Panasonic KX-TGK222 Cordless Phone with Answering Machine ( Hands Free Functionality, Low Radiation )

Product Information

At 16 hours of talktime and 200hr on standby, the battery life is standard; and the range of 100m should be big enough for most homes.

The repair of products does not apply to faults caused by commercial use, wear and tear, accidental damage, neglect, misuse, damage resulting from exposure to sand and water, or failure to follow the manufacturer's instructions. A one-touch eco-mode keeps the phone in standby until a call is received or made. The only caveat is the slightly limited talk time. At just 11 hours (and 150 on standby), this Smartphone Connect will require charging more often than non-smart rivals. In addition to caller display, there’s anonymous call silencing, and a choice of thirty selectable ringtones. Talk time is set at 14 hours, with stand-by lasting a full 320 hours. The truth is that no home phone is ever going to be mega exciting – we’re not talking cutting edge 4K TVs here; the design has hardly changed in the past ten years – so you’re looking for something that does the job at a friendly price. To my eyes, that product is the Panasonic KX-TGD622 (catchy name, isn’t it?). In the unlikely event that your product has arrived damaged by the courier, we would request you to notify them of delivery as an official notice to the carrier and advise us immediately.The KX-TGK222 also includes a number of additional features to make it even more useful. A Do Not Disturb mode ensures the phone won’t ring between set hours unless the call comes from a predefined VIP number. If you are concerned about potentially harmful radiation, then this handset also features an eco mode which can be toggled on or off. Why Should You Buy This Cordless Phone?

The most compelling reason to buy a landline, as mentioned above, is to call the emergency services during a powercut when your mobile phone is dead or out of signal but unless you’re literally a character in a horror movie, that seems like a pretty specific and unlikely set of circumstances to be in. Buying tip: Using a technology called Smartphone Connect, you can integrate your smartphone with your landline. After registering your mobile to your cordless phone base station, you can take, and make, landline calls on your smartphone. This only works with Smartphone Connect-enabled cordless phones. It’s not the only problem, either. This is the only phone I reviewed that doesn’t have an answering machine. A baffling exclusion if you ask me. Older people are the very generation who still use answering machine messages! All returned goods should include a note with the same details as required for the request for return (a printed copy of your correspondence with us to return the item will suffice).In the past internet service providers needed a landline to transfer data to and from your router. However, with fibre optic broadband becoming much more commonplace, even that necessity is dying out. Fibre optic broadband is an entirely separate kind of cabling, thus making it unnecessary to have a landline to use the internet. All in all, Panasonic seem to have covered all bases with this one. Those looking for a solid phone to sit in their kitchen will find it simple enough, and those who want something a little more elaborate will find plenty to dig into. The two-tone colour scheme keeps the design looking fresh, and unlike so many cordless phones, the display is full colour. There’s also a 150-name phonebook and an integrated answering machine with 30 minutes recording capacity. Helpfully, you can transfer the phonebook between each of the four bundled handsets; individual ringtones can be assigned to selected handsets for internal calls, and you can transfer internal calls between them.
