Panasonic KX-TG2570B 2.4 GHz DSS Cordless Phone with Answering System and Caller ID (Black)

Product Description

Panasonic KX-TG2570 is the perfect phone for maximum range. Innovative technologies extend the working range up to 8 times that of an analog 900MHz cordless phone. The two-antenna system on the base helps assure long range and consistent sound quality. The Digital Spread Spectrum technology is built in to increase the range and give you more security in your conversations. The KX-TG2570 model supports Caller ID with Visual Call Waiting; Caller ID Pager Call/Call Screening/Auto Interrupt functions and has a backlit 3-Line handset LCD. The phone features a long life battery that provides longer working hours.

Amazon.com Review

Panasonic's KX-TG570B is a sleek 2.4 GHz SST cordless phone and answering machine combo. We were impressed with both the range and the voice quality of this phone, but the device suffers from a confusing design and a user interface that will stump anyone who doesn't keep the user manual around at all times.

The answering machine built into the base unit is all digital and can record up to 14 minutes worth of messages. You can retrieve and delete messages by using the handset, with which you can also turn the machine on and off. The handset itself is solidly built, with a rubber inlay on its side to provide a better grip and absorb shock if it's dropped. A three-line, high-resolution backlit LCD graces the front of the handset and displays all sorts of information, from caller-ID names and numbers to the menu items that comprise the phone's interface. This interface is the worst thing about the KX-TG2570B, as it's practically impossible to use without referring constantly to the manual. However, once mastered, it let us add our own phone directory to the unit and edit or delete Caller ID entries that automatically were added to the phone's database.

On the upside, the KX-TG570B's range and ability to penetrate walls blew away other 900 MHz cordless phones we've tested. With the base unit in a basement office (which in turn was in a brick building), we were able to leave the building and roam all over the parking lot with no loss in voice clarity. Additionally, the audio quality was superb as long as we stayed within range, with no hissing, popping, or other static present.

There are a few things about the KX-TG2570B that just don't make sense. You can answer incoming calls using the speakerphone in the base unit, but because it has no keys you can't place a call with it. The bay used to recharge the handset provides a loose fit, meaning the handset can easily tip forward and lose its electric connection. There's no mute button, and although the buttons on the handset are backlit, those on the base are not. This is a great-sounding phone with good range, but if you're looking for perfection, there are better options. --T. Byrl Baker

Amazon.com Product Description

The Panasonic KX-TG2570 is one of the GigaRange Extreme phones--in fact, it offers Panasonic's longest-range spread-spectrum technology (SST) to date. Cordless phones with SST have greater output power than regular cordless phones because they transmit over the entire bandwidth, constantly changing frequency.

While conventional phones transmit and receive signals within the same band (which can result in interference between these signals), 2.4 GHz GigaRange Extreme SST cordless phones employ the use of two different frequencies: 2.4 GHz on the base and 900 MHz on the handset. This means that interference between these signals is minimized, thereby enhancing clarity and boosting range. A unique, proprietary circuitry design also helps these phones resist interference from other devices that share similar bands, like microwave ovens. Panasonic 2.4 GHz GigaRange Extreme cordless phones utilize SST in both the 2.4 GHz and 900 MHz bands.

This unique twin-band transmission, coupled with rugged design, allows you to take your conversations outdoors and to the extreme. Panasonic has also included a 2.5-millimeter headset jack and belt clip for hands-free operation. Its relatively small design enables you to simply slip the phone into your pocket when you're not using it. In addition, these phones are designed to stand up to everyday wear and tear. They are shock resistant and splash resistant, guarding them against damage caused by occasional dropping or spilling.

The KX-TG2570 also boasts two-way paging and automatic intercom, dual antenna system, backlit three-line LCD display on handset, 50-station caller ID memory and dialer, 30-station phone directory and dialer, navigator key, seven-hour battery charging system, and up to eight hours of talk time. The answering system includes call screening, skip/FF, repeat/rewind, and all/individual erase.

5 out of 5 stars Worked fine.......2007-10-30

This seller properly disclosed the age of the phone. The phone works but more detail about the quality would've been nice.

5 out of 5 stars Not as bad as some say........2007-04-28

I got this phone back in 2001, and the only trouble after roughly six years is that I need a new battery. It is a bit worn looking though, but that's to be expected for the length of time I've had it. I have NOT been gentle with this phone, and it still works, which says a lot about the product.

1 out of 5 stars Out-Of-Range and Out-Of-Patience.......2005-09-19

I too have fallen victim of the infamous "out of range" problem. I paid the extra bucks for this crummy thing because I didn't want the hassle of an inferior phone. It just goes to show - you don't always get what you pay for. In addition to this complaint, my other pet peeves about this phone are: 1) the fake silver coating rubs off the handset turning the once metalic-looking object into an wornout-looking piece of garbage with spots of cheap-looking plastic showing through; 2) the display screen gets all greasy from being pressed against your face, forcing you to wipe it off before/after every use; 3) the rubber protective strip below the ear piece rubs off on every surface you place it down on, producing black scuff marks all over the house.

Needless to say, my next phone will not be Panasonic.

4 out of 5 stars THE WAY TO SOLVE ERRORS!!!EVERYBODY LISTEN UP!!!.......2005-02-06

I am a boy from CHINA!!!Many KX-TG2570S were exported from US as rubbishes and imported as treasures! EVERYONE here claims that the phone has "OUT OF RANGE" errors. But do you have your own way to solve it? You just send them back to Panasonic; you never want to solve this problem use some simple tips and your talented brains!!!I am a computer science major. While I programming, i always making many bugs, when the error first occuerd with me, i thought this error was also a bug and can be solved in a simple way, below:
STEP 1:Pour a cup of coffee and find a nice chair!
STEP 2:Getting your cordless phone in front of you!
STEP 3:Try several times by putting the handset back to the main and take it back, open the on/off button on the handset, make sure the display is "TALK";(This step is important, you must be patient to get the last result:the dailing TONE and the "TALK" message)
STEP 4:When STEP 3 was done, it is OK when you press on/off button on the handset without put it back to the main unit, this is what the bug begin, see STEP 5:
STEP 5:IF you put the handset back to the main with the handset in status:"off", when you take the handset next time, the error will occur in a high possibility(too high to be used), but if YOU PUT THE HANDSET BACK TO THE MAIN WITHOUT TURING THE HANDSET POWER OFF, THE ERROR WILL NEVER OCCURS(JUST THINK THE HANDSET DO NOT HAVE A ON/OFF SWITCH ADD PUT IT BACK IMMEDIATELY AFTER A CALLING)!!!BELIEVE IN ME!!!
STEP 6:Enjoy your new-birth phone and enjoy your coffee;
STEP 7:If this help U, mail me gio923@msn.com to thank me; hope your success!

1 out of 5 stars bad phone.......2004-09-20

I came online to amazon.com to search for a new better phone and came accross this one. I already have it and it is the worst phone i have ever had. i've had it for about almost three years and i shouldn't have even kept it that long. The battery life is EXTREMELY short. i talk on the phone a lot and i cut almost all of my conversations short beacause the phone needs to be charged. BUYERS BEWARE!!!
