Panasonic KX-TGE262 Link2Cell Expandable Cordless Phone with Amplified Volume, 2 Handsets, Silver

2016-11-18T19:00:00

After installing this phone, I decided to throw away all old phones. I threw away six sets of Panasonics covering 23 years. I donated other P. phones to charities. Due to that, I realized that in several years I will need a new phone. I will try to change brands. I cannot see the symbols under #1. In six days the keys have been affected by my nails. I need to get the manual out to try to learn about more features. I am too old to be this challenged! At the top of this survey I was only able to get the blue bar to move to the lowest setting. That took 20 minutes. I could not get it to move further right. Sorry.

excellent phone system-have tried others but this system has a clear voice sound, easy to assemble and record voice message. Highly recommend.

Good, clear reception. Comfortable to use. Have not linked to bluetooth -- unnecessary feature for my use. Only complaint so far is that messages on the answering device can only be individually deleted from the base unit. The only message deleting from the handsets is all messages at once. In contrast to another review on this site, I DID get human support in the form of a live chat and very quickly.

I have followed -- and double checked -- the instructions and linked my cell to the phone -- I know the linkage worked b/c my contacts fully uploaded. However, I can't get the handsets to ring when the cell is called ... and that was my main reason for buying the set. I wanted to be able to get calls even when my cell is charging on another floor. The main frustration is that there is no way to get human support. The only support is an automated system that answers only the most basic questions

Feature rich, and high tech. Bought because of the link to cell feature. I like that you can program it to be silent during your choice of hours. Unfortunately the sound quality isn't excellent, and I get odd feedback noise if I laugh or speak loudly into the handset. It does seem sturdy, and there's tons of storage for programmed numbers. Overall a 3.5 star phone

This phone is great, it is clear, and easy to use. The range works well for my apt and able to go through thick walls.

This phone was very easy to set-up & program. The audio caller ID is a nice feature as is the link to cell phone feature. I was looking specifically for the calling pager feature which this phone has. I am very pleased with the purchase of this phone system

I haven't used a lot of more advanced features, like Link to Cell. I like the sound quality, and it seems to ring a lot louder than my old Panasonic phone. The display is bright. It also allows you to block up to 250 numbers (telemarketers and other rotten callers) - my old one only blocked 20, which was used up right away. I did disable the Talking Caller ID - very annoying.

Panasonic makes one of the few phone systems left with the headset Jack. Call me a dinosaur, but I like to use the headset! Range is great, sound is clear and crisp, buttons are easy to find and use. Also just love call blocking features. Doesn't waste my time running to phone for worthless calls. Belt clip works nice and snug. If I could suggest anything, it would be to darken the display a bit. Thanks Panasonic for a great product!

I have had my prior set of Panasonic Phones for around 10 years and they have been awesome. They recently wouldn't stay charged and instead of replacing the batteries again, I decided to purchase these. I have not tried any of the features such as link to cell so I am anticipating that but cannot comment yet, but I do feel the sound quality is not nearly as good as my prior phones. I will update my review once have more experience with these phones and use some of the features. They also do not seem as user friendly but I need to spend more time exploring what all they can do. But sound quality to me should be the most important feature on a phone.

Not as good as my 12 year old phone, but very decent for my Profound High Frequency Hearing Loss. I bought a higher priced model two years ago, and cannot hear speech on it. This one is much better.

Panasonic hits the mark again. This is my third set from this phone line, and all three have proven to be the most durable, long lasting phones I've owned. The simplistic design yet robust features are some reasons why I prefer to stick with this brand. Nice, easy-to-use interface and overall great quality. The price is just right and anyone looking to replace an older phone will be pleased with the KX line of phones.

I love this phone! It completely makes a home phone unnecessary even if you don't have cell service at home. The bluetooth feature connects to your cell phone when you come home and works just like a regular phone without the phone company!

