Description:

The Uniden EXS9995 two-line cordless phone provides answering system organization for your busy family or home office. It combines everything you need, including a digital answering machine and compatibility with caller ID with call waiting services, into one easy-to-operate unit.

Before testing the Uniden EXS9995, we charged it for the recommended 15 to 20 hours. An additional handset battery (not included) can be charged in the base so there will always be a spare. A laminated quick guide is included for convenient reference for basic phone operations. The sturdy handset has an intuitive, backlit keypad and an LCD screen. Indicators let you know which line is in use. The conference and intercom buttons allow you to add a third and fourth party to conversations. Press the clock button and a digital voice announces the time and day.

Up to 30 numbers can be stored in memory and shared by both lines. We were easily able to store a number using the LCD and arrow keys on the handset. To dial a stored number, we simply pressed the memory button, found the number on the LCD and selected a line. If you subscribe to caller ID or call waiting, these functions are also performed using the handset and LCD. There is an 80-number caller ID memory. The handset can be positioned faceup on the base for quick caller identification.

The answering system operates independently for each phone line and the functions are located on the base. Two switches on the side of the base allow you to set the recording time for each line to one minute, four minutes, or announce only. Up to 30 minutes of messages and 10 minutes of a conversation can be recorded. You can access your messages remotely by setting up a PIN. Its convenient, large buttons help make the answering system easy to operate.

In our tests of the Uniden EXS9995, we were able to take the phone outside over 1,000 feet from the base and did not detect voice breakup at any point along the way. Although the range was impressive, we did notice a slight background hum even at close range, but it wasn't enough to be distracting.

With an included belt clip, headset compatibility, and extensive features, the Uniden EXS9995 covers your home answering system needs. --Emily Bakko
