The most problem I've faced with this phone That the Caller ID not working and if there is missed call there is no any singe about it! really its very weird! Any other Panasonic phone gonna be better.

5 out of 5 stars My favorite!!!!.......2007-04-03

I absolutely love my phone. I have 2 extension handsets with it. It's my favorite "toy" in the whole house. You can change the ringtone, use the phone or handset as a walkie talkie, or intercom! Best of all the speaker phone is clear and loud as if you had the phone on your ear. I'll never go back to an ordinary cordless phone.

5 out of 5 stars More than 1 year used!.......2006-12-23

And I loved. I bought in december 2005 and the product still working perfect. I RECOMEND

1 out of 5 stars Terrible telephone.......2006-12-17

This seems like a nice idea, but Motorola's excution is terrible. The phones now have a battery life that can barely last one reasonabley long call. The sound quality is average, at best, and they drop calls willy-nilly. I would never have bought these phones knowing this, and I will be avoiding Motorola for a long time to come.

2 out of 5 stars Looks nice, lot of nice features, a couple issues that ruined it for me........2006-05-31

I'd have to agree with the jazz guy's review. There are some design flaws here. I did find out how to change the # of rings on the answering machine when I called the service line. You go to devices under menu and choose answer base, then there is an option to change it there.

As stated above, there is no way to turn off or change the volume on the base ringer. This defeats the volume control on the handset.

They state on the box that 15 ringtones can be used to identify incoming callers. This really means you can choose 1 ringtone for everyone in your phone book and another for everyone else. I expected to set a ringtone for each person. Not possible.

Lastly, there is no speed dial. Just an option to choose from your phonebook which often takes more effort than dialing the number. For these reasons, I will be heading back to the store today to exchange. I should have stuck with Uniden. Had a great one for 5+ years.

4 out of 5 stars Mine has worked fine.......2007-02-24

I'm writing because my experience is completely different from the other two reviews. We have had this phone for a few years now with no problems at all. I really like it. I wanted a dual phone so the corded one would work in the event of a power outage. Cordless phone works even outside in front of my house. I'm viewing this item because I'm ordering another one. My husband dropped the cordless phone into the bathtub and now it doesn't work. Hope my replacement item works like my old one did, and not the ones the reviewers here have had. I'll write an update review if it doesn't.

1 out of 5 stars Confirmation that it is indeed a piece of junk!.......2006-07-05

I bought 1 set and it worked well for weeks. So, unfortunately, I bought another set for my mom. About a year later, my cordless failed (no dial tone, but all other functions work). A few weeks later, my mom's set failed the same way! Really disappointing from a giant brand name...

1 out of 5 stars Piece of Junk--Don't Buy It!.......2006-05-15

This is a piece of junk. The cordless phone did not work from day one. The corded phone only worked intermittently. Often I could not get a dial tone unless I hit the phone!

Uniden DXAI4288-2 2.4 GHz Extended Range Cordless Phone with Dual Handsets, Caller ID/Call Waiting and Digital Answering Machine

Product Description

Uniden Cordless Phones offer advanced 2.4 GHz Technology for extended range plus valuable features like Caller ID handsets. Uniden phones are designed and engineered to exacting standards for reliability and outstanding performance.

Amazon.com Product Description

A two-handset phone system from Uniden, the DXAI4288-2 comes with some useful features, including caller ID/call waiting compatibility and a built-in answering machine. The first handset recharges in the base, while the second comes with its own charging cradle that requires only an AC outlet, so you don't have to worry about additional phone jacks.

The DXAI4299 has a 30-number caller ID (each handset), and the display-and-dial feature allows you to easily scroll through the caller ID list and dial the displayed number with the touch of a button. Ten memory-dial presets are also provided, allowing you to quickly dial the most frequently used outgoing numbers.

You can transfer incoming calls between handsets, while headset compatibility provides a convenient, hands-free communication method. You can adjust handset and ringer volume levels, as well as set the handset LCD menu to one of three menu languages (English, French, or Spanish). The base unit is wall-mountable, offering increased placement options, and a page button lets you easily locate a misplaced handset.

