Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Save on Cordless Telephones & Handsets
This is my second Panasonic cordless phone set, the first being a KX-TG238 2.4 GHz model. I bought the first set for two reasons: 1) I saw one at my mother's house and it seemed to have a good set of features, and 2) it had a NiMH battery. The second feature (NiMH battery) was the primary selling point for me and the KX-TG670 continues this excellent feature. It is very nice to be able to put the handset in the charging cradle no matter the current charge state. I am not sure why cordless phone manufacturers still insist on utilizing NiCd batteries. The service life is shorter and there are memory issues. The other big selling point on this phone for me was the ability to handle two separate phone lines, both at the base station and on the handsets. On the handset you have soft-keys below the larger display to choose between Line 1 and Line 2. This capability extends to the voicemail greetings and checking. It is also possible to conference both lines together. The speakerphone features of the KX-TG238 are continued in the TG670, but are extended to the base station as well. I expected ONLY the handsets to do the dirty work, but the base station is a fully-featured speakerphone too. BONUS!!! Additionally, the TG670 will accept up to eight handsets, compared to the TG238 with three. When I was growing up in a house with six kids, eight handsets might have been useful. I think most households will get by with two handsets for the TG670, especially with the BONUS! mentioned above. The usable distance of the KX-TG670 handsets away from the base station is shorter, as expected. Generally speaking, at equivalent power levels the higher frequency-range signals will not propagate as far. So, where I was able to use the 2.4 GHz handset on the third floor of the apartment building, with the base station on the first floor; the 5.8 GHz handset barely makes it out of my apartment. I expected shorter range going into the purchase, but this might be a bit on the short side. Some annoyances still remain from the TG238: There is Caller ID and a Missed Call list but if the same person calls more than once, only the last call time is kept with a multiplier designation next to the number (e.g., x2, x3, etc.). So, if you were gone for a week and your mother called eight times, you would know that but not whether all calls were on the same day, one per day, or anything about the call history - except that it was multiple times. The Redial feature is still anemic at five numbers, and some of the on-screen menus are strangely organized. And one new annoyance has been introduced: Both phone have a compass-style navigation button on the phone (Up, Down, Left, Right). With the TG238 you would press the Function key to get into the control menus and then you navigate Up and Down the menu structure, and then Select or Back up (Right and Left) with the same navigation button. For some reason, with the TG670 they have decided to utilize the Soft Keys to present the user with a "Select" choice, but only for some features. Other features retain the Left and Right select with navigation button. Overall, this is a good solid phone set. If Panasonic were to iron out a fews bumps, it could be a great handset.Read full review
Great clarity, Panasonic quality - had to replace my old Sony 900mhz 2 line cordless and very pleased. It did not come with a manual (I could download on line though - that's Panasonic for you!) but so far I've figured everything out so its menu and functions are very user friendly. Compact size is nice and the second unit functions separately from the base unit so the caller ID is on both units - for me that's a plus since I tend to delete before I think it through. I have the base unit in the hall and the second unit in the TV room and it's super.
You really appreciate a good phone when you have struggled with an awful one. I had bought a multi-line phone of a different variety and for a month made excuses for the static and poor quality of sound. I finally gave up and went back to Panasonic (a company I had been pleased with previously) and bout the KX-TG6702B. HOW WONDERFUL, It is lightweight portable that easily accepts most headsets and you can hear so beautifully. I love it. The only things I do not adore is the fact that if you are on a call and the 2nd line rings, it blips out your conversation on the line you are on. It is a small price to pay for all the other fabulous characteristics.
I upgraded from the 2.4 GHZ phone. This one is lighter weight.Does not have the antenna. The one feature I miss is the different mail boxes. The 2.4 model you could leave messages and retrive in different mail boxes. Overall it is a good phone.
Good product, performing as I described. Programmable answering system to answer on either or both lines, great distance/range, with remote access was three digits, not two, and wish handsets could be programmed with Names/ID's like an older panasonic phone i have at the house.
