Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)In my opinion, this system is designed to function very awkwardly:
1) The memory seems to reside in each individual handset rather than in the base unit. As a result, when you clear the Caller ID #'s showing on one handset, the old calls remain on the other handset. So you have to clear each handset's memory separately.
2) This lack of communication between the base unit and the handsets also means that the telephone book on one handset does not share information with another handset unless you invoke a separate global function to add the new number to the other handset.
3) The manual states that "Your phone shares memory between your Phonebook and Caller ID entries" but that is misleading. If a call comes in from someone in you phone book, for instance, someone you have in the phone book as "GALE WORK", caller ID displays the phone company's ID (company name or even "Caller Unknown") instead of the label in your phone directory. Another example, "GALE CELL" from your phone book would show "VIRGINIA CALL" or (I assume) that people in your phone book with unlisted numbers would not be identified either.
4) This phone is not capable of monitoring a dial tone either. There are two results of this lack. One result is that, if you are on line, the handset does not display a "Line in Use" warning. The other result is that the phone is incapable of indicating when there is a message in a phone company mail box. I rely on the mail box to pick up messages while I am on line.
5) If you need to mount this phone on a wall, take a look at the pictures I have posted to determine whether the appearance is acceptable to you. And the answering machine faces upward, making it hard for short people like me to see the buttons on the answering machine.
6) Be prepared for a long wait if you want to talk to a Uniden service rep.
The only redeeming feature of this phone is the good voice quality. Feedback on this website regarding voice quality is what sold me on this brand, but the annoying beeping on my old Olympia is starting to seem preferable to the shortcomings in the design of this Uniden.
