Panasonic KX-TG1032S
Arguably One of the Best Cordless Phones

The Panasonic KX-TG1032S was one of the most popular Panasonic digital cordless phones. It was arguably the best cordless phone in it's price range. An easy to use cordless home phone with just enough bells and whistles.

The original Panasonic DECT 6.0 phone has now been superseded by a new generation of Panasonic cordless telephones: KX-TG4000 and KX-TG6500. They provide features including: Eco-mode, talking caller ID, call blocking, silent mode ... They also use an enhanced DECT 6.0 technology that delivers improved call clarity and increased talk time between charges.

Competition

Vtech cordless phones are Panasonic's main competitors in the budget or cheap cordless phone segment of the market.

DECT 6.0 Cordless Phone

As a 6.0 DECT phone it's not susceptible to the cordless phone problems that earlier generations of technology presented. Issues with cordless phone range and interference are almost unknown to users of these phones.

What Makes it the Best Cordless Home Phone?

While DECT 6.0 technology accounts for many of the KX-TG1032S's strengths, it has others which even the latest Panasonic cordless phones can't compete with. For example, if you're a bit of a talker this is the phone for you. It delivers up to 17-hours of talk time and an equally astonishing stand-by time.

When we compare cordless phones and read cordless telephone reviews the things that separate the best from the rest are often the details that collectively make the difference.

1. For a compact, light weight phone the KX-TG1032S has got a large keypad. It's a sensible big button cordless phone making it both comfortable and easy to use.

2. It has an illuminated indicator that lights up to give notification of calls and messages. It's an excellent feature for those of us who like to mute our business cordless phones. Mothers with small children also appreciate this small but greatly appreciated feature.

3. The KX-TG1032S can either sit serenely it its base or be mounted on a wall. That may seem a fairly pedestrian option until one discovers how many people require a wall mounted cordless phone, and how many otherwise great phones don't support the option.

4. Unlike comparable models from Uniden and others the handsets have a jack to connect a hands free telephone headset. Belt clips are also supplied in the box.

5. There are tens of millions of people who require hearing aid compatible telephones. If you have a hearing impairment the KX-TG1032S is an option that you may want to consider.

6. As the KX-TG1032S can be expanded from 2 to 6 handsets it makes good sense have one of them by your bed side. As it's a cordless telephone with alarm clock functionality you can make space on your bed side table by giving your alarm clock to someone who has not yet upgraded their cordless phone.

7. It was one of the first DECT 6.0 phones to achieve Energy Star Certification. Other brands are only now releasing phones that are compliant with the Energy Star Rating System.

8. Unlike many cordless speaker phones at this low price point it supports genuine 3-way conferencing. Up to 2 handsets can join into a conversation with one outside caller. It also supports Intercom between handsets and Phonebook sharing.

9. Anyone who has used a cordless phone for a while will appreciate the fact that this Panasonic cordless phone uses standard rechargeable AAA batteries. You're not locked into using proprietary cordless phone replacement batteries.

10. Exceptionally easy to use, including total control of the answering machine through the handset. As the answering machine plays through the handset they can be used very effectively to screen calls. Furthermore each handset can be programmed with its own unique settings: ringtone, volume etc.

Installation Costs

Given the ability to hang up to six handsets of a single cordless phone jack we wonder why anyone would ever consider any other other option than a cordless home phone. The cost of phone jack wiring usually exceeds the cost of a KX-TG1032S. Furthermore, they can be unpacked and connected in minutes.

A Final Thought on Cordless Answering Machines

Like nearly every other cordless phone the KX-TG1032S has an integrated cordless answering machine. That's great if you need one, but not if you use an online answering service. Unfortunately most phones with integrated digital answering machines get confused if they're also required to deal with online services. The solution is to use a cordless phone without a digital answering machine, but as you may have discovered there are very few options to choose from.
