 I love this phone!!!!!! September 28, 2008
First, the phone came on time and once I got it charged I was very happy with it. I have had other phones that cost more but have less features. This phone is perfect! The speaker phone on both the handset and the base is great, crisp, and clear. The intercom feature is great, My fiance' and I communicate from bedroom to kitchen through the inercom so that I can bring what ever he needs from the kitchen without yelling "what do you need from the kitchen". The Do not disturb feature works great; it just makes the phone/voicemail 100% silent so that we can sleep without interruption (we work 3rd shift so we need our sleep during the day). The ringers are lovely, I like the fact that we can pick specific ringers for certain people. Oh yeah, and the best thing about this phone in comparison to our old Vtech phone is that with this phone if we receive a voice mail we don't have to hear the voice mail indicator beep until we get the message. The old Vtech phone we had used to get a voice mail and it would beep every 5 seconds until you listened to the voice mail. This phone does not make any noise unless I let it. Most of the time we keep the phone on Do not disturb due to telemarketers. I really love this phone and I didn't spend much money on it because it is a refurb!!!!
Great phone system, poor design of ans machine screening September 27, 2008
Many people have identified the good features of this phone. I get great sound quality and range and no interference with my home wireless network. I also like the speed dial allowing 32 digits per entry. Unlike most other brands with 15-20 digits, and some Uniden models, this lets you enter a full 1-800 number, a couple of pauses, and then a long PIN for a calling card.
What aggravates me (and the reason for deducting a star) is the way call screening works. The idea is to let you listen to your callers leaving messages (or to your friends yelling at you to pick up because they know you screen calls) and deciding if you want to pick up the phone.
The problem with this phone is that it also plays the outgoing message every time. I don't need to hear my own message. Even worse, you get to hear it play all the way through, even if the caller has recognized a machine and immediately hung up. This makes the call screening feature worthless as far as I'm concerned. I'll keep using this phone, but with an old AT&T answering machine attached to it, one that screens calls properly.
Love this - owned it for more than a year September 3, 2008
Will this jinx my answering machine and phones?! I have owned this for over a year and am extremely happy with it. I have six units in addition to the one with the answering machine. I can take the receiver outdoors and still stay connected. I needed a system that could be expanded and it has met all of my needs.
 Very poor range August 26, 2008
Simply No excuse for the fact that the range on this unit is very poor.
A voltage fluctuation burned the base-unit for my old Uniden set - not sure of the model# - but those came free with SunRocket in 2005 - so yes old - and with a stubby antenna on the handsets. But the old Unidens worked like a charm - no problems in any corner of our apartment - loved them.
hence I went for Unidens again - hoping that the new model would be at least as good as the old ones if not better - but NO!
There are lots of "blank spots" in our apt. where the reception just drops ... and even when I'm in range - the sound clarity is suspect ... with occasional clicks and hisses.
Not sure if we got a lemon - but definitely not happy!
And not a biggie but it is sad that the voltage adapter for Uniden is only 120V compliant!!
 functions good, range poor August 25, 2008
all things are pretty good except for poor range. I've got a vtech 5.8g that's 5 yrs old and does better than this. it does not reach across my house let alone up/down floors. it's to the recycle bin for these guys.
