Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars Don't buy it and be careful of other unidens.......2004-10-08

I bought this phone earlier this year because I needed a caller id phone and have been very unhappy with it. I read all the Amazon reviews, saw the great 5 star ratings as well as the complaints. I should have taken the complaints more seriously. All of them are true for my phone.

The reception is terrible -- every time I use it, the person at the other end hears static and my words get cut off. The battery gets low in 2 days and gives only about a one minute warning before it dies. Ergonically, it's very tiring to hold. Even at the highest volume, I have to strain to hear the other party.

I have a very old panasonic 900 mhz phone that works far better. I can talk for at least 5 minutes on a low battery notice and the reception is very good. If I pick up the uniden phone to answer, I have to switch to my panasonic if the conversation is longer. I only use the uniden phone to see who is calling and seldom actually use it to talk to people.

I am currently shopping for another phone and will make sure that it's not a Uniden.

1 out of 5 stars Dead Phone.......2004-05-27

I thought the sound quality was decent. However, the phone stopped functioning after less than a year. I changed the battery but to no avail.

5 out of 5 stars Ultimate drop-test.......2004-04-19

I was cleaning windows, THREE floors up, had this phone in my back pocket. Accidently bumped it from my pocket and it hit the pavement. It is still working just great. This has to break all
drop-test records. Go Uniden!

1 out of 5 stars Much worse than any cordless phone I've ever had.......2004-02-20

This phone cuts out only 2 rooms away from the base station. There is static noise, and callers on the other end complain about sound quality. I can't go into the garden, which used to be no problem with my old 900 MHz phone.

5 out of 5 stars Best phone I've ever had.......2004-02-13

Not only is this phone beautiful, it has exceptional sound clarity. Of all of the electronics I have purchased, I have rarely been more satisfied than I am with this Uniden. Some thoughts:

-Inset keypad is sturdy and won't go bad
-Easy to change volume on earpiece
-Speakerphone is not bad at all, I've used it many times in a crunch when others need to listen-in. Don't expect the other party to hear crystal clear sound but YOU will hear them perfectly.
-No distracting echo or buzz even though the base is next to my fridge and microwave.
-Speed Dial is needlessly confusing, so if you really value speed dial be sure to test the phone in a store. I'm an electronics whiz and I am befuddled by why speed dial is complicated here.
-Cool amber glow of both the keys and the screen.
