The Uniden TRU8860-2 cordless phone system offers an attractive bundle of features, with room to grow. With 5.8 GHz digital signal transmission for increased call clarity and security, it also stores up to 100 calls in its caller ID log, includes handset speakerphone and conferencing capabilities, and can be expanded to 10 handsets (model TCX800).
The caller ID log shares space with a programmable memory and is accessed via the handset's three-line backlit LCD. It also features a thoughtful alphabetical search option (just like a cell phone), so you don't have to scroll from A-Z, and you can transfer stored numbers from one handset to another.
Additional features include call transfer between handsets, distinctive ring tones, household intercom, and even remote room monitoring (baby monitor). The TRU8860-2 requires just one phone jack, no matter how many handsets you add. Simply plug the base unit into a phone jack, and the additional handsets will configure themselves to "talk" directly with the base unit.

I own two separate sets of the 8860 phone (5 phones total). We have owned our first set for a year and all phones work very well with minimal interference and good range.
Excellent phones that work as advertised.......2007-06-06
Buying a phone these days is complicated. Not only are there lots of choices, but each phone gets both positive and negative reviews. My daughter bought a Uniden phone system similar to the 8860 and kept encouraging us to get it. I spent weeks reading reviews of everything. I finally chose the brand that she had chosen, although her model # is no longer available. This is a great system. Truly "plug and play". The menus are simple. It has incredible capabilities. The sound is excellent, including the speakers. These are the best telephones we have ever had in our house. And I was able to go to the office supply store and purchase additional phones for the system at a reasonable price.
Love this Phone System.......2006-08-03
We have been using the TRU8860 for about a year. We had two to start with and added two more this summer. We have a large two story home with phones on both levels. It is great to have the same phone book in all 4 phones. We can use them all over our neighborhood. Just great phones
TRU8860 - great phones.......2006-07-21
I can see why there is both glowing and hateful reviews on this 8860, all at the same time. Its one of those products that works well, when it works. Initially, its good. Then it starts to go sour and fail. I'm on my 2nd pair of phones, over the past year. So I now know I didnt just have a lemon.
Good and Bad at the same time - Unreliable, Cheap.......2006-03-30
Pros:
- looks, works nice.
- speakerphone feature is good, handy.
- good price for 2 phones.
- 5.8GHz doesnt conflict with my Wi-Fi 802.11g LAN AFAIK.
Cons:
- not as smart as the Siemens cordless it replaced.
- sound not as clear as the Motorola it replaced.
- range pretty short, probably 100 feet or so.
- battery life 3 days now, used to be 7 days when new. NiMH.
- base station can lockup, and then everyone that calls, just gets busy signal 24/7 until you are told about it, and then have to do complicated reset of the system, erasing all speed dial, callerid, etc.
First time it happened, I didnt realize, so I called the phone company repair line... DOH! Now I know better, that its this crappy cheap electronics well all suffer with today.
- everytime you try and save a callerid, or dialed number, it says'out of memory' from all your callerid, it wants you to clear. Whats the sense then? I gave up trying to teach it my frequent numbers, which is a first for my cordless phones.
- phone 'out of range' often, or no dial tone, have to do complicated resets of base, handset, that are not on web site or manual. have to call in and get instructions (remove cover, unplug battery, while holding down * & # keys, plug in battery, then let keys go. Now press top right 3rd soft key below LCD display and reset eeprom. Place in base and re-register. If you get 'Registration Failed' then press End & # together until it says 'Registered'. Otherwise, you may have to get it repaired/replaced according to Uniden).
I've had Panasonic, Siemens, Sony, V-Tech, Motorola, and Southwest Bell cordless phones over the years. This is disposable stuff, it seems.
I like it enough, that I want to keep using it, but it keeps dying on me so that I cannot have reliable phone service.
Its like a VW or Apple, looks pretty, so you buy it, then you find out they spent more on design than they did on engineering... :(
I was so tempted to give it 1 star, but I guess its good, when it does work.
i bought this phone's cousin (with the keypad, answering machine base) for myself six months ago, and like it a lot. i've since referred it to two other people who both had histories of crappy cordless home phones. they both bought this phone and both love it.
a great phone.......2006-02-22
only identified probems: when recalling a caller id number, the phone will not add a 1 for out-of-area calls. so the CID return feature only works for numbers in my area code. once in a great while the phone, when picked up off the receiver, will search and not connect giving an "out of range" message. while this sounds like a major problem, it happens rarely and is fixed by simply picking up the speaker phone on the base.Electronics:
