Summary: only minor complaints
Review: This phone is packed with all of the features I was looking for; however, there are a few annoying things about it. The first is that both the line 1 and line 2 buttons light up when either line rings. Also, there is no indicator if someone is on one of the lines -- the only way to find out is to try to pick up a line and see if the phone beeps at you. My last gripe is with the caller ID. It doesn't automatically display the name and number when the phone starts ringing but rather requires an extra button press. Other than these things the phone seems good.

Summary: great phone
Review: This phone works really well - I have had no problems. One of the reviews above states that the phone cannot be used to answer calls picked up 1st by another phone or vice versa. This is not true. Hold the button a little longer to answer on a "line in use". Just a feature to keep you from jumping in on someone accidentally.Have no fear - buy it.

Summary: Missing Feature
Review: Uniden makes great phones - have been buying them for years but this one is a reject for one simple reason... while it is a 2-line phone, it only has *one* on/off ring setting for both lines. I can't turn off my teenagers line #2 on the master bedroom phone!!!

Summary: Better sound quality...
Review: We bought this phone after my wife insisted that our standard Uniden 900 Mhz sound quality wasn't good enough, so we opted for the digital spread spectrum model. It's definitely an upgrade. We have the 9980 model, which has an excellent digital answering machine and one line. The battery in the phone itself is a bit weak (If you forget to hang it up it dies). My favorite factor with all of the Uniden models is that they have a very tactile feel. When you push a button, you know it, no mush. It's the only brand on the market that seems to have that feel -- sort of the way nothing used to feel like an IBM keyboard, if you know what I mean. It's also a comfortable and lightweight phone, not too small like many phones nowadays (who wants a teensy phone that has a microphone two inches from your mouth?). All in all, I like it plenty, and it's also the top-rated cordless brand in Consumer Reports. Enjoy!

Summary: Good phone, but........
Review: We had last year's model of this phone and just loved it but it was water damaged and we ordered this one to replace it. The range is well over 1,000 feet and very clear. And, the price is right, but.... It has the most uncomfortable ear piece we have ever used. It is impossible to talk for more than a minute or two without having to lift the earpiece away from your ear as it HURTS! The other thing is that on the older model we had, it would automatically answer an incoming call as soon as the handset was picked up. You didn't have to press line 1 or 2. This model requires that in order to answer any call you must press the associated line number first. The owner's manual states two things about this. First it says "press line 1 to answer", but next to it it says "AutoTalk automatically connects the line when you pick up the handset from the base" Which it does not. Another "improvement" they've added is that if you put a call on hold from a different phone and try and pickup with this phone, you must press the line number TWICE. The old phone allowed instant access. Their last "improvement" requires that you scroll down a long list of numbers in memory to find the one you want rather than just hitting "memory 1", or "memory 2", etc. Also on this one you can't just hit "1" or "2" or "3", you must hit "01" or "02" or "03". Just a pain. So, price is right, range is right, clarity is right, but.....

Summary: Solid, full featured phone
Review: While it is a little clunky, it has all the features I needed in a phone. 2 line, Spread spectrum, Headset Jack, Caller ID/Waiting, Battery swappable. The speakerphone is decent for waiting on hold, and the only complaint I have is that the handset is not smaller. Sound quality is good enough to overcome that shortcoming. And it doesn't mess with my wireless network -- an added bonus!

Summary: Everyone's favorite phone
Review: With teenage daughters in the house, all our phones get a lot of use. We really need both lines, caller ID, call waiting, the whole works. We have had other cordless phones over the years, and still have two different Panasonics, another Uniden, and this model EXS9966. All of them get their fair share of use, but this phone is everyone's favorite. The sound is crystal clear. The range is remarkable, up to 500 feet from the base. The battery life is healthy. But the real reason everyone likes this phone is it is to easy to use. The buttons are large and easy to read. The handset buttons and display light up when in use. The memory holds more numbers than we need, and it is easy to access. You can easily begin a call on the base speakerphone, then switch it to the handset by merely lifting it off the base. This is makes waiting on hold easier. The handset is always getting carried off to other rooms, but it's easy to find with the page/intercom button. My one minor gripe is that it can be hard to find the "hold" button on the handset (it is the same as the Caller ID button). But teenage girls can't be wrong, and like I said, this is everyone's favorite phone.
