PANASONIC KX-TG 9150 DECT PHONE WITH WIRELESS SKYPE ADAPTER REVIEW
This telephone system exceeded my expectations. The sound is crystal clear and far better than any other cordless phone I have used hitherto. The pre-recorded answer phone message telling callers you are not available is done by a wonderfully cheerful voice, not as impersonal as with most other answer machines, and some callers already have commented very positively about this welcoming experience.
I like the idea that the choice of ringtones also includes the option of assigning short voice messages to up to 20 numbers. For example, when I now ring home from my mobile phone, there is not just a ringtone, but also the announcement Regards Mrs. Rose Lees The PC setup was straightforward. For calling abroad the quality of the Skype calls is better than the dialed access calls, although it costs a little more. Of course calling another Skype user is free.
The phone received a good review in Which. The phone is easy to use and has plenty of useful features e.g. you can listen to messages o both the handset and the base station. The base station flashes when there are new messages. If you use 1571 then this takes a message if you are on the phone. Regards John Rutter I am delighted with the quality of this product, the sound quality is superb and the whole system is extremely easy to set up and use. The intercom and conferencing capabilities are a major step forward from our old system and even our biggest technophobe can find a missing hand set.
The Skype capability will, in the future, greatly reduce our phone bills, so the system will eventually pay for itself. this will be sooner rather than later thanks to Ligo's price level. Regards Frank Surprisingly for such a well-specified product, set-up was fairly simple and intuitive. Sound quality is excellent, the handsets are light and comfortable and the only problem with the answerphone part is the annoying accent on the default greeting. The Skype out phoning is generally good though a couple of times the receiving phone could not hear me. This is a Skype or TCP/IP problem and not a phone problem.
Regards John excellent phone excellent service
Regards Mr. derrick miller I bought these phones for my 87 year old father and I am very pleased with them. He really likes the audible call facility but it would be better if all handset numbers could be put on this instead of about 20. He found them a bit complicated to use at first but is getting used to them. The instruction manual could be better and is a bit puzzling at times. I would certainly buy the phones again for myself when my slightly earlier models wear out (I'm very pleased with them too). The service from liGo has been excellent and I would definately use this company again.
Regards John Thank you for the excellent service and prompt delivery of my recent purchase of telephones. I have no hesitation in recommending your company to others.
Regards Mr. Kenneth Madderson Phone itself is as advertised although the use of SMS is significantly more complicated than is evident from the description. It is very clear both visually on the screen and audibly through the earpiece and answerphone although the menu can be a bit fussy to work through. My only real complaint is that there is no warning whatsoever in the specification provided online that the Skype adaptor only works with Windows and as a Mac user is therefore largely useless to me unless I resurrect my 5 year old PC for this purpose - so fellow Mac users beware!
Regards Dr. Chris Tydeman Great product, so simple to set up, a wealth of features probably the best phone I have ever used. Ligo's service was outstanding delivery within 16 hours!!!!
Regards George This DECT phone is one of the best I have used. Loads of features, very versatile and easily the clearest sound on any cordless phone I have heard. It does take quite a few key presses to access some of the features and some of the icons used are not particularly obvious, but you soon get used to that. The set-up of the Skype integration and wireless adaptor appears to go very smoothly at first, but my main reason for not giving this kit full marks is because you may find that the Skype adaptor software has taken over the rest of your sound settings! You have to do quite a bit of fiddling with settings, both in Skype and in the computer sound settings so that Skype uses the phone and everything else goes through the computer speakers as before. To be fair, problems caused by third party peripherals, such as webcams, may become apparent in the Skype software at the same time, but once you've got it all straightened out (check online forums for help), the Panny with its wireless adaptor works so well that you often don't notice you've just picked up a Skype call, rather than a landline call. We like ours so much that we've just bought the same for my parents, and my computer-phobic dad is now using Skype without realising it!
Regards Jonathan Excellent phone, does what it says on the tin. Works out of the box, clear sound and easy to set up. Simple to connect my older version Panasonic phones to the base station and then let me copy all the numbers into my new phones. I binned the iDex phones I had bought as you had to add every entry to every phone manually one by one.
If they gave you PC connectivity to manage your phone list and allowed you to change the soft keys it would be 5 star no problem. Highly recommended. Regards Mr. Kevin Murphy This is an excellent product and has more than fulfilled my expectations -particularly the cordless-ness! Ligo provide a prompt and efficient service to their customers, and I am very happy to recommend the product and Ligo to others. Thank you. Alan Cross.
Regards Thomas Its a good product. It has crystal clear voice. Its very easy to install. I would like to recommend if anybody wants to buy it.
Regards Mr. Anil Yeola I have been very pleased with these DECT phones. I can now enter a shed load of names and phone numbers into any handset and then very easily copy them to all of the other handsets. I have heard from other reviews that the category settings do not copy over so have not attempted to use that feature yet. Each handset can be programmed with its own name thereby making address book copying, the intercom and call transfer features, for example, so much more user-friendly. The call transfer and intercom features are great and very easy to use, no more rushing up and down the stairs passing phones around. Call conferencing is also supported, not used that feature yet though. The sound quality of these phones is terrific and even speaker-phone performance is great. Everyone I have spoken to using the speaker-phone says that they can hear me very well, big bonus compared to my previous BT provided DECT phones. The set up of the DECT system is really easy and I found the manual straight forward. There are loads of other great features, SMS, colour screen, etc. That reminds me, the only thing I would highlight to anyone wanting one of these is that when docked, the LCD screen of the phone is turned on and the resulting light may disturb some folk if installed near the bedside. Doesn't worry me but my better-half wants the phone taken out of the dock before lights out. Other than that, I highly recommend the phone.
Regards Ki Waters, Milton Keynes It works well and was easy to instal and is excellent with Skype. Big Bonus you can be on Skype and still receive ordinary calls. Well done Panasonic and well done Ligo for a good recomendation.
Victor......... Southampton Regards Sir Great product. Searched for a phone with these functions and there arent too many out there. For a phone with a difference this is the one you want.
