Customer Reviews:

Horrible phone [Posted on 2007-07-09]
Range is not great. Sync feature doesn't work with Outlook if you have Exchange (Corporate e-mail) so that feature was totally useless for me (main reason I bought the phone). Who has time to manually enter 400 phone numbers... Battery life stinks - it lasts about 20 minutes on speaker phone. And if you place the phone on the charging base to recharge it disconnects the call. I make lots of calls where I get put on hold for extended periods and I'm a slave to the phone unless I put it on speakerphone. It doesn't have the battery life for me to leave it on speakerphone and it hangs up if I try to recharge it. I have to juggle two phones which get drained to low battery in no time at all. Stupid design. Total junk.

great phone [Posted on 2007-12-11]
I've had mine 3 years with out a glitch. I recorded my own announcements so that when a special person calls, instead of hearing a ring, my phone says, "Incoming call from ....." Battery life is a bit limited, have replaced batteries about once a year, but i understand this is typical for phones that operate at this frequency.

Headsets Died [Posted on 2007-12-20]
I bought five uniden headsets and, less than a year later, three consistently fail (i.e., disconnect, immediately run out of power though they've been charged for hours). I'm really disappointed with these phones and won't buy uniden again.

Beware  [Posted on 2008-01-02]
Phone works fine but one major flaw appears to be:

There is a limit of 10 handsets that can be registered. Lets say you registered 10 hand sets and you lost couple of them.. you wont be able to reset the base unit to factory setting. The user manual does not show or talk about this limitation. I now have only 4 handsets at home, but over the past year registered over 10 handsets. So, now because of the limitation, I am unable to add any more handsets even though I have only 4 handsets active. There is no way to delete or remove registered handsets that were lost

Bad Battery life  [Posted on 2008-07-14]
I paid around $100 to purchase one of this and battery went bad in 7/8 months and called uniden and they say batteries have three months warranty and i have to buy new one's out of my pocket. It's a shame that a product for such price has such a poor quality battery. I've seen lot of cheap product costs below $30 lasts more than 2 years. So why should someone pay such price and pay again for batteries so soon. I would say its a bad product. Not worth the money you pay. having some fancy feature does not make a product good if it does not server your basic purpose. Also there is no customer service number in their web page. Email does not guarantee any reasonable answer. I would say, stay away from Uniden product.
