JovialCougar says "Why is telephone technology going backward?" about Uniden - DXA15688 Series

I've had a variety of cordless telephones over the last ten years or so, and each one seems worse than the last. Do we have to go back to the rotary dials with those curly-q phone cords that always get tangled up?

Most recently I bought the Uniden Cordless Phone DXA15688, which cost about $79. It seemed like a good deal and had a lot of good features. But overall I'm not satisfied.

This cordless phone operates at 5.8 Ghz and has a built-in answering machine (digital). The phone display lights up to show the number you are dialing and will also do so if you have caller ID. The phone rests in the battery charger and there is a nice big display with the number of messages. It also looks decent and does not take up a lot of room on the counter - so far so good.

Programming the answering machine was about average. I always need to consult the owner's manual when I want to alter the outgoing message though, since all the modes and the order that you have to press the butons in...

jewel312b says "Uniden multi handset cordless phone was a disappointment" about Uniden - DXA15688 Series

The Uniden multi-handset cordless telephone was a big disappointment. It was recently rated in Consumer Reports as the best phone out there. But my experience was the exact opposite. We purchased two sets in order to be sure there is always a phone within reach. Each set comes with two phones, one answering machine base, and one base that simply acts as a charger. The phone has many features such as 5.8GHz extended range, call transfer between handsets, digital tapeless recording for the answering machine, and conversation recording. The problem I had with this phone is the reception. In the owners manual for the phone, it does state that you should avoid: microwaves, moisture, dust, low temps, mechanical vibration, shock, windows with street traffic, televisions, electronic equipment, and fluorescent lighting. I had searched and searched for a place in my home that fit such a requirement. Finally, I found two and hooked the phones up. But the reception is HORRIBLE once you walk...

Replaced a 2.4 gh Uniden with this phone hoping for better quality and was sadly disappointed. Love the extra handset but all I have to do is walk outside the back door and noone can hear me. Tons of static. Ok inside house but I want it for gardening, etc outside too. Would not reccommend if you want same....
