Great phone, even with the static [Posted on 2008-04-20]
This phone was really easy to set up (my 7-year-old did it in about 15 minutes). The manual is good. The handsets are comfortable to hold, though they don't cover your ear when talking (because they are small) which I would prefer as I am half deaf and this would help block out noise in the room. I like that you can see from any handset whether you have a message, and that the main unit notes how many messages are there. The intercom feature is mostly a toy for the kids. There is a slight static on this phone compared to our old Panasonic 900 mhz model. It comes and goes, and moving the base unit didn't seem to solve the problem. We have decided to keep the phone despite the static, as it has so many other good features. The only other minus is that the base unit looks kinda ridiculous when mounted on the wall - it sticks out at an odd angle.
Disappointed [Posted on 2008-05-01]
I purchased this DECT 6.0 cordless digital answering system after reading the manufacturer's description that "there is no interference with wireless networks, microwave ovens, cordless phones, and other household items" and reviews of other customers. This phone has disconnected me on a number of occasions--I am talking, I hear a 'beep' and am disconnected from my call or, I can here the person on the other end, but they cannot hear me. The display shows out of range! Each time his happened I have been in another room or even in the same room as the base. At times during conversations, the background seems to go silent as if I have been disconnected and I find myself asking "are you still there."
I selected Uniden as my previous phone was a Uniden and the DECT 6 because I do have a wireless network. I am going to have to purchase another phone as this one just does not measure up to its manaufacturer's description and I can't afford to have my calls dropped. Very disppointed in this product. My previous phone was Uniden TRU9485-2 5.8 GHz Digital Cordless Answering System with Dual Keypad and Extra Handset which worked well for a number of years before losing its ability to retain Caller ID information on one of the handsets.
Quality Phone w/ Extras! [Posted on 2008-05-06]
Having come from an inferior Motorola product (yeah, Motorola!)I'm very happy with these phones. Clear sound, solid phone with "gel like" buttons, speakerphone, intercom and one touch phone number transfers to satellite phones makes this a complete package!
No problems [Posted on 2008-05-13]
I've had no problems setting up the phones, setting up the answering machine, activating the system and/or putting the options I prefer into place. The product and sound quality of the phones and the digital answering machine is good and I've had no problems with the battery life. The caller ID display on the phones is larger than most and much easier to read. I am completely satisfied and will buy Uniden products in the future.
Upgraded system, downgraded features :( [Posted on 2008-05-13]
I've had this system for the last few months. I bought it to upgrade from the 2.4 that I loved, except for the electronic interference. I also have the Uniden 5.8 in my second home, and that one carried over the features from the 2.4.
However, the new 6.0, though it works well strictly from the standpoint of clarity and lack of interference, is very annoying because Uniden has decided to strip it of many of the nice features that the earlier models had. For example, the ringtones. I don't like using all those annoying sounds, but do like having the individual song clips. The 2.4 had about 10 songs to choose from; the 6.0 has a measly three, and one of those is a Christmas song, which doesn't go over big in our Jewish house.
The second annoying oversight is the lack of SPEED DIAL. Who would think even to question that? Doesn't every phone now have it? Even my old corded phone does. Nope, not the Uniden.
The date and time no longer show on the handsets, as it did before. Why?
The messaging system allows the user to allow the caller either one or four minutes to speak. Why not two or three?
Many others have mentioned that caller ID will never display the caller's name as the one that you've already programmed into your phone, instead displaying a generic name, unknown, or the way it's listed in the phone company's directory. There is no reason on earth to not show names that are already programmed into the system.
These annoyances reek as nickel-and-diming from Uniden, which apparently is following the lead of cereal manufacturers, coffee companies, toilet paper manufacturers and seemingly, everyone else, by reducing the size, volume, contents, or features in an effort to fool the consumer into thinking the price hasn't gone up. Would it have cost Uniden a few cents per system to retain the old features?
Shame on you, Uniden. Technology is advancing at Mach 1 speed, but Uniden has taken a big, backward step with this phone system.
