Summary: Easy way to expand super phone system
Review: When my existing cordless phone bit the dust, I didn't rush to purchase a replacement and took my time researching all available options. When it came right down to it, Panasonic's KX-TG6502B fit the bill. If there's a feature this 5.8 GHz system doesn't have, please tell me. I guess that's why Consumer Reports gave it such a high rating.

If you already own this system, I don't need to tell you how wonderful it is. Granted, it's not like you have any other options if you want to expand it other than the KX-TGA650B. But rest assured ... it's an easy two-button process to add a third and fourth handset. Not quite plug-and-play, but pretty darn close.

One of the best features of this system is that everything is accessible through each individual handset, especially the digital answering system. No longer do I need to walk across the house to play back my messages. And I don't have to worry about missing any -- even with the ringer turned off -- because of the small blinking light at the top of the antennae. Oh, and the blinking light also alerts me to an incoming call. Kind of like a "silent" mode.

You can expand this system up to four lightweight handsets in all and you don't even need a phone jack to place one anywhere in the house -- just a power outlet for the small, inobstrusive base.

But the longer I've owned this system -- three months and counting -- the more I appreciate it for it's great design and problem-free operation. That's why I just re-invested in a third handset for my oldest daughter and am considering a fourth for her sister.
