Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
The KX-TG2355S from Panasonic is a 2.4 GHz cordless phone with a built-in answering system and caller ID/call waiting compatibility. It utilizes the 2.4 GHz band and employs digital spread spectrum technology to provide a clear, accurate signal, while Panasonic's Voice Enhancer technology reproduces more of the frequencies used in human speech than traditional phones do. Caller ID stores up to 50 numbers in its internal memory, while a talking caller ID feature announces the name and number of the incoming caller. A 50-number internal phone directory helps you to keep track of all your important phone numbers, and the display-and-dial feature lets you scroll through either the phone directory or caller ID list and dial the displayed number simply by pressing talk.

Handset and base speakerphones combine with headset compatibility to provide hands-free communication methods, while handset and ringer controls allow you to adjust volume levels to your liking. Dual keypads allow you to dial from either the base or the handset, and an illuminated keypad makes dialing in poorly lit environments a snap. A page button on the base makes finding a lost handset quick and easy, and an intercom function lets you talk between handset and base locations. A conferencing feature lets both the base and handset speak with an outside party, and a call transfer function lets you route calls from the base to the handset and vice-versa.

The all-digital answering machine has up to 16 minutes of recording time and a maximum message length of three minutes. Flash memory automatically preserves your messages in case of a power outage, while remote operation allows you to manage your messages even when you're away from home. The NiMH batteries have a talk time of up to five hours, with a standby life of up to 11 days. The KX-TG2355S is wall-mountable and comes backed by a one-year limited warranty.

3.0 out of 5 stars OK but annoying!, September 4, 2005

By	Hillary Liles (Cedar Park, TX) - See all my reviews

This phone system works fine. It does what it advertises and has some nice features BUT there are a couple minor things that have driven me to really hate this phone over the past several months.

First of all, I use a headset on almost all my calls and the belt clip will not stay attached to the phone. I have dropped this phone countless times (which tells you it can take a beating), but have had to resort to taping the belt clip on.

Second, the ring tones are not great. There are a few melodic ones that sound really nice at first, but since the handset rings a few seconds behind the base, you get an annoying clash of sound every time the phone rings. There are only a couple plain ringtones and I personally found these pretty grating as well.
* You do have the option of shutting off the handset ringer, but then you can't page it when you lose it.

Third, by the time the talking caller id kicks in, the answering machine is about to pick up. I have a voicemail that picks up when I'm on the other line, so I have to keep the answering machine set at 4 rings. The talking caller id doesn't kick in until the third ring. If you don't have any conflicting technology, this won't be an issue for you.

So, in a nutshell, it is a decent phone/answering machine, but annoying enough that I am shopping for a new one!