The all-digital answering machine has a 13-minute maximum record, while the maximum message length can be set to either 1 or 4 minutes. With memo and conversation recording, the DXAI4288-2 provides a quick and easy way to save important information such as directions and telephone numbers, and full remote operation allows you to check your messages even when you are away from home. Uniden also provides a one-year limited warranty on both parts and labor.

2 out of 5 stars Uniden DXAI4288-2.......2007-09-24

Purchased this item after long and satisfactory experience with Uniden products. Good functions and easy to use, but very noisy and poor reception. Not recommended.

1 out of 5 stars Can you go lower than 1 star?.......2007-05-15

This has the WORSE reception of any phone I've ever had and that includes a $5 stationary dial phone! It's cheap plastic and for the price, not worth it! I already have a Uniden that has lasted and done well for quite awhile, but this one is junk. The "second" phone is pointless. Transferring a call from one to the other is a waste of time. I took it back after 3 days and bought an ATT!

1 out of 5 stars TRASH.......2006-09-14

DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE BOUGHT ONE FOR MY MOM AND ONE FOR ME. THE RECEPTION IS HORRIBLE AND ALL I CAN HEAR IS STATIC SAME WITH HERS!!!!!

5 out of 5 stars Great Phone for the price!.......2006-05-29

I was skeptical at first because of the cheapy plastic feel to this phone but have had it for a little over a month now and LOVE this phone! I have had NO problems with anything. I get pretty decent range (walking around outside and down the driveway) without ANY reception problems (although I've heard it's not good if you have a WIRELESS INTERNET connection, but I don't, so no problems for me!!), the volume level is perfect (and adjustable from low, med, high), the answering machine works great and the dual handsets was my MAIN REASON for purchasing this. - If you have Voice Over Internet Protocol (or VOIP), such as Vonage, you NEED a phone like this!! You can plug in the main unit to your voip/broadband modem and plug the other set (the power) anywhere in the house( No PHONE JACK required!!) ! When the phone rings you can answer either set. When you need to make a call, you can use EITHER HANDSET! That was the purpose of this design (not to have more than one person chatting on the phone at the same time) and it works great!! A MUST HAVE for VOIP (so you don't have to get another line!)
All in all, for the price and all the features you get I think it's a great little phone!

1 out of 5 stars Expensive But Horrible Quality - Beware!.......2007-12-01

I thought since this was a German product it would be smart and high quality but if Siemen's made cars they would Chrysler K-cars or Yugos at best - NOT BMW's. Aside from the completely unintuitive interface my base station display began to systematically disappear, until now, where I find myself two years down the road shopping for a new phone system because the display only has about 5 working pixels which means I can't change the message since I can't navigate the stupid menus. Yesterday it quit ringing which is sort of the icing on a very stale cake.

If you buy this phone you will be sadly disappointed in time - there's no way this company is German...

5 out of 5 stars Marvelous Product !.......2007-10-21

This thing has everything: Quality, features, design, performance. Why people have any complaints about this amazing product is beyond me.
As with all products, read the manual. Then, enjoy and explore all you can do with this system.

4 out of 5 stars A Pretty good phone.......2007-08-13

I've had this phone system for about 4 years now, and I haven't had the majority of the problems others have. The screen on the base phone has a line across it, but i am still able to see who is calling. Also the rechargers cannot recharge the phone unless I put a penny between the back of the phone and the charger.
I have gotten the cordless phones wet, dropped it in water, dropped repeatedly on the ground and never had to replace them. And I bought them refurbished!
It lacks an external antenna and the rounded shape of the ear piece make it extremely comfortable, even after hours of talk time.
The batteries last a long time, and after 4 years I still have the original ones. Since the phone requires AA, they can be changed with any you have around the house in an emergency (but take them out before you put the phone back on the charger unless they are NIMH)

1 out of 5 stars Class action lawsuit.......2007-04-18

Maybe what Siemens needs is a class action lawsuit. I also owned an 8825, same bad experience as shared by other owners.

1 out of 5 stars Terrible phone system - STAY AWAY.......2006-11-15

I bought this phone system about two years ago at the insistence of my fiance at the time (now wife) so we could combine our phone systems after we moved in together. She loved the style and features of the phone (she works from home) and I had to agree - it was attractive with nice features.

