Amazon.com Product Description
The Panasonic KXTC1503 combines digital technology with easily operable features, resulting in an excellent value. 900 MHz digital operation offers better clarity and longer range than traditional analog phones that operate in the 43-49 MHz band, while 22-channel autoscan selects the frequency with the least interference. Plus, a speakerphone permits hands-free conversations. The all-digital answering machine stores up to 15 minutes of date/time-stamped messages and supports remote retrieval so that you can check your messages while you're away from home. The unit comes with a pre-recorded answering message, or you can record your own. The new message playback feature plays back only those messages you haven't already listened to, while a two-line LCD panel lets you know how many messages are in your in-box. Instant call interrupt allows you to verify the caller and then pick up the handset even after the machine has already answered. Other answering system features include a toll saver, slow-talk message playback, and voice prompts. The extra-long-life battery can handle up to 6 hours of talk time and up to 14 days on standby without recharging. A 10-station speed dialer is provided for those numbers you call the most. Two-way paging/automatic intercom means you don't have to spend time looking for that pesky handset. Both ringer and handset volumes can be toggled between three volume levels and you can also select between tone and pulse dialing. Flash and redial buttons are included, and the positive charge self-cleaning battery contacts ensure efficient (and therefore shorter) recharging time. The phone is easily wall-mountable and comes backed with a one-year warranty that covers parts and service.

Easy to setup and use! No unnessesary bells and whistles. Great speaker phone feature in the handset!! A definite improvement over other brands. No other brand that I researched was ranked higher.

In the past 3 weeks, I have returned 4 phones (2 Uniden, GE, & Vtech). For this price range, I have found this phone to be superior to the other 4 that I had purchased. Uniden had the easist set-up and menu system by far, but everything else goes to the Panasonic (reception, clarity, digital recordings, range, etc.)This 900 mhz phone actually performs better than 2 of the other 2.4 ghz phones that I bought. The only thing that I which it had was a lighted message display like all the other phones on the market. It could also use a ringer on the base unit. I would certainly recommend this phone for the money. FYI, the Vtech 2468 was the worst of the bunch.

Although this phone has decent features for a low price, the sound quality is lacking. Ever since I received this phone as a gift over a year ago people talking to me wondered if I was speaking through a cell phone, or if I was receiving another incoming call. A lot of conversations sounded choppy or broken to either party, sometimes forcing an early end to long distance calls. Another reviewer mentioned that he was able to get range of up to 50 meters, mine got nowhere near that, and this model did not include backlit #'s either. I leave the handset on the charger a majority of the time, so battery life issues haven't surfaced. Otherwise, the answering machine and speakerphone work well and would have raised the overall rating to 4 stars if not for the inconsistant sound quality.
Bad voice quality... January 23, 2003

This phone has the typical Panasonic characteristics: good looking, solid feeling, feature rich, and good worksmanship. However, this model uses digital transmission, probably a ADPCM-based digital vocoder, so voice will "clip" and fade in and out from time to time when it is hit with radio interference. Also, it takes a few seconds for the ADPCM vocoder to "adapt" to the radio interference to adjust modulation, which is to clear up voice. It's pretty irritating when part of your voice is chopped... On a good note, the answering machine works great and sounds very clear. One last thing, Panasonic removed "rapid charge" feature from the 2002 product line up, so it will take 15-17 hours to charge up a battery that lasts 5 hours.
 Not pleased at all... November 22, 2002

I have a panasonic cordless set I've been using for quite some time which works great, so when I decided to get another panasonic set for another room, I decided on this on. I'm not sure what happened here, either I bought a defective phone or Panasonic has really lowered the bar on quality performance. When dialing a number, usually right after dialing, it'll ring right away, however, this set, it makes several sounds, as if it's connecting to something, like an internet (?) and it takes about 3-5 seconds to "connect", then it starts the actual ringing. The volume on this set [need help] as well. There are only 3 levels, super low, low and ok. Don't they know some people have hearing problems?! And the ring to this set is annoying. It sounds retarded, not like other phone sets. And the ring volume, there's only two levels, super low or rediculously high. However, the major complaint I have with this set is you can't dial any number over 10 digits. For example, you dial the credit card company and then they ask you to punch in your credit card number, you punch it in and well, the phone thinks that you're dialing an actual phone number, so it'll make that "connecting" noise and it'll just keep on doing that, getting you nowhere so eventually, you're forced to hang up and maybe try again and get nowhere again. Luckily, I have another phone for cases like that. Overall, the price you pay on this phone is not even worth it. Even if it was free I wouldn't take it. Stay away from this phone. If I could give it a zero rating, I would.
