Uniden DECT 6.0 Cordless Digital Answering System with Caller ID and 2 Extra Handsets and Charging Cradles Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just rec'd this system (w/total of 5 handsets in the set: #2080-5) a few days ago from a different vendor and so far I am very happy!!I had been using the Uniden TRU9485 and loved that phone system with one glaring exception:Two of the four phones furthest from the base kept cutting out constantly, with the message "out of range" on the screen despite only being maybe 50 feet or less from the base in my one-story home.Made those 2 phones virtually unusable.This was a 5.8 GHz phone but it was no good for me!

So, here I am with the new DECT 1.9 GHz version and so far, no problem.It has virtually all the same features as the TRU with slightly different cosmetics.The Uniden 2080-5, with the 5 handsets (we have a larger home) do have a cute little addition:two of the silver/black phones have a brightly colored frame: one in metallic red, the other in met. blue - kinda kicky.Xln't sound, including the speakerphones, which is a feature I use 70% of the time.Phone directory holds 70 listings and can be auto-dialed with a quick press of the button.Enter your phone numbers and names just once and you can then send it to all the other extension phones without having to retype them in individually.Each phone can also add their own entries.Has intercom bet. the extension phones, Caller ID, which I don't use, the usual digital answering machine with up to 4 min. message allowed per caller.But, book says when retrieving your messages remotely, after listening to 4 min. of messages, machine will stop and require you to push 2 buttons if you need to hear more messages: a bit of a bother, but 4 min. of messages IS quite a lot for most, unless you have a lot of wordy friends who read to you daily from War and Peace.Keypad and screen light up nicely for night viewing by pressing any key.Each phone has a little light on top that will flash to let you know an unheard message is available.You can then play back that message from any of the extension phones, a nice convenience so you don't have to go to where the base is located to retrieve them. Ans. machine will emit a message beep if there are any new ones for you or you can turn that alert off.A lot of options with these phones: individual volume controls for both earpiece and speakerphone, method of answering the phone (press any key to answer or automatically have it connect with caller by just picking up the phone from the charger or base) - are just a few.Most important to me:the distance from base doesn't seem to affect the connections - yay!! A very long talk time is present - 12 hours stated, I believe.I've talked a couple hours without the battery signal even stepping down.Book says can leave phone off the charger for up to seven days, but I'm more conservative.

Oh, for those of you that don't know - another wonderful feature:Only the ans. machine base needs to be plugged into a phone jack.All the extensions only need an electrical outlet, no phone connection!Little complaints:too few choices for types of ring when receiving a call, wish there were a couple more letters allowed when entering the names & nbrs. into the auto-dial directory (16 letters/spaces allowed).But, those are petty.This is an excellent phone or my name isn't Bill Gates (okay, just kidding about the name!); you'll be pleased! ...

Product Description:
The Uniden DECT2080-3 DECT 6.0 Cordless Digital Answering System includes a base station, two charging cradles, and three handsets. Because the phone uses DECT technology, which uses the 1.9 GHz frequency range, there is no interference with wireless networks, microwave ovens, cordless phones, and other household items. The result is less interference, more range, and better security. The built-in digital answering machine has a recording time of 14 minutes.
Each handset can hold up to 100 phonebook entries, displayed on the three-line backlit LCD. Caller ID is supported, and with call waiting caller ID you can see who's calling even when you are already on the line. The DECT2080-3 comes with three handsets and can be expanded to a total of six handsets working with the single base. A conference feature lets you hold a three-way conversation between your handset, an external caller, and another handset user. A speakerphone is built into the handset, rather than the base, so you can bring the speakerphone with you wherever you go. The handset features up to 16 hours of talk time and a 10-day standby. The Uniden DECT2080-3 DECT 6.0 Cordless Digital Answering System is backed by a 1-year warranty.
