PanasonicKX-TPA60 Wireless DECT Handset

For a DECT/VoIP setup it is hard to beat Panasonic. Although the slim and almost double the price KX-UDT121 offers more features and a much smaller footprint in your hand (footprint in your hand?) the TPA60 counters with easier setup, standard AAA rechargeable batteries, and a more common form factor for users of cordless phones. There is a plugin for a wired headset. This is also available on the more expensive KX-UDT121 but that handset also offers Bluetooth. Unless you really need Bluetooth and carrying a 30% larger and heavier headset will ruin your life, the KX-TPA60 offers great bang for your buck. Note that these phones require a base station to connect to VoIP/SIP - if you don't know what that is, you don't want this model Panasonic! The Panasonic TGP600 base will function as a standalone VoIP phone system with up to 8 handsets/desk (TPA65) units or you can configure to a PBX with each phone acting as an extension. The TGP600 is sold alone or paired with a TPA60 which is the way most people will buy their first one.

This item was returned. What a disappointment. Did not even turn on. Every instruction was followed to charge the battery etc. Device has so be defective, did not even turn on. In continuation of the review, item was ordered fromAnother seller, used at about a less than a month and device started to crackle the voice and so many phone calls were dropped at the business, not good . Ended up changing the entire phone system so I won’t have toBuy Panasonic kx_TPA

was able to get the phone connected to the base station with no issues.

Works great with our VOIP by ONSIP.com able to walk all over our office with no change in quality of call. Great product and repurchased more handsets to add spots.

Be prepared for A - LOT - OF - WORK.The bad:First - these don't work out of the box with Vonage Business. There are workarounds, and they do work, but MAN. Whoever designed the web interface and more importantly the management doctrine for this handset must have been insane or stupid.First of off, you need to enable the web access for the base station ON THE HANDSET! WTF? Is this to prevent all those cordless VOIP phone hackers I haven't' heard anything about ever?After that you can connect to the webpage. Don't even TRY to use a standard browser. So far it only worked on google chrome AND ONLY in incognito mode because for whatever reason, the page caches your responses and resubmits them everytime the page loads instead of only when you hit the save button.This has SERIOUSLY failed website 101.The wallpaper function is not documented at all (to change the handset wallpaper to a logo) and so therefore doesn't work. No resolution or file type requirements, and no one has a solution via rapid fire google searches.There are SO MANY FUNCTIONS on this phone that are annoying, poorly designed, or just straight up broken. And the latest firmware updates do nothing to resolve this.The good:They have good range, and some of the options are extremely high level power-user type stuff if you have the need for those.If you want basic, easy to use. I recommend steering clear of panasonic.

works great

I have 2 of these phones and the one that really never got used that often started making a buzzing noise and will not work. I tried replacing battery and that did not work. Stopped working in less than 2 months from receiving it. Choose a better product or buyer beware. Asked about warranty and can not get an answer from anyone. Already got rid of the box so I guess I am stuck with a paper weight.

Very clear audio.
