Uniden TRU8885 5.8 GHz Digital Expandable Cordless Phone with Answering System and Dual Keypads (Black/Silver) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am quite pleased with this phone.I have had it a few months now and I have not had any problems.I had looked at buying this phone on eBay, but I found it at the same price here on Amazon (once you figure shipping and everything).The sound quality is very clear, and the range is quite good.It does not interfere with my wireless 802.11g network at all.I have only a few complaints. The buttons on the base station are small and not laid out too intuitively. You have to clear the Caller ID info on the handset(s) and the base station individually. And the ringer on the base station has 3 settings; Annoying, Very annoying, and Off (The handset ringers are pretty good though). The battery life so far has been fine.I like that you can transfer phonebooks between the handset and the base station, and that you can check messages from the base station or the handset.I researched quite a few 5.8GHz phones, including all of the similar Panasonics, most of the Motorolas, and a few of the VTechs.And this family of Uniden phones (there are 2 handset and 3 handset versions also) seemed to be the best.

AT&T EP5995 - 5.8GHz Expandable Cordless Answering System with Dial-In-Base Speakerphone Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After reviewing cordless phones and looking at them, We picked this one based on consumer report and buyer reviews in addition to features and looks of course. We also needed a multi handset system and this one can support up to 8 handsets. We also needed a system that would not interfere in our wireless computer network. We had a multi handset system which was 2 years old but did interfere and would often cause problems. This was super easy to install and set up. It is similar to using a cell phone and has many of the same features. We love the ability to display pictures and animations along with being able to name each handset which we named for each room they belong in. We have always had problems with knowing where our old handsets belonged and would have to find the empty base from which it had been taken. Another cool feature is that you can record your own music or sounds for your ringer if you want. We also love the intercom capability which our old system had but this is much better. We have had these for almost a month and have had no problems with them or any of the functions or features. We have not set up our directory yet so don't know how that part works yet. The handsets are a little larger than our old ones but still very nice looking and the small bases are very stable which is much better than our old ones. The base unit is excellent in that it is really easy to use all the features on it, it has buttons so you can use the base without the handset which is always nice to be able to answer your phone when someone forgot to replace the handset! It also has a battery storage place which takes the same battery as the system and will allow your base unit to work in case of a power outage. We didn't realize this when we purchased this but would have bought the extra battery at the same time had we known.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The phone looks cool, but it stops there.

The battery does not hold charge and VTECH customer support has repeatedly ignored requests for a replacement.I would shop other phones.This has been a disaster of an experience.

