PANASONIC KX-TG 8123 TRIO COLOUR DECT PHONE REVIEW
I am so glad that I read the reviews of this phone and took other peoples word for it. There is absolutely no interference with Broadband - which I had on my old one - and the choice of ring tones for different callers is taking time to get my head round, but I am sure that once I have got used to it, I will really appreciate it and not keep answering calls that are not for me. Even though we have caller display, I find that you automatically answer the phone if it rings, but with this one, I am slowly getting used to the fact that if it is not my ring tone, then it is not for me, and I shall not bother to answer it. Altogether I would recommend this phone to anyone, and I am really glad that I spent the bit extra for this model rather than a lower one.
Regards Esther Had this product for a couple of weeks and does everything it should so far. Very happy with the quality and it was very easy to set up.
Regards darrel 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 We have had 2 BT digital phones prior to the Panasonic KX-TG 8123 and both were useless for the ringtone volume even with all the knobs fully up. The new phone is great in every way, we can now hear it when it rings and the clarity of the call is excellent. Set-up of the phone was no problem either. We look forward to long future with this phone.
P.S Full marks to LIGO for a courteous and efficient sale, we would be more than happy to purchase from them again. Regards Mr. Ray Taylor 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 This fone system comes close to the level of technology that we have all come to expect from our mobiles. Colour screen, Easy menu, Various ringtones......
Well, its note quite current mobile fone tech, perhaps about 5 year old mobile tech, but still better than most others we looked at. The big feature is the ability to update the phone book on every hand set. If you've had a multiple handset system before, you'll know what I mean.... Features that we like (and use!!).. Call screening Play, edit, delete messages from base and any handset Internal calls Transfer external calls to other extensions Update all handsets with revised fone book entry Is there a downside?, well, yes there is one that thing that we don't like. The screen is illuminated all the time the handset is on the charger. Now, at night, it's like the Great Lighthouse of Alexandria! We have to take the handset out of the charger so the screen shuts down, but remember to put it back in in the morning to charge. Overall, this is currently the best fone that we could find and would recommend it. Regards Mark Received the phone the next day after ordering it - thank you Ligo, and was immediately impressed with the quality of all the bits. I duly plugged them all in and off we went. Easy to set up and the call quality is really excellent. In fact I have had many cordless phones in the past and these are definitely the best. The phone book is tranferable to the other handsets which is a useful feature. Why only 4 stars then? One very annoying feature that this model has is that the screen glows all the time when it is on the charging cradle which is fine anywhere but in the bedroom! I have to remove it from the cradle before I go to sleep otherwise the whole room is illuminated which is majorly annoying. I cannot find a way of switching the screen off. If it did I would give the maximum 5 stars - shame!
Regards Mr. Gary Berlyn I love these phones - the intercom function is fantastic, with a great range meaning I can call family members when I am too lazy to leave the office at the end of the garden. There are lots of ringtones too - but being dull, I stick to the plain ones. The answerphone is awesome: you can play it back from any handset.
Regards Mr. Ross Parker Does what it says on the tin -and then some! Has a keypad lock (like mobiles) so stops little ones dialling Oz or 999! Handests can be programmed to ring quietly/silently at certain times (great for the bedroom) but can still be used/answered etc. Can personalise ringtones so you know the inlaws are calling (tee hee) Can transfer calls between headsets or make internal (free) calls, has speaker phone, secrecy/mute buttons, can be used in my neighbours house (on my bill unfortunately!), loads of tel no. memory space, can record calls, brilliant sound qualitly (no crackles), the list goes on and there is probably some stuff I don't know about yet too. Would highly recommend. AAAAA*****
Regards Mrs Cooper - West Mids This item arrived within 2 days of ordering - much quicker than expected and with great communication from Ligo.
The phone is very easy to use with super facilities and sound quality. The only reason for a 4 star rating... it could look more sleek and modern but the product itself ticks all the right boxes! Regards R. Faisal 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 This is the third phone i have bought since moving house 12 months ago and im pleased to say the best. I used to have terrible trouble hearing with the others but this phone is marvelous the sound is so clear. i would definately recommend this phone to anyone looking to purchase a new one. i like the colour display and the easy to use menus. one extra thing i didnt know about is that it stores all the people who have called you through the day so when i get home from work i can quickly see who has called even if they havnt left a message on the answerphone.
