The EXAi-398i from Uniden is a 900 MHz cordless phone with a number of attractive features and a very reasonable price tag. Caller ID and call waiting compatible, the EXAi-398i provides 30 caller-ID memory locations, letting you easily see who called and when, and easily dial them back. A 10-number speed dial memory lets you quickly program and dial the most frequently used numbers, while the redial feature lets you dial the last number called (up to 32 digits) with the touch of a button.
Wall-mountable, freeing up valuable desktop space, the EXAi-398i also features face up charging, so you can see the handset display while the phone is on the base. You can switch between pulse and tone dialing depending upon your needs, while a handset controls let you adjust volume levels to your liking.
The fully digital answering machine has a digital message counter so you can easily see how many calls you have received, while full remote operations lets you stay in touch even while you are away. The EXAi-398i provides up to 11 minutes of record time, and a voice time/date stamp lets you know when each call was received. A conversation record feature lets you record important information such as directions or phone numbers as they are being given.
A low battery indicator lets you know when to return the handset to its base for recharging. A page/handset locator button on the base makes finding a lost handset quick and painless, and headset compatibility (a belt clip is provided) makes hands-free communication easy. The EXAi-398i also comes backed with a limited one year parts and labor warranty.

Great tele @ a great price.......2004-03-04
Shipping was fast and it was packaged very well.
Had problems with this phone.......2004-02-03
Unfortunately, the problems began before the phone was finished charging. The caller ID worked exactly twice during its first day in operation. They are still listed in the phone's memory. Once the phone was fully charged, it quit. Now the phone says "Incoming Call" or once, "Data Incomplete". Just for kicks, I plugged in my old AT&T to test the caller ID. It works just fine on the old phone.
So this morning I called Uniden's Customer Service. Big mistake. The rep who answered the phone had such bad diction I could barely understand what he was trying to say. Uniden gave him a list of standard responses to read depending on the problem. If the problem doesn't fit into their box (the problem is with your house, your phone line, or the phone and it's your fault...fix it at your expense), they cannot help you. This is not the fault of the poor guy they have answering the phone; he's probably making minimum wage. This is the fault of Uniden for not giving consumers another recourse when the product is truly faulty.
As an aside, Amazon lists this phone as having 20 speed-dial presets, but there are only 10.
I'm returning this phone to Amazon and will not consider another Uniden product.
Good, cheap phone.......2004-02-03
There are only two minor quibbles that we've had with it so far, both related to the Caller ID function. First, we live in an area with 10-digit dialing (1 + area code before all numbers), and the Caller ID only keeps nine digits, making it impossible for us to call someone back using that function. Also, if you store a caller ID number in the phone's memory, it doesn't appear to be possible to edit that number after you've stored it, even though the manual implies otherwise (very annoying when all you want to do is add a "1" at the beginning of the number).
The sound quality is definitely a little more "hollow-sounding" than our previous phone, but it's still very clear and audible.
This is a good phone if you're looking for a cheap all-in-one phone/answering machine/Caller ID solution, and you don't have 10-digit dialing in your area. Not too many bells and whistles, and it's not as fancy as many of the more expensive phones out there, but it's a good value for the price nonetheless.
