Bad reception [Posted on 2007-01-27]
After only three months the reception on this phone is almost completely shot. Lots of static makes callers virtually inaudible.
Outraged at uselessness [Posted on 2007-02-15]
I don't usually write reviews.
The phone doesn't automatically work when I plug it in. Dials OK. But doesn't respond to a ring.
I returned it to Amazon. Second unit (replacement, received today) is just like the first.
This is really outrageous. (Other phones plugged into same jack ring fine. Unit is powered up. Battery is charged. Base unit ring volume set high. Same for handheld unit. Phone does not respond to incoming calls in any way -- no flashing light, no answering machine pickup, no ring. Phone makes outgoing calls fine. When I dial the phone's number from the phone itself, phone network indicates busy.)
I am now waiting for a response from Panasonic technical support.
Panasonic losing their edge [Posted on 2007-04-19]
I purchased the phone to replace the Panasonic that I had for about 4 years. The older phone was rich in functionality and performed outstandingly well.
NOT this phone. Many of the features are either missing or buried under two or three layers of menus. It does not even have a find handset option on it's front which is key to today's portable home phones.
Panasonic's Plastic Screen Covers [Posted on 2007-07-28]
Ten months ago, (October 07), I purchased this particular Panasonic cordless telephone. It has functioned well; however recently some guests used the telephone regularly for six weeks at the end of which time I noticed that the Plastic lens that covers the window of the face of the telephone was so badly etched that I could not see through it anymore. I called Panasonic to report the problem and to ask them how to repair it or if I could send it back to get a new Plastic face plate. Panasonic told me that the Plastic was "damaged" by cosmetics and therefore the warranty was now void. Although most women wear cosmetics; Panasonic's choice of this type of Plastic to use on a product which is held against face and hair was, according to Panasonic, an excellent choice and they have no plans to change it. They told me I had no options outside of buying a new telephone. Further discussion revealed that they would not repair it, they only replace them, and of course since mine had been "damaged by coming into contact with cosmetics", the warranty was now void, therefore; nothing would be done about it. And furthermore they did not care whether their product lasted less than a year, or that there was no warning regarding damage caused by cosmetic use or that the resulting damage would then void their warranty. Nowhere in all the literature or warranty that comes with the Panasonic telephone does it mention anything about the care of the Plastic cover, or that cosmetics would damage the Plastic and void the warranty. If you buy this product, you should know that Panasonic will void your warranty if you use cosmetics, which admittedly causes damage to the telephone screen cover.
Good phone system [Posted on 2007-11-14]
I have been using the KX-TG5771 phone for four months now and find it very satisfactory. The range of the handset is great, extending from the front porch to the rear patio with good quality throughout (the base is in a second floor office). Sound quality is fine, and the headset accessory is very comfortable and clear - great for conference calls.
