The Uniden phone is awesome for a large family. The phone comes with 4 phones in total and the extra 3 just plug in to work. You can page your kids from any room in the house, which I find really great. I have been using this brand of phone for 10 years and they have never let me down yet. I love the head phones that come with it and I love the belt clip, it makes for great no hands talking. I have even used the belt clip and head phones while exercising, to talk. You can also check and manage your messages from any of the 4 phones. Which I find very handy.
