Panasonic KX-TGD563M Cordless Phone System

I originally ordered the Panasonic KX-TGE274S Link2Cell model Panasonic KX-TGE274S Link2Cell Bluetooth Enabled Phone with Answering Machine & 4 Cordless Handsets , and ended up returning it due to connectivity problems with my cell phone. I replaced it with this model, and it has worked perfectly. I've owned it as of this writing for a little over two months. The features of each model seem to be pretty much identical as far as I can tell, but this one (the KX-TG7875S) has five handsets in total instead of four with the TGE274S. My favorite features of this phone system area as follows: It beeps when you have a message waiting! I really missed this from an older phone system I had quite a few years back, and very few cordless phone systems offer that anymore. I just don't notice that little flashing red light when I come home, so I need the beep! Note that when you set the system up, the default setting for the audible beep is set to "off," so you'll have to configure it to do this...very easy to do though...look on page 58 of the included manual, "Audible Message Alert." The batteries for each handset are standard, AAA Ni-MH rechargeable batteries. It does not have those special, taped together, unique battery configurations you find on many phones...these will be easy to replace when the time comes. You can link to two cell phones via Bluetooth, and the process is simple to do. There is a "Quick Guide" that will walk you through you how to do this...took me less than five minutes. Even if I do decide to give up my land line one day, I can still pipe our cell phones through this system...meaning, no longer being up in the bedroom and missing a call on the cell phone I left in the kitchen. Not only will your cell phone ring through these cordless phones, but when you get a text message, the handsets give a quick little beep to let you know you've received one...cool! Besides being able to link two cell phones, you can also link a Bluetooth headset if you so desire...AND you can connect a wired headset as well if you prefer to go that route. Each handset has a headset jack on the side to enable this. Communication is clear with great sound volume. You can get some "extras" to go with it if you so choose...namely, a "finder" (called a Key Detector) that entails a little doo-dad you can attach to anything, like keys, and if you lose them, you can utilize the phone to find them. My wife is forever forgetting where she put her purse, so I may have to go for this. You can also get a signal booster to extend the reach from the base unit. However, I live in a large, two-story house with a concrete second floor. I have the base unit in our kitchen and one of the handsets is in the master bedroom at the opposite end of the house, and I've had no issue with the strength of the signal. It also has all the "standard" features that come with most of these cordless phones...like intercom, call blocking, special ring tones, etc. Also note that you set everything up through the handset, not through the base, and then all phones are updated. For example, during the initial set-up I entered the date and the time on one handset, and it was instantly communicated to the other three. The features of this phone system as well as its design are a good example of a company listening to what customers want, and then manufacturing something to tailor to those needs. If things change as I continue to use this system I will update this review. I do highly recommend this set though...for me, it offers every feature I was looking for, and then some. I hope this review was helpful...thanks for reading, and if you have any questions feel free to ask and I'll do my best to answer!

