Panasonic KXTG4500B 5.8GHz Dual Handset Cordless Phone w/Ans. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Purchased this to replace the venerable Panasonic KXTG4000B 2.4 GHz. Our primarily motivation was to move up to 5.8 GHz and avoid ever increasing number of wireless routers in our neighborhood competing for frequency in the 2.4GHz range.
GOOD -
*Much appreciated improvements include:
*Speaker phone in handsets
*5.8 GHz - reduces collisions with wireless routers
*Music on hold
*Flashing antenna on handset
BAD -
*Truly horrible omnidirectional microphone located beneath base station is STILL the only input method for attendant greetings. This is our greatest disappointment - callers are greeted with acoustically hideous greetings full of ambient noise so typical of cheap omni mikes - the kind used on camcorders.
*Solution - Flip base system over to speak clearly into omni microphone located beneath system - or put a blanket over your base station when recording your greeting - we found this the best way improve sonic quality - and ahem! Panasonic! - fix this!
CONCLUSIONS -
We are also extremely embarrassed by manufacturers choice of faux-snob British voice prompts - they are in bad taste and will likely cause us to replace this system.
Seems to me the reason for choosing a small business phone system is to improve customer experience - this will not do that.
Customers experience is compromised by
*Having to use non standard functions like adding "#" suffix to reach extension selections
*Poor voice quality of base system greeting recordings
*Ridiculously self-conscious faux-British system prompts
