This is an overall really nice phone. Has a lot of features that most phones do not have. I also liked the fact that I could record a phone conversation and that the phones could be used as a room monitor. That was a definate plus. The only thing that I didn't like about the phone was that it takes forever to erase the calls on the caller id.

Works well but has a drawback

Reviewed by none (Practical) from New Smyrna Beach, FL on Nov 13, 2006

It met all my expectations but one. I was told by Uniden Corporation that it had an auto-seeking function that would automatically switch frequencies (some phone have a manual button you push), if static interference occurs. It does not. Also it would be nice if the matching base unit had a headphone acces. jack like the hand-held units do. Otherwise it's a great system.

What a great system!

Reviewed by Homeschool Mom (Practical) from Littleton CO on Oct 03, 2006

When our last set of cordless phones went out, we went looking for a system that could support several handsets. The Uniden system has worked wonderfully for us. It can accommodate up to 10 handsets, which is great for our busy household. We especially love the intercom function. We constantly use them to communicate from room to room. The caller ID and the directory are easy to use and there are lots of ringtones to customize incoming callers. When one of the kids call from their cellphone, I use the "No Place Like Home" ringtone. That way I know it's from one of them right away. It's a great system!

Pros:	Clear Reception, Durable, Easy Controls
Best Uses:	Home

Accessory Handset - Uniden TXC905

Reviewed by Doug (Practical) from Boston, MA on Sep 26, 2006

Product [...] was a no-brainer to setup and use. It added on to the Uniden base station automatically by following the directions (charge overnight then place in base station for 20 seconds). Reception is perfect and the spearker phone and earphone features work well. The only Con is that adding phone numbers to the handset address book either before or after calling is NOT at all intuitive or obvious so don't lose the manual if you want to use this feature.

Good phone, missing a couple of features

Reviewed by Jim (Practical) from Santa Cruz, CA on Aug 23, 2006

I like this phone and it works well but it is a couple of features short of being really well designed. For one, you cannot use the caller ID to call people back who live long distance as the 1 does not show up on the screen. Also, the phone does not access your phone book when a call comes in so that you can see the name as you have recorded it. And three, I would like more than 3 numbers saved in the redial memory. Overall, though, the phone works well, looks good and is easy to use.

Works as advertised

Reviewed by Tom the Toolman (Practical) from Richboro, PA on Jul 17, 2006

Works with my base station, as advertised; low price, seems to be of good quality. Controls could be a little more intuitive for me. Good reception when in range, but range seems to be very limited (< 100 feet), so I need to move the base station closer to the center of the house.
