Panasonic KX-TG5100M 5.8 GHz DSS Expandable Cordless Phone with Answering System Note: Panasonic is discontinuing its popular 5100 series. Check out the newer 5200 series instead, like the Panasonic KX-TG5240M GigaRange Supreme 5.8 GHz DSS Expandable Cordless Phone with Answering System.
A 5.8 GHz DSS cordless phone from Panasonic, the KX-TG5100M provides both excellent quality and a number of useful features, including an integrated digital answering system and caller ID with call waiting compatibility. By utilizing the less congested 5.8 GHz frequency and digital spread spectrum technology, the KX-TG5100M offers clear, intelligible reception even at a distance. Multiuser expandable, the KX-TG5100M supports up to seven optional handsets (plus one included, for a total of eight) and features handset-to-handset call transfer, as well as two-way intercom between the base and any of the handsets. A call privacy feature lets you determine if other handsets can join in on the conversation, while the page feature makes locating a lost handset into a snap. The KX-TG5100M features 50 caller ID memory locations and a built-in speakerphone for hands-free operation.
Wall-mountable, freeing up valuable desktop space, the KX-TG5100M is also headset compatible (a belt-clip is provided) saving your neck from the strain of cradling the phone. The integrated three-mailbox digital answering system has a record time of up to 15 minutes, while remote message check lets you stay in touch even while you are away. The NiCad battery provides about 4.5 hours of talk time and 11 days of standby, while a low battery indicator lets you know when the phone needs recharging. A time/date stamp lets you know when each message was received, and a 50 number phone directory lets you easily find and dial the most frequently used phone numbers. The KX-TG5100M also comes backed with a one-year limited warranty.

Customer Review: Panasonic KX-TG5100M 5.8 GHz DSS Expandable Cordless Phone with Answering System
The Panasonic KX-TG5100M 5.8 GHz DSS Expandable Cordless Phone with Answering System is JUNK. I owned one previously to the one I just purchased and I threw it away, I love the Features but the handsets never work. I wouldn’t recommend anyone to buy this product. I did return the Item and received a refund but lost $20 in S&H charges.
Customer Review: hevykevy
I’ve owned the KX-TG5100M for three years now with a total of four handsets. Sure, I had to replace the original batteries after the first year ($70 for four NiMhs from Panasonic), but otherwise I’ve had no other problem with it. I’ve used the intercom feature on it a lot to talk to family members on different floors, and we’ve even used one of the handsets in a “baby monitor” fashion (while in the charging cradle even!) with out any problems. My only disappointments are, that the base unit’s speaker phone has no mute function and that the handset’s speaker phone function won’t work while it’s sitting in the charging cradle. Having skimmed most of the previous reviews, my comments are: I live in N. Illinois where there lightning storms and you absolutely need to use a surge protector on BOTH the AC line AND the telephone line (in the past I’ve lost at least one base unit [different makes], and in another case I had to replace the surge protector, which saved the telephone base unit I might add [much cheaper], after a nearby lightning strike took it out); also, when you buy an additional additional handset, you have to place it in cradle on the base unit for a few moments (assuming the new handset’s battery has been fully charged!) in order for the base unit to “recognize” the new handset. e.g.[ASIN:B000NCTIE4 Cordless Phone Surge Protector]]
