Summary: great phone, great price
Review: Excellent sound quality--clear as a bell. The range is impressive--it works perfectly indoors, and pretty well outside too (thru brick walls). And the photo doesn't do it justice--it's attractive and has a very small footprint. Both the base unit and the phone sit in a sort of upright position, so it takes up very little space on the counter. The color, pearl white, is actually a nice soft white. I've had many cordless phones; in fact, this one is replacing an older uniden phone--it's cheaper to buy the new one than to replace the battery on the old one.

Summary: INEXPENSIVE but Very Good
Review: I bought one for my cubicle at work and rather than spend big bucks on a fancy model and risk someone stealing it, I opted to go with the least expensive 2.4 GHz Uniden I could find.I went with Uniden because I bought another model, the EXAI3248, from Amazon and you can tell I liked it from my review of that model. It still has the same 1.5 - 2 second delay before you hear a dial tone (press TALK and there's about 2 seconds before you hear the dialtone) however the quality and resistance to interference is still there!!! I can talk next to an active microwave and other sources of interference w/o any problems. I HIGHLY recommend this for people who do not need Caller ID or an answering machine but demand performance and affordability in a sleek package. I suppose applications would include college dorms that utilize voice mail systems, office cubicles that also utilize voice mail systems, and maybe a secondary phone in a large house. Not every phone on that 1 line needs Caller ID and an answering machine so this would be a good and cheap solution perhaps for a young adult who doesn't take care of his or her things.

Summary: great phone, excellent value
Review: I do not have (or want) call waiting, caller ID or any of the other features that are offered and endlessly hyped by the telephone companies today. I simply need a decent cordless phone with good reception. This phone fits that bill perfectly. I have had terrible luck (lots of static, poor reception, failure to hold a charge) with cheap cordless phones in the past, and I went to Circuit City determined to get something better even if I had to pay more. The salesperson recommended Uniden as one of the better brands, and said I should definitely get a 2.4 GHz model for the best power. The cheapest Uniden cordless model the store had was a "bells and whistles" caller ID unit for $50. I bought it anyway thinking it was my only choice if I wanted a Uniden. I then went home and found this model on Amazon for $19. I ordered this one and returned the still-unopened fancier phone to the store. Two months later the phone is performing great and I have no complaints. Reception is excellent. Also, the phone is big enough to rest on your shoulder if you like to talk while puttering around the house; some of the cordless models are as small as cell phones and almost too hard to hold during household phone use. If, like me, you do not care about any of the extra features such as caller ID, then this is an excellent phone for a fantastic price.

Summary: One of the best cordless I've used at home.
Review: I initially purchased this to use at home as my AT&T 900MHz was on it's way to the circular file.
It's initial cost is what brought me in but I have found that this is an excellent telephone. Voice Clarity is really great, it goes for days without being charged, and has yet to let me down. It easily works up to 200 feet from the base station(that's about as far as I have ever tried it). I work in the telecommunications field and we have used several different cordless telephone solutions through the years. Mostly Panasonics, some AT&T, and a group of worthless Transonic(sold under CORTELCO) model 730901-TP2-27F. They are junk. This uniden costs less and works great.

Summary: Horrible reception!
Review: I live in a very small apartment, so I am never far from the base to this phone and yet the reception constantly goes in & out if I so much as turn my head to the side. Not to mention, I often times have trouble hearing the person on the other end & have to raise the volume all the way up. My mother tried it & agreed, she said it was like talking into a tin can. I am very disappointed!

Summary: Great phone, great value!
Review: I ordered this as a second cordless. We already had a Uniden and it's great so I thought I'd check this one out, especially with such a great price for a 2.4. I've had Sony, Panasonic and any other expensive brands you could name and in my experience, phones are one thing you DON'T get what you pay for. My cheaper name phones (i.e. Uniden) have always proven to be perfectly usable with great features where some of the others have been troublesome. Anyway, this is stylish and has lots of bang for the buck.
PLEASE NOTE: We thought we were charging the phone for the initial 20 hour period only to find we didn't have the battery plugged in all the way. Apparently, you have to be sure you hear a CLICK to know it's engaged.

Summary: Pretty good, so far
Review: I've had this phone for less than a week. Bought it after caving in - my old 25-channel phone just didn't cut it any more, or at least in this new apartment - usually had terrible loud buzzing constantly, and often wouldn't hang up unless I unhooked the jack from the wall!! Also, battery life had become seriously sucky. So far, this new phone has been far better. No problem with the battery, as yet; reception has been great (often TOO loud, have to turn the volume down!). However, several times (while sitting at my computer, don't know if related) I've gotten strange, loud beeping noises which went away after switching the channel, and just today I heard someone else's voice which alternated with the beeps as I switched channels, then finally all the extraneous noises stopped. I have no idea what is going with these noises, etc., but still, overall performance is far superior to my old phone. And the price is quite right. As noted, it's a basic phone, but as I've got a separate little caller ID unit I don't need that in my phone. We'll see how things work out long-term, but overall I'm quite satisfied with this purchase. One additional issue: when trying to cradle the phone using your shoulder, one must be careful, because the END button is situated right where you naturally want to put your cheek to support the phone - I've accidentally hung up a few times.

Summary: Not Great
Review: This phone picks up microwave frequencies. I thought 2.4 GHZ were not suppose to do this. Also, I will charge the battery overnight, and then when I'm on a call, I get that darn beeping sound alerting me my battery is about to die. This is a brand new battery. It shouldn't do this. I finally bought another phone which I love! I got the Panasonic kx-tga23ow and so far it is the best cordless I have ever owened. I will never go back to cheap phones.

Summary: No headset jack on this phone
Review: [they] suggest you buy, as an accessory for this phone, an AT&T headset that works with any phone with a 2.5 mm jack. Both the headset and the phone are great, but they don't work together: the phone has no jacks whatsoever. Don't buy this phone expecting you can use it with a headset.