Panasonic KX-TG5240M GigaRange Supreme 5.8 GHz DSS Expandable Cordless Phone with Answering System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Before I start my review, let me point out that I've been using Panasonic phones for years, and I'm quite familiar with their phones. And every time buying a new phone, another feature is missing. So to date, I have so many features missing, I wish I could get back to my old phone from 8 years ago. And let me explain.
The TG-5240 Is replacing my TG-2257. I'm not crazy about the new hot orange color on the handsets LCD and keys. I would like blue better. Voice quality is clear and good. No problems so far. But the new missing feature is: on all my phones until now, whenever I playback a message and the handset is on the base, the caller ID shows while the message is playing. NO MORE! The handset just doesn't care I'm listening to my messages, it just shows me a freaking 'CHARGING...' message. So I have to figure out who is the voice talking on the message. I really miss that feature. (actually, according to the user manual, it supposed to work with the caller ID showing, but for some reason it's not working on my phone. I will contact Panasonic for that).
The talking caller ID is really weird. It reads the names very funny, and "out of the area" calls it always saying 'unavailable' and bla bla bla... I just hate it. Fortunately, you can turn it OFF (as I did). You can have this feature on or off independent on the base or the handset.
The recording in the answering machine has 2 modes. Standard, and Enhanced recording (for better sound quality), which reduces recording time in half (from 16 minutes to 8 minutes).
Another good feature (copied from cell phones) that if somebody is calling you and you don't want to pickup the phone, and you want to turn off the ringer now (for this call only), you could press the 'Off' button (which is as the 'end' key in a cell phone), and the ringer will turn off. The call will be transferred to the answering machine, of course.
There are many things more similar to cell phones in this phones. A few examples: A selection of many ringer tones with some musical ringers; When you come home you don't see any more on the handset LCD '5 new calls' or (like my previous TG-2257) 'new calls received', but you see '5 missed calls'.
A new feature on this phone, that on the top of the antenna of the handset there is an indicator lamp (which is flashing while the phone is ringing), and you have an option to set that if you have a new message, the lamp will flash, even the handset is off the base. So you don't have to go to your base to check for new messages. You just see the indicator lamp flashing slowly on the handset, and you press the soft button 'play', and you hear the messages on the handset speaker. Smart!
I also like that lately in Panasonic phones you have a redial list of the last 5 outgoing calls (Although some others have a list of the last 10 calls).
Let's go over some things Panasonic used to offer on their previous phones and now you can't get it any more, and I really missed them all.
1) LCD on the base to show Caller ID and other info. (even on the older models that do have it, it was never backlit).
2) In the good old days, the answering system had a 'fast talk' feature on message playback, so if somebody is talking too slowly, you can make it play faster by about 30%. And you was also able to rewind it fast (also about 30% faster than 1X the speed). (much like your CD players rewind and fast forward functions, when you press the forward button and hold it, it plays faster and while pressing and holding the rewind button it's rewinding but you can hear it. This was very useful for me in many situations, for example: you have a long message from your friend, with a return phone number at the end of the message, and I just wanted to re-listen to the phone number, I was able to rewind as many times as I wanted to listen to that phone number. Or restart the message from the beginning and fast forward it to the point you want to listen (you know, we're always in a hurry...)
In the newer Panasonic phones (last 4-5 years or so), if you press rewind - even if you keep holding it, it will return to the beginning of the message or to the previous message, same as forward will move it to the next message. Also, the last few years they have a new useless feature called 'Slow talk', so you can play the message about 30% slower than usual! I never used that feature. But for you people who did used it, be advised that this feature has been eliminated from this phone. No more slow or fast talk - just regular speed.
Now, let me describe some features Panasonic never had, but other competitors do have them, and would be nice to see them in upcoming Panasonic telephones (I hope Panasonic is reading the reviews).
1) Show the time (and date) on the handset when not in use.
2) Automatically adjust time when a caller calls in (with caller ID). In Panasonic phones you have to set it first manually, and caller ID will adjust the time if the time is incorrect. But if the date & time have not been previously set, caller ID information will not adjust the date & time.
Sorry for my long review. I hope you'll find some useful information.

Product Description:
Panasonic's KX-TG5240M utilizes the 5.8 GHz band and digital frequency-hopping spread spectrum technology for increased call security and range and for less interference. This system comes with one handset but can accommodate up to three more (for a total of four). Compatible with Caller ID/call waiting, the KX-TG5240M offers a 50-station caller ID memory and dialer, accessible through the handset's three-line backlit LCD. It also features talking caller ID, which audibly announces who's calling through the handset and base speakerphones. Rounding out the main features are an integrated digital answering system and a light-up antenna on the handset that flashes to alert you to new calls and messages. The handsets also offer a variety of ring tones and melodies to choose from.
The KX-TG5240M allows you to pre-program frequently called numbers, even for chain dialing (ideal for calling automated systems that require a series of numeric inputs). It's also Caller IQ compatible, a service provides updates on weather, sports, horoscopes, and more; the information is sent directly to your telephone and displayed on the handset screen. (Caller ID and call waiting require subscription through your phone company. Caller IQ is a fee based service that requires registration.)

Uniden TRU8885-2 5.8 GHz Digital Cordless Phone with Dual Handsets and Answering System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been wanting to get a 5.8ghz phone system for a while, but all previous models seemed to always have some kind of major shortcoming.Seems Uniden recognized this and came out with a model to beat all previous ones.
The 8885 and 8865 models are newer versions of their old 5860/85 lines.It has pretty much any feature you could want.
Just to highlight some of the strong points:
1. Nice phone design.Perfect size and not as ugly as the previous model.
2. Perfect reception.Anywhere in our house the phone is crystal clear.
3. Speakerphone in the base and from every handset.
4. Intercom/Paging between phones
5. 100 number phonebook (although it shares entries with callerid).You can keep separate phonebooks per phone, or download the phonebook from other phones.
6. DirectLink mode, where you can use the handsets as walkie-talkies.Although in my opinion the phones are a tad too big to carry around with you everywhere, but it might be nice for specific situations.I haven't tested the range though.
7. You can have the base + 2 handsets speaking on the line at the same time.The previous model was limited to 1 handset per conversation.
8. Customizable ringtones - can assign a certain ringtone to a certain caller so you know who they are.Can only use the builtin tones though.
9. Handsets have a plug to use with a headset for handsfree operation
10. Can access the voicemail from any of the handsets, not just from the base.
Those are just some of the major features, there's plenty of other little bells and whistles to configure the phone.
My only 2 complaint is that incoming caller ID gets stored on every phone.There is no way to just delete it from all phones at once.You need to go to each phone individually to delete the callerid list.Fortunately there is a delete all option.
One other potential complaint is that you can't set up separate mailboxes on the answering machine.I know some of the other brands let you do this.No biggee for me as I wouldn't use the feature anyways, but might be important to some.
Those might just be nitpicks though.This system really exceeded my expectations and I give it the highest recommendation possible.

