Summary: wonderful product
Review: A bit pricy, but worth every penny.PROS:
- Great quality speaker system on the handset (major plus).
- Built -in answering machine with ALL the features one should have, including remote access.
- Handset holds charge for a very good amount of time.
- Easy to use menus. Easy to adjust volume on handset and base. CONS:
- Price.
- Handset is a bit heavier than I'm used to.
- 2.4 GHz (if true) doesn't reach as far as you would think! I used to own a 900 MHz panasonic and the range of that phone was better. Bottom line: Go for it.

Summary: Great Styling and Overall Value
Review: As the other reviews state, you'd be hard-pressed to find serious flaws with this phone. But here are my nitpicky ones: - LCD could have better backlit display - The phone doesn't nestle itself to your face very well. Often times it is difficult to target the earpiece to your ear - Although the handset is sleek and solidly built, it is a bit heavy and can wear down your arm after a while

Summary: Amazing Phone
Review: I am very picky about my phones, and after much research and experience with this phone, I think it is safe to say that it is a terrific phone. I bought several phones that would suit my multi-handset needs, including a different Uniden model, and returned them shortly after because either the features were lacking, or because the sound quality was poor. However with the DCT 5280, the sound quality is great, as is the range. In addition to this, the features of the phone are outstanding, including distinctive rings, speaker phone built into both the base and handset, and the ability to use the handsets as intercoms or walky-talky style units away from the base (like at the mall) and standard AA size rechargeable batteries, allowing for great flexibility to my needs. This said, it is important to note that the sheer amount of features does make the phone complicated to begin with, so if you are somewhat techno-phobic, perhaps this phone isn't right for you, but otherwise I highly recommend this phone (along with the additional handsets) to anyone who is in the market for a great cordless phone.

Summary: Not Reliable- Avoid
Review: I bought this phone, plus an additional handset and was very pleased at first. The features of this phone are great, and work quite well. The problem began after about a month. The microphone started to malfunction. What I mean by that is every fifth call(or so), the person receiving your call can't hear you. You can hear them, but they can't hear you. The voice cuts out. This isn't always the case, because unpredictably the phone will work again with it's next call, and show no problems at all. I'd would normally say that I got a lemon, but this also happens with the additional handset that I purchased. I wouldn't recommend this Uniden product.

Summary: Great value for a superior product
Review: I have had many cordless phones with varying results. With that experience I can tell you that this Uniden product exceeds any other I have owned. Physically, the phone is very sleek in design and comfort of use. The base unit, with a very nice digital answering system is simple to program using the voice confirmations the system provides. The handset menu functions and soft-keys operate nicely and are also very easily programmed. There is a very nice selection of options for personalizing the phone to your needs. The battery life has been excellent, including a battery strength indicator on the display. In addition, we also added a second handset to this expandable system by merely placing the expansion handset into the base cradle. The only drawback is a minor one in which you must program the second handset manually, not a major task. The expansion handset also provides very nice intercom options, walkie-talkie like features, and is a nice value at $... The system we replaced with the Uniden was much more expensive with fewer options and poor performance.
We use a wireless network for internet connections, and the phone system works perfectly without interference or signal loss.
We are very pleased with this system and would highly recommend it. Simply put, the very best telephone we've owned.

Summary: Great Phone at a Great Price
Review: I have had my Uniden phone now for just under a month. I bought it to replace an IBM phone that started having problems within a few months of purchase. The Uniden phone has been great. Receiption is clear as a bell and it has a ton of features that I love, including volume controls on both the handset and the base. It also features 16 different ringer options, and the ability to assign ringers to certain callers (so you'll always know if it's someone you actually want to talk to or not). The digital answering system works wonderfully as well, and is very easy to operate. That feature alone saves me [money] on voice mail from my phone company! I highly recommend this phone to anyone wanting a high quality 2.4 Ghz DSS system.

I haven't had any problems with the battery yet. I've dropped the receiver from high up at least five times, but this phone just takes a licking and keeps on working great! The only minor complaint I have is that you have to be careful putting the handset back into the base if you have it mounted on a wall...otherwise it tips forward and falls. Still a phone I'd recommend to anyone.

Summary: Nice phone, looks good too
Review: I have had this phone for the past few months and i like it. The main Pros and cons are:
PRO: Love the speaker phone on the handset, its a very useful feature.
CON: Hate the redial feature. Couldnt Uniden have put a redial button, rather than force the use of the menu.

Review: My old cordless was a 900Mhz Analog, which worked fine, but my answering device puttered out, so I decided to go all new. I picked up this phone and am very satisfied with it. It sounds good, has good range, and comes with an impressive set of features. Plus, it's reasonably priced.
