 Wireless Interference January 4, 2007
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
This Uniden phone is the most highly rated cordless phone everywhere I looked, and had all the features I wanted - 2 lines, multiple handsets, no answering machine. However, when I set up the system - no matter how far away the base is from my 2Wire Home Portal - it crashed our wireless network. I have emailed both 2Wire and Uniden, and the answer is completely unacceptable. They said that a 5.8 phone could revert to 2.4 and thus interfere with a wireless connection. That is hogwash, considering my 2.4 cordless phones don't interfere with my wireless connection. I am completely frustrated with this and hope that someone might have a solution for me.

Very nice unit, which I have with the extra handset. Really no complaints on the unit, if it had (it never claimed it did) an answering machine, it would have been perfect. Comfortable feel handset, clean sound, easily programmed and long lasting battery power.

This is a very high quality telephone system at a fantastic price. Admittedly, some will wish that this phone had other features, but I bought it because it matched my needs exactly:
1. Handles two lines.
2. Expandable without needing a phone jack connection for each handset.
3. No answering machine capabilities (we have, and prefer, voice mail).
4. Able to mute all ringers (handsets and base) for a sleeping baby.
Beyond this, we just needed acceptable range and sound quality -- nothing extravagant.
I'm happy to report that these phones have excellent range, exceptional sound quality, and are a snap to set up. The expansion phones set themselves up by simply placing them in the base for a few seconds. It couldn't be easier. The menu system (on each handset and the base) is very intuitive (similar to cell phones), and offers many functions we will never use -- but they never get in the way of the simple things.
Plus, the price was right. This has turned out to be a very successful purchase.

System Design
I've never owned a Uniden multi-phone system before. I started with the old Siemens stuff (utter garbage) in the 1990's and really liked the panasonic multi line systems that I've used in a few locations since they released them. Enormous frustration with the user interfaces on the Panasonic Hybrid PBX system in my office lead me to flee from Panasonic to try another vendor with this system.
The low cost of the phones and the ease of registering new handsets are terrific. My favorite feature is the programmable banner on each phone. Once the banner is programmed in, you can use the intercom feature on any other handset to call another location by NAME, not handset number! Really brilliant! A great design, if only these things had the range or a way to switch like a cell system to another base location.
Reception and Range
I should have trusted my instinct when reading about the 5.8 GHZ systems. If you read carefully, you will note that they do not make a comparison to 2.4 GHZ systems EXCEPT to note that the 5.8 GHZ systems won't interfere with most 802.11x networks. Unforutnately, when I replaced my 5 year old panasonic 2 line system with this, I noticed a significatn decrease in transmission range especially through the old stone barn walls of our house. I suspect the higher frequency just can't penetrate the old thick walls like the 2.4 ghz systems can.
Even though this system is supposedly spread spectrum and frequency hopping, if i have a bad connection and move around the house, the connection stays bad, even if i move right next to the phone.
I would love to find a consumer version of the panasonic cordless system that offers multiple "cell" locations on an internal phone systems. The engenius systems still seem like they aren't ready for prime time.
If you buy this system, be prepared for a decrease in range versus 2.4 ghz systems.
If I could find an alternative that's as well designed, I'd repalce this system quickly.

I have tried so many and returned all of them, until trying this expandable phone system from Uniden.
RCA, Panasonic are really badly made and unreliable, ...this system is superior to them all.
Crystal clear reception, no interference in our high rise office building.
Plus the pricing is excellent if you shop around.
This is a purchase you won't live to regret.
