Summary: 900mhz the way to go
Comment: I bought this for my mother-in-law, with an emphasis on IN-LAW.
The problem with all the other phones, is that she could not travel around her cave, at the speed aided by a walker, without losing the signal.
Lower frequency, longer range.
ET 101.
That's it.
No more calls sayiing "Well it's nice but I can't hear when I'm"........fill in the blank.
Aside from the obvious,"Don't go there when your on the phone!" I got her the 900mhz Uniden and the calls stopped.
If you or anyone that you know is so afflicted, buy this phone, or ear plugs.
"God is in his Heaven and all is right with the world".
This phone fit the bill.

Summary: Mediocre at Best
Comment: I bought a 900 MHz Uniden phone in '98 or so, and it was totally fine--impressive, really. It lasted a decade before I managed to destroy it (my fault--not an issue with the phone). The range was maybe half a block through housing, the signal was clear, the battery life was great, and it was a good, clean design. I liked Uniden then, so I thought I'd give them another shot.
This phone's negatives:
(1) The range is limited and the sound quality is poor, often static-filled if I'm not in the same or an adjacent room to the base station. Going into the basement one floor below the base station is problematic--never an issue with my older Uniden.
(2) There's an intense red strobe that indicates voice mail waiting. The strobe has two settings. The dimmer setting is still bright enough that the neighbors across the alley probably wonder if there's danger of some explosion in my kitchen. An LED would have been much more appropriate, and used less power.
(3) Emergency, 911, is a single button. Why place a button people will seldom use in a place where it could easily be accidentally pressed? Are they concerned that as I age I won't remember the number of the local 911 service?
(4) The ringer volume buttons are on the handset, right where someone picking the phone up would naturally place a thumb. I've had to repeatedly readjust the ringer volume just because I've picked the phone up to make a call.
(5) The phone generates much more heat than the older Uniden. It's not enough that I'm concerned about the lifetime of the phone, but it is enough that I make sure to unplug it when I leave town for a few days since it's apparently drawing considerable current.
Positives:
(1) I used to prefer mechanical ringers because they're louder. This one's plenty loud.
(2) Give me a while, and I might think of something else. OTOH, it'll probably be a negative, not a positive.
So, I bought this three months ago and still feel that I need a new phone. Good Will will get this one soon.

Summary: Great for people with LOW vision
Comment: I purchased this phone for a friend who is leagally blind and physically impaired with MS. She lives in a high rise, and finally has a user friendly portable phone. The sound is really good. The red lights flashing for both a message and ringing help her tremendously. This is the best phone we have found for her needs
