Summary: Flimsy and it died quickly
Review: I got this phone directly from Uniden and it died after 5 months use. Like the previous post, nothing in the troubleshooting section worked, and it was out of warranty (90 days), so in the garbage can it went. Also, the casing on this phone is pretty cheap... it looked to be in worse condition than my 7 year old Sanyo phone.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I want more information
Review: I like the features that are described.
I would like opinions on the sound quality of the answering machine outgoing and incoming messages.
I would like to know that is does not lose messages in power outages.
I would like to know it's resistance to electrical surges.
I would like to know if it's wall mount fits a standard old wall mount plate or is a new custom mount.

Thanks.

Summary: It died in less than 6 months.
Review: It was a fine phone, while it lasted. After about 6 months, it worked only sporadically, then died altogether. I followed all the suggestions in the troubleshooting section of the manual, but nothing worked. I won't be buying another Uniden.

Summary: The programmable rings make the phone
Review: It's a trip. You don't need to look at the caller ID. All you have to do is take a few minutes to program the memory dials and the ringers that go with it and your off and running. Now I know when twinkle twinkle little star is playing it's my mom.

ON the serious side. The features are nice/functional and it is a great product for the price you pay.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Do something with caller ID information
Review: There are very few phones that actually do something with the caller id information, other than just display it. This phone allows up to 30 names and numbers to the memory list. Each can have their own ring tone. Now when a call comes in with the standard tone - I know it isn't someone on my special list - I may not make the extra effort needed to get to the phone. The sound quality is good on both ends and over the speaker phone. The interface/set up is very easy.

On the minus side: when a call comes in and if the number is matched to someone in the phone memory list, the selected ring tone will sound - but the name displayed is from the Caller ID info - not the name programmed into memory. 50% of the calls I get are from numbers behind PBX exchanges (or equivelent) where the caller id name information is generic ("California Call", "Wireless Call", etc.).

I'd recommend this phone to my friends - but this isn't the "end all" phone for me ... I'll keep looking at new phones with more caller ID features.