Product Description:
The TRU8885-2 from Uniden is a cordless phone with a built-in answering machine, caller ID compatibility, and expandability to 10 handsets (model TCX800). It comes with two handsets, one that recharges in the base unit and another that recharges in the included remote charging cradle. That latter requires only an AC outlet, so you don't have to worry about additional phone jacks.
By using the less-cluttered 5.8 GHz frequency, the TRU8885-2 is able to offer a clearer, more intelligible signal than older phones operating on lower bands. Caller ID/call waiting compatible (requires subscription through your local phone company), the TRU8885-2 holds up to 200 numbers in its internal caller ID/phone directory (100 on the base, 100 on the handset), while the display-and-dial feature allows you to quickly scroll through the caller ID list and dial the displayed number with the touch of a button. Ten speed-dial presets allow you to easily call the most frequently used outgoing numbers, and an alphabetical search feature provides an easy way to locate numbers stored in the internal memory.

Handset and base speakerphones provide a hands-free communication method, while a direct link mode allows you to use the handsets as walkie-talkies. Four-way conferencing allows several phones to communicate with an outside call. An intercom function enables communication with other phones on the same system, and the call transfer feature lets you transfer calls from the base phone to the handset and vice versa.
The all-digital answering machine has a 12-minute maximum record time and a four-minute maximum message length. A conversation record feature provides a quick and easy way to save important information such as directions, while full remote operation allows you to check your messages even when you are away from home. A page/handset locater feature makes finding a lost handset quick and painless. Handset and ringer controls let you adjust volume levels to your liking, while the redial button automatically calls the last three outgoing numbers. The TRU8885-2 also comes with a one-year limited warranty.
What's in the Box
Base, two handsets, remote charging cradle, two battery packs, two AC adapters, one telephone line cord, two belt clips, user's manual, and warranty information

Sharp UX-D1200 Broadband Fax Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)From day one this machine would jamb during every other fax transmission. We experienced nothing but frustration with it until it finally ceased to even receive faxes. Evidently something happened internally and it began stripping the fax tone from the incoming fax call. Consequently, the phone would ring and ring without ever connecting to receive the fax. We sent it back as defective and purchased a Brother machine instead. I do not recommend this device.

Uniden DECT 1060 DECT6.0 Expandable Cordless Phone System with Call Waiting/Caller ID Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Uniden has fixed some chronic flaws found in its previous phones, and left a few small flaws in.

THE GOOD:
*NO WIFI INTERFERENCE. This phone works well without interfering with today's (or tomorrow's) WiFi Networks
*SOUND QUALITY IS VERY GOOD, both receiving and transmitting. Uniden's microphones have been consistently horrible in the past, and I am delighted to see that they have fixed this.
*FORM FACTOR IS NICE. Not overly sleek and trendy, but not clunky at all.The most commonly used features are quick to access with only one or two button presses, with a few exceptions (see THE UGLY, below).
*GOOD RANGE. The lower frequency band of 1.9 GHz allows for a slightly greater range than the overhyped 5.8 GHz band.Works a little better through plaster walls.
*NAME YOUR HANDSET. Each handset is nameable. This greatly simplifies paging and conference calling.(Despite previous statements, multi-handset calls ARE possible, but they must be initiated by the handset making the call - you can't just pick up the extension.)

THE BAD:
*NO HEADSET JACK OR BLUETOOTH.Cordless phones should have some kind of handsfree option besides a speakerphone setting, but this one doesn't.I have a dedicated cordless headset, so this was not an essential feature for me.The handset's speakerphone works okay.
*CALLER ID DOESN'T DISPLAY THE PHONEBOOK NAME.This is pretty basic these days, but Uniden still hasn't caught up.When people listed in my Phonebook call me from a cell phone, I want their NAME to display, not just WIRELESS CALLER.This is not a deal breaker, but certainly an annoying oversight.

