Amazon.com Product Description
An expandable cordless system that's ideal for large homes or small businesses, the Panasonic KX-TG2382B includes an additional handset and charger that you can station in a different room from the main hub; one additional handset (for a total of three) is supported as an add-on option. Each handset can connect to another for use as an in-house intercom, and includes a backlit and three-line LCD that provides access to call waiting/caller ID information (with subscription to local service). Thirty names and numbers may be stored and redialed at the touch of a single button, while a separate 30-station phonebook gives access to your most frequently dialed numbers.  | | Hang your phone up on the base (facing up or down) or the included charger--either one will charge your phone whenever you're not using it. | Three-way conference calls are available via a single button. When the battery starts running low, you'll know instantly, thanks to the indicator light on the LCD. Each handset is supplied with a digital duplex speakerphone, permitting hands-free calls with none of the annoying echoes of earlier speakerphone models. The base incorporates a digital answering system with 15 minutes of message recording time. Simple controls allow you to listen, save, and delete messages easily. You'll have full remote access, complete with toll saver, which prevents long distance charges from accruing when you dial in from across the country and there are no messages. The handsets use the 2.4 GHz frequency with digital spread spectrum technology, which "skips" constantly through a range of available channels to reduce interference and to provide improved security against eavesdropping. Panasonic includes a one-year warranty covering parts and service. What's in the Box
Two handsets, two NiMH batteries, one base station, one remote charger stand, two AC power supplies, one telephone line cord, two belt clips, instructions, warranty information .

  Very reliable phone July 11, 2007
I have had this phone system for over three years and have never had any problems.
Second Panasonic and Pleased June 23, 2006
This my second Panasonic system and this one works as well as the first. Long range coverage to about 100 feet, clear transmissions, reliable, full featured. I have used this system on both a copper wireline (Verizon) and Internet connection (Vonage) and both are solid.
 Great phone system February 12, 2006

I bought the first Panasonic KX-TG2382B system about 2 years ago as a replacement for a Panasonic 900Mz. No complains. In June 2005 I lost one handset on our pasture and I could not find it anymore. So I bought a replacement handset and this one worked fine, too. All features. I thought about getting more handsets to have 4 phones available, so I bought a used system (base and handset) through an auction and spread the phones out in the house and feed-room. On these used handsets two keys don't work correctly, this comes with buying used stuff (my own fault), but for picking up calls they do fine. After seven months of Texas heat and even some rain I found the lost handset on the pasture again with minor scratches from our horses probably playing with it. I cleaned it from some dried up mud and charged it up again and the next day it worked again like it was brand new. Now I have 5 phones of this brand and system hooked to one phone line and I am very satisfied with it.
 Panasonic is disappointing?!! Afraid so February 8, 2006

The Panasonic KX-TG2382B telephone system and KX-TGA230B companion are SO disappointing I wouldn't think of reselling them.
Pros: Price isn't bad. Extended warranty available but don't bother, you won't wish to keep it that long. Very good range; ours works from four houses away.
Cons: Batteries die all the time, even when the meter says two bars are left (we've read the manual and we do charge them correctly). When using the redial function this Panasonic dials the area code along with the seven digit number. You can imagine what happens when the number you're dialing is local.
Speakerphone function works only on simplex, rather than duplex. This is absolutely the worst thing about this telephone. You will want to use the speakerphone, but whoever you're talking to will NOT be able to hear you attempting to speak because the KX - TG2382B hasn't the capability to pick up your voice when a signal comes in from the other party. Very, very, irritating.
No Problems In 1.5 Years December 21, 2005

Perhaps other readers got a bad batch, but I have not had any problems with this phone. I purchased mine over a year and a half ago, and am still using the original batteries that came with the phone. I am very careful to drain the batteries completely before placing the handsets on the chargers, and never leave them on longer than necessary. I've never had calls dropped, and all the buttons work fine. Speakerphone volume is great, features are good, sound quality is great. I have probably received the "Move closer to base" message 3 times, but only once since I moved into my house 3 months ago. Every time I just wiggle the antenna or unplug the power cord, and the message is gone when I plug it back it. The base is on the ground floor, and I can use the phone in the basement or second floor with no problem. I am satisfied, and looking now to add the third handset.
