Panasonic Repair First. Replacement Only When It's Time. Brooklyn-Based, All 5 Boroughs.
Panasonic exited the US business phone market in 2022. KX-TDA, KX-TDE, KX-NCP, and KX-NS systems still run in plenty of NYC offices, but parts are getting harder to find. We service them while it makes sense, and migrate them cleanly when it doesn't.
The Panasonic situation in NYC
Panasonic was a longtime player in NYC small business phones, KX-T digital hybrid systems, then KX-TDA, KX-TDE, KX-NCP, and the IP-capable KX-NS series. In 2022, Panasonic announced it was exiting the US business phone market entirely. Active US distribution of KX-series products ended. Existing systems still work, but the supply chain around them keeps thinning.
What that looks like in 2026:
- Replacement parts, line cards, expansion shelves, station cards, come mostly through refurbished-equipment dealers now. Quality varies.
- Proprietary phones (KX-DT digital, KX-NT IP, KX-UDS SIP variant) are getting harder to find at reasonable prices.
- Voicemail systems (KX-TVA, KX-NSV) are no longer in active development.
- Carrier-side services, analog and PRI lines from Verizon and others, are being retired. The FCC approved a Verizon-backed copper retirement order in March 2026. If your Panasonic uses copper or PRI, the carrier side may force a decision before the system itself does.
Panasonic systems we service
- Panasonic KX-TDA series, KX-TDA50, KX-TDA100, KX-TDA200, KX-TDA600. Hybrid digital systems widely deployed in NYC during the 2000s.
- Panasonic KX-TDE series, KX-TDE100, KX-TDE200, KX-TDE600. IP-capable successor to KX-TDA.
- Panasonic KX-NCP series, KX-NCP500, KX-NCP1000. Pure IP platforms for mid-size offices.
- Panasonic KX-NS series, KX-NS300, KX-NS500, KX-NS700, KX-NS1000. The most recent generation of KX systems before Panasonic exited the market.
If your Panasonic isn't on this list, ask us anyway. We've worked with most of what's still running.
Repair or replace
Repair makes sense when: your system is running stably, parts you need are still available at reasonable cost, and you don't need the modern features cloud systems offer.
Replacement makes sense when: parts are getting scarce or expensive, maintenance costs exceed cloud-system equivalent, your carrier is retiring copper or PRI at your address, or you need features the Panasonic can't easily deliver (mobile apps, multi-level IVR, queue callback, hot desking).
The middle path: stage the migration. Keep the Panasonic running while we build the cloud system in parallel. Cutover when the new system is ready and tested.
What migration looks like
Typical project: 2 to 4 weeks from signed quote to live cutover. We come on-site for discovery, map your extensions and call routing onto the new cloud system, parallel-build everything, then execute the cutover during a weekday morning window. Your Panasonic stays operational until the new system is verified. Number porting takes 7 business days on the carrier side.
The new system includes features the older KX systems can't easily deliver, mobile and desktop softphone, multi-level auto-attendant, queue callback, hot desking, custom hold music, conference bridges, call recording. None are add-ons; they're standard with our Business plan.
Pricing
- Business plan: $29.99 per user per month. Includes new IP desk phone, full cloud PBX, mobile and desktop softphone, unlimited US and Canada calling.
- Standard plan: $19.99 per line per month. For very small offices.
- Enterprise: custom pricing for 25+ users or specific compliance needs.
Number porting, on-site install, and staff training are included. No long-term contracts. See the full pricing page or learn about our cloud voice service.
Why a Brooklyn-based provider
National providers will sell you a cloud phone system. They won't show up at your office to handle the physical migration. We do, we're Brooklyn-based and our techs are NYC residents. No subcontractors, no offshore call center. The same person you talk to during install is the person you reach for support.

Frequently asked questions
Which Panasonic systems do you service?
KX-TDA (KX-TDA50, 100, 200, 600), KX-TDE (KX-TDE100, 200, 600), KX-NCP (KX-NCP500, 1000), and KX-NS (KX-NS300, 500, 700, 1000). Most Panasonic platforms still in NYC small business offices.
Why are Panasonic phone systems aging out?
Panasonic exited the US business phone market in 2022. Active US distribution ended. Replacement parts come through refurbished-equipment channels. Proprietary phones are getting harder to find. Carrier-side analog and PRI lines are also being retired.
Can I keep my existing Panasonic phones?
Almost never. Panasonic KX-DT (digital), KX-NT (IP), and KX-UDS (SIP variant) phones are locked to Panasonic KX systems and can't register against a cloud PBX. New Yealink IP phones are included with the Business plan.
How long does migration take?
2 to 4 weeks from signed quote to live cutover. Discovery, parallel build, number porting + cutover, training. Your Panasonic stays operational until the new system is verified.
What if I want to keep my Panasonic running for now?
We service it. Hardware repair, programming changes, voicemail box maintenance (KX-TVA, KX-NSV), T1/PRI troubleshooting. We're honest about when repair stops making economic sense.
