Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Need more phones? This cordless station (with corded handset) is designed for use with Panasonic's KX-TG2000B or KX-TG4000B phone systems. By utilizing 94 autoscan channels, digital spread spectrum technology, and the 2.4 GHz frequency, the KX-TGA420B provides clearer reception and greater range than older phones operating on a 900 MHz band. A 30 name-and-number caller ID memory lets you easily view a list of incoming calls, while the speed dial feature lets you store and quickly call 16 of the most frequently dialed numbers. Three-way conferencing allows you to connect with two outside calls, while four separate lines allow for multiple users or a high volume of incoming calls. With the intercom feature, you can easily communicate with other users on your system, while the integrated speakerphone and headset compatibility make hands-free communication possible. The Ni-MH battery provides up to eight hours of talk time and up to 96 hours of standby. A one-year limited warranty is also provided.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good enough, May 23, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Panasonic KXTGA420B 2.4 Ghz Cordless Station Unit (Office Product)

I purchased a KX-TG2000 2-line base with two handsets and a KX-TGA420 extension for use in my turn-of-the-century three story Victorian. The phones work well everywhere I have placed them except near cell phones. They even work in the yard and carriage house. I never have to worry about placing phone lines. Programming the phones is not intuitive but the manual is clear and once you have the instructions programming is easy enough. The phone will call your pager if you get a message and you can use the extensions as an intercom. It beats running up two flights of stairs. You can have voice mail for everyone in the family if you want, and access voice mail from the KX-TGA420. The phones allow you to store the numbers of people who call, you if you have caller ID. The only complaint my family has is that you can't pick up an extension and listen in without the originator consciously conferencing the phone call or transferring it to an extension. Personally, I enjoy the privacy. The only drawback is that the extensions only work through the base unit, which means whole system goes down if your base fails. I tried and returned several expandable phone systems including ATT and GE before settling on Panasonic.

4.0 out of 5 stars thinking about buying another!!!, August 4, 2004

I have had the complete system for over a year using it as a primary phone system in a small office environment. This unit, the cordless 420B, is my favorite of all. We use the speaker phone constantly and place it in the center of the conference table when the situation calls for group discussion. The novelty of walking throughout the complex talking on a corded.. cordless phone is unique. The quality of the units and the service is more than acceptable. Personally, I really like the phone and plan on purchasing another like the 420B. Note: Keep the units away from computer monitors (as in beside) due to the antennas causing the screens to produce a wavy effect. Move the phone... wavy screen stops. Buy it, you'll like it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Panasonic 4000 4 line cordless: thumbs down, July 25, 2003

I bought the KX-TG4000 as well as the extension telephone listed above as the 420B as This telephone system does not have acceptable voice quality, even with both base and extension in the same room.

In addition, this base station is not powerful enough to cover a large, pre-World War II house with hard plaster steel lath walls and ceilings in some of the rooms intervening between the base and the extensions. It was a disaster, frankly.

I have been using a Uniden 900 mhz digital cell phone in this house for 5 years, without the slightest interference, and with first class voice quality.

To rule out defectiveness of this unit, I borrowed another 2.4 ghz base and extension and placed them in the same relation as the 4000/420 combination. The results were just as bad.

I had to return the whole kit and caboodle, including 4 420's, the base unit and three cordless handsets, incurring [expensive]restocking fees from the internet supplier who sold me the system.

The one star is scarcely enough to convey my disappointment and anger about this system.

P.S., the system does not allow paging, a significant drawback. Nor does it have a one step automatic transfer of calls into voicemail.
