Consumer Reports recommends that you match the features on a model to the needs you have. Here's
our take on some of the specifications and features that are commonly available on cordless phone
models like the KX-TG4011N.
Maximum no. of cordless handsets:
The manufacturer stated maximum number of cordless handsets that can be registered to a multiple handset capable phone. A phone that can support up to eight handsets, for example, can have eight handsets registered to the base, but you may only be able to use four at once, say two using handset to handset intercom, while two others conference with an outside party. Others may just allow one handset to be used at a time, so can't be used like an additional (extension) phone you have connected to the same phone line. NA represents not applicable. See Buying Advice for more information.
About This Brand
The company has long focused on mid-to-higher-priced models in every form factor. Some trademark conveniences found on Panasonic phones include Talking Caller ID, Talking Alarm Clock, and Talking Battery Alert. Some models have Bluetooth technology for linking to your cell phone service. Some models claim to be shock resistant and splash resistant, while others have large, easy-to-read buttons/LCD displays, and amplify incoming sounds. Panasonic still offers stand-alone corded phones.

When my Panasonic Digital phone died after more than 10 years of use, and at times being the only phone in the house, I knew I was going to replace it with another Panasonic. This phone is exactly what I wanted. It's affordable, easy to set up, light weight, has a contemporary look and feel, and a small footprint. I use it in my office for convenience sake, so I don't need all the flashy splashy extras that most phones offer. I have 2 other phones with answering machines, so not having it on this one was not an issue. This phone does not have a headset jack, but so what, I'll use the speaker phone if I need to. Overall, very happy with the purchase.
How long have you owned it:
