Summary: Can't Beat It!
Review: Before AT&T phones became shoddy, I would have said they were the best on the market, but now, after trying dozens of different models of cordless phones, I finally found one that is just as good as the old AT&T's. I did go through a battery after about 2 years, but that is the least thing that could happen. Has all the bells and whistles for a great price. Sound is excellent, and the volume of rings, voice, and answering machine can be adjusted. Recommend it highly.

Summary: We love this phone!
Review: First, the best thing about this phone is that it comes in white! **Phone: Clarity:10 Range:10 Craftsmanship:10 Con: Base ringer has no volume control (only off and loud) or tone selection - we turned off the base ringer and set the handset ringer to the 3rd setting (B-High) which is a pleasant sound at just the right volume - the handset rings on or off the base. **Answering Machine: Performance: 10 Ease of use: 10 Recording time:7 (only 15 minutes) Remote access features: 10 Con: OGM is audible. **Speakerphone: Incoming sound: 10 Outgoing sound: 4 (the microphone is located on the back of the unit which muffles the sound - this also affects the customized OGM) **Caller ID/Call Waiting CID: 10

Summary: Love my Uniden exai7980i
Review: I absollutely love this phone. Love it so much, that I bought 4 of them just in case one of them dies and tehy have quit making it. Had another similar phone that I liked a little better (AT&T) but it died and it was more than twice as much. The feature it had that Uniden doesn't is that it actually spoke and told you who was calling in your own voice.

Summary: My Comments on the Uniden EXAI7980 telephone
Review: I just recently purchased a Uniden EXAI7980 telephone. And at about US$70, it's got a lot of very nice features. It is a charcoal-gray 900 Mhz cordless phone with integrated answering machine, speakerphone and caller ID. The sound quality is excellent. It is clear and loud with no interference at any range. I especially like the adjustable volume control that wouldn't default back when you hang up (unlike my last phone). The only major complaint that I have about this phone is that there is no battery backup for recorded messages. And that, I feel, is quite unacceptable, considering all of today's telephones with integrated answering machine have some sort of battery backup. So, if there is ever a power outage, you will definitely lose all of your previously recorded messages. If either you work from a home-office or this will be your only answering machine, then I strongly wouldn't recommend this. Otherwise, if you can overlook this design flaw, then this is a great all-in-one telephone for anyone who doesn't rely heavily on its answering machine capabilities.

Summary: Same problem as above
Review: I was having battery trouble with mine after 2 years as well, but that's to be expected. I bought a new battery for about $12 and it works great and hasn't died on me yet, even after hours on the phone. It has great reception for the price!

Summary: good price, not so great battery or range
Review: i've had this phone for about two years. the reception has been fine, provided you don't go too far away. in my old apartment, i didn't have any problems with it. in the house i live in now, i'm ok in the house, but the second i step outside, in comes the static. i could live with that, it's not the greatest, but for having spent only about 80 bucks, i could deal with it -- try finding another cordless with digital answering machine and caller id for the same amount. now, though, if the phone's off the base for more than a couple of hours, the battery dies, inevitably after you've been waiting on hold for something, right after you get connected. i'm debating getting a new battery, or a new phone....

Summary: Easy to use, nice features
Review: I've had this phone/anwering system for quite a while now and it has not disappointed me at all. In my opinion, the highlights are:
- Toll saver (the answering machine answers on 3 rings when there are messages, in 4 or more when there are no messages)
- You can listen to your messages remotely, using a password
- Pager button to locate a misplaced handset using a loud beep
- Digital message recording - No tapes or rewinds necessary
- Enough message storage capacity - I have never ran out of space for messages
- Caller ID
- Loudness settings
- Different ring types available
- You can connect headphones to the handset
- Speaker phone capabilities
- Easy to configure date/time settings
- Display the minutes used in most recent call
- Easy to obtain replacement handset batteries in any Radio Shack Store (Cat No. 23-193, Ni-Cd 3.6V 700mAh) Quirks:
- Sometimes the answering system doesn't stop recording after you pick up the handset. It records the whole conversation up to the time limit preset. There is no specific condition that triggers this (total mistery)
- Sometimes the handset doesn't start recharging after placing it on the base. You need to jiggle the handset a bit to make it recharge Notes:
As with any electrical device, the phone stops working when there's a power outage. Always keep a standard phone available in another extension just in case, unless you connect the Uniden phone to a UPS (as I do) There are currently more "technologically advanced" phones on the market, but this "old" guy compares favorably with many of them and it is more affordable. Best phone I ever had. 100% Recommended. -
