Excellent System

I just purchased this system and so far I must say it's excellent. I'm very happy with all the features...they're very easy to use. I love that this one doesn't have an answering machine, as we have voice mail. I can't believe how hard it was to find one without the answering machine.

I have to make a comment about one of the other reviews. The one that says:

"One very strange thing I have discovered is that the Caller ID on this phone does not interface with the programmed numbers, so if someone who's in my list of speed dial numbers calls me, their name is not displayed."

There is an option in the setup called "CID/Phonebook Match" which does exactly that...matches the caller ID to your phonebook entry and that name is displayed. Maybe this is a new feature, but it's definitely there on the system I just purchased.

Also, I purchased two additional handsets to add to the system. It was very simple to sync everything to work together. Now we have four phones that all work the  more

Uniden sucks

Bought this phone. Within a week, it died. Since the phone was still under warranty, I called Uniden. The rep immediately asked me if the phone's transformer was cold. It was. He said the transformer died and if I fax Uniden my receipt and tell them what happened, they will send out a new transformer. So I waited. Two weeks later, a new battery showed up!!! I got on the phone again. They apologized and said they would mail the transformer off immediately. Another two weeks passed. Nothing has arrived.

Even if the transformer someday arrives, my wife doesn't expect it to last too long since the rep immediately knew this was the problem. I would never buy from this company again.

Did not live up to the reviews for me.

I bought this phone based on reviews here. It functions as explained, however:
The earphone is very tiny and very hard to hear out of (even with the volume turned up)

Even though it claims "no interference" there were a lot of times that the person I was talking to did not hear anything I said. The incoming voice was clear (when I could hear it) but if I tried to talk, whole sentences would just disappear.

The ringer on the second base is delayed - I understand why, but with our phone service we only get 3 rings before it sends to voice mail, so if I was not near the main phone and base I would miss the call.

The assigned ring tones also seemed to cause a delay. (That's just a frill so I turned it off.)

The user interface for storing numbers was very clumsy and frustrating.

I think someone mentioned that it does not recognize incoming numbers that are stored in your phone book.

It does come with a belt clip and earphone jack, but the phone is very lightweight and I was afraid  more

Great Phone System

I needed something to replace the old V-tech cordless phone system in our home. Since we have Voice Mail provided by the local telephone company, I did not need an answering system. The clarity of the phone is great. I have lots of wireless electronics in my home and have found zero interference. I like that the buttons are lit. I am not a fan of the orange color, but it is something I can live with. The handsets are comfortable and buttons are easy to use. The only thing I would have liked was for the base to have controls on it. I used that a lot when the old phone was not in its cradle and I could not find it in time to answer a call. I have already expanded my system to 4 handsets and can place them anywhere in my home without worrying about where the phone jacks are.

ok phone ify voice quality

This phone has a lot of nice features for the price point. A little light in the hand I like a phone with a little weight to it. Incoming voice sounds clear but it gets a lot of echo to it when you speak also I get some vibration in the ear piece. I've been using it only a couple of days but I am going to bring it back because the echo is just so prominent.

Pretty good features, so-so voice quality

I bought this particular phone because it was the only one that has all of the features I needed for my home office phone -- voicemail indicator, belt clip, earphone jack, speakerphone -- as well as the usual things like speed dialing and Caller ID. (I was surprised at how few phones come without answering machines now.) This phone was easy to set up and program. The handsets can send copies of speed dial numbers to each other. It's also a nice-looking phone that doesn't take up much space on the desk. The microphone in the handset is not very good. My voice sounds overmodulated to people I'm talking with. I usually use a headset, though, so that's not a huge issue for me. One very strange thing I have discovered is that the Caller ID on this phone does not interface with the programmed numbers, so if someone who's in my list of speed dial numbers calls me, their name is not displayed. I've never had a phone that did not recognize programmed numbers, so I find this very strange. I contacted  more
