PANASONIC KX-TG 8122 TWIN COLOUR DECT PHONE REVIEW
These phones were incredibly simple to set up despite theie wealth of features. I have been using them for a good few weeks now and would recommend then to anyone looking for a full-featured digital cordless phone.
Regards AAB The things I like about this phone is that it is comfortable to hold and easy to use. The dialling buttons work nicely and everything so far works as it should (I haven't tried everything yet). I find the features easy to use and fairly intuitive. There is nothing I dislike about it and would definitley recommend it
Regards Janet Excellent service, will shop with you again. Phones were easy to set up and use.
Regards David With the advent of the internet driving down prices, it's almost impossible to find a company who offer great advice at a fantastic price! I won't waste time looking else where next time.
Regards Asvin This phone was quick and easy to setup. The additional features, such as alarm and text messaging ,were not to numerous and simple to use.
Regards Ms. Sarah Rigg good value product, very efficient company to deal with.
Regards david It is impossible to hear if the phone is ringing when it is in another room and the door is closed - it would be better if it was really loud. Also it is good to have some idea of the length of the call you have just made - our last phone displayed it at the end of a call. However, it was easy to set up and we have no major dislikes of this phone.
Regards Ann Ordered this phone over the black coloured 8222 model, because I tried out 8222 in a shop and did not its keypad. This phone has large clear keys with spaces, making it very easy to punch in numbers. Handsfree sound is rich and loud, and the phone is very customisable.
To reviewer below who suggested how to turn off the annoying backlight when the phone sits in the cradle - well, the menu items you suggest for turning the backlight off do not exist on this model. Do you mind reconfirming if turning off the backlight is indeed possible? Regards ashank I've had these phones for a few days and very nice they are too. Just a note to reviewer below on how to turn off backlight. This bothered me too for a while, but here's the solution. Go to menu items: Settings > Display > Backlight. For here you can set the backlight stay off/on when in cradle or off/on when out of cradle.
Regards Andrew i recently purchased twin cordless panasonic phones. The service and attention i received from ligo electronics was commendable. I would purchase again from this company. The phones were easy to use and are fantastic value for money.
Regards Gayle It really is as good as the blurb, AND (with my thanks also to all previous reviewers), I had no problems setting it up. Great! Next question, when will Ligo do Panasonic TVs?
Regards Patricia PLeased with the service and the product.
Regards Mark I bought this product because of the external jack for a headset. It works really well and has not let me down. It allows for the copy of phone book entries from one handset to another, however tihs has to be done 1 by 1 which is a bit of a pain.
Other than that a great phone. Regards Martin My wife and I, both in our late 60s, bought this phone after years of frustration with others. In the end when our last phone packed up we spent a long time looking for a replacement. We came up with this Panasonic and are we pleased we did.
It was a dodle to set up, the phone book being particularly good, the sound is great and the screen, if possible, even better. There are things on the phone we will never use but all the basics and more are really good. I must mention the answer machine, which again was very easy to set up and use. Very recommended, as is this company, which delivered on time and can be contacted easily. Regards Mr. Brian Ford An excellent phone system which works a treat. I started to read the instructions but found they were hardly needed as the phone commands are highly intuitive. We have had it working for about a week now and found it will do everything we need and more..particularly when I sign up to caller ID.
Regards David Clarke This panasonic phone was easy to set up. although I have placed my basic needs in. I am still finding other Items of I can use. This review is from my daughter for the phone was purchased who connected and programmed it for her use in her home
Regards Mr. Albert Lovelock Very happy with phones. Used in an industrial application, the best we have bought yet.
Regards Joe easy to use. good ring tone and good second handset. Speakerphone too quiet-- second person unable to hear.
Regards Avril I am hard of hearing and was looking for a phone that would suit my needs and one that my family could use normaly (I found one) I am Very pleased no if's or buts, very pleased.
David Regards David It works! I am a 60 year old technophobe. I can read the screen without having to find my glasses and there is crystal clear voice reception. Easy to use and user manual simple to follow and understand. Would that all things in life were so stress free! Am delighted with this buy.
