This is a superb phone that is light, smart, full of functions and most importantly works well as a phone, with clear voices.

One previous review stated you cant turn the speaker off, well you can, just press the green call button to turn it off during a call. Reading the instructions will show you just how much this phone does.

All in all a great purchase, i would never return to a BT cordless phone again.Panasonic KX-TG8422EB Colour DECT Twin Phone With Answer Machine - Black

We got these to replace older BT Synergy phones we had for some years. The Panasonic phones have better speaker quality, a great colour screen on each phone, Up to 200 numbers in memory - more than we'll ever use. And you can transfer stored numbers from one phone to the other. The only slight problem is that the display screen can quite bright by the bed at night - but you can alter the display to different colours. Overall - great.

Got this recently as I had to have the much needed answerphone feature. We already had an older Panasonic (Model KX-TCD755E) and were very happy with it. Excellent battery life, sturdy, reliable, loads of features is what I had become used to. The new phones have a similar pedigree although are much lighter, a bit more plasticky with cheap looking silver bits bolted on. I was willing to live with this as there are other redeeming features such as better buttons and clearer LCD colour screen. The firmware is more or less the same as the earlier model, which made it easier for me to set up. The SMS Text feature only works on BT Line. If you are connected to Virgin Cable - forget it. One major drawback though is the operation of the hands-free speakerphone. For some strange reason it is unable to be deactivated during a call. Once you turn it on - it's on until you hang up. It's a bit of an own goal on behalf of Panasonic as the speakerphone feature on the older models were switchable during calls. I often use hands-free when I'm put in a caller queue as it allows me to make a cuppa while waiting. In the past I would run in and revert to normal use once the Musak stopped and a real person came on the line. I now have to adopt one of those Apprentice poses and clearly enunciate my vowels!

smooth purchase and delivery. excellent product. definitely good value for money. easy to set up and use. night mode particularly useful. only negative is that the colour screen is nowhere near the quality of mobile phones...but that is just nitpicking.

Having left our old Panasonic phone (some 10yrs old) on the bonnet of my landi leaving my husband to retrieve it from the central reservation of the nearby dual-carriageway, this was a bit of an emergency purchase. (The phone did still work - just couldn't hear very well!!). The new one arrived ahead of schedule at 8.30pm (thanks Amazon and Citylink man). I read everyones reviews and decided yep BT phones are useless (got a basic plug in thing that makes me sound as if I am at north-pole) and decided to go Panasonic again. Some people write really boring reviews, getting excited about functions the rest of us are far to busy to bother with, so for the practical amongst us, some core details: easy to set up without actually reading the instructions; looks fine; not major ringtones (but who cares it rings!); - and usable in half an hour. Probably could cook dinner for me if I was interested but does the usual stuff with ease. Whats more when I phoned poor husband to celebrate new phone, could hear the conversation on the next table to him (if I didn't listen to him...!)the sound is that clear.