Regards annette The screen is very easy to read and it was all very easy to set up and add all our phone numbers. Very pleased and would highly recommend
Regards Ms. Claire Barnes Looks great and is simple to use, haven't yet had chance to read the handbook and try out all of the features.
Very good service from Ligo. Regards Lauren Excellent telephone, easy to set up and has all the features you could want.
Now have one handset upstairs, one downstairs and the other in the workshop. Would not want to be without it Regards Mr. ANTHONY BURSTON An ideal phone system for running a business from home over a single telephone line!
The polyphonic ringtones combined with BT's Display Caller Id service enables me to identify groups of callers (Friends, Family etc ) with a different ring tone for each. A basic ring tone is then used for all other callers which enables call screening. The night mode (no ring tone and directing straight to answer phone ) enables me to manage out of hours calls with the minimum of intervention from myself or disturbance to family life. The call transfer & intercom facilities between the handsets is a useful bonus feature. Regards Greg Speedy delivery, so far pleased with product - easier than previous panasonic phones I've had.
Regards Ann I think these phones are fantastic, they are as clear as a bell, easy to set up, and best of all is the loud speaker on each phone.
Delivery was first class only took 3 days from start to finish, I recomend them. Well done Ligo. Regards Mr. Dennis Flower I wear a hearing aid in both ears and whilst there is still some whistle and interference when placed next to my ear, the facility to use 'hands free' with all the handsets eliminates this as I do not have to place the phone next to my ear. The reception is clear and I can be heard clearly at the other end when speaking. The many other features make this a very good buy and I am now able to converse comfortably on the telephone.
Regards Mr. Alan Topping Take the time to study the operating instructions and it is very straight forward to use. Very pleased with my purchase
Regards John The Panasonic KX-TG 8123 Colour DECT phone is stylish, modern and so easy to use. The menu items are clear and easy to follow but the thing that made these phones a 'must buy' is the feature which allows you to transfer your phonebook from one handset to the other handsets at the click of a button. This is an excellent piece of technology giving clear sound quality, a colour display, many features which are easy to use, and best of all the price is right.
Regards Mr. Paul Hadgraft Delighted. Excellent product, excellent service. Only adverse comment is that I would have liked the answerphone system to have an audible beep in addition to the flashing light in order to alert me to new messages.
Regards Mr. Tom Boyd This phone was recommended on this website by its members, great price great product, better than my old philips and any other dects I had. Best feature on top of the high quality sound and sms, is transfer of address book between handsets awesome, I highly recommened this if you want a cracking DECT only phone no gimiks jsut one that performs.
Regards Mr. Endaff Bowen quality sound,brilliant hands free phones,superb product
Regards R We have used Panasonic phone for a long time. The old ones wore out after 10 years. These new 812x series are superb. The ability to copy phone-books between handsets save hours, and eliminates errors. Call transfer is new and much appreciated. 10 out of 10
Regards Jean Excellent phone and features very eay to set up fully recomend the system
Regards George I had had a Panasonic cordless phone before and was pleased with it. The KX-TG 8123 Trio is even better. Very easy to set up and the facility to transfer the phone numbers stored in the directory to the other phones is wonderful - what a time saver. Make sure you always put new numbers in to the same handset and then copy to the other handsets. Caller ID works well, loads of different ring tones and you can set up different groups for everyone in the house with different colours and tunes so you know who the call is for - less arguments as to who should answer the phone!!
Regards Rachel B good service from ligo- phone ordered saturday pm, received goods tuesday am.
Appears to be an excellant phone set with very good range and clarity, and can accomodate a headset. Regards tony Having used the equipment in a domestic environment for about 3 weeks I am very pleased with the results to date. The equipment is robust, good in terms of functionality and intuitive, and therefore easy, to use. In the mid price range the equipment presents good value for money.
Slight niggles which could be ironed out in future are: 1. When housed in charger the screen display does not dim (not so good next to the bed) 2. It is possible to copy phone books between handsets but it is necessary to delete the current phone book on the target handset as the transfer is addtive. 3. The number of characters on the phone book name is limited to 15 (quite short compared with mobile handsets). Regards Mr. Ivan Wheatley Good, clear instructions and works very well. Excellent ring tone audibility. Plenty of very useful features. Still learning! Would not hesitate to recommend it.
Regards DGC Excellent piece of equipment....far superior to a similar P*****s product which I returned to the retailer as it did not function at all well.
