Panasonic KX TG9343T DECT 6 0 Expandable Digital Cordless Answering System w 3 Handsets

Panasonic’s KX-TG9343T DECT 6.0 Expandable Cordless Phone boasts a talking alarm clock that will tell you when it’s time for lunch, and a talking battery alert that will politely tell you when your battery is low, with a reminder. Using text-to-speech technology, the Caller ID information is announced between rings. 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. 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. Unwanted callers will receive a busy signal when they call you again. 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.

With three handsets (one base and two chargers) and the option of adding up to three additional handsets (requires additional purchases) ? 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.

User Ratings and Reviews

1 Star Great phone but it echos after you make a call
As soon as you call someone when the phone has not been used for awhile (3-5 hours or more), your voice goes out the mic on the handset and right back into your ear as a delayed echo effect. This can last up to 2 minutes until the chip? warms up enough to eliminate the echo. I have tried 4 of these phones and called tech support in Manilla which was no help. I have tried everything to eliminate this problem in my house to no avail. I returned the phone 4 times to Best Buy where I bought it and went home empty. The phone is well made but with the echo start to calls it’s thumbs down completely. Also tried the 5.8GHZ version. Same problem. May be my wireing or something in my house but it is unacceptable from Panasonic unless it can be fixed.

5 Stars Very good cordless system
After reading numerous reviews (on Amazon and other web sites) about this and many other DECT cordless phones, I ordered this system. This system is used by me and my wife. A primary consideration is that we use Vonage, which is a voice over internet protocol service provider. As a result, we needed one base unit that could be connected to the Vonage telephone modem and then have additional phones that do not require to be plugged into a phone jack. This system fit the bill. We recently moved into a three level New England home (four if you include the basement); we have used this phone system for three weeks as of this writing, and we have placed and received numerous phone calls; the base unit and one other unit are located on the second level; the third unit is located on the first level; we receive clear reliable reception on every level (including the basement) and outside in the front and back lawns. I have used the hand-free speaker option several times on each phone — it works as advertised. The “night mode” has already come in very handy. After receiving a phone call late one night, I turned on the night mode feature — again, it works as advertised (yes, I received another late night call, which was identified on the “missed caller” list because the phone in our bedroom did not ring). The “talking caller ID” also works fine. Sure, the voice sounds like a computer and not a real person, but that’s what it is. The system identifies who is calling if that person has been added to your phone book, and that’s what I expected. I tested just about every feature and this system is everything I expected — a very good cordless DECT system. Over the past 15 years we have owned several different cordless phones (Sony, GE, Uniden, VTech and others) — this Panasonic is definitely one of the best we’ve owned. We are very satisfied with our purchase and would recommend this system to our friends and family.

5 Stars Excellent Phone; Highly Recommended
I purchased this system one month ago and I’m delighted with its features, sound quality, and improvements made over the last generation of Panasonic cordless phones.

What I enjoy most about the system:

- it’s lighted keypad and easy to read white background handset display,

- auto-synching with the other handsets when adding new entries to address book or when deleting missed call information,

- voice announcement of who’s calling and auto-blocking of (up to) 20 phone numbers you’d like to avoid,

- its programmable night mode allowing for uninterrupted sleep due to the phone ringing in the middle of the night,

- voicemail button to quickly retrieve messages that weren’t saved on the answering machine,

- the included keypad on the base unit itself which is a must if the handset isn’t available

- absolutely no interference with any of our other electronic equipment due to its new transmission frequency (Dect 6.0)

I strongly recommend this system and gave it five stars, however, there are a few areas where improvements can be made:

- increase address book size beyond 50 entries,

- offer a larger variety of ring tones to choose from when identifying the person calling,

- provide a larger answering machine capacity than its current 18 minute total recording time,

- the base unit and/or the handsets should display the total number of messages received

The KX-TG93xx series were released earlier this year and no doubt will set the standards by which other cordless phone systems will be compared.

3 Stars First Panasonic in a long time
I am a long time Uniden customer. My last Panasonic had lots of problems. I have had no problems with Uniden until my last Uniden (TRU-9485). I bought it as a like new product in Nov.07. It lasted 3 months past the warranty.

OK on to the Panasonic. I’ve had it for two weeks. I’ll start with the things I like about it. I do not have any echo issues with it. The sound quality is very very good. The speaker phone works awesome. It feels well built and sturdy in your hand.

The things I don’t like, the voice caller ID is a joke. It very rarely pronounces words correctly.It needs pronunciation lessons. I really liked the transfer call option on my Uniden. I could name the handsets ie. kitchen,living room etc. so I new where I was sending the call and everyone new where a handset belonged The Panasonic works the same except you can’t name the handsets they are numbered from the factory.Much more difficult to keep the assigned handset in that room. The call blocking is only good for blocking specific numbers.Maybe I’m just used to Uniden operating sys. I feel the Uniden is superior. The Panasonic could be a lot better. Overall I’m pretty satisfied. The phone is not perfect but it is very well made and the sound quality is the best I’ve had.
