Summary: PRODUCT AND SERVICE BOTH FAIL!
Comment: DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!!

I gave this one star since it was impossible to give it zero stars.

I purchased this phone system from Amazon and it worked as advertised for about two weeks. Then we had a power 'blip' where we lost power for less than one second; we didn't even have to reset the microwave clock. The base unit was plugged into a surge protector. The phone system spontaneously stopped working. Since the failure occurred within Amazon's 30 day replacement period, they sent a new phone system and we returned the defective system to Amazon.

About six weeks later the phone again spontaneously failed. Since this failure occurred outside the Amazon 30 day period the Amazon rep gave me the Uniden phone number and told me to call Uniden which I did. The Uniden agent gave me instructions for obtaining a replacement. I followed Uniden's instructions to the letter and faxed them all information they requested. That was over two months ago and I have heard nothing from Uniden.

So I called Amazon back as the Amazon agent had instructed me to do. The Amazon agent told me there was nothing they could do and told me I had to deal with Uniden.

Amazon and Uniden both get zero or fewer stars.

Summary: It works, but my old phone got better reception
Comment: I replaced my old 900 MHz phone with this system thinking I was getting a premium upgrade from a phone I purchased almost a decade ago for college and from what it looks like I'm not alone in this complaint. But then again others don't seem to have this problem so who knows. Maybe it's the building material in older homes or distortion from other electronics such as a computer, all I know is that when I go into rooms more than 30 ft. from the base I get horrible disruptions. I have the base unit in my family room and a handset in my office and it's bad enough where I have to leave my office and go somewhere more open to be able to understand who I'm talking to. My house is only 2,500 square feet. I guess I should have gone with V-Tech...

I also wish the intercom feature was a true intercom. What I mean is the person on the other side has to physically answer the intercom page, you can't just speak openly in the air to each other, what a pain, especially if your hands are full. Oh well, life goes on but I won't be buying another Uniden, sorry guys but not after what I paid.

Summary: A solid, functional product
Comment: A good, functional product.
PROS:
- Intuitive
- Comes w/three handsets
- Nice belt-clip which does not fall off. Didn't like odd shape at first but makes it easier to cradle handset when talking.
- Different rings for each handset and different callers
- Can get voicemail from any handset or base station
- Good speakerphone quality from handsets & base station (and no complaints yet from people we have been talking w/)
- Can label each phone in display (to know which of the three you are talking on -- helps keep track)
- Weighty enough to give a quality feel but not too heavy.
CONS:
- "direct link mode" function btwn handsets is bizarre & most of the time the "out of range" error appears.
- "Room Monitor" is a great idea but (while i don't have a baby) i don't think it would be that useful as a baby monitor.
- No blue tooth or wifi capability
- "Phone book" is archaic and unwieldy. Why can I synch up my tiny cell phone with my computer, Outlook, or Gmail address books but not my house phone?? No predictive text / entering in phone numbers manually is monotonous and difficult (though admittedly easier than previous cordlesses i have owned).

Summary: mixed reviews
Comment: speaker phone reception is great.
bad reception when far from base. our old phone had better reception at our workshop. with this phone, there is a lot of static.
you have to go through several steps in order to insert a "1" in front of the caller ID number in order to return the call or store in memory. my old phone gave that option readily.
i still am not able to make a 3way call. i used to be able to do by just pressing flash. doesn't seem to work with this one.
i like that the numbers light up when you dial -- quite important at our age :)
i like that when you press a speed dial number, it shows you the number (which means you really do not have to memorize the speed dial number you assigned to a number).
will i choose this phone over our old phone? well... i wish all their good features were in one phone! it's like the search for the perfect purse! :D
