Offering a range of exciting features, including 2.4 GHz digital operation, the Panasonic KX-TG2248 connects you to the outside world with a consistently clear channel and plenty of room to roam. Special Voice Enhancer technology simulates additional bandwidth, allowing human voices to sound much more like they do in person than what we generally hear over the phone.
A two-line LCD on both the handset and the base supply access to caller ID information with subscription to service via your telephone company. The names and numbers of up to 30 callers will be displayed, along with the date and time of the call. Additionally, this model is equipped for Talking Caller ID that verbally announces who's on the line before you've even left the couch.
The built-in fully digital answering system provides up to 17 minutes of messaging, or eight minutes on the "best quality" setting. Memo recording, remote operation, and pre-recorded outgoing messages are all included. Panasonic provides a one-year warranty covering parts and service.

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
The talking caller ID only gives the name and not the number, so a call from someone you know (eg MOM back in Podunk) is just like the call from the magazine salesman -- "out of area" is all you hear. You can't program the caller id to recognize the number as "MOM". Voice quality is marginal. So that people can hear your recorded greeting, you have to shout into the microphone, which is too directional. But on sale, it's worth trying as perhaps a second phone on the line.
Was a good phone back in the day when I actually had a home phone. This model is of course outdated. But heck, if they are still selling it, and you need one, buy this one.

I used to think that Panasonic products meant quality. However after buying this phone, I am very disappointed with the quality control at Panasonic. The unit looks okay but after I charged the battery and tried to set the base unit, the handset failed to communicate with the base. It kept giving the same error "No link to base. Place on cradle and try again." again and again. The manual says to go near the base, raise the antenna etc. I was trying the setup with both the units practically next to each other. Panasonic support was the worst. They couldn't help at all and wanted to insist that the unit was fully functional and it seemed like I was doing something wrong. Since the unit was purchased more than 30 days ago, I had no option other than to scrap it and purchased a Uniden phone.
The end call or hang up button does not work, but I was in immediate need of a phone with an answering service so I decided to keep it until I can find another one that can fit into a shelf that's about 10 inches high.