The Panasonic is first class. Set-up of individual handset characteristics was easy, as was the set up and personalisation of the answerphone. The phone worked first time, input of phonebook memory details is simple as is the transfer of the information from one unit to the others. Linking to prefix numbers, to use phone services other than through my landline service provider, works well. Handset unit is comfortable to hold even in lengthy conversations. Excellent audio quality, apparently at the 'other end' as well as at home. Loudspeaker and intercom functions work very well. The only thing I can 'criticise' is that the alarm does not have a snooze button!! Are we ever 100% satisfied? The service from liGo Electronics, from taking the order through very speedy delivery (as promised) was excellent. No hesitation at all in recommending liGo or this Panasonic unit. Regards George Wadman A nice dect phone thats simple to set up ,and works well.Good clarity and features.I especially like the intercom (saves shouting upstairs at the kids ;) ).I would have given a 5 if panasonic had ,had the foresight and inovation to somehow strategically place the speaker at the front of the handset rather than the back,which is what most other manufactuers also do.All in all a good buy .I must also mention that i was impressed with the speed that i recieved the phone from ligo.Will definitly recommend thier service.
Regards Michael I recently bought the iDect quad and was very disappointed at the sound quality, range and very awkward way of accessing messages, so decided to spend the extra and switch to a recognised brand with a good reputation. I'm very glad that I did. This is an excellent phone, great range, really easy to use, well made, crystal clear sound makes the iDect look distinctly gimmicky and third rate. I should also mention very rapid delivery and excellent service from Ligo Electronics - thank you.
Regards D Taylor Excellent service, fast and efficient. Product great and easy to set up, clear and concise instructions. Easy to handle, answerphone is also very clear.
Regards Mr. Francis Shehan Advise given over the telephone about the product was excellent and very useful. Product arrived within two working days and was ready to use immediately. Phones are easy to use and set up was simple. Many thanks for all your help.
Regards Sally Wadey I bought this phone to replace another Panasonic one which I thought needed upgrading and am not disappointed. It was very easy to set up and has a very neat base unit, colourful LCD Screen a good choice of ring tones. It has a night mode which I particularly like & lots of other features. Great phone.... am very happy with my choice. Delivery was very quick so 10/10 to Ligo Electronics for efficiency! Regards J.H.
Regards J.Helme We have had problems with the reliability and audio quality of a fax machine, and three other phones. Bought the Panasonic set, they arrived a day earlier than expected, worked out of the box and are performing better than any phone system this office has seen in the last 10 years. Five stars justified.
Regards Dr. Leslie Gornall I've wrestled for ages with trying to find a good DECT phone and at last I've found one I really like. It sets itself up straight out of the box. It does what you expect it to, and has a nice positive feel. The sound quality is excellent and the range is good. The backlight can reduce at night and the answerphone function works easily. It has plenty of functions; and it arrived within a couple of days of order. I'd certainly recommend it.
Regards Mr. Jeremy Heal Excellent service. I was concerned that the delivery company used was one that only delivers when we are out at work - but a quick email to liGO got this sorted out that day (they arranged for the carrier to deliver to an alternative address).
Very pleased with the phone(s). Only issue (wearing my 'help save the Planet hat' is that the screen stays brightly lit when handset is in the cradle. Will check through instruction book re any option to dim/turn off! Regards Mr. Gary Jones What a relif to find a hands free telephone system which delivers what it promises! We have been through 5 different systems over the past few years & all fail to be good enough, even on some fundamental things like being able to hear the person on the other end!! The Panasonic was simple to set up, the remote transfer of phonebook between handsets is a great timesaver, & is working superbly. Our telephone problems are over.
Regards PAUL Bought this phone after having a horrible Phillips phone and I must say I am totally impressed with it. The on-screen menu is very easy to follow, the voice/sound clarity is astonishing and most of all the service from Ligo was supa excellent.
why bother buying in the shop when Online retailers like Ligo are this good. Regards Mr. David Longe Reliable and easy to use
Regards Phil Delivered as per advert-we are very happy with the trio purchased. Easy to follow screen instructions
Regards Peter Very easy set up on these phones and was completed in minutes. I purchased the trio and the 3rd phone setup was easily completed. Very flexible in menu options and sound reception is excellent. Thoroughly recommended to all users!
Regards Paul Basics are easy to use...light, easy to set up.