I have poor hearing, and have trouble hearing over most phones, and cell phones. This set of phones helps me hear conversations better, and because I can use it with my landline and my cellphone, it is a great convenience for me. I have another set of Panasonic cordless phones which I have used for years, but many times I cannot hear adequately with some callers. This new set is a big gain in that category.

I ordered this and it arrived promptly but it didn't work correctly. I contacted Panasonic who talked me through troubleshooting with no luck. They directed me to send it for repair, but I didn't like that idea so I asked for a replacement rather than a repair. Panasonic agreed, sent me a return label and after they got my return, I received new phones. The second set worked just fine. I like being able to leave my cell in one room and answer calls in another. Especially useful when my cell needs charging. I like that it plays a tone so I know when a text message comes in. I thought I liked that it downloaded all my contacts...until I tried to find one in 400. I'm still learning some of the features, but so far so good. A good convenience item for the money.

I spent time reviewing this type of product t replace an ATT phone system. This one had the right features and the price was great. I ordered mine through Panasonic. I like the headset jack in the handset. From the people to whom I talk, my voice comes across loud and clear. The biggest issues I have is getting my bluetooth headset (Plantronics) to work wit the landline handsets. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. So I just chalk that up to being quirky and attached a corded headset to the handset.

Just received my phones and are still learning the features. Like the volume and weight of the phone.

Bought these phones to replace our old Panasonic phones that we had for years. These are much brighter and easy to read. My wife and I are 70 or over and need good displays and these have them. They have call blocking and up to 150 numbers that was the main reason we got these. They have several functions that we will never use but the price was right. Better more than less. Only con is the text in the Operating Instructions is tiny and tons of codes. But with a magnifying glass and a little reading most question / problems have been solved. Love these phones. Do not hesitate to get you a set!

I found the phone to be high quality but some operating instructions were confusing. 1 Setting customized ring tone for Home group on all phone. I set one phone but not other two 2 Setting and viewing Call Block numbers. This is one of the primary reasons I purchased this phone 3 Mixing instructions on 2 models not good I would like to see detail instructions for Items i and 2 without all the ifs and but

One of the advertised features was "hearing aid compatible" indicating this item would be good for the hard of hearing. Not so. Can't increase ringer volume to a high level to be heard in another room by the hard of hearing. Does not function well with hearing aids. Phone may have to be replaced for these reasons. Would like to hear explanation from Panasonic.

Instructions for using are incomplete and in a few features they were incomplete. Volume is still too low to be audible if TV is on even though the phone is set to highest level. No capability to hear and review incoming message selection - still don't know what message is being heard by caller.

These phones have excellent call clarity, volume levels, volume adjustments, battery life, signal strength(distance from base unit), abundant features more than any other home phone I have seen or used. If you have normal hearing the volume all the way up will be TOO loud for you to be comfortable with. Speaker phone quality is as good as can be expected from any of these cordless phones, it is completely functional and what you here is flawless but it can break up at times for whomever you're speaking to. The Link-2-Cell works flawlessly as does Call Block, integrating your cellular phones phone book into these cordless phones. The handsets are attractive as well, which I was not anticipating from the pictures on the website. Literally PANASONIC, don't change, discontinue or modify this design as it does not get any better and you will end up screwing something up!

Very good looking phones and easy to use but the best feature is the crystal clear voice with no background noise. I have some hearing loss and this phone is better than my land line phone from a well known hearing impaired phone manufacturer!

Menu system a little complicated with cell phone options (I don't use it with the cell.) Can't delete recordings from the handset (at least, I couldn't figure it out.) I couldn't seem to delete numbers from the phone book--the option didn't appear. It was easy to do with my TG7621. Overall excellent sound quality, both in speaker phone mode and regular mode. Easy to adjust volume.

Great Phone, love the 250 call block and the 2 link2cell Bluetooth. I just have one problem with Panasonic saying KX-TGHA20B is an additional handset for the phone at the bottom of the page. I ordered one and had to send it back when it would not link to the base phone.

Fast shipping. Phones were easy to install and set up was quick. No issues so far. Phones are well built and have lots of features. Great purchase!
