordless or a corded phone; after much thought, I went with a corded phone for the following reasons: *security (no scan-happy people can listen in on your converstions), *quality (the audio doesn't begin to cut out due to electromagetic interference unlike cordless phones), and *user maintenance/cost of operation (the phone doesn't require any batteries by relying an an AC unit to power the caller ID and no risk of failing, leaking batteries, charging, etc.)

I asked around quite a few retail outlets and Panasonic had the best rep among the stores and it also had the biggest presence, which led me to price shop for the best corded Panasonic I reasonably wanted to pay for. Enter the KX-TS620B. It comes with a limited one year warranty, black color, AC unit, instruction manual, and pretty much is ready to go out of the box, but I highly recommend giving the manual a good couple of reads to take advantage of the useful features this unit has to offer.

This phone is no weaking in the features department. It has a 50-caller name & # phonebook, a 20-caller memory redial, 3-caller programmable direct dial, 15-minute digitally-intergrated answering service mode, remote code operation (you can call your phone remotely to check your messages), audio caller hold, speakerphone, desk and/or wall mounting, and automatic answering service (a kind gentleman's voice will leave a suitable message for your callers if you're not for it), among the standard telco features such as caller ID, call waiting, voice mail, etc.

After I got through the manual, I started saving important names and #s in the phone's 'phonebook' and using the time-saving memory redial for all outgoing calls. This phone will save you a *lot* of dialing for the fact that its IC memory stores all the incoming and outgoing calls. Essentially, once you've found the # you wish to call, pick up the handset and the phone dials the # for you. Any messages I got were easily retrieved, which makes me want to mention the audio. The voices come over so clearly and I didn't notice any real degradation in the quality, which can't be said for other phones.

As you can tell, I'm a big fan of this phone. My only gripe with it is the 'D-pad' button used for both the phonebook and callerlist. I found that when I wanted to enter the caller list, sometimes I'd instead be in the phonebook and vice versa. With a little persistence I mostly avoided this conflict, but it could have been avoided if Panasonic had molded four dividers into the faceplate a la the oldschool Nintendo gamepads. It's a minor thing and it won't affect the overall performance of the phone. However, but for this very little issue I would have rated the model a perfect five stars. It's good value for the money for sure.

2.0 out of 5 stars 3 minute messages and no battery backup, June 15, 2007

Although the product information says that it is 15 minute recording time -- that is for total of all messages at one time (including outgoing message). Each individual incoming message can be no longer than 3 minutes. When listening to messages remotely you have to hit 6 key strokes to delete a message. There is no battery backup, so whenever there is a power outage you have to reprogram everything.
