PanasonicKX-TF200 Mobile Phone, Dual-Band GSM 900/1800 MHz, 2.4" TFT Colour LCD, 0.3MP Camera, MP3 Player & FM Radio, 1000 mAh Li-Ion Battery, Hearing Aid Compatible, Single SIM Card, Black

This phone is not for power users, but has its place as a very useful phone.Quality looks and construction, as you would expect from Panasonic.The phone has an included replaceable battery of just 1,000mah. Doesn't seem big by todays standards, but as this is a smaller screen power efficient phone you get a stated 225 hours of standby usage from it. that equates to over 9 days.An included usb c cable is supplied, for which to charge it with.You get a sim card slot and a sd card slot for extra storage if required.It has been designed to be light, compact and easy to use.The screen isn't big but is big enough to be easily readable and bright enough.There is a torch at the front of it, and this is easily switched on with a dedicated switch at the side.The other side has the volume buttons, large and easy to use.You also get a headset port in the phone, with a supplied headset.Mp3 and radio should suit for your entertainment needs as well.And the special feature of this phone is that it is hearing aid compatible, so a boon for the elderly/hard of hearing.Consider this a modern update to a Nokia of old. Which is a good thing.

Firstly, it has *no* MP3 player (currently advertised as having one) and it's not running Android (which Amazon's listing says it is, but you probably knew was wrong).It's not capable of communicating voice calls on the 4G band either, which will be a problem when 2G and 3G networks are (apparently to be) switched off in the next few years. Anyway, it has positives over so-called Nokia (just a name now) and other 'dumb phones' available - the keys are bigger and easier to use, menus and screen (bright, no PWM, intuitive) are better and there's no bloatware. Battery life is good.As expected of Panasonic, build quality is high and so is call quality and reception - even the speakerphone isn't too shabby. Overall, it's probably the best dumb phone available. It's annoying not having WhatsApp (or is it really?), no voice call 4G and no t9 text mode, but you can't expect everything at this price and place in society when the majority are steered towards smartphones.One day someone will make a non-pretentious dumb phone with just a little more in the way of communication features (but not enough to be 'smart', we can hope), but until then this is the best of the bunch.If you're thinking of buying this for digital minimalism but have already got subscriptions (it's a trap!), mobile bank cards, multiple messengers and are tied to the smartphone ecosystem, it will probably be impossible to make the switch without gradual untangling, but for a wannabe off-grid hermit, this is your baby, baby!

This Panasonic phone (KX-TF200EXB) is exactly what I needed - a simple phone for calls and texts. Forget all the fancy features on smartphones these days that just drain the battery. This phone lasts for ages on a single charge (thanks to the 1000 mAh battery), which is perfect for me because I'm always on the go.The call quality is great, and I can even hear conversations clearly with my hearing aid in. The screen is bright enough to see even in sunlight, and the buttons are big and easy to press. The MP3 player and FM radio are a nice bonus, although with such a small memory, you won't be fitting your whole music library on there.Here's the good:Super long battery lifeGreat call quality with hearing aid compatibilityEasy to use with big buttonsHere's what to consider:No internet browsing or apps (obviously!)Small memory limits MP3 player useCamera is pretty basic (0.3MP)Overall, this is a perfect phone for anyone who just wants a reliable phone for calls and texts. No frills, just function. I'd definitely recommend it!

I bought this phone for my husband, and after only 4 months it has stopped working. I have carried out all the usual tests, but nothing. I have tried contacting Amazon's customer services, but gave up trying. I thought Panasinic were one of the best, but obviously not!

This is exactly what it’s supposed to be. A good basic phone. We have it as a back up for when we travel. It holds it charge and does exactly what it’s supposed to do. All with no frills or worry about loss or theft while abroad. Very inexpensive and impressed with the camera. That surprised us both.

This phone does not appear to have the features shown in description e.g. radio, calculator etc. I am not able to find out why as I am being denied an explanation by the 'bot'. In other respects key size for one it is good but not worth the money.

Thought this rather simple phone would be ideal for an old fogey like me. Turns out it doesn'y support modern prorocols, which I hadn't spotted.

This phone comes in handy if you're looking for a more basic alternative to a smart phone or for the elderly that are looking for something a bit easier to use.It only has a 1000mAh battery, but where the apps aren't intensive, it ends up lasting a long time between charges.It has a radio, MP3 player and camera built in, which as you'd expect, isn't the greatest, but it's fine for the occasional snap.It also has Bluetooth, so you're able to connect headphones and headsets for hands free calling, as well as a built in torch for emergency situations.All in all, it's a basic phone, but it does the basics well.I hope you found this review helpful.
