4.0 out of 5 stars
Good product for the price, February 22, 2002
I've got the KX-TG2481S (same model, just silver), and have loved it! I have excellent reception in all locations, and though it takes a bit of practice to use the answering features, you CAN delete individual messages and keep the ones you want to save. I'm not sure why the previous reviewer was unable to figure it out.I'm able to easily access my messages while I'm away from home, and have yet to have a single problem with a garbled or unintelligible message...

1.0 out of 5 stars
Lasted 4 months, February 11, 2002
We were tired of cheap phones with fuzzy reception, so we wanted a top-quality phone with a lot of clarity. We sure didn't get it here. First off, it's not the clarity one would expect from a 2.4 GHz phone and the answering machine's quality is even worse. The answering machine features are not very user-friendly. I would like to be able to save certain messages and delete others - but it's all or nothing. Looking up saved numbers is not user-friendly, either. Panasonic's customer service on their website leaves much to be desired - all I want to know is if the phone is still in warranty. I don't have to wait in a phone queue, then pay to ship the phone to another state....

4.0 out of 5 stars
Reasonable, comfortable, good buy and a little complex, January 28, 2003
Update 7/3/05:
This phone is still in use as my daily phone as of this update. It has required a replacement battery. Other than that, its been solid and held up well.
The answering machine does sound a bit dated compared to what is on the market today with the 5.8 phones.
Overall, I'm pleased and do not regret buying it!
...end update
Unlike the other reviewer of this phone. I have been pleased with mine. Sound quality rivals corded phones. The earpiece is comfortable and can provide long conversations with comfort. Caller ID is also easy to use on the lighted LCD. Lighted keypads are also nice.
Answering machine is reasonable also. Its not hifi or anything, but I'd put it in the top 75% in sound quality. It also takes a little bit to set up. I like the slow playback feature of the messages. I use it once in awhile on a person I know who talks really fast!
Responding to the range. Normally 3 houses either way is considered decent range. I don't know what the previous poster had for a criteria. If he wants to go a block, he's bound for many disappointments. I live in an apartment, so I don't need 300' of range. I did test the phone's range once. I'd say I got it to 1/4 of a mile (with choppiness). Anyone considering a digital phone of any frequency should keep in mind that digital is fickle when the signal gets weak or interfered with. Thats why the manufacturers say put the phone in a good central spot for optimum range. High intereference spots or bad locations just kill digital phones. Where as analog phones just get staticy, digital cuts out once it loses a viable signal. It either works, chops in and out or not at all. .
Anyhow, I've gotten away from my review of this fine phone. Only drawback I've really had is programming it. It does take some time with the manual to get it cooking. Thus the 4 stars. Once you have it set though, its a good working phone.
Another feature I bought it for - ringer high, low and off.
Well worth the buy and constructed well too.