Regards Eilean We needed a phone incorporating an answerphone with enhanced sound as we are both hard of hearing. The adjustable loudness and clarity to ear or hands-free is excellent as well as all other features, large phonebook capacity, Caller ID features etc. We are delighted with out purchase and the efficiency and courtesy of liGo; thank you!
Regards C DAVIES, South Cheshire As usual Panasonic have produced a Dect phone that does all it says on the packet. The bonus is a decent memory capacity with a good quality playback. This is my third Panasonic cordless and apart from a disastrous purchase of a Philips Dect phone I will stick with Panasonic in future
Regards Alex Excellent quality. Typical of Panasonic phones. A great buy in my view.
Regards Tim excellent product. very pleased
Regards Mrs. iris bason ligo sevice did not dissapoint-phone arrived in 2 days. the phone seems excellent; it looks very stylish and feels good in the hand. the backlit screen and large numbers are great-- even visable without glasses!the sound is very clear. i haven't used all the features yet, buy it was not difficult to set up even for an old tecnophobe like me. thanks, i'd use ligo again.
Regards liz cohen I believe that there is not a better phone for business or home use, with its miriad features and top quality.
Regards Mr. Stuart Duncan I am more than happy with my purchase after months of listening to robots crackling down my old phone, I now have clarity! Many functions I've not got round to setting up yet.
All in all a great buy and great next day service from Ligo Regards Penny A good looking, easily set up system which is a joy to use. We are a small business and these phones provide exactly what we need - call transfers are spot on and the sound quality is excellent . Service from liGo was friendly and efficient.
Regards Mrs. Liz Smith extremely pleased, absolutely excellent
Regards Mrs. iris bason fab looking phone, very easy to use and sound quality is excellent
Regards Mrs. jo mitchell The phone system is all that the website description said it would be. All the functions are present and it is easy to use. These are important issues because, before I found this site and phone, I had bought two systems both of which I returned because they did not do what was described on the website.
Regards Nicholas I am hard of hearing and have struggled for five years with a BT twin handset DECT phone
Its sound quality was poor and I couldn't understand what callers were saying. I received many complaints until one day the base unit gave up and I started looking for a new phone, with clarity of sound being the main criterium. After a thorough search on the Internet I settled on Panasonics 'top of the range KX-TG8122' from LiGo Electronics.and am delighted with it. It has more useful features than I have yet explored but is easy to use and above all the sound quality and clarity are superb. I am busy ringing family and friends now that I can hear and understand them. I can thoroughly recommend this product and the supplier LiGo Electronics, whose price, including next day delivery, is just amazing. Regards Mr. Malcolm Muir Excellent sound and easy to set up and use. A great improvement on my previous BT phone.
Regards Peter Excellent delivery service. The Panasonic telephones are stylish with clear dialling and helpful instructions. The only problem we have faced is with progressively diminishing sound volume on a longer calls. Even moving around to obviate wall screening makes no difference. The batteries were fully charged as per instructions and show no signs of low battery power. Puzzling!
Regards William A. in Wiltshire It is an excellent buy. Very easy to set up and use. Clear sound
Regards Gabriel The goods arrived the next day in perfect condition. I would not hesitate in using Ligo again.
Regards Miss I am very pleased with the phone and service. Delivery was very quick and the phone well packaged. It's a good solidly built product, which looks attractive as well. It's easy to set up and very clear. The loudspeaker can be heard many metres away. All in all good value for money.
Regards Stuart Young Yes it is all that I had hoped for.
BUT THE PHONES SHOULD HAVE HAD A BELT CLIP ENCLOSED WITH THEM Regards Edward So easy to set up, this phone replaces my BT Synergy which I was very satisfied with but I am even more delighted with the Panasonic. Features are excellent and easy to access. The answering machine is first class, no problems there, remote listening to calls is a doddle. Conversations are as described with crystal clear detail for caller and called. Well worth buying and extremely good value for money from ligo.
Regards Graham I ordered my Panasonic KX-TG 8122 Dect Phone at 14.50 one day and it arrived with me by 13.00 the next day the service was excellent. The phones are great . I will certainly us you again
Thank you Regards Patricia excellent next day delivery, good after sales, queries satisfactorily dealt with, but in common with most electronic equipment this 74 y/o wrinklie did not find setting up a doddle. Perhaps you could have one of us elderly relics test setting up your equipment to see if it is wrinklie friendly
Regards orla Very pleased with this phone. Have been trying various brands for some time (BT, Phillips). This is the best so far.
