Summary: Works great for me.
Review: So far this is the best phone I have ever owned. I got this same phone in the two headset version. <br />There are several things I like about this phone:<br />- Ring tone is pleasant and can be made quiet or off entirely.<br />- answering machine voice is easy to understand and not very machine sounding<br />- you can dial the number and hit talk like on cell phones<br />- The audio thus far has been crystal clear, i haven't heard a single snap or pop yet.<br />- programming is very straight forward and simple, didn't have to read the manual to figure out most of the setup<br />- batteries work well as so far I haven't had either phone go dead yet. But its brand new so the batteries should do well right now.<br /><br />Overall the phone is great. Others who have issues likely got a phone with problems. If you get one without issue, you will not be upset with your purchase.<br />

Summary: This phone is horrible
Review: This is the worst phone I have ever owned. When my 900Mhz phone stopped working, I decided to go with the 5.8GHz for the range. I can not even go into the garage without it sounding like I am in a wind tunnel (I do not have a huge home). I am constantly telling people to hold on while I try and get closer to the base, and sometimes that does not even help with the static. In addition, the TALK button is unusually large and I tend to hang up on people if I try and put the phone on my shoulder. Callers also complain that the volume on the answering machine is very low and they can not hear the message. I have re-recorded several times. When I contacted Uniden to express my dissappointment with the phone, they gave me a variety of very time consuming, costly options, which would result in maybe getting the same phone fixed. I just purchased this phone two months ago. DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE.

Review: This phone is the worst I've ever seen. Bought it for more range. With my old phone I could go outside and get about 400 feet away and it would still work. This phone I couldn't even go in the other room without getting static or getting disconnect from the person I was talking to. It's just a very bad phone.

Review: Though originally pleased with this phone, I've grown to strongly dislike it. Let me first start with the good news:GOOD STUFF ABOUT THIS PHONE:
- Easy to set up, including answering machine
- Feels comfortable in my hand, against my head
- Keys are easy to press BAD STUFF ABOUT THIS PHONE:
- The range is ABYSMAL! Even going from my bedroom to my living room in my small apartment with the phone results in tons of static.
- When using a headset, the tones produced when dialing or using menus are so ridiculously loud, I think I've already damaged my hearing. What was Uniden thinking?! For those who still wish to get this phone... get a headset with a mute button!!! SO WHO SHOULD BUY THIS PHONE?
- Folks on a very tight budget.
- People with a one-room apartment.
- Bedridden folks who never wander more than a few feet from the phone base.

Review: We liked the looks and the price, but the reception was never clear, even after hitting the channel/scan button 20 times. It was VERY frustrating, the loud static and constantly asking people to repeat themselves. Every day we said," WE HATE THIS PHONE!" My husband works as a phone technician, so it isn't our line. I will certainly allow that we could've bought a lemon, we returned the phone for a full refund, so no harm done. My parents have the Motorola MD681 (they're very happy with it) and we just ordered that from Amazon for a good price with a $30 rebate through 12/31/04. If you only want to spend $60 on a 5.8 GHz phone, it's a risk, but you might get lucky like a previous reviewer. Good luck!!

Summary: No Problems
Review: Well I bought this before the last two negative reviews were placed, but I'm glad I did! It was a bit complicated to get the headset to work, but after reading the instruction book it works perfectly now.
I live in an apartment and don't have any static and can use it anywhere which I'm so happy about compared to my last phone!!! The answering machine has no problems. It has a pre-recorded greeting and everyone was able to leave messages immediately which plays clearly and loudly.
The headset is very light and not big enough to hold on your shoulder. Sometimes I forget to turn it off since only the Talk button is so prominant and big in the center. Messages can be replayed until you delete them with the easy hit of a button.
The phone has a zillion neat features that I haven't gotten around to using yet. Including being able to call your home number from outside the house, and typing in your security code when the answering maching comes on and it plays your messages for you! I'm still using my caller id box because I just like that better.

Summary: Bad Phone
Review: When I first bought this phone I was excited about it. It worked great except for the static when I walked outside. Two months later, the caller id and answering machine stopped working. The phone didn't even ring when I got a call. I called the customer service and they said I could send the phone back but would have to wait 3 weeks to get it back. If your looking for a resonable priced 5.8ghz phone with answeing machine, your looking in the wrong place. NOT A GOOD PHONE!
