| 4 / 5 | Panasonic Cordless phone TG8222
Nick Grant "NG" (UK) - 3 January 2008 Choosing a cordless phone is fraught with difficulty due to the wide variety of choice. I chose Panasonic based on the widespread good reviews by users as they provide the most important feedback, plus it has a headphone socket, something I use. Its also DECT so clarity isnt an issue. Not sure about the black glossy look but they do look cool as Im fed up with silver electronic items I have a 3 phone setup, plugged them all in and off they went, and yes you must use the plug in wall socket lead provided, dont use the old or existing one. I dont buy BT ones anymore as they dont seem to last mechanically (buttons etc)so users reviews were helpful in directing me to Panasonic ... Read Full Review » |
| 5 / 5 | Near the best !
Soheil Mokhtari (UK) - 16 December 2007 Finally a phone which you can tell it to shut up during the night automatically!! I am using cordless phones for more than 12 years, this is one of the best. Pros: Brilliant screen resolution Very clear sound on both speaker/handset mode Easy to use Phonebook with 200 entries Very good battery life Sleep mode (turn the phone off during night on a time set by you) Many Ringtones Reasonable answering machine record time (40min) Ability to send SMS through landline phone (works with BT) Alarm clock (could be set to everyday) Cons: Screen remains on for the duration of charging There is no battery low alert Limited Wallpapers Caller lists could be better (specially with a delete all function) Shiny finish needs clean hands! UPDATE: as one user posted as comment, you can assign Phonebook contacts to different categories, and then assign each category a different ringtone. There are 9 categories in all, and you can rename them; e.g. family, work, etc... * I'm using the phone for 8 months now.... Read Full Review » |
| 5 / 5 | Just what i wanted
A. Langdon (Dartford, United Kingdom) - 29 December 2007 I have been looking for a replacement cordless phone for a while and this is absolutely perfect. It didnt work straight out of the box but this was down to me not reading the manual as i had thought i could use my existing telephone cable. I changed this and it worked fine. The menus are simple and pretty straight forward. When you create entires in the phone book on one there is the option of copying them over to the other handset. This is nice as if you want to "personalise" a handset in the house (for the kids) you can let themn store their numbers on one. If copying numbers over it only applies to names and numbers - not categories (see below for their uses). The feature that sold it to me is the "night time" which turns off the ringer between a certain time (we chose 11pm and 6). We have received rude calls late at night so have the bt call blocking feature so this adds another level of protection. You can set groups to bypass this using categories so if you bundle family into one they will be able to get through any time. Note as this is a 2 piece phone a little tinkering with the categories as these dont copy over apparently. The reception, style and easy of this use of the phone are top notch. As i have only had it for a few days i cant comment on the battery life but reading other reviews it appears to be good.... Read Full Review » |
| 5 / 5 | Ticks all the boxes
A. Mearns (UK) - 18 March 2008 This is a feature rich home phone which allows upto 6 handsets registered to the base unit which means you can use it for home/small office environment without having to wire in different line jack units. The coverage is good- the speaker phone is decent and its sleek and non imposing- as the yanks would say it doesn't take up much desktop real estate :D. Its got a mobile feel to it, is easy to set up (tooke me about 2mins) and although 200 numbers isn't much you can enter the numbers on one handset and copy to all others. The blocking feature is a nice feature (based on time of day or whether caller ID is withheld). Most public network providers now bundle text with your line rental- again another feature thats easy to use. All in all very happy with it. In the end I got it from argos as it was cheaper there ;-)... Read Full Review » |
| 1 / 5 | Faulty Panasonic TG8222E
Mr. J. Wilson (Cumbria) - 9 July 2008 I was very impressed initially but soon hit a worrying snag. I found that during a conversation, the volumn deminished to such an extent that I could hardly hear the person I was talking to. I found that a severe tap on the handset brought back the volumn to an extent but it repeatedly gave this problem. The odd thing was it affected BOTH handsets. I returned the system after a month and got a full refund. I have never encountered any problems with Panasonic equipment before, so was very disappointed.... Read Full Review » |
