Panasonic Dect 6.0 Series 3 Handset Cordless Phone System with Answering System (KX-TG1033S)

Chose this phone after much research on public opinion. It is for residential use and meets our needs very well.

Panasonic Dect 6.0 Series 3 Handset Cordless Phone System with Answering System (KX-TG1033S)
EXCELLENT FEATURES, CLARITY, AND PERFORMANCE. QUALITY SPEAKER PHONE ON EACH HANDSET, AND NO INTERFERENCE WITH WIRELESS ROUTER.

I have used other Panasonic phones and this one follows the same reliable and well-made tradition. Very easy to set up. Clarity is superb.

We purchased the KX-TG1034S(with 4 handsets), AND the KX-TG1033S(with 3 handsets)for two different locations. They replace much earlier 2.4Ghz models.
The GOOD news:
Setup and registration was easy and the self registration was also helpful.
The batteries last MUCH longer (talk over 4 hours), and I have not left the handset out long enough to know the standby time.
Sound, and lack of Interference, are remarkable! Range is good, about the same as the previous models, however, could be better.
Overall, these are 'smarter' with improved features and performance. However,
The BAD news:
The Base station lacks several items; 1) an Intercom function, with a 'Handset-specific Page Feature' 2) the Answering Machine lacks 'Message Counter' or Audio message waiting Indicator, 3)Capture device for the Telephone wire{small item}.
The 'Hands-Free' audio quality is sometimes poor on the other end.
The Handsets seem to drop connection more often then the 2.4Ghz model.
The Yellow light {indicating charge} can NOT be turned off, and only blinks when there is a 'message' on the phone company voice mail, detected by the studder dial-tone , and NOT when this unit has a message waiting.
Sharing the PhoneBook works 'OK' with the following notes; 1) Entries sent from one handset to an other are ADDED to the receiving handset, resulting in duplication(s), 2) I have NOT been able to get the 'Single Entry Move' function to work at all.

Overall, these models are much improved but lack features that would have been easy to have included. Would I recommend purchase of these? YES, for the price they represent the BEST choice on the market at the time we made our buying decision.

Excellent. Works very well. Does everything it said it would. Very satisfied
