Plagued by dropped calls [Posted on 2008-11-16] If you are going to buy a DECT phone (no matter which brand) I would suggest you be sure to purchase from a place that has a great return policy. This technology seems to work fine for some people, but unfortunately I have fallen into the sizable camp of people for whom it does not work. No matter where we place the base, we end up having calls get dropped - several times a day. It's very annoying and frustrating. I had this problem first with Panasonic's spiffy bluetooth compatible DECT model (KX-TH1212B). Thinking maybe it was the bluetooth part that was causing the dropped calls, I switched to this simpler model, the KX-TG6311. It too suffers from the dropped call syndrome. When it works, it's great. But when it drops a call, you want to throw it at the wall. Read the Amazon user reviews of the KX-TH1212B for more on this -- as of today, 21 of the 46 reviews give it one star, predominantly because of the dropped call issue. And Panasonic's customer service people are clueless about this.
Better than expected [Posted on 2008-11-16] The Panasonic Dect 6.0, 3 handheld system works as advertised. Sound is fine with no iterference. The range is great, much better than expected from reading other reviews. The intercom is especially handy and easy to use. I like the voice mail indicators. If you don't need an answering machine, this is the way to go. I particularly like the fact that the rechargeable batteries are AAA, and easily available. Battery life is about one week before a recharge. I would definitely purchase it again.
Great Phones! [Posted on 2008-11-20] These are great phones for the price. They arrived quickly and programming them was very easy. However, I'm a little unhappy about not being able get a number from any of the phones caller ID if it is currently in use
Absolutely Useless [Posted on 2008-11-21] Bought these phones to add extra phones in the house. Completely useless. Can't get them to pick up when people call, can't get them to dial tone when wanting to place a call. Went through configuration and setup, no trouble shooting steps. Error says "no connection to base, reconnect AC adapter" Spend you money elsewhere.
disappointing [Posted on 2008-11-29] This has been a big disappointment for us. I have bought 3 Panasonic cordless phones--the first 2 were great--lightning zapped both of those (one of the joys of summertime in the deep south!). Anyway, the previous one was the KX-TG 2422, and it was by far the best cordless phone I have ever used--batteries lasted for days without recharging, range was excellent, clarity outstanding, etc.--I cannot say enough good things about it. Unfortunately, when lightning got it this spring this model had been discontinued, so I replaced it with the 6313S. It was okay at first, though I did not like it as well, but it was okay. Now, for the past couple of months it will not hold a charge for more than a couple of hours, sound quality is getting poor, one of the handsets sometimes freezes up and will not do anything--cannot answer on it, make a call from it, or view any information from it. It does this periodically for some unknown reason, then resolves itself. I would not recommend this to anyone. Also, just for my personal preference, I prefer to have the option of a shared phonebook. With the other model, I had my most called numbers on one handset ("my phone"), and my husband's on the other handset ("his phone"). This saved a lot of time and annoyances by not having to scroll through the list of each other's friends/contacts. We shared family members numbers, but kept others separate. I am currently reading the reviews and trying to decide what to try next, it is very frustrating and time-consuming.
