Uniden EXS-9995 900 MHz DSS 2-Line Cordless Phone with Answering System and Caller ID

Product Description

Amazon.com Review
The Uniden EXS9995 two-line cordless phone provides answering system organization for your busy family or home office. It combines everything you need, including a digital answering machine and compatibility with caller ID with call waiting services, into one easy-to-operate unit.

Before testing the Uniden EXS9995, we charged it for the recommended 15 to 20 hours. An additional handset battery (not included) can be charged in the base so there will always be a spare. A laminated quick guide is included for convenient reference for basic phone operations. The sturdy handset has an intuitive, backlit keypad and an LCD screen. Indicators let you know which line is in use. The conference and intercom buttons allow you to add a third and fourth party to conversations. Press the clock button and a digital voice announces the time and day.

Up to 30 numbers can be stored in memory and shared by both lines. We were easily able to store a number using the LCD and arrow keys on the handset. To dial a stored number, we simply pressed the memory button, found the number on the LCD and selected a line. If you subscribe to caller ID or call waiting, these functions are also performed using the handset and LCD. There is an 80-number caller ID memory. The handset can be positioned faceup on the base for quick caller identification.

The answering system operates independently for each phone line and the functions are located on the base. Two switches on the side of the base allow you to set the recording time for each line to one minute, four minutes, or announce only. Up to 30 minutes of messages and 10 minutes of a conversation can be recorded. You can access your messages remotely by setting up a PIN. Its convenient, large buttons help make the answering system easy to operate.

In our tests of the Uniden EXS9995, we were able to take the phone outside over 1,000 feet from the base and did not detect voice breakup at any point along the way. Although the range was impressive, we did notice a slight background hum even at close range, but it wasn't enough to be distracting.

With an included belt clip, headset compatibility, and extensive features, the Uniden EXS9995 covers your home answering system needs. --Emily Bakko

5 out of 5 stars Best Of All Worlds.......2005-02-04

Unfortunately, I'm afraid this phone represents a one-of-a-kind combination. Fortunately, I got mine while they're still available.

It is a 2-line phone that includes an all digital 30 minute answering system, 80 number Caller ID memory, a time/day stamp, 40 number memory dialing, and 3-line backlit display.

Additional features include a speakerphone, headset compatibility (headset included), a detachable belt clip, 4-way conferencing and a second battery (included) charging compartment in the base...this not only keeps the base unit powered in a power failure, but it also can be swapped out to the hand unit.

However, one of the most important features to me is the fact that it can be used as a wall phone. There are a number of phones available with similar features, but not one could be used as a wall phone. Since I wanted to use the phone in my kitchen, this Uniden model was the only one available from anyone, anywhere.

As far as performance...all features range from good to excellent!

I am very pleased with all aspects of this phone.

1 out of 5 stars Dead on Arrival.......2001-12-17

This is the second time I've had a Uniden phone. The first one lasted just a few months. I should have known better; this one was dead on arrival. After charging for 24 hours, the handset worked, but the speaker never worked. Given the nuisance of returning defective consumer electronics, I'll stick with Panasonic in the future.

3 out of 5 stars OK phone but answering machine needs work........2001-03-09

I like the lighted keypad, and the sound of the receiver seems good. One nice touch for me is that when you are done with a conversation and hang up, the time of the call remains on the receiver's display for a few seconds so that you can see how long the conversation was afterwards (as with long distance calls). Some phones I've used blank the display out as soon as you hang up, and I usually don't think of checking until it's too late. The answering machine is the weak link here. Its recording sound is not very good--too "digital" for my taste. It's recording volume also changes noticeably within a sentence, and words or numbers are sometimes distorted and hard to discern (at least for my ears). Also, though it has 30 minutes of recording time, it's only 15 minutes per phone line, even if one phone line gets more calls than the other. I would not recommend this phone if you're really picky about an answering machine's sound quality, though it may be acceptable to many.

3 out of 5 stars When will they make a perfect phone..........2001-03-05

1. Each memory location can only store up to 20 digits, not good for calling card type numbers which require about 28 or more digits. 2. Both lines can't answer incoming calls... if you get calls on both lines at the same time, answering service will only answer the first call while just ringing for the second line. 3. Spread spectrum security but only 2 digits for remote code access to the answering machine even though there is a 4 digit display... This is only from 4 days of usage. It's an OK phone.

4 out of 5 stars Great product, but with minor annoyances.......2001-02-18

After weeks of searching, this phone was the only one that came close to my requirements.

The range and areas you can take the phone are unbelievable. It works happily and without break up in my building, made of brick and concrete, and works in areas that I thought would not be possible inluding part way into the basement! The physical design is also great, the handset is about the perfect size for holding, and the base is also well designed. Functionality of the phone is also great, with one exception (covered later). The design of the keypad on the handset, although making some selections a little slow, does a lot to help stop you from making mistakes.

Being able to choose between allowing callers to record one or four minutes of message, and a remote message collection function that lets you know if there are no new messages by not picking up after the second ring is excellent. Having different greetings on each line is also pleasing.

The second battery in the base is exellent because it serves as a back up battery if the one in the handset dies, and as a backup power supply on the base if the mains go off. Battery life of both is also excellent, the handset going happily for up to two weeks without being put in the base to charge. Being able to have a two hour conversation when the mains were off really impressed me.

The possibility to have a headset connected with the handset makes conversations on the phone much easier, and allows you to have both hands free while you talk. The base and handset being able to each handle separate calls on the two lines is also excellent. Individually turning on and off answering for each line is another excellent feature.

One thing I have not noticed is the hum that other reviews have spoken about, although I live in Europe and our different mains supply and different power supply I use almost certainly explains that. There is 230volts here and I have the phone operating at 1 volt above its rated level (this is no problem) on the different to provided power supply. (shhh though, these phones are illegal to use in Europe because they operate in a section of the frequency spectrum where mobile phones in Euope operate, and its transmission power exceeds what is permitted in Europe. I got it through a friend because the corldless phones availabe in Europe are three times the price with less than half the functionality, and therefore pure crap next to this phone)

Now for the disappointments. Setting a name into the memory is horrible, and why I don't give this phone 5 stars. The keypad is not used like a mobile phone, you have only the up and down keys to scroll through all capital, small, and special characters to select the character each time. It would have been little extra effort from the programmers to use the keypad properly for this. The sound quality of both the handset and base are slightly disappointing, and you do have to speak up a little more on the handset than usual for the other person to hear you properly. The base can also handle a call as hands free, but the other person can't hear you unless you are almost shouting or hold the base right at your mouth. I expected better from Uniden on these. The other thing I don't like is that although you are able to record a conversation, that recording is only available in the phone digitally, and the phone puts in a beep every 15 seconds, so the other person knows you are recording the conversation. The solution to this is to make up your own cable that can go to the headset and a recorder, so recording a conversation is much more discrete.

Despite the minor disappointments, this phone is still the best overall I have found anywhere and at the price, you wont get better. I can fully recomend this phone to someone who is interested in it, and feel people can expect and get a great phone.
