Comments:
Panasonic's superior user interface, history with 4-line cordless phones and a history of reliability make the KX-TG4500B 4-line cordless phone system a great alternative to a small digital phone switch.  It's a great choice for a small growing business.  AT&T's SB67118 Long Range 4-line system really excels in environments where longer than average range is critical. Incredibly the phone will get up to 1/2 Mile range with repeaters in many environments. Customer returns for both models is very low and feedback for both is well above average. Given that the AT&T SB67118 is the newer phone, we've been impressed with both features and call quality. Besides, for a long range phone, small businesses and some home users would have to spend significantly more money to obtain a long range phone with this many features...even if the alternative was a 1-line long range phone.
