Customer Review: Good machine, not so great instructions
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my 86 year old mother. It took us 4 hours to program the answering machine and show her the various functions, mostly because the instructions and the names given to the various buttons are not intuitively obvious. I am a Macintosh user and accustomed to user-friendly machines, I suppose, but her last answering machine was much easier to set up. HOWEVER, we love this machine now that it is up and running; the voice quality is great, and the extra keypad on the answering machine means that she can actually follow an electronic menu without frustration. She is even using her new cell phone to call her home message machine from remote locations to keep up with her calls. I would suggest that people read the instruction manual from the very beginning (ie, the glossary of terms!) before trying to set it up.Customer Review: Terrible quality phone
Summary: 1 Stars
I've had this phone for just over a year and today when I came home I found that it had died once and for all. The base showing is an "E4" error message. I've tried several things hoping to somehow reset it, but with no success.
Even before the phone died I had all kinds of problems with it. It would cut out during calls, even when close to the base. The handsets would lock up for no apparent reason and I had to take out the battery to get them to reset. The answering machine would cut people off mid message.
This is by far the worst phone I have ever owned. I suppose I may just have got a particularly bad one, but I will never buy another Uniden product again. There are plenty of reliable phones available out there, and now I'm off to find one to replace my dead Uniden.
Customer Review: Uniden TRU9465
Summary: 5 Stars
I LOVE THIS PHONE! It's the best phone I've ever owned. I have the base unit, it's one hand set, and two other hand sets. The sound quality is excellent, even when speaking with three other people (two on each end of the phone line). That had been my biggest complaint about all of my previous phones: When more than two phones are being used, the volumn from the other end would drop while the volumn from the extension at my end was ear-splitting. That dosen't happen with these phones.
Range is fine. I have one hand set out on a back patio, which is about 25-30 feet and on the opposite side of glass sliding doors from the base unit and have had no problems with dropped calls or the phone being out of range.
The speaker phone feature of the hand sets is also very good.
Customer Review: This phone works
Summary: 5 Stars
I had a 2.4gHz Motorola that received a great deal of interference from our wireless network. I purchased this phone after Consumer Reports rated it the best and have been very pleased. Do I use all the features on the phone? No. I pick up the phone, dial a number, hear someone on the other end. It works with no interference from the wireless network. I also have never had a multiple handset phone. Our house is quite small so I was skeptical. I have to say that I like it a lot and it has been very convenient. Watch out for some other phones with multiple handsets, though. A friend just bought another popular model and both handsets cannot be used at the same time. This phone's handsets can be used at the same time, say if two people want to talk at the same time to grandma.Customer Review: Nice phone system
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had this system for about a month. I like it a lot. Clear sound, nice look, and lots of good features. Speaker phone on base is great, on handset, pretty good. Intercom is nice, although it is a bit weird that the phone you start the intercom from, rings until the other end picks up. I also like that the phone book can be transferred from base to phones and vice versa. That is handy, plus custom rings.
The only negatives are that the Caller ID requires deletion from each piece, base, and each handset. If I let it go on the phone that gets less use, the phone will build up 20 plus caller IDs! I would like to see deleting on one piece, deleting on the others. Also, the battery life is a bit suspect. It looks like the handsets are getting about 2-2.5 days of life.
