My husband and I get our messages,and our kids get theirs. No accidental erasures. Lots of memory, and it came with three handsets. Very handy. The only drawback is the ring volume.Even when turned up on high(level 4), it can be a little hard to hear if you're not in a room with one of the phones.Another great idea is the "Do Not Disturb" feature. When the button is pressed, a light shines on, and any calls received after pressing it are automatically diverted to the answering machine-quietly. You do not hear any phone ring, or them leaving a message.Great for sleeping or quiet time.An excellent product at an affordable...

I finally just sold them in a garage sale. — I had many problems with this phone model. It came with two phones, one that plugged directly into my broadband modem and the other that didn't require direct access to the phone line. I received very poor reception on both phones, having to sit completely still while on them or I couldn't tell what the other person was saying through the static. I had trouble with the transfer button that let's you transfer a call from one handset to the other. Usually it just hung up on the caller. There were issues with the volume levels as well. One caller would be super quiet while the next would be too loud to stand. — I am unaware if there was a defect in the phones that I purchased or not but I couldn't stand the issues I put up with daily from them. That's why I sold them. I purchased a Bell phone from Walmart about a week ago and am much happier with it. —...

It works wonderfully and is so easy to use. I can walk outside and it doesn't quit. I can even drive halfway down my street before I lose the base signal. I just can't say enough about this wonderful product. I even like the blue light that it lights up when you are getting a call. Saving numbers, using redial, and basically all the features are easy to use without ever having to read the...

I couldnt believe I was seeing friend from Canada through this phone. —  I even hooked up the A/V jack to my plasma and we were literally talking to our TV's. —  Just make sure you have at least 3.0Mpbs of speed or your video will be choppy.  And if you're lighting is dark.. you'll be dark to the other party.  —  I even took this phone to a hotel in Italy, hooked up my phone to the internet and I was able to make a call back to the US.  Keep in mind there is no extra charge to do this.   — Simply amazing.. —...

The screen tilts and swivels for greater flexibility and folds down flat, making it easy to take with you when traveling. — Use the AV in/out jacks in the rear of the video phone to project the picture to a larger screen or monitor, and send the sound to external speakers to share your video conversation with a larger group. —...

This Uniden works, can go long ranges and never loses frequency! This model came with 1 corded base unit phone, so if the power goes out you still have a dial tone--a plus. Also came with 1 cordless unit, which requires no phone jack, just an electrical outlet--easier. The cordless units are expandable, up to 5 or so phones, sold seperately. I bought a 2nd unit for a good price. And I got this cheaper online than what I would've paid in the store. Good deal all around! — ...

This is a cheap unit, for short term use. I had a base unit and 4 satellite handsets. Every single one of the handsets developed contact buttons that stopped working within 6 months of purchase. The warrenty replacement units did the same thing. I would never suggest anyone buy this product. The frustration of having the "5" button or the "answer/send" button not work consistantly is very stressful, and in the case of an emergency,...

Simple, buy some more. — Background — A few years ago I went out and purchased a VTEC 5.8Ghz Digital phone sysem.  At the time I think it came fully expanded to 5 handsets including the base station.  I figured there were only 3 of us.  Five phones should handle us nicely.  And, we're not talking about South Fork here.  We're talking about a 2 story moderately large South Florida home. — But increasingly, especially as our youngest daughter has grown (all of 11 now), whenever the phone rings and I instinctively go to one of the base stations theres no phone there to greet me.  Yes, you can hear them chiming throughout the house, but find one?  Afraid not.  And before long I can hear the call go to the answering machine. — Uniden - TRU9465-2...

After some research , it seemed a unit with bluetooth to link the cell phones to was the new thing. There are only a few on the market and this one seemed to satisfy all me needs plus some. I could have sworn it said on the box you could share phonebooks between handsets and the base. Sadly this is not the case. You have to enter all your numbers on every handset, YUK. The multi cell phone bluetooth link feature works pretty well. It even works from a greater distance than the manual says it's supposed to. The sound is clear and stable, the units are light and comfortable. There's lots of cell phone like options for caller id such as individual ring tones and pictures, but no way to add new pics ( unless I missed it in the manual). I would however trade those features for the ability to dial someone using the phone book in a linked cell phone. My Garmin does it, you'd think...

I have it just as long. Recently, Samsung released the updated version of the OS 6.0 for the black Jack phones. I am loving new features of the MS Office which let me work with the templates on the run. Other features are easy to use as well. For example the texting and emailing are extremely easy to use. Internet is a at finger tips and always available. Another most important feature is the battery life which lasts three days after prolonged use and abuse. I love this phone. Compared to the LG c2000 I have Black Jack is a mobile office computer. — PS. Did I mention to say I can play music on my phone storing it on 2GB disk? — Good luck. —...

THat comes in handy. but the bad parts about these phones are that the battery dies quickly, doesn't have good reception,  picks up other sounds while you are talking on it. —  I wouldn't reccomend this phone. I used to have a black one, and I liked that one better. I always trust Uniden for my cordless phones, but I wouldn't reccomend this model. ...

I mean, this one is great at first, but when the down button stops working, it sucks. As far as I know, you can have four handets. They all have speaker capabilities, which is awesome for our use. But there is no caller ID or numbers on the base. So you can answer on the base, but not make calls. The answering machine is very intuitive and easy to use. We have yet to figure out how to use the speed dial. We've had this phone for less than a year and have already had to replace one of the handsets for the down button not working, and it cost us $10 to replace it under the warranty. Now all of them are broken, which makes clearly hearing what is being said ridiculously difficult. It's all distorted because I can't turn the volume down!!! I find myself holding the phone away from my ear, and I still have difficulty discerning certain words. Not fun. On the plus side, the belt clip is extremely durable. To sum it all up, the phone is pretty, but generally useless...
