Panasonic KX-TG2740 2.4 GHz 2-Line Cordless Phone

Pros: 2-Line, Stylish, Clear Sound, Digital Speakerphone, 3 Mailboxes, Walkie-Takie Feature, 6 Ringtones
Cons: No Handset Name Personalization, Somewhat Expensive, Big Antenna on Handset, Ni-Cad Batteries with included Handset

My two Panasonic cordless phones have been ailing for a while and needed to be replaced badly. They have served me well, over four years. One of the phones had developed a difficulty pressing the number 9 & 5, the other doesn't charge correctly and I get...

Pros: Attractive, many features, great handset range.
Cons: 1 hr talk, 15 hr charge, critical flaws, no headset on base.

We have owned this system for 2+ years. As noted by other reviews, the system is attractive, has many features, fabulous handset range, but suffers from MAJOR design flaws and TERRIBLE talk time. Since others have covered its many features, I'll save ...

Pros: Unbeatable handset speaker phone quality. Secure. Range. Room monitor.
Cons: I can't believe they keep selling them with the same dud batteries.

My Epinions Philosophy When I make a purchase, epinions is one of my most valuable resources for non-biased experiences and information. When I come here to research a product I read all of the reviews and the product specifications and details ...

Pros: sound quality, range, caller ID, directory xfer
Cons: NiCad batteries, weak volume, no answering machine rewind

I am writing this review after reading all the reviews both here and on Amazon’s site. I agree that the voice quality is excellent (except for volume as noted below) and there are many other really nice features, but the problems listed below, ...

Pros: Attractive. Easy setup.
Cons: Poor battery life. Horrible answering machine.

I have owned this phone for 3 years, and have always been unhappy with it. I am getting ready to replace it. The battery life is really bad. I had to go out and buy a traditional corded phone for my desk at work, because I could never talk on this ...

Pros: Voice clarity, good digital voicemail quality, handset speakerphone, expandable up to 8 handsets.
Cons: Expansion handsets are as expensive as other standalone phones, NiCD batteries are terrible.

I went through the AT&T 2255, Panasonic KX-TG2551CS, Siemens Gigaset 4015, VTech VT2461, GE 27990-GE3, and even Panasonic's own KX-TG2730 before deciding on the KX-TG2740. The KX-TG2740 is an excellent choice if you are looking for a 2-line, 2.4GHz ...

Pros: Sound Quality, Features, Multi-Tasking Base Unit, Intuitive Controls
Cons: Battery Life. (Or the lack thereof.)

After owning this system for six months, my opinion is that it's both my favorite phone ever, and th ...

Pros: Incredibly useful feature set. Great style & expandability.
Cons: PATHETIC battery life, worst ever I've seen in an expensive cordless phone. Low volume.

From way back in the '70s in Pakistan, my family always bought Panasonic products, and were rarely disappointed. A Panasonic National Quintrix color TV from then, for example, is still going strong. With generally positive previous experiences with...

Pros: Speakerphone on handset is great. Finally, "mute" on handset and speakerphone. Good phone directory.
Cons: Depending on use, you may experience poor battery life (but read here for possible solutions).

From the title, you know that I use this for my home-office, hence the need for a 2-line phone. I replaced the older 900 MHz 2-line Panasonic phone with this one. I was very nervous about doing that because my older Panasonic had a few issues with ...

Pros: Good communication and data transfer between handsets and with base.
Cons: Pricey, slow charging/fast discharging, no call screening, no spare battery charge provision

Pluses: supports multiple hand units with good communication ("find" each handset, call transfer, intercom, etc.) and directory transfer between handsets and with base unit, good clear sound and range, base unit has full directory and caller ID ...

Pros: Speaker phone w/mute function on base and handsets. Easy/professional two-line function.
Cons: No Second battery slot in base, in case of power failure.

I was looking for a 2 line cordless with all the right features. Well...I don't think that exists, but the 2740 comes closer than anyone else. There will always be the "cosmetic" issues i.e. look and feel. The most important issues to me were the...

Pros: Feature-rich Works with headset
Cons: Poor battery life Distribution of messages to mailboxes is inconsistent

I have been using this telephone for 4 months in a home office and the quality is unacceptable. F ...

Pros: Feature rich, clear, long-range system
Cons: HORRIBLE battery renders it useless.

I can't believe there are only positive reviews for this phone on epinions. Then again, look at how recent most of them are. They are probably new owners.

If you doubt what I'm about to tell you, please go to amazon.com and look at the...

Pros: The best cordless phone I have ever owned, and I have had several brands.
Cons: Battery, Battery, Battery, get the NiMH when you buy it.

I purchased this product and 3 additional handsets in August 2003. The purchase was based on several online reviews, including all the reviews in this section. I will not comment on the technical details, all the other reviews do that very well. ...

Pros: Great sound, Excellent range, Ability to transfer directories between base/handsets. LOTS of features!
Cons: A "buttony" phone, No audible alert for messages, no battery back-up for base unit.

After investing a bunch of money in the Vtech 2461 and 3 extra handsets and never being too pleased with the quality I have finally found a phone I like!
I have a workshop about 150 feet from the house and I really wanted to avoid trenching a line...
