Panasonic KX-TG1033S Digital Cordless Phone with Three Handsets - 1 x Phone Line(s) - Headset Jack - Silver

I purchased this phone for my 80+ year old parents. My mother had no problem setting it up and figuring out how to use it. Reception is great, except we haven't figured out how to eliminate the feedback that occurs when used with a hearing aid. Anyone else have this problem?

This phone is piece of crap at a bargain. You cannot hear a blessed thing the person on the other line is saying. You pay for what you get and it's CRAP. Don't buy it.

Great phone, especially for the price. There are quite a bit of different rings to choose from and the intercom feature is nice for when you are feeling lazy. I am very happy with my purchase!

The battery life, lack of interference and range all appear to be as advertised. I really like the expandability feature and the little things like being able to check messages from the handset, paging missing handsets and being able to use the system almost like an intercom.

Have had product about 3 weeks now. Very easy to use and set up. Like the large number pad, and the feel of the phone easy to hold. Great having the 50 # phone book.

This system has been great. I really like being able to screen calls from any of the 3 handsets and only needing one phone jack is great. I've been able to put a handset in a room that wasn't previously wired for phone. Build quality seems adequate and reception and signal quality is great. It's a very nice system for the money. I got it for 85.00 with free shipping.

These phones are crystal clear. The Dect 6.0 operates at a lower frequency ~1.9 Ghz which doesn't have any computer interference and gives you much greater distance then the 5.8 Ghz phones, since frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional. You can check your answering machine from any of the handsets and you can transfer the saved phone numbers between handsets. One of the best features though is the ability to pick up more than one handset at the same time. Most of these handset systems force you to press a transfer button to alert the other handset and then someone else can pick up. This unit doesn't restrict you that way and it still allows you to use the handsets at intercoms throughout the house.

I like the phones and the way you can copy the address book to the various handsets. High volume isn't quite loud enough for the speaker phone, and I hear pretty well! Otherwise, I'd say the sound is clear, no crackling. Nice keypad, decent features.

I had an array of cordless phones in my home with assorted features and manufacturers. With time, some broke, others no longer held their charge and discontinued replacement batteries and one was even tone deaf resulting in numerous wrong numbers. But the oldest unit, a Panasonic I'd purchased 12 years ago, was as reliable as the day I purchased it so I added this KX-TG1033S unit and am amazed at the range, options and price. Three phones and I only need one jack...go figure. I'm sold on this product. The vendor was superior, as well.

Had good cordless phones with no problems til got a wireless router for WiFi DSL Internet access. The squeals and squeeks were horrible. The DECT system has fixed this problem. Nice features include easy copying of entered phonebook data from one handset to the next. The rechargable AAA batteries are another smart move. Setup was easy.

<p>I purchased this for my mother about six months ago. My mother, who is 73 years old and visually impaired, has not had any trouble using the keypad with its larger buttons, and she says the telephones are very loud and clear. I tend to agree: they do have exceptional clarity on both ends, and the wireless signal seems immune to outside interference. She also likes the intercom feature, which lets her ring the other handsets in the house if she needs help. Battery life is great. She says she can carry the phone around with her for days and the indicator hardly ever drops below "full", even if she talks a lot. When she had some medical issues the phones got a workout as the rest of the family would call to check on her, and my sister said the battery on one of the headsets dropped to 75% once. Not enough to be a concern.</p> <p>The only complaint I have about this telephone is that each handset maintains its own directory. If you store a phone number in one handset's directory you won't see it on the other handsets, UNLESS you copy the directory to the other handsets. I'll hand it to Panasonic for at least making that an option, but I think it would make more sense for all the handsets to share one directory, so that you don't have to go through the gyrations of copying the directory to the other handsets each time you update it.</p> <p>All in all, this is a great product, especially for the price. A little over a year ago I paid almost twice as much for the four-handset version (I bought at a nearby electronics superstore), and near as I can tell my phones do not have any additional features over this set.</p>

I have always had good experiences with Panasonic cordless phones, and decided to stay with this brand. This three-handset system is nearly perfect. The features, DECT advantages, and performance are excellent. Another nice feature is the use of "AAA" rechargeable NiHD batteries - easily available should replacements ever be needed. No more searching for a difficult to find and overpriced replacement battery pack. There are only 2 very minor shortcomings: the answering machine does not list the total number of calls (only a messsage indicator light), and the keypads are not lighted. Since the handsets indicate the number of calls, and the keys are large, this is not much of a shortcoming. Overall, this is a great system in features, performance, and value.

This phone does everything I hoped it would. Handsets are clear, distance from the base is excellent and it doesn't interfere with any of the other wireless devices in the house.