Regards Helen Despite the fact this was our first cordless phone, it comes with clear instructions and was not difficult to set up. The service from liGo was also very good. Competitively priced, a very good buy all round.
Regards Clive Panasonic KX-TG 8122 Ordered this product 14.05.07 at 11.35 Received it today 15.05.07 at 9.45 fast service or what ??? Haven't used it yet so rating is for service.
Regards papillon I work from home and am involved with a lot of conference calls, and have been impressed of the quality of these handsets.
They are solid to hold, have excellent battery life, and have a speakerphone mode that works really well. There's a port on each handset to plug in a headset, and even the ring tones aren't obnoxious! A nice feature is the Regards Dan Grenfell I decided to buy this phone after reading other reviews about the product, and so far it hasn't dissappointed me! I haven't had the product very long but I am very impressed with the ease of use and setup menu's. I chose LIGO because it was the cheapest provider, but I found the tele sales staff to be very helpful and polite. The product arrived on my doorstep within a couple of days of placing my order, it was well packaged and in perfect condition. I am a very happy customer!!!
Regards Mandy very pleased with this phone replaced BT Freestyle 80 big difference!!
Regards Iola Quick service, efficient, got what I ordered. Happy customer.
Regards Simon I've been using previous versions of Panasonic DECT phones and they have all been great. Easy to use, good sound and always reliable.
Regards Martin WELL WORTH THE MONEY DOES WHAT IT SAYS ON THE BOX EASY SET UP AND EASY TO USE.
Regards Mrs. PAMELA CUMMINGS Setting up the Panasonic KX-TG 8122 could not be easier. For those of us (males) allergic to instruction booklets, the Panasonic guidance notes are virtually redundant. It works straight out of the box, with a minimal charge in the batteries supplied to get you going. Compared to BT and Siemens phones I have had previously, this is in totally different category in terms of build quality and clarity of reception. Using the handsets as 'hands free' is simple and very effective. I have now installed two systems in our house, they both work perfectly. Any snags? Well, if you leave the phone in its stand in the bedroom you may find the light from the display distracting. And why they chose a 16 year old girl to dictate the default message on the answerphone is a mystery - callers who heard it often rang off on the assumption they must have the wrong number.
Regards David Skuse Excellent phone that was very easy to setup and very comfortable to use. A bargin at twice the price I bought it for from liGo.
Regards Mr. Kevin Everall clear instructions, good quality sound. did not find 16 different ring tones nor could I figure out how to synchronize numbers entered into one phone into both phones.
Regards CJ Sevice very good. Phone excellent, for a change setting up instructiopns easy to follow even for me & I am in my eighties. C D M.
Regards Mr. Charles D McElroy This is a great product. Previously i had a similarly-priced BT one and this is much better. It feels and looks 'quality'. I don't use all the features, but from those i have, it is simple and intuitive to use and set up, has a very clear handset and answerphone - including on speaker phone, and has a really good range - i can use it from the bottom of the garden etc.
would have given it 5 stars but it could do with a sim-reader to facilitate populating the phone book. Regards Daniel THIS IS WITHOUT DOUBT ONE OF THE BEST CORDLESS TELEPHONES I HAVE EVER OWNED. THE REASON THAT I ONLY GAVE IT 4 STARS IS BECAUSE IT IS THE SAME COLOUR AS THE TELEVISION MACHINE AND I HAVE PICKED THIS UP SEVERAL TIMES AND WONDERED WHY IT WOULD NOT MAKE OUTGOING CALLS.
Regards Juliet This phone is great. Very easy to use, with simple instructions. The range from the base unit to the handset is fantastic, with superb sound quality. Excellent for business or personal use. Highly recommended.
Regards Robin First time purchase of a cordless phone and the KX-TG 8122 seems to offer everything we wanted. Easy to set up and use. Service from LiGo first class. Received very good advice when I rang and the phone was delivered within 24 hours of the order being placed.
