Product Description

From the Manufacturer

At Panasonic, we never stop trying to increase our knowledge of the ways in which technology can improve people's lives. That's why we've engineered our latest line of DECT 6.0 digital telephones with even more innovative features that enhance the way you communicate. Designed to complement your lifestyle and improve the way you live, our 2009 line features big button handsets and larger, clearer displays in sleek, simple packages.

All-digital answering machine ensures messages are saved, even during power outages.

Panasonic DECT 6.0 phones feature big button handsets and larger, clearer displays in sleek, simple packages.

Long Range, Excellent Clarity and Greater Security
DECT 6.0 (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) technology lets you move freely around your home with long range and amazingly clear sound. It also assures greater protection against eavesdropping for all your calls. Operating in the 1.9GHz frequency range, your phone will not conflict with other wireless devices such as computer routers, wireless keyboards, microwave ovens and other common household devices.

Put a Handset in Every Room
With two handsets (one base and one satellite handset) and the option of adding four more handsets¹ — all while using only one base and one phone jack — go ahead and put one in the den, the kitchen, the master bedroom and the living room so you won't have to make a run for it when the phone rings.

Silent Mode Lets You Choose When and Where the Phone Rings
Now you can program each handset to ring — or not — at your discretion. Before going to sleep, simply set the bedside handset to Silent 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.

The Phone That Talks
Now you don't have to be holding the phone to see who's calling. Using text-to-speech technology, the Caller ID² information is announced between rings. The phone also boasts a talking alarm clock that will tell you when it's time for lunch, and a talking battery alert that politely tells you when your battery is low with a "Please charge phone" reminder.

Block Unwanted Calls
Store the Caller ID info of any and all unwanted callers into your phone's Call Block list so that you can eliminate future pesky calls. After the information is stored, those unwanted callers will receive a busy signal when they call you again.

Never Miss a Call with the Light-Up Indicator
Don't miss important calls when the ringer is off. The Light-Up Indicator with Ringer Alert at the base of the antenna will flash quickly to show that you have an incoming call, and it will flash slowly to let you know you have a new message. So turn off the ringer and never miss a call.

1. Additional handsets sold separately.
2. Requires subscription to name-and-number Caller ID, call waiting and/or voice mail services offered by certain local telephone companies for a fee.

KX-TG6442T includes these additional features:

• Expandable up to six handsets
• Up to four-way conference capability
• Dial keypad on base
• Intercom handset to base
• Handset locator

What's in the Box
Two cordless handsets, one base, one charger, one telephone cord line, two AC adapters, four batteries, two belt clips, one wall mount kit, and operating instructions.

Nice phone, good sound, uses AAA batteries
I don't think as user friendly as the unidens. The menus are less intuitive for me at least. Accessing messages and remote use of the answering machine was much more straight forward with the uniden. No lcd on the answering machine. I especially liked the uniden 1580 series but since it didn't have headphone or belt clip capability it didn't work out.
The panasonic 6442 has both of those but lacks speed dials, almost a deal breaker, not sure just yet. The rep told me none of the current models have speed dial. Why eliminate speed dial?
The dect frequency may be a step forward as far as security and interference are concerned but in my opinion the features and quality are a step back from the last generation phones.
As expensive as this phone is I expected great and got just okay. Still looking for the perfect phone...

What can I say, it does its job, and it does it well. Crisp sound, light handsets, easy-to-use answering machine.

The only downside to it is that changing the settings on the device is not very easy to do. Keep the manual handy.

I love this phone. It has all the features that I want, which include speakerphone functions on the base station and the handsets, caller-id, and multiple portable handsets. It takes up a minimum of space on my desk, and is expandable as a system beyond the 2 handsets, each with their own charging stations, that came with it. I recommend this product. I also recommend Amazon. I have purchased several items in addition to a number of books from Amazon, and the service has always been excellent.