THE UGLY:
*THE ALERT THAT WOULDN'T DIE. Despite being able to turn all the sound alerts off, the phone still makes a loud and irritating BLURRRP! when you drop it into the charging cradle.Better not drop it in the bedroom cradle to charge while your spouse is sleeping.
*HOW DO I ...?To keep the phone sleek, some functions are a little more hidden than they should be.You will have to consult the manual to learn how to insert a pause into a Phonebook number, muting requires three button presses (You CAN mute the handsets, despite comments made elsewhere), and some phone settings are only available in certain modes, not universally available through the Menu button.Examples: Sound Enhancer is only accessible WHILE you are making a call, and Phonebook settings can only be made WHILE you are in the phonebook.There is a reason why a previous reviewer thought you couldn't have multi-handset conversations or couldn't mute the phone; you really have to read the manual.There are only a few of these hidden technical features though, and dang, the phone does look good.

I bought the version of this phone that includes an extra handset and charger.

Uniden CellLink ELBT595 5.8 GHz Digital Expandable Cordless Flip Phone with Color LCD, Answering System, and Bluetooth Capability (Titanium) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was all hyped up about getting this phone and that feeling faded after only 24hrs of owning it. This phone represents a good try by Uniden, but I feel that it needs to go back for a version 2. First, for me, the ringers on this phone do not ring loud enough (with a few expectations)....Uniden does allow you to set the base station to ring, and it does ring loudly (too loudly at night) but that defeats the reason to have a cordless phone if you are attached to the base station all day. The LCD on the closed clamshell isn't very good. It is easier to read when the backlighting is off then when on. The hinge on my phone squeaked when opening and closing and the keys on the handset feel cheap, not what you should expect from at $250 phone. The software to program the phone is nice, easy to use, and made it really convenient to program in over 50 names and reminder dates, but it would have been nice if Uniden would have allowed you to download ringtones into the phone via the software and USB cable, rather then having to record it into the phone via a mic or a line setup. The color screen is nice and bright, but too small...its like 150 pixels X 150 pixels and the images you can download for your contacts become the size of a postage stamp CUT IN HALF!!Overall it is an average phone, not worth $250, maybe $160....all I know is mine is going back to the store for a refund. See you next time Uniden.

How Does Bluetooth Work?
Bluetooth technology has been incorporated into this phone to make it easy to communicate with either a Bluetooth-enabled cell phone or a wireless headset. You don't even have to think about it. Bluetooth doesn't require you to do anything special to make it work. The devices find each other and strike up a conversation without any user input at all. Now you can tap into your cell phone minutes to take advantage of your cellular plan, or just go hands-free using your land line for crystal-clear communication anywhere in the house.
How Does CellLink Work?
Uniden CellLink technology lets you easily take advantage of your cell phone's minutes. If you have a Bluetooth v1.1 compliant mobile phone and register it to the base, you can make or receive a call through your mobile line as well as your normal land line. To use your mobile line, press the Mobile soft key. The two lines will be completely independent on your ELBT595. For example, you can have one handset operating on the land line while another handset and the base unit participate in a three-way conference call on the mobile line. However, you cannot make or receive a land line call using a Bluetooth mobile phone, and a Bluetooth mobile phone will not ring when the ELBT595 receives a land line calI.

Easy, Powerful Features

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)if you need to send faxes it is ok, the memory seems to get overloaded if you send more than 5-6 pages. the print quality on the recieve side i have found to be on the poor side and the auto fax answer switch mode does not work with my VOIP service. the copying is ok.

the phone is good, but, again, does not interact well with VOIP service and cannot indicate when i have voicemail waiting due to the internal answering machine.

it comes with a rather limited print ribbon/film, so i would suggest getting an extra one if you decide on buying one of these units, and use it to recieve faxes.

just about acceptable for small home office use.

Panasonic 5.8 GHZ Single Handset System Expandable Digital Cordless Answering System (KX-TG4321B) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)What I like most about this phone is that it uses 2 AAA batteries (rechargeable included). The battery in my previous phone would die every year and its cost was ~17$ (almost half the price of a new phone).

Pros: Very good voice quality (also with the speaker), easy to use answering machine, light weight, 5.8G doesn't interfere with my wireless.

Cons: none so far.

