Summary: Good for its price, but wont last....
Review: bought this phone seeing the consumer reports best value.
it was pretty good for a year, now the sound quality is terrible and very staticy. so be prepared to replace it after a year, which isnt that terrible considering the price.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very Happy with it. Two years and still works great
Review: Contrary to what a lot of other reviewers have mentioned, my phone has worked very well for the past 20 months. We used it on the average about 2 hours everyday and placed it back on the charging base almost every night. I have changed the battery once about 19 months after buying the phone. For the $19.99 price this is the best value for money I have ever seen in a cordless phone.

Summary: Inferior Quality
Review: I am very disappointed in the quality of this model. I purchased two, and I'm returning both. Coverage is poor, and CID does not work in all outlets in my house. Very strange. Uniden customer service pretty much confirmed that this model isn't very good. I'm much more satisfied with my Panasonic. I'm going to order a couple more of them to replace the Unidens.

Summary: Great Phone Indeed
Review: I used this one before I upgraded to a 2.4ghz Xact cordless phone. This one was great. You could go a long way away from where the charger was and still pick up a dial tone. I used to go over to my friend's house...he lived next door..and in case someone called me,I took this with me and I still got to chat with them without being at home.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Inferior Quality
Review: Junk, junk, junk. What else can I say. Good phone if you never make or receive calls. It is Ivory, though. The phone starts to have feedback...you know, it SCREAMS in your ear when you are using it.
My cellular is better by far. I have a sony and it is good.

Summary: Excellent Choice for an Economical Cordless Phone
Review: Note: October 2002 Consumers Reports rates the Uniden EXI376 HS (head set) as a CR Best Buy! It is their top model without an answerer.

This EXI376 is my second Uniden cordless telephone. The other is a TRU346, a fine 2.4 GHz instrument, selling for about $50. I bought this one, the EXI376, as an economical replacement for a cord-type bedroom phone that failed to operate after over ten years of use. I am happy with my choice.

Amazon's product listing here is very sketchy. It tells next to nothing about this device. It is a modest 900 MHz cordless phone with a ten-number AND NAME dialing memory, one-number redial and one-number RocketDial, for twelve stored-numbers total. It has a thirty-number caller ID, and can place a call from this list. Like many, most or all Unidens it displays the number to be called on a viewing screen for the caller to review for accuracy before placing the call. No more wrong numbers.

I have had some bad luck in the past with cordless telephones. One never did operate; one lasted only two months; a current one of another brand is in use in our guest room, but is inferior in all respects to the EXI376. The last cordless would work for only ten minutes before its battery went dead. The TRU346 revealed to me Uniden quality, and I would now buy no other brand.

Reception is clear and audible. It tends to be too loud, but the instrument has a volume control. It is slightly noisy to listen to, noisier than the TRU346, but is acceptable. People I have called say my voice sounds fine to them, as good as on any telephone. Our microwave oven does not create noise on either end of the call, but the computer does. The TRU346 was not usable with the microwave running, because the base unit is installed on top of the microwave (my bad). Battery life of the EXI376 appears satisfactory, at present. I used it for one long call, and experienced no dead-battery difficulties.

Range is modest, no better or worse than others we have had, except for a DSS 900MHz that failed for other reasons. That one would work at a distance of about a city block. This EXI376 works with the handset anywhere on our small residential lot, but fails to communicate when I carry it two houses down the street.

In summary, the EXI376 is an excellent choice for those who want an economical cordless 900MHz telephone. There are better phones available if you want to pay more money, but if you do not want to spend between fifty and two-hundred dollars, consider the EXI376. I give it a five-star rating for price and quality, but reduce the rating to only four-stars because of the slightly scratchy reception. That may be unfair to Uniden and Amazon, because I would buy another EXI376 without hesitation if I needed another.

Summary: decent phone for the given price
Review: Pro:
Light, compact, backlighted LCD (auto shut off after a few seconds), ringer off option (even though the manual doesn't say so), good ergonomic (ear piece area slightly contours out to fit ear/face), callerID+callWaitingID, volume+ringer control, memory store with name, cheap

Con:
sound quality is OK (not as good as my old Panasonic900mhz), no lighted keypad (Amazon description is wrong), buttons are hard plastic (I like them w/rubber), any button pressed will turn on phone (could be a plus for Rocket Dial). only 10 memory dials, annoying ring tone(s), short battery
life.

Well, all in all, an OK phone for the price. I don't have
the problem with poor contact with the base while charging.
I only had it for a few weeks. Reception is OK, even when the base is at 2nd floor, and I am
trying it down in the basement, the sound quality is the same.

Summary: Great phone
Review: This is a great cordless phone. I was suprised at how clear it sounded.

I love the caller ID function. When someone calls you you can go back and see what day they called and what time they called.

This phone is very easy to program. You can store up to 10 numbers in the memory function. You can also store peoples names in the memory function so if you hit memory, a list of peoples names will come up and all you have to do is hit talk.

Overall its a great phone, simple to use, and sounds very clear.
