 Great Phone October 23, 2007
Kevin Stoohs (NY)
I just replaced my old Panasonic cordless which lasted about ten years, it still works, but the buttons were begging to go. I like having three phones in the house one in the bedroom, office, and living room. They sound great with cool ring tones to choose from. the speaker phone works great! The menus are a little hard to navigate but you get use to it.

Good product, good buy... Recommend it; it has good call quality and reception, range is average but enough for a medium house.
 Nice Phone - best in years But... October 20, 2007

I bought 2 kx-TG1033s and linked them all to one base. The sound quality is great. Finally a phone that works with my computer network and has the range to go all over my house (upstairs and downstairs). I love the intercomm feature. The positives written here are true.
BUT.. the speaker phone is useless for others to hear clearly. It drops words if your not right on top of the phone. The caller ID takes a long time to show-up if it every does before 4 rings (seems to be for calls not in your directory). This caller id feature worked better before we started adding alot of our phone numbers into it. I really would like the buttons to be backlit.

I love so many things about this phone:
* Great value for base unit and three handsets (expands to up to 6).
* We had new phones installed and working in less than 10 minutes.
* Good ergo design lets you cradle phone between shoulder and chin.
* Large number pads for clumsy fingers.
* LED lights up for use in the dark.
* Record and pick up messages using any handset (not just the base).
* Screen calls from anywhere in the house (as long as a handset is with you, you hear a message being left).
* Good range -- I am able to talk over 100 feet from the base unit.
* Zero interference (so far) and excellent clarity on incoming calls.
* Very long battery life both in talk mode and in standby mode.
* Easily store numbers and transfer them to *all* handsets from menu.
* Handsets all have a speakerphone, which sounds very clear.
* Handsets all have a clock and caller ID display.
* Phone menu easy to figure out (don't really need the manual).
* Message indicator setting is a neat feature; light on phone flashes for new message.
* Handsets display message when you missed a call.
* Great intercom system lets one phone call any other in the house.
* You can leave handsets on the charger at all times; won't affect battery life.
Only negatives I have found so far, in 3 months of daily use:
* Even if you have 3-6 handsets, only two can talk at one time to an outside caller.
* Sometimes calls placed from our phone to others sound faint. Call recipient has to turn up volume of their handset.
For the price I paid and the value I received, I would buy the Panasonic KX-TG1033S cordless phone system again in a heartbeat.

Mine arrived a couple days ago. I don't have vast experience with remote phones, but have previously owned a Sony remote for many years. Then a Radio Shack remote for a few years. Pleased with both, but the Shack went under so I bought this...based on a Consumer Reports review and the user reviews on Amazon. Both have been fairly reliable guides in the past.
Setup is easy. Basic features are fine. Haven't tested the extremes of range but that seems fine too. I especially like being able to share a conversation on up to 3 handsets.
I do miss one feature of the Radios Shack phone very much....thought it was commonplace nowadays but apparently not. The RS phone had a wide variety of great musical ring tones which you could meld with particular numbers calling in...so you could tell who was calling just by the Beethoven Ode to Joy theme or any of many other etceteras. None of that on this phone.
Now to the sound of voices on calls. Substandard. Very poor. Much worse than either the Sony or Radio Shack phone....to a really irritating degree. And all the handsets sound the same both in normal and speakerphone operation. Not good. No static present but lots of "grunge". Anything but clear. Very disappointing. One star by modern standards.
It arrived in fine time from Electronics EXPO (via an Amazon order). Well packed BUT the base power source was already plugged in, which is very unusual. So I might have received one that had already been returned once before. No way to be sure. Returning it pretty much a main pain for me, but I might do that.
Now I realize this is at odds with the testimony of many others - so it is more than a little possible I received a unit that is defective in one way or another. I ordered a 25 foot run of phone line cable so I can try setting the base in another location. Will add a comment later if that improves the sound at all.
May grit my teeth and keep this phone. It's adequate for my needs. But I sure wish it even began to have the voice clarity other folks have experienced.