Regards Stephen An excellent quality product.Instructions clear and concise
Regards Mr. Alfred E Elliott Really pleased with these phones. After MUCH research we plumped for these and don't regret it for a second. Excellent sound quality and reception throughout the house, around the garden, up the road and even out in the brick workshop! For the money, these phones offer a large phonebook memory, longer answerphone recording time, call recording, SMS, decent battery life etc. We were most looking for phones with specific features such as intercom and speaker phone, both of which this model has, so we are more than happy with its capabilities. If there is to be a down side, it has to be in looks alone - not the funkiest design and a pretty nasty grey in colour (and dare i say a little cheap looking) - but looks really aren't everything so if it's a decent set of phones you're looking for rather than just a piece of hand-to-ear candy, then these are they! Enjoy x
Regards Hazel nice looking phone registration for third handset quite difficult to install but advice from ligo and it was easy to do
Regards Mrs. mary wyatt Very pleased with this equipment. Only reservation is that the screensaver does not operate when handset is in charger. When out of charger screen goes blank after few moments.
Regards Derek I am very pleased with this purchase. There are many good features. I like the illuminated
Regards Mr. donald evans after spending a little time reading the manual (something us guys hardly do!) i find the phone great, many useful features and i would recommend it.
Regards jonathan Very easy to set up and use - I think only criticism is that the ring tone on the phone doesn't match up with the base unit. The phone itself works like a mobile phone with regard to menu options etc..... A very good purhcase
Regards Adam Received the phone and additional sets promptly. Setting up was reasonably simple. The phone offers many features and I really like the night mode. My contacts have stopped complaining that they couldn't hear me (which they did with an analogue corded BT phone I used) so I guess the sound is fine - it is to me anyway.
One of the little things I miss is the pre-programmed services my previous DECT had - it saves you having to remember or look up/store the redirect code sequence for instance. But on the other hand it has a handy umpteen times redial function - ideal if you try to get throught to any NHS number ;-) One thing I really find annoying is that the different ring tones you can select for different caller groups are only played by the handsets - the base is doing its own thing entirely which results in a cacophony of sounds! Regards Mrs. JEA van Wamel After great deliberation, checking a host of reviews on several websites and consulting the which website this was the product that came out on top for the price I wanted to pay. I have not been dissapointed in any way. The product is excellent and the service was the same.
Regards William Excellent service from Ligo and a great product from Panasonic, easy to set up and the name and number transfer to other handsets is a huge plus.
Regards Debbie Very pleased with the Panasonic phones,sound quality is excellent.
Helpful salesman at Ligo too, who dealt with my questions and took my order by phone after giving me all the answers I was hoping to hear! Regards Mr. Mike Pollard The service was excellent and product also very good
Regards Mr. MARK HILLIER I have had no problems with these phones and they seem to be very good value for money with a lot of useful functions.
Regards trudy Phones fine and work well with hearing aid when set to speaker phone. Instruction book was a problem but easily overcome.
Regards Mr. D W Lyne Delivered on time and proved to be very easily installed and user friendly, after three other makes of trio cordless phones I found that the Panasonic KX-TG 8123 Trio Colour DECT Phone lived up to the Panasonic reputation for first class electronics and I also found that the instructions (it really is a good idea to read them first !!) were clear and practical.
Regards Roger Ordered on Monday morning and was delivered on Tuesday morning, well packaged and in perfect condition. The product is an extremely good example of modern communication technology, and we are having fun using it, though there are so many facilities on this model that it takes time to familiarise oneself to gain maximum value from this excellent product.
Regards Christine Very pleased with our purchase. Far superiot to the BT system we previously had. Easy to use and to programme and excellent reception.
Regards Ian The Panasonic KX-TG 8123 Colour DECT Phone system offers comprehensive facilities in an easy to use package with clear instructions. The only partial downside is that the handsets are slightly bulky. All in all - a good value for money purchase
Regards Peter I can't praise them enough, I was going to buy another set and phoned in to ask a question and these were recommended as they had just come out and you were full of praise for them even though they were a lot cheaper, you insisted these were best buy. Ordered 12 noon one day here 9.30 the next, what can I say. Brilliant service.
Regards Mrs. heather faint I was treated with courtesy on the phone when ordering and given excellent advice on the choice of the phones to meet my requirements. The goods ordered were despatched quickly and efficiently and arrived within three days. The phones are in use and working well. I would not hesitate to use your services again or recommend you to friends.
Terry Broomhall Cheltenham Regards Mr. Terence Broomhall The sound quality is superb particularly on loudspeaker, easy to use, comfortable to handle. Very varied choice of ringtones, easy to follow instructions.
