Summary: Highly Recommended!!!
Review: I bought this along with two extra handsets while visiting my parents. My parents had two 900 mhz phones and one answering machine that picked up after four rings. By the time my mom got around to answering the phone she had to shut the annoying answering machine off. I upgraded their answering machine and phones and with this 2.4 ghz system along with two extra handsets. Now they've got a phone in each bedroom as well as one in the kitchen. I managed to set everything up the morning I left (after the minimum required initial 15 hour charge time). The answering machine picks up after 6 rings and each handset has been programmed to answer after picking it up from the charger (stopping the answering machine). I really like the speaker phone feature in each of the handsets too. The handsets are quite small but are all fully functional with caller ID. BTW you only need one phone line and four electrical outlets for each handset and answering machine.

Summary: Great little system!
Review: Just got this system with two handsets and am wonderfully pleased. It's got great little features like remote retrieval of phone messages from the handsets. No problems with sound quality at all. Highly recommend.

Summary: Great set for Under $100.00
Review: This is the first review I have written on Amazon.com, but felt compelled to write one for this great set of phones from Uniden. I have only had them approx. 1 week, but the sound and feature set is great. I had one small issue with static and the echo mentioned in other reviews, but after moving the base station to a more open area (instead of inside an entertainment center), this cleared up. The sound/reception is great, now.
Pros:
1. Phonebook copy. Contacts stored in phone can be copied to all handsets. Many other phones will not do this.
2. Speaker phone on each handset.
3. Digital answering machine is very user friendly. You can check messages from any handset, which is very handy.
4. 20 ring tones to choose from, and distinctive ring tones can be assigned to your contacts so you know who is calling just by hearing the ring.
5. Color (silver casing with orange backlighting) is very cool, and highly visible in low-light situations.
Cons:
1. When on a call, if you switch to another handset due to battery/location/etc., you have to transfer the call to that handset. You cannot just pick up another handset and push "Talk". This disconnects the call you are on. This is explained in detail in the manual, and is fairly simple to do, but annoying if your phone battery is about to give out.
2. Numbers stored in contacts do not appear that way on caller id, as with many cell phones. Not a very big drawback, but would be nice to see "MOM CELL" pop up instead of "Birmigham, AL 205-###-###". I store phone numbers for a reason, so I don't have to remember them.
Conclusion:
This is one of the best sets around for under $100.00. In most cases, you can find them in a 3 phone set for around $90.00. The feature set is excellent, the phones look great, and battery life seems to be very good. The use of NI-MH batteries is nice, as the NI-CD batteries seem to develop a memory and not hold a charge much quicker than the NI-MH or lithium batteries. I would definitely recommend this set to anyone.

Summary: A SOLID HOME RUN !!
Review: This phone makes the sometimes frustrating search for a good cordless phone easy. Look no further!I can't find anything wrong with this phone. Uniden really seems to have thought of everything here. Not too much. Not too little. Just right! A soon-to-be classic cordless. Well done, Uniden.

Summary: Sound issues detract from an otherwise great phone!
Review: Uniden DCT648-3HS Pros * Bright easily read display
* Phone is small and fits in hand nicely
* Message notification light on handset and blinking led on base
* Messages can be accessed on any handset as well as base
* Handsets can be named (example: bedroom, living room, etc.)
* Speakerphone in handset and base
* When using the speakerphone on handset and base the other caller couldn't tell that I was using a speakerphone
* Very good volume on handset, and equally as good using the speakerphones on both handset and base
* Speed dial numbers can be assigned to numbers 1 thru 0 on the keypad
* Battery condition icon
* DirectLink Mode (a pair of handsets can work like walkie talkies away from the base unit)
* Room Monitor (one phone can call another and the second phone will turn on the speakerphone allowing you to listen in that room)
* Different ringers can be assigned to a phone number in the directory, so when that particular person calls that melody or ringer will sound. Cons * I was frequently getting a tinny sound coming from the handset. Also was hearing my voice in earpiece on the handset which is quite annoying.
* In the speakerphone mode on the handset the sound is constantly getting low then comes back.
* Only a 2 digit pin code for accessing messages (I wish phone manufacturers was use at a minimum, 3 digits. It wouldn't take much for somebody to guess a two digit number) Conclusion Uniden seems to have done their homework when designing their new 2.4GHz phones, but the issues with the handset and speakerphone detract from an otherwise excellent phone in my opinion. Other Uniden phones that I've tested in the past have never had the issue with the tinny sound. I'm not sure if this tinny sound and the problems with the fading sound from the handset speaker phone are some how related. I originally thought that extra noise in my home office were causing the handset speakerphone fading, but when I went into another room that was quiet it still faded. I then thought that maybe the handset I was using was bad but I checked the other two the system came with and they also faded when using the speakerphone. Whether or not you can live with these shortcomings is up to the individual, but obviously sound is the most important aspect of a phone. If a phone cannot deliver good sound then all of the other extra's it comes with are pretty much useless. So, can I live with the sound problems! I just don't know at this point. They are great phones..................but!!!!!

Summary: Lovin' it!
Review: What an upgrade this was from my old Panasonic 900mhz phone.
The phone is great. What stands out from this phone.
The good
-Bright screen and easily readable text.
-Clarity of sound, no static.
-Easy to setup, took about 5 minutes.
-Small, stylish, fits in your hand nicely.
-Answering machine is easy to function, the messages are loud and clear.
Not bad of a deal for under $100 for a two headset phone. My first Uniden and I very much like this one over the Panasonic phones I've used for years. Highly recommended.