Shortly after we moved in together and combined the system, the problems began. First, one of our two base unit's display failed, then the other base unit line 1 failed (line open - cannot hang up). We used the other one to replace the mother board and it worked fine for about six months, when that mother board (again, line 1) failed again. We purchased another base set on eBay to replace the one we had, and kept some of working parts from the other two base stations just in case. Sure enough, the display began to fail, so we replaced it with the one remaining, then sure enough, the motherboard failed. By this time, we noticed it seemed to fail around the time we had power outages (fairly common in the DC area). We purchased another base station and put it on a surge protector. Maybe four months later, it failed as well, again due to a power surge and despite the fact it was on a surge protector. This unit is unacceptably succeptable to power surges. My wife and I actually had discussed that that was the last base we would purchase, but she forgot and purchased another (yes, our fifth). Died this morning, after a power outage, again.

We've also had problems with the handset. We could never get one of them to synch to a couple of the bases, and the popping & cracking from our wireless LAN is both unbelievable and unacceptable.

Tomorrow my wife is going to go out and get the Panasonic 5.8 - we've read nothing but good stuff about it, have some other Panasonic equipment, and have been very happy (actually the phone I had before the Siemens was a Panasonic, and it worked flawlessly until I accidentally dropped it in the toilet).

Bottom line - this is trash, avoid it at all costs and if anyone has the gumption to file a class-action lawsuit against Siemens under our consumer lemon laws - sign me up.

Product Description

Incorporates Telezapper technology to eliminate many telemarketing calls Caller ID with alphanumeric memory 99 name/number caller ID memory 50 name/number phonebook 30 channel operation Programmable ringer and any key answer Visual message waiting indication Headset compatible

Amazon.com Product Description

If you're continually bothered by unwanted calls from telemarketers, consider VTech's TZ2526, which adds TeleZapping technology to make your dinner hour far more peaceful. It actually disconnects most computer-generated calls and helps reduce the number of calls over time.

Given that more than 90 percent of telemarketing calls are placed with computer assistance, when either you or your answering machine answers the phone, the phone's built-in TeleZapper emits a special tone that tells the computer your number has been permanently disconnected. Telemarketing companies that use automated dialing systems typically remove disconnected numbers from their calling lists, and as your phone number is eliminated from more and more telemarketing lists, you'll notice fewer calls. Of course, not all telemarketers use predictive dialing systems, and those that do will undoubtedly continue their work to evade the TeleZapper, but it can be a partial solution.

The TZ2526's 2.4 GHz signal supplies a clean, consistent connection among 30 analog channels. With subscription to local service, caller ID can track the names and numbers of up to 99 calls. Return those calls at the touch of button, or store the number in your 50-station permanent phone book directory. VTech provides a one-year warranty.

3 out of 5 stars Telezapper is good, but phone is average.......2007-01-21

I've not had problems with the battery as other users have indicated, but I do have issues taking this phone to the other levels of my home. Our home is three floors, and when I go to other floors or to the front and back decks, the phone gets a lot of static. Our 900 mhz phones get better range than this 2.4 GHZ. I do like the Telezapper feature; it is quite nice because it does work. Of course, the best thing is to register on the do not call government registry.

I do like the keypad on it, but if the keys lit up, I would like it more.

1 out of 5 stars Bad.......2005-08-12

It's hard to hear, and if you turn it up, it gets feedback. The battery goes dead after 10 minutes of talking, and it gets worse, it beeps for the last 5 of those minutes.

1 out of 5 stars Do Not Buy This Phone.......2004-06-10

While all of the basic features of this phone work fairly well, the most important feature - the battery life - is awful. You will notice that under Product Details, the battery life information is "unavailable". This is telling!!!
Even after this phone is fully charged, I am only able to talk for about 45 minutes before the battery goes dead.

Whatever the price for this phone, it is not worth buying!

And trust me, i've had some bad phones. The sounds quality is horrible. It sounds like the person you are talking to is in a tin can about 5000miles away. The answering machine has even worse quality. I have 15 messages and I have no idea who they are from. Save yourself the trouble, never buy this phone.

5 out of 5 stars Good phone for me.......2006-12-28

Not sure why other complains but I won't. Sure it's cheap but it's pretty solid. Crystal clear voice and literally no static at all for me. Digital answering system is easy to config and use.

All in all, no complaints. Good phone for the money!

