Panasonic KX-TG2357 Cordless

You can buy a kit on ebay to repair the keypad contacts. Very easy to install, they even have a video showing you how to do it.

This worked for my mother's KX-TG2357:

We tried doing what it said in the manual on page 54. That didn't work! She then decided to just unplug everything. About 3-5 minutes later, plugged everything back in, and lo and behold, everything was working fine!!

Available from these sellers

The users manual can be found at http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/KXTG2357.PDF

Called Panasonic Support. The unit will NOT record voice messages whilst in talking mode.

I have had similar problem the way I solved it .
Unplug all units from ac
Take out all batterys
unplug phone line.

Put back in reverse order .
They allways seem to work after.


I have noticed that if the phones are charged on the wrong stations they seemed to get confused for some reason.
Hope this helps

I'm not sure if I can SOLVE this, but try changing the amount of rings before the answering machine picks up. You can find the manual by following this link:

A few days ago I bought Panasonic KX TG1100 - but the base unit does not ring - only the handset!
Can I do anything about it?

Only if you have 2 phone lines.

Astoundingly, the KXTG2357 works only with the original handsets it came with! You cannot replace a handset by buying another one (same model, of course) and register it with the base. How ridiculous is that? It's like buying a lamp that works only with the bulb that came with it. Replacement bulbs won't work. Well, Panasonic is one company I won't be dealing with anymore!

So, the solution is to get along with one less handset, or buy a new phone unit!