First, I need to start this review by saying that when it comes to cordless phones, nobody beats Panasonic. I don't work nor am I affiliated with Panasonic. This comes from someone that has been using a multitude of different cordless phones over the past few decades. For the past two years I have owned Panasonic's TG-5566 5.8 Dect phone with multiple handsets. This was a powerhouse of a cordless phone system complete with a nice color screen and flashing antenna when calls and voicemail arrived. I wanted to upgrade because the 5.8 phone just wouldn't cover my large property. If I wanted to walk the dog and talk outside, I couldn't because of the lack of range. I couldn't even talk on my deck, located on the opposite end of the house from the base unit. I was eyeing the TG7875S for a long time, but hesitated to upgrade. First, it had no color screen that I could upload a picture to (my old phone was able to accomplish that). Next, it had no flashing light antenna to indicate new voice messages. Thirdly, reading the Amazon reviews from actual owners, I got the idea that this would be sort of a downgrade to all the "bells and whistles" that Panasonic had put into their older phones. I am so happy that I took a leap of faith and ordered the KX-TG7875S Been using it for a week now, and I must say, I love it more than my previous phone system. First of all, before you even buy the phone it's a good idea to do a Google search for the manual to get an idea of all the things you can do with this phone. That being said, I was a bit fearful of all the menu codes mentioned in the manual that gave a person quick access to primary functions. How in the hell would I remember all these codes? Well, rest assured, everything is easily accessible through the phone's handset navigation screen. Play around with it a little, and you'll find that you can easily access any function of the phone within seconds from the navigation screen. The best thing about the Dect 6.0 is its range. I get far more range across my property with this phone than I did with the older. However, I still can't get a signal to the far end of the property. That problem was remedied when I purchased the TGA405B range extender. What a remarkable little unit that thing is. It almost doubled the signal and allows me to walk to the edges of my property without any signal loss. I'll talk more about this device again in a moment. I read complaints about Speakerphone and handset volume. I had none of these issues. Both work well, and there are controls to raise the volume on both. The base unit has a built-in answering machine, but I turned it off since I subscribe to voice mail service. For those subscribers like myself, you will obviously by dismayed by the fact there are no flashing lights to indicate a new voice message is awaiting you, however, a message is clearly displayed across the base and handset that a new voice mail message is waiting. Link2Cell works wonderfully -- much better than what I was using previously. When I had the older Panasonic phone I bought a xLINK device that would plug into the phone line and pair a cell phone. It was bluetooth based, like the new Link2Cell, but it had very limited range. I was amazed at how much better range the bluetooth coverage is on this phone. It easily linked with my iPhone 6 Plus. The base station is located on a top floor, at the opposite end of a large home. However, upon entering the front door, my iPhone automatically links with the base station. It's incredible, because with the previous device I was using, it would only link up if I was in the adjoining room. So bravo to this unit for its bluetooth range. So, yes, once you have your cell phone linked up, when that phone rings, so does your Panasonic phone system. Even caller ID from the cell phone is forwarded to the Panasonic display screen. Call quality is very good, but of course, dependent upon how strong your cell phone signal is. I have dead spots in my home so the quality of the calls from my cell phone vary. What I really love is when someone sends a text message to my iPhone and I get a notification on my Panasonic phone. It's really cool to hear the Panasonic phone ring and a voice say "Text Message." So, essentially, the Panasonic TG7875S allows you leave your cell phone in its charger and completely forget about it when you are home. Your cell phone calls will be forwarded to the base and handsets. If you get a text message, you will be notified of it. I knew I didn't need 5 handsets (I actually needed only 4), but I put a spare away just in case one ever fails. The handsets can be customized with individual names such as "Ron Office" or "Living Room." Intercom functionality allows you to call from one handset at one end of the house to another. I also believe (though I have not tested this) that someone can pick up a handset and join someone on another handset in a single call. Panasonic has introduced two great add-ons to this phone that I think is well worth considering. The first is something I previously mentioned in this review: the TGA405B range extender. It will literally almost double the signal strength of your cordless phone system. So, if you have a large yard and wish to have the ability to walk it and talk it, then this is a must purchase accessory. It costs just under $30. Next, is the TGA20B Key Detector. Clip it on your keychain and use your Panasonic handset to locate your keys if you have misplaced them. The device is nice and small, but my only complaint is that the "chirp" from it could be louder. Thankfully, the Panasonic handset gives you increased/decreased signal strength as you approach (or walk away from) the keys. So even if you can't initially hear the "chirp" of the device the Panasonic phone should be able to guide you there. I think I have covered everything. Just want to again say that this is a remarkable phone system. With the addition of the range extender and the keychain finder, it becomes an INCREDIBLE phone system. So happy I didn't take the less than stellar reviews to heart and bought this phone system.

Sound quality on this Panasonic phone not good drops calls static in your ear can’t hear the person properly Panasonic really dropped the ball on this phone I’ve had other Panasonic phones never had the issues that I have this one I’m trying to get a warranty claim on it now

I did some research to find the best cordless phone for the best value and decided it was the Panasonic. The phones were extremely easy to set up. They were pre-programmed to all work in the system. All I had to do was charge them and plug them in. The sound quality is very good and they dial pad is very easy to read. I have not taken the time to program my cel phone onto the system, but I anticipate this function to work well. Clearly Panasonic has worked out all of the bugs years ago.

Cada cierto tiempo cambio mis telefonos DECT de Panasonic en casa, los viejos se los regalo a algún familiar. Mi modelo anteriorKX-TGE430 nunca dejaron de funcionar, pero se escuchaban bien por el auricular pero no se entendía bien cuando usaba speaker. Por eso compré estos nuevos. Siempre había comprado negros, ahora compré este que son blancos con un toque de azul marino. Se ven bien cuando se ilumina la pantalla y el teclado en color amarillo. En primer lugar, está la marca. Panasonic es lo mejor para cordless phones en landlines. Sus diseños y calidad son excelentes. La lista de contactos se carga una vez y se almacena en la base, por eso es que los otros teléfonos pueden ver el listado compartido. Tiene la opción de conectar dos teléfonos celulares por bluetooth, además de que puedes transferir la libreta de direcciones de tu iphone o android al teléfono, para no tener que estar cargando manualmente 30 teléfonos. Tiene grabadora de voz, contestadora, localizador de teléfono, por si no lo encuentras. Las pilas quiero imaginarme, como en otros panasonic dect que he tenido, que deben durar toda la vida, nunca he tenido que cambiarle las pilas a mis telefonos panasonic. el diseño de carga inteligente que tienen y la gran calidad de las celdas de las baterías hacen que duren mucho tiempo (hasta 5 días en standby) y que no se dañen las pilas, por eso duran años. tiene la opción de usar manos libres bluetooth, aunque no lo he hecho, viene en el manual como configurarlo. cuenta con bloqueador de llamadas por si te marcan del banco o algun vendedor ofreciendo cualquier cosa y no quieres que te moleste. en general, buen equipo, de una gran marca, recomendado. me costó aprox 2100 en feb 2021 (1869 producto y 322 de tarifas importacion). se recomienda. y no lo busquen en otros lugares como liverpool o palacio de hierro, vale 60% más caro.

Excelente producto lo recomiendo ampliamente muy practico y a muy buen precio 👍 Recomendado. Es muy fácil de usar x

Arrived quickly and work like a charm. Even more cool features than I had thought when I purchased. I love the fact that I can put a phone just about anywhere (where there is AC Power) in the house. Great product and quality.
