Issue after issue with this phone. Not worth purchasing........2007-06-25

I just recently purchased this phone and have been using it for a little over a month now. The phone works good but does INTERFERE with our wireless Internet. Often times people ask me where I am or if I'm outside because the phone sounds extremely crackly (on their end). Also, this phone's base station has very short-range before I'll lose signal. Being that this phone has such short range, from the base station, whenever I pick-up the phone to make a call it takes a while to search for the base station and in some instances CAN'T FIND IT. Whenever the phone can't find the base station I'll have to walk several rooms over so that I'm within 10 feet or so of the base which is absolutely ridiculous and defeats the purpose of having this phone as a multi-room setup!

One of the biggest downfalls, besides wireless interference and short-range base station, and I can't believe that they would even sell a phone with this issue is that YOU CAN'T EDIT NUMBERS IN THE PHONE BOOK WITHOUT ERASING THEM FIRST. This is absolutely ridiculous that you can't move the cursor to insert numbers like a "1" to the beginning of a number or just correct a mistake you made. This means that if someone calls you and you want to save their number you have to write it down and then add it to the phone book so you can include a "1" at the beginning or the phone can't make the call. That is just unbelievable and pure implementation laziness.

I've included a list of pros and cons below which I believe outline the many shortcomings of this phone system. This phone was a waste of money and I would've returned it had the 30 days not have come and gone. The next phone I purchase will most definitely be a DECT phone and one without all the issues below.

PROS
- Expandable phone system
- Wall-mountable base unit
- Speakerphone works like a champ (when the phone works)

CONS (too many)
- Interferes with wireless Internet
- Base station has very short-range before signal is lost
- Can't edit numbers in the phone book (without erasing it, just ridiculous)
- Answering machine message sounds horrible
- Local area code isn't dialed for seven-digit numbers (I saved the area code in the settings but never works like it should)

I don't recommend this phone.

Perfect Upgrade.......2007-06-06

I have had this system along with some additional handsets and love it. It is a great looking phone which means I don't mind having them out. It also has a lost phone feature which is nice. It numbers the phones for you which while I would rather name them myself does enable the lost phone feature to work. It's range is really good as we have it hooked up to a VoIP system in a good size house with plaster over drywall lathe (a hard wall for wireless) and have had few connection problems. The screens are very readable and the buttons are very spaced out and easy to read and push. The phone fits in between the neck and ear comfortably for "hands free" as well as in your hand.

Overall this phone far out performs the TRU885 that we had before and had either lost or broken most of the handsets, but again the construction of our house is a torture chamber for wireless signals. I am sorry to see that Amazon has upped their shipping time on this product, but I wouldn't let that discourage you from buying the product. When I bought my system, it was 3 to 4 weeks and they exceed that time estimate.

A phone that temps you to make and pick up calls.......2007-05-21

I was taking a fair amount of risk when ordering this phone, because it's a new model from Uniden and I couldn't find any user review on the web. It turned out to be worth every penny of it. With a very sleek look, it's easy to set up, has all the functions I ever need--caller id, address book, conference, digital answering system and intercom (walkie-talkie) which is perfect for a family or shared apt. It feels great in the hand and the sound is crystal clear. The only imperfectness I noticed is that there's a little voice delay, which could very possibly be due to my VOIP service. My roommates love it too and I'm happy to have picked it.