4 out of 5 stars Very Good Phone.......2005-11-02

At least to me, it proved very good phone. It has answering system. Others had voice problems, but I never had such issue. Voice quality was clear. Positive from me.

5 out of 5 stars Great Phone For Dorm.......2005-10-01

This inexpensive phone has 2 voicemail boxes and an answering machine. A good phone for a college dorm. If it gets lost,
stolen, or broken it can be easily replaced. The reception
and battery have been fine so far.

1 out of 5 stars THE WORST PHONE EVER!.......2005-07-25

This is the worst cordless phone I have ever had! I can't hear anyone that I'm talking to.

1 out of 5 stars Terrible!.......2005-06-25

I'm glad I am not crazy - I see that others have had the same problem we have had with this phone - I cannot hear the person speaking. I usually have to switch to one of our AT&T handsets to complete a conversation. Forget about anyone on a headset. In addition, for some reason this phone intefers with our wireless router more than the other 2.4g phones we have - had to turn it off to get wireless back.

We did not use the answering machine because we already have one on the AT&T2255, but what would it matter if you cannot hear the person speaking? Maybe the answerer is better - but my mom needed a new cordless answerer, and I wouldn't even give her this one because I would have felt bad for dumping it on her.

    Product Description

    Panasonic's vision of the digital future is driven by the needs and aspirations of its business customers and millions of consumers around the world who use its products every day. The company shares their dream to live a fuller life by providing ways of working smarter and enjoying the rewards of technological advances.

    Amazon.com Product Description

    Offering a range of exciting features including 2.4 GHz digital transmission, the Panasonic KX-TG2258 connects you to the outside world with a consistently clear channel and plenty of room to roam. Special Voice Enhancer technology simulates additional bandwidth, allowing human voices to sound much more like they do in person than what we generally hear over the phone.

    A three-line backlit LCD on both the handset and the base supply access to caller ID information (with subscription to the service via your telephone company). The names and numbers of up to 30 callers will be displayed, along with the date and time of the call. Additionally, this model is equipped with Talking Caller ID, which verbally announces who's on the line before you've even left the couch. And don't worry about missing your mew messages--both a visual announce light and an audible "stutter" will let you know when your voicemail has new information.

    The built-in fully digital answering system provides up to 17 minutes of messaging, or eight minutes on the best quality setting. Memo recording, remote operation, and pre-recorded outgoing messages are all included. Panasonic provides a one-year warranty covering parts and service.

    2 out of 5 stars Dissatisfied.......2004-01-23

    I am very dissapointed with the transmitting and receiving range of the phone. The reception quality begins to degrade at about 25 feet. I can not use the phone at the opposite end of my small house! The voice quality is fair to good. I have been a die-hard Panasonic fan for years but after this and a seperate purchase of an unrelated Panasonic product (alarm clock) that I am dissapointed with, I am beginning to question all their products.

    2 out of 5 stars Nice features but major hiss.......2003-11-17

    I bought this a few weeks ago and expected it to provide the same if not better quality than my old 900MHz Panasonic, which started dying prematurely after 3 years of little use, but I was surprised to find this phone to be worse than my old one. There's a constant loud hiss that can be heard when using the phone. I tested it against another 900MHz Panasonic at home and validated that it wasn't the phone line. In addition, the same loud hiss can be heard even with the intercom feature. I really like the built in lcd in the handset, which allows easy access to recently dialed numbers and a phone book but the quality of the call is more important to me than the features however nice they are; after all it is a phone! I'm not sure what to move on to now since it doesn't seem that manufacturers make 900Mhz anymore... oh well, the search continues.

    1 out of 5 stars CRAP CRAP CRAPPPPPP.......2005-04-28

    ok, first off let me just say that i have the model without the answering machine.

    ok about the feaking phone, its pure crap look else where. your better off burning your money then wasting it on this damn phone. i bought it cause it was cheap and 2.4ghz, boy what a waste. the reception on it is horrible, words cant describe the rage that runs through me when i have to constantly repeat my self and move about my room to talk to someone. the range also is horrible, the batteries dont last long at all. sad sad sad, i regret buying it and i dont recommend it one bit.

    your better off spending more money on a better phone as it will payoff.

    ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh vtech will be getting a letter from me personally about it aswell.
