Uniden Cordless PHone System

Uniden DECT 6.0 Cordless Digital Answering System with Caller ID and 2 Extra Handsets and Charging Cradles
This compact phone system is packed with features. Most are very easy to use, but I recommend you read the manual to get the best this system has to offer.

Upgraded system, downgraded features :(

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?

Great phone!

We love this phone! The sound is crystal clear. I like the ability to control the ring tones for each phone and for different callers. It makes it easy to know who is calling. The answering machine is easy to operate. The range is great. I once took the phone in the car while talking to my sister. I was two blocks away before I realized I was on my house phone and not my cell phone. I hung up before the connection was broken! The phones are very light and portable, no heavier than a cell phone. They are also stylish and look great, but are small enough to hide if need be, even the answering machine is small in size. We are very happy with them. The only complaint is that the connection is so clear that the caller can also hear everything from your end. So, when the kids are yelling, the caller can't hear me through the noise. I have to be away from the loud noises to talk. I haven't had any problems with our dish network interfering with the phone either. It is nice to be able to talk anywhere  more