Product Description:
Packed with contemporary features, the Panasonic KX-TG4321B 5.8 GHz Expandable Cordless Digital Answering Phone System includes handy call waiting and caller ID features, an all-digital answering machine with 12 minutes of recording time, a 50-station shared phonebook, and a digital handset speakerphone.
With the Panasonic answering system, you'll never miss important calls, even when the ringer is off. The integrated light-up indicator featured at the base of the handset's antenna will flash quickly when an incoming call is in progress, and will flash slowly to let you know you have a new message. Should you choose to expand the answering system to include additional handsets, each handset can be programmed to ring or simply flash at your discretion. The system is compatible with up to three additional handsets (for a total of four).
In addition to the standard call waiting feature, this system comes with call waiting caller ID2, a feature that allows you to see who's calling you if you're already taking a call. Other great features include a 50-station shared phonebook, a handy charge indicator, a backlit LCD display, and a convenient intercom feature. Providing up to five hours of cordless talk time, the handset's rechargeable Ni-MH battery offers up to 11 days of uncharged standby battery life.

AT&T EL42208 5.8GHz Dual Handset Answering System (White) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I wish I had read Stephen's review first. Fortunately I have a receipt and can return it. I got it for my folks so that we could have long distance 3-way conversations. What in the world were they thinking when they made this phone to allow only one handset at a time to be used? Privacy? I guess...
If you're the type of person who gets on the phone and yaks for hours on end till you run the battery dead, this might be just the phone for you. You'll always have a second handset fully charged.
It does have good sound, though I don't know about the range, I tested it in a dinky 800 sq. ft. apartment.
Aside from that, it's very light weight and seems like it might break pretty easily so I wouldn't advise buying it for a house with kids.

Uniden DECT2085-2 DECT 6.0 Cordless Phone/Answering System with One Extra Handset/Cradle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had 2 good Unidens in the past, I was never too thrilled with my current 2.4GHz VTech system, and I have TWO different friends with 5.8GHz Panasonic's that they are ready to use for shooting practice...
I was therefore very careful in my new purchase and I've tested every aspect of this system in the last 2 weeks - it passes with flying colors!

- Most importantly, this 1.9GHz system imparts no interference to my wireless router, parked just 3 feet away... and while it doesn't penetrate a metal garage door if you're standing right behind it, I can walk out the front door and talk clearly until I'm halfway past my THIRD neighbor's house.

- These NiMH batteries have given me 4 days off the charger WITH 4 hours of talktime, and the charging seems to be 'smart' because they never get very warm, and get cool when fully charged. Oh, and the the handsets have actual battery gauges instead of just beeps to tell you you're about to lose the call...

- The speakerphones are quite good in both the handsets and the base-station, and when you've left the handset in another room you'll wonder how you ever lived without Caller ID and dialing on the base.

- All the various volumes and ringers are adequately loud and I find most all the controls and menu functions intuitive. The single exception is the 'hold' function, which ought to be a single key-press, but requires pushing Intercom, then Select and then Hang-up to stop everything from ringing... I also love (maybe common nowadays) the answering machine message indicators on the handsets and the ability to both retrieve messages from the handsets and also to monitor an incoming message.

As you can tell, I'm VERY happy with my new system, and I hope it lasts a long time (like my previous Unidens...)

Call Waiting/Caller ID Special Features
Managing your calls can sometimes be difficult, especially when you receive one call while you're still dealing with another. The DECT2085-2 helps keep things simple by displaying the name and number of the caller in call waiting even while you're on the phone (note: to activate the caller ID feature, you must first subscribe through your telephone company). You can also use the base as a speaker phone, transfer calls between handsets, and intercom between the handsets and the base for easy conferencing. Finally, personalized ringers let you know who's calling before you pick up the phone. Should your family grow, this system easily expands to up to six handsets.

Panasonic KX-TGA600B 5.8 GHz Expandable Digital Cordless Handset (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is only the third cordless phone I have ever owned. All three have been Panasonics, with the first one being bought 16 years ago. The first one died after a bad fall, and the second was retired to purchase this current phone system (multiple handsets), that is being used on a Vonage phone system (love it). These new phones have Voice Enhancer (VE), which really makes a difference by canceling out background noise. I also like the antenna-less design. It has a large phone directory that works similar to cell phone directories. It also has a built in speaker phone in the handset that makes retrieving voice mail very simple as you don't have to put the phone up to your ear to hear the next prompt. All-in-all a great phone.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is an excellent phone set. I've had this set for last 6 months now.

The voice is crystal clear, crisp quality.

Even the speakerphone is so good. Another good thing is that you can use the phone on speakerphone while also charging the battery at the same time. That was an important factor for me as I've to be on conf calls for several hours.

Range is quite good too for this cordless. Also, no interference with any other devices in home.