This phone sucks, the range is Sad.......2007-06-21

My Mom and I decided to get a new house phone, because our good old Trustworthy Panasonic 900Mhz phone finally gave up on us. This was a good phone range was about full house and little bit outside. We went to Target to look and saw several cordless phones, and decided to go with this one because it was on sale for 100 dollars. Also i have a Uniden that still works after 7 years and it had great range for being 2.4 ghz, so i told her to go with Uniden. We got home and plugged them in to charge for about 16 hours. Then we finally removed the good old Panasonic phone and plugged this one in. Pros, i LOVE the look of this phone, it looks nice. The menu is also easy to use, really easy to figure out. The Features on this phone is pretty good, call waiting (Don't really use), Caller ID, you can also put up to 80 people in the phone book. Which is nice so you know who is calling you. Now the Cons: The Ringer is really quiet and i think should be louder then it is, even on max volume. Its hard to hear when its dead quiet, and even harder when their are noises. (cleaning, TV, etc.) Ok no big deal, i can deal with a quiet ringer i couldn't get that picky, because other phone was dead and we need a house phone. The biggest problem with this phone is the RANGE SUCKS, i mean my old Panasonic, 900mhz Uniden, 2.4 ghz and every other phone i know can beat the range of this phone with no problems. Our house is only 1500 square feet, so its pretty small. Yet it only works good in about a 20-25 foot range from the home base. After that it drops calls, (Not even crackly, just drops) the phones in other rooms Never ring because their "To Far" from the base. I Have the main unit in Kitchen, second is in my Bedroom, and last is in the sewing room. I have had a Cordless Expandable before and they have no issues with my small house. This phone was a BIG Disappointment, the Range is so bad, it just kills it. I don't understand why a 900mhz phone can have better range then a 5.4ghz phone. I don't need a phone that will work all the way down the block just one just covers a small 1500 square foot house. I cannot Imagine trying to get this phone to work in a bigger house. This phone is going back.

below my expectations........2007-06-09

Definitely not worth the money. I bought it for the list of features and the advertised benefits of 5.8 GHz over my older 2.4GHz system. What a disappointment!
This is the first phone system of this class that I see missing wall mounting options: the shape of the unit is ideal for wall mounting, but there are no connectors. The handsets are not eye-pleasing, to say the least. The handsets are too small and too crowded with buttons to be held between your head and your shoulder. There are also no headphone jacks and belt clips, so hands-free operation is not possible. I owned decent 2.4 GHz phones for many years and was anticipating the 5.8 GHz phone to surpass them in signal quality and range. It did not. In fact, the sound quality is mediocre to poor, and deteriorates to crackling when, for example, the basement unit is taken to the second floor. I did not see any improvements in the operation of my Wi-Fi network after switching from my old 2.4 GHz phone to this one. This, however, may indicate that the interference was negligible to start with.
I give it two stars rather than one because it does work somehow and was easy to setup.

A terrific phone system.......2007-05-19

This system has easy to understand start up instructions. It has many features found on your cell phone: phone book, caller id; special rings for special people. Good transmission when phone is outside and away from base.

Good phone.......2007-05-12

I have been pretty happy with this phone. The ringer could be a little louder and I have a dead spot around my house which may not be the fault of the phone. I also wish it had a belt clip.

But it's a very good phone and the battery life is excellent.

Customer Reviews:

Great bang for the buck!.......2006-10-09

Love this phone. It is everything it promises to be. The only small thing that could use some improvement is the speaker quality, but not a big deal. Great technology overall and highly recommended!

Bluetooth didn't work and software isn't Mac compatible.......2006-08-25

When I received my phone, the battery was defective. I ordered a replacement battery but still could not pair the phone to anything (I have plenty of experience with bluetooth pairing). Top it all off with the fact that the software only works on Windows, my only option to load phonebook entries into this phone would be manual entry. The interface of the flip phone was something out of the 1990s -- kludgy and childish. The available ring tones are from the same generation. Aside from the technical problems that I encountered, I thought this was a pretty lousy phone.

Great Phone.......2006-04-13

I bought this phone about a year ago when it first came out. Having been "hooked" by Bluetooth headsets when they first came out on the Ericsson T68i Cellphone, I was anxious to try a Desktop phone with buetooth.

I have not been disappointed with this phone. It pairs simply and successfully with Both my Jabra BT 500, as well as my BT 250V. I can literally be sitting at my desk at my home office, on a concall on the land line (uniden), and taking another call in the other ear from the cell phone (blackberry). This is great since being in software I have lots and lots of con calls to be on each day.

