Decent 2 line speakerphone & answering machine, but needs improvement.......2007-12-03
Pros;
1. Better than the run of the mill 2 line speakerphone/answering machines overall,
2. Speakerphone is above average, but surely not full duplex,
3. Rubber pads on base stand prevent phone from walking,
4. Large easy to read display (but see below),
5. Large keypad (but see below).
Cons;
1. Confusing button arrangement with very small lables, some I couldn't find without re-reading the manual. 'Redial & 'Hold' are small buttons, while 'Headset' & 'Preset EQ' are large buttons at the bottom,
2. Display shows the number of incomming calls, not the number of messages. If someone retrives the new messages, anyone else looking at the display wouldn't know if there were any messages at all without going into the playback mode. Who cares about how many calls came in that were answered?
It would be nice if the display could be dimmed. The biggest issues are the poorly planed placement of all those small, hard to read buttons and the lack of a message count in the display without you accessing the playback mode.
BTW; the version of this phone without the answering machine (25204) has a different display which is very hard to read because of a different backlight setup. Stay away from that version.

Buyer Beware- Probably Slow Keypad Response.......2007-08-27
This review was originally for the TS4200B which we actually purchased, but since we suspect the same problem exists throughout the 4100, 4200 and 4300 series, the 4200B review for the 2 units we actually purchased, appears as follows:
Panasonic has a design flaw in this unit, which is unfortunate, as it is the best looking 4-line corded phone on the market and is otherwise an excellent phone. The problem is that once the hook is released (or you switch from from one line to another) when you then immediately get a dial tone, it takes approximately an additional 1.5 seconds for an audible tone to be heard from any number keys you press. You an easily press anywhere from 4 to 6 keys during this lag period, during which time you hear nothing. Then it catches up and starts dialing, although still at a slower rate than which you originally pressed the keys. Our our four lines, on the first three we kept our original, trusty FIOS lines, and on the 4th line we put a VOIP line. Same problem all lines. We had another jack where we had plugged in a new Panasonic 2-line phone (KG-TX6700) and the phone worked normally to key presses. We plugged the 4200B into the same jack, but the same delay as before occurred. We bought a second 4200B - same problem. We believe the problem probably exists on the 4100 and 4300 phones as well.
We went out a then bought our less preferred AT&T 4-line phone (Model 974) and it worked like a charm. The Panasonic problem exists on at least two types of phone networks - Verizon's FIOS (fiber optic) phone lines, as well as on Verizon's VOIP service trademarked as Verizon Voicewing. I am not sure if the problem exists on the old copper line networks, but if you try this phone, be sure to test it.
The other thing to test is how you use this phone. If you typically pick up the phone and don't dial until the phone is at your ear (i.e. as opposed to dialing immediately with the speaker phone), then you might not see this as a problem, as it takes about 1.5 seconds to get the phone off the hook and up to your ear, and by that time, the dial tones will respond immediately. However, even then, if you switch back and forth quickly between lines to get a quick dial tone - then you will have the problem.
Otherwise, great phone, but re the above - buyer beware.

panasonic phone.......2007-11-29
very nice item. works well. caller id is a plus. grat item and fair price.
Nice phone, but has problems.......2007-11-15
I just got the phone a couple days ago, and it's a nice looking phone with pretty easy to use features. The handset is solid and the keypad is comfortable. I like the lighted buttons in particular. The caller ID actually works unlike my last Panasonic phone that only stored the missed calls and didn't display the number after I picked up. The display is easy to read and using the 4 lines is very easy and intuitive.
Unfortunately I think I may have to return the unit. The problem the other reviewer mentioned about the delay in dialing is indeed irritating, but not a deal killer for me. The problem I have is that the Panasonic KX-TCA60 headset I had worked fine for my other panasonic phone, but the mic didn't work on this one. Tech Support pointed out that it's not on the list of compatible headsets for this phone. So I bought another headset that is listed as compatible. (both have standard 2.5mm jacks and are both Panasonic brand) The new headset works, but only with a mid level hissing whistle sound whenever in use. I tested the new headset on another phone and there was no problem.
I work on the phone all day and need to type and move quickly on 3 computer screens all at once. I HAVE to use a headset. And I don't want to go crazy with a hiss in my ear all day.
Also, using the speakerphone didn't work all that well. We had to sit close to it and talk into it for the caller to hear us.
The last thing I'll try before sending it back is to put a backup battery in it. The display constantly shows "Low Batt" since there was no 9 volt included and I haven't gotten one yet. Maybe, something in the circuit needs that battery even when plugged in to work properly. Yet another little irritation.

Handset set good until.......2005-10-22
I feel lucky after reading the other reviews regarding the life of this headset's battery. When I purchased my third battery thru Amazon, it lasted about 50 weeks under light use. Not bad in comparison to other reports on the same headset... At a 75 yard distance; my conversations were as clear as a bell. During its last 3 months of life, the battery could barely hold a charge for 8 minutes and the charge indicator showed full charge just before cutoff.
The main set is a very good unit. Voice calls and messages are routinely very clear. The display date and time, constantly blinks; making for an annoying and difficult to read experience.
The KX-TG2548S phone is a sign of the times. Design something for two years life and/or make products with proprietary replacement parts. Companies think they can control customer loyalty rather than support good will. Panasonic is selling their name off, at a high premium and to their customers dismay. Doesn't have to be like this, you know. Move Panasonic down your list of acceptable vendors and give another company a chance for your loyalty. You young folks don't realize how expensive cutting engineering and quality control can be, and how the 'latest and greatest' does not mean better.
Titanic Failure.......2005-01-02
After past success with Panasonic cordless phones I felt that it was worthwhile to spend the extra money and purchase this 'deluxe' unit. One thing that put me over the top was the $50 mail-in rebate at the time. In the end I paid about $100 for this phone.
Before I go over the problems I will give credit where credit is due.
-The volume on the base unit is good.
-The speaker phone is clear and as loud as you want it.
-The cordless unit has a plug in for a headset.
-There are other base unit features that somebody might have a use for. I am not sure who.
OK, now the bad parts.
-The first battery for cordless unit was toast after 10 months of relatively light use.
-The base unit is CORDED, so it has limited uses.
-You can't scan your calls from the cordless unit.
-The base unit does not work well when wall mounted. Hard to see, hard to use.
-Battery for cordless unit is impossible to find and expensive.
-Volume on cordless unit is too low when you use a headset.
-Second battery has lasted only three months after regular use.
Right now I have two options: (1) Buy another battery for this unit, (2) buy another cordless phone. Most of the negatives that I have stated above are somewhat easy to work around. I just don't expect to have to work around issues on a $170 phone. The real show-stopper is the battery (cost, availability, and life). I purchased a $35 Motorola for my mother about 18 months ago and the battery just ran out, her penchant for yacking notwithstanding. I guess that I am going to cut my losses and get a decent phone.
If you are looking for a deluxe phone, unless you can get this one for about $30, I would avoid it like the plague.
Average phone, a bit outdated for our time..........2004-10-11
It is not convinient to work with direct dialing through cordless set. There are only 3 direct dialing numbers available - should be at least 10 for our days. THE WORST THING of this phone battery in the cordless set are dying within 5 minutes. In the begining Battery was holing the charge for abt half an our. After about 6 month of using I can not make a call - battery dies as soon as I am starting to dial the number.
Worthless when the battery is always dead!.......2004-08-20
This is a very nice base unit coupled with a worthless handset. I have returned the whole system once to Panasonic and replaced the battery three times in one year. It has always been charged according to directions. Apparently, this model is the victim of short sighted engineering. Stay away unless you have a garage full of expensive batteries for the handset!
!!!CAUTION!!!.......2004-06-07
While Panasonic is consistently the most highly recommended cordless phone by electronics salespeople, this is my THIRD failure with Panasonic. While I have few problems with the corded wall mount unit, the handset has not held a charge for more than a 10 minute conversation after approximately 3 months old (after the store warrantee expired) and I am unable to say more than 'hello' on it now, before it dies out now. I have returned the phone once within the store warrantee and I have replaced the batteries twice in 2 years, which are hard to find and costly. Panasonic customer service has been neither helpful nor sympathetic to my problem. I am now researching a variety of less 'recommended' cordless phones...

Wrong phone.......2006-04-17
The phone displayed here isn't the phone they sent me. It is very similar but lacks a speakerphone. "If it seams to good to be true, it probably is".
On the up-side, Plexsupply customer service is top notch. Sending UPS to pick-up package at there own expense.