Regards Paul A easy to use and set up phone, can't fault it and would recomend it to anyone. I thought it was good value for a two handset model. I haven't found anything that it can't do. Call clarity is excellent. Adding numbers and names is easy. I didn't do a mass of research before buying it but it came highly recomended so I was happy to buy blind and I'm not dissapointed.
Regards Tim Recently purchased this phone and found the service excellent and delivery the same, and after 2 of my friends saw it they asked me to order them one each also.
The phone was easy to set up , Set one phone press a button and it sends all the details to the other phone, great, as opposed to my previous phone of having to key the details for each handset. A very comprehensive phone , just pick it up to answer. Had it 3 weeks and no problems.Very impressed. Regards T.C. I found the service from LiGo first class with the Panasonic KX-TG 8122 arriving on the day promised. We have found the phone very easy to use although advanced in its' features, with excellent reception. We are still finding features on it that make it a pleasure to use. A very worthwhile purchase
Regards J really good phone, nice and easy to use and very clear. Good hands free application too. Very useful intercom also.
Glad I bought it. Can't fault it Regards shaine Excellent product, excellent service, brilliant price. 5-star liGo, I'll be back.
Regards Simon Easy to use.
Being at the end of a long phone line we have alway had a problem with quiet and crackley lines add on broadband and we can bearley hear. These phones make are chrisp and clear and loud. Well worth it. Regards E This is a really good phone, colourful screen and loads of features. Very easy to set up. It does not have such a good range as my last phone (BT Synergie) but other than that no complaints.
Regards Mrs. Sue Sherriff I was looking all over for a DECT phone that has all the features I need: an answering machine and SMS capability. I did check out BT and Binatone, but I think this Panasonic KXTG 8122 twin fits my requirements perfectly. Easy to use and offering a host of features, this model definitely meets my expectations. I’m glad I chose the KXTG.
Regards Corey Johnston Wonderful phones. Crystal clear reception, easy to use, excellent price.
Regards DDS Excellent phones really easy to use and nice to look at. Wicked service from Ligo really impressive nice to be able to talk to someone rather than a machine.
Thanks again to Ligo will definately use again. Regards Mr. matthew williams This phone is easy to set up, the directory and caller-ID features are very useful, and the instructions are clear. The phone works well at a distance from the base unit. The sound quality is great, and its easy to adjust the call volume during a call. The handset display is clear, and excellent quality. Ordering and delivery on this item was easy and exceptionally quick.
Regards JFM Get this phone for its features. Can't go wrong with the advertised features: good, clear sound in the handset ear-piece, no setup answerphone, excellent build quality. This phone will last you a few good years. If not for the features, get it for its looks.
Regards Jack First I had a BT studio phone - rubbish. Then I had a Binatone - even worse. I was seriously considering going back to a corded model when I saw a favourable review of the Panasonic KX-TG 8122 Twin Colour DECT Phone, my sister also had an earlier Panasonic model and spoke very highly of it.
Ligo Electronics had the model on offer at a fair price and promised fast delivery so I ordered it from them. 3 working days later the phones arrived as promised and I put them on charge. As soon as I was able to use the phones I connected them and started putting numbers into the memory following the easy to understand instructions, it is also very simple to transfer the phonebook from one handset to the other. I like the feature that allows you to categorise your phonebook, thereby limiting the numbers that can disturb you after a certain time, no more clients badgering me at midnight. The sound quality in the phones is noticeably better than others that I have tried and we have had no problems with range so far, also the buttons are a decent size and the display is clear and easy to read. The various ring tones included are not very exciting but allow you to distinguish between intercom and outside calls and, if you choose, between different callers. I haven't really done much with the answerphone yet, only confirmed that it works. We are very happy with these phones and with Ligo Electronics, the full cost was £85.85 including delivery @£4.99 and the wretched Vat Regards Mr. Doug Dickinson I recently purchased this phone and found the service excellent and delivery the same.
The phone was easy to set , almost self explanatary.Set one phone press a button and it sends all the details to the other phone, great. A compact phone , can just pick it up to answer. Had it 3 weeks and no problems.Very impressed. Regards John Excellent service. Excellent product.
