Cingular Go Phone: Panasonic KX TG1034PK - Cordless phone w/ call waiting caller ID & answering system - DECT

(Re: Previous negative post......)
These phones, as the other user reported, have some foo-foo features like multiple ring tone selections and a plethora of menu-driven options; that said, however: I am very favorably impressed with their performance as PHONES. They are perfectly clear, having no competition on their 1.9GHz "cordless phone exclusive" frequency. The range isn't as good as my old Tropez DSS phone, but these work on 250MW which seems to be the norm these days. Forget the DSS cordless phones that worked a couple of blocks away, they're history. Europe and Australia allow more RF output, but seems as if the good 'ol USA has more stringent FCC RF limits.
.
These phones also have the advantage of requiring 2 AAA Mi-MH instead of a dedicated battery pack. Makes it much easier to: [1]Replace batteries, [2] Have 'spares' aavailable if they go dead.
.
The line-of-sight range seems to be about 200 feet. Put walls and/or (particularly) aluminum siding in the way and it's down to much less. I have no problems within my 4 level 1400sq. ft. shack, however. These are the best cordless phones yet, aside from my 8 year old Tropez, which died several years ago. 2.4GhZ? Forget it! Screws up all wireless connections, P.C., headphones, etc.5.8 GhZ?Work fine. DECT 6.0 1.9GHz? The way to go!