If I had one complaint, it would be battery life on the handset. I only seem to get about three hours of continuous talktime. The Jabra outlasts the handset 2.5 times!

Oh, and one other thing, while Bluetooth technology claims a distance of 10 meters, I have never been able to get this from a cell phone, not that big of a deal, as the phone is usually in the laptop bag or clipped to the belt. The uniden however, on a Bluetooth call, allows me to go from my office, all the way to my mailbox. Office is at the back of the house, so this is WAAAAAAY more than 10 meters. Has anyone else experienced this? I am wondering if you get more distance since the phone is plugged into an AC power source. All in all, this is a great phone, and I highly recommend it!

Works as a 2-line phone when registered w/ TRU-8866.......2006-02-28

I purchased this handset so that I could use my bluethooth headset with my Uniden 2-line TRU-8866 home phone system. The bluetooth headset worked as expected with the handset. The bonus is that I was able to register this handset with my 2-line TRU-8866 base station and the handset allows me access to both lines!

Uniden is doing a great job on these multi-handset / multi-line 5.8ghz phone sets!

Great implementation and easy to use.......2005-09-20

I have this phone paired with a Plantronics M2500 headset. The talk quality is great and while the distance is limited to about 10 feet, it is ok for me as long as you can use the belt clip to take the handset along for the ride.

The phone is very intuitive for those that have used cellphones in the past and I was able to do most of the set up without even looking at the manual. I had to refer to the manuals for bluetooth pairing and a few features that I could not make out, but within an hour, I had the phone set up, and even proceeded to record my own ringtones which is a nice feature. Just wish I could copy the same ring tones to the base.

For this first implementation of the bluetooth enabled home phone, I am pleasantly surprised that Uniden did such a fine job.

Average customer rating: Pretty good but not for me.

The remanufactured TRU-8865 cordless phone system offers an attractive bundle of features with room to grow. The system operates on the 5.8 GHz frequency, which is able to offer clearer, more intelligible reception than cordless phones working on the more-crowded 900 MHz or 2.4 GHz bands. More significantly, the system can be expanded up to 10 total handsets using only a single phone jack, so you can place handsets in virtually any room in the home for the ultimate in telephone access. Ideal for large families or large households, the TRU-8865 keeps you connected at all times.

The phone's caller ID/call waiting function (subscription required) displays the name and number of an incoming caller even when you're on the phone with someone else. This function is particularly useful for busy phone users who anticipate important calls but don't want to interrupt their conversations unless absolutely necessary. In a related vein, the phone's base includes a 100-number caller ID log, while the handset stores up to 50 locations by itself, so you can keep track of incoming calls and store the most important phone numbers for easy recall. Plus, you can use the handsets in DirectLink (walkie-talkie) mode to communicate with other handsets in the system--a fun, convenient way to notify kids that it's time for dinner.

New parents will appreciate the room/baby monitoring setting, which lets you hear audio from another handset location. And home business owners will dig the four-way conference calling, which links two cordless handsets with the base unit and an outside line. Add easy-to-use menu-driven LCD displays and a page button that makes it a breeze to find a lost handset and you have a versatile phone system that excels in almost any household.

Uniden also added handset and base speakerphones, an illuminated keypad, a handset-to-handset transfer function, 20 distinctive ringer options (10 melodies and 10 ring tones), and independent handset and ringer controls that let you adjust volume levels to your liking.

Finally, the TRU-8865's cordless handset is compatible with a separately sold headset for hands-free communication. And as with all Uniden remanufactured phones, the wall-mountable system is backed by a 30-day limited warranty.

Pretty good but not for me........2007-01-05

I bought this looking for a really good speaker phone,which it is. I wear hearing aids on both ears so this is a nice feature.Unfortunately the handsets themselves are horrible for hearing aids. I probably should have checked for compatability but I really find it hard to believe that it isn't manditory on all phones by now. I also find the phone relatively complicated to put numbers into.