A comment - unfortunately the orange light and coloured display cannot be turned off when on the base. Situated in a bedroom this provides more light than desired hence we have to cover the phone, or stay awake watching the display Regards Dennis Williams Clarity is the key word. This phone has changed my life. Being very hard of hearing, life has been difficult for years, but this telephone is so clear I can hear every single word.The load speaker is very good indeed.No one will regret such a purchase. Value for money this is A1
Regards Mr. John Lamb KX-TG 8122 Panasonic phone/answerphone overcame problems with similar BT product, i.e. low quality speech and recording quality.
Full features, easy setup, fully working in 10 minutes, with customised message. Rapid response from Ligo, delivered by UPS so arrived in good condition. Recommended Regards Andy Roberts Have recommended Ligo to all my friends, the customer service was wonderful and the delivery speed couldnt have been any quicker. As for the phone, crystal clear sound, even when I am on my computer which was always a problem with other handsets. Easy to set up and use and the adjustable ringtones and wallpapers are good. Price was great, especially for what you get. I will definately come back here if I need another phone.
Regards Ms. Lynne McKenna I was impressed by the simplicity of this phone. Numbers are easy to store, sound is crystal clear and the answering machine is good too.
The speakerphone and hands free function are excellent. Usually people cannot hear you on hands free but this is perfect. When you record your answer machine message via hands free it is just like using the normal phone. Only criticism....colour screen is not great and definition is low quality compared to a mobile phone equivalent. However, at the current price you simply cannot complain. Buy one now whilst they're avialble at this great price Regards Dave I as others think that this phone is great value for money, easy to set up, nice, clear sound, ringer easily heard - overall excellent buy.
Regards Mr. David Rayne This phone works well for me, I work from home but not in the same room as where the line is. So I wanted a DECT with a second handset for my office. It was important for me to have a headset to allow me to use my PC. Would have liked some ability to transfer my contacts from PC or mobile into but heyho can't have everything.
Regards David My requirement was specific - I needed a new DECT system with at least two terminals, capable of being used with headsets with 2.5mm jackplugs. Ligo advised me that very few systems meeting that need are available, and recommended the Panasonic KX-TG 8122. This was on offer at a very good price, and arrived in amazingly short time. It proved simple to set up and configure, and works extremely well. Whilst I do not use all its many features, it is very versatile and powerful, especially in regard to the answering system and address book. One other point - the handsets use standard AAA size rechargeable batteries, which will save a lot of money and hassle when the time comes to replace them!
Regards Mr. Brian Mindel great product,very pleased,phone very clear and very easy to set up,overall great product. very good customer service as well
Regards Mr. george stubbings the panasonic kx-tg8122 are ace phones very good handsfree speker,solid good display good all around.ligo good comms good price good company to do bizz with A+ THANKS NEIL..
Regards Mr. neil threadgill I like my new phones alot. They are a huge improvement on the BT rubbish that we had before. Sound quality is good and they are very easy to use. I love the address book which has saved me loads of time. Delivery was next day. My only disappointment is that the caller id function and SMS texting are only available if you pay extra with your phone line provider - I thought I would get these automatically, but I guess that was my mistake. On the whole - highly recommended.
Regards Pamela Holland Pleased with the phone so far having bought a Panasonic before which I was very pleased with. My old BT DECT phones dies within weeks of each other as though built in obsolescence was a feature. So far pleased as with all modern day electronics time will tell. Let's hope this is as good as the other Panasonic I have. Colour screen takes a little getting used to as it's a bit garish but that is probably because I am comparing it to my Nokia mobile which is streets ahead.
Regards Mr Surrey Have so far proved to be an excelent buy.Delivery was prompt and the whole experience was hassle free.
Regards Mr. George Hall Took a little time for an 87 year old to set up but is now excellent particularly ease of use and clarity.
Regards Donald Very pleased with phone recently purchased from you, service received excellent and would highly recommend this company.
Regards jacqueline Had the KXYG 8122 for a couple of weeks now and have to say that I'm pleased with the solution.
Can confirm that incoming call numbers work on telewest as well as SMS. Wasn't sure if they would when I bought it. Generally very easy to set up and program. Love the 200 capacity number memory. All the menu items work effectively. Very easy to feed incoming numbers into memory. Also love the ability to set different ring tones for different categories of numbers. (work, friends, family etc.) Also great that the entries can be copied to other handsets with 2 notable exceptions. First that it doesn't copy across the category designation and secondly doesn't copy across the ring tones OR names associated with the categories. The result is that you have to remember to sort these every time you copy a number. BIG mistake Panasonic if you're listnening. For the rest very happy. Big buttons, good answering machine facility and capacity. Regards Larry Rees Very impressed with this product. Easy to use and intuitive controls both for the handsets and the answerphone. Very clear sound in both handset and speakerphone modes.
Regards Colin Ordered the BT Verve 500 but was told would not be available for a few weeks. Was advised to consider the Panasonic 8122. Checked some reviews online, liked what i read so changed choice (switch was made very easy by customer service team at ligo - goods delivered 48hrs later).
The phone is an excellent choice. From setting up to clarity, everything is perfect. Always used BT phones but they don't compare to this Panasonic. Perfect. Regards Mr. Sean Burke We got good and speedy service from this supplier, the goods arrived speedily and in good order.
The instructions for the phone was OK and no trouble (yet!) experienced in installing or using. Regards Terence A great phone. At a very good price. The handsets are very easy to instal. The intercom feature is very useful, as is the ability to listen to answerphone messages from any handset. Programming the address book is very easy and great that you only have to do it once and can then copy to assitional handsets. Allround a great phone
Regards Tom The KX-TG 8122 Twin is a great phone. Clear sound, very good features and it does exactly what the makers claim. I've only had the phones for a short while but I would unhesitatedly recommend them to anyone. Further I would like to congratulate LiGo for their excellent service
Regards Mr. Fred Averis This has to be the best phone on the market in this price range. Easy to use, looks good, good functionality. I would highly recommend to anyone.
Regards Andrew The instructions are clear and it allows my deaf husband to participate in a call.
Regards Mr. Graeme Barter Stylish phone with great performance and easy to use. Excellent service from LXDirect who dispatched speedily and efficiently.
Regards Simon The service and product are first class. Received within the time stated and goods were as described. I would definately use them again. Well done.
Regards pamela Many features, easy to set up once you have read the instructions and understood the icons. Clear speakers, good screen, easy to use menu. The screen is a bit bright if you have ithe phone in the bedroom.
It would be nice to differentiate between incoming and outgoing calls on the call listing. I have nothing to compare this model with, except an old BT cordless 6 years old, the KX-TG8122 is a giant leap in technology. You will not be dissapointed. Buy it from Ligo, fast delivery, although it took over a weekend to arrive, but still within 3 working days, efficient payment and feedback and good price. Regards Mr. John Howes This systems does everything it says on the box. Excellent sound quality; stylish handsets; very easy to use and configure.
Regards Mr. Noel Nugent When I ordered phone originally I went for a different model but this was out of stock, however Ligo's staff were first class and provided some alternative options. I ended up going for there staff recommendation as shown on the web-site. The hine arrived the next day - pretty impressive for this type of internet purchase. The phone is very straight forward to use, onyl problem is getting used to the instructions at first using the symbols in the instruction booklet. Other gripes are nothing to do with quality of phone just depends how many features you are lloking for.
Regards Roy Very pleased with this phone. Would recommend.
Ligo delivered next day. Very efficient. First class communications. Regards Jacqueline Yes, we like these phones. Crystal clear and certainly an improvement over the BT rubbish we have coped with the past 2 years. All the whistles and bells on the Panasonic are there if you want them. We just wanted a phone that does what it is intended - to send and receive calls and to work as a phone should; with clarity. We have always liked the Panasonic brand and this twin-set hasn't disappointed us. Also, Ligo is a dream company to order from. I placed my order one day and by midday the next it was delivered - can't ask fairer than that. We certainly reccommend Ligo as well as the Panasonic KX-TG 8122 Twin Colour DECT Phone. Sorry it took more time for me to make this comment than to receive the order. Well done Ligo!
Regards Mr. Keith Towers very nice phone, with lots of extra features. but not too many which is good (like the more expensive mobile-like phones which are just ridiculous). can put it into night mode etc. which is very useful and good range of ringtones. good answer phone. very easy to use. very good instructions. very pleased. overall...HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Regards Bernard |
