Rating: Summary: I Hate this phone Review: Contrary to the other review, I HATE THIS PHONE. The clarity is terrible. Also, the two line feature on the handset is confusing. The line functions are difficult to use. Giving Uniden the benefit of the doubt, and considering the other review, perhaps I just got a bad phone. However, this is the second time that I have been disappointed with Uniden products. If you try this phone, save all the packing material so you can return it. I didn't and now I'm afraid that I'm stuck with this hunk-of-junk. The price was great for a phone with so many features. But then...you get what you pay for. Frankly, I'd get a Sony. That's what I intend to do if I can return this one. Beware.
Rating: Summary: No way to turn off ringer! Review: Don't buy this phone if you have teenagers using line 2!This phone has a ringer on the base unit and one in the hand set. You can only turn off ringer on base unit. Handset toggles from low to high volume, presumably so you can always locate the handset. Some clever programming by Uniden could have fixed that feature. Unacceptable in 2001...
Rating: Summary: I also HATED this phone Review: Due to the shape of the handset, I must have, inadvertently, hung up on 30 different people-- apparently while tucking it under my chin for hands-free use (which is 95% of the time). I have owned several different cordless phones,including older Unidens and a Vtech with which I have NEVER had this problem. Also thought the LCD readout was faint, lame, almost completely useless. The battery held the charge well. Fortunately, I still had all the packaging, and after a full month, got a full refund.
Rating: Summary: Enjoying the phones Review: I had ordered one for my husband a year ago because it had all the features he wanted. When I was in need of a new phone I read the reviews which were no longer favorable, but didn't have a problem with the phone set up and hanging up on people or the static when you are in close range of the base. Since I have ordered a second one for my home office - I have noticed static problems when I get to far from the base - but I know it's not a 900mhz phone and I didn't pay for that. The phone works great in my office and that's where I leave it - but I can walk around the upstairs of my home with it - no problems.
Rating: Summary: Had to resubmit... Review: I had very recently given this phone a 3-star rating. However, after using the phone for a longer period of time, I felt obligated to come back and re-review... First things first -- the speakerphone is a nightmare. You can hardly understand the person on the other end. Secondly, as I stated in my other review, I am constantly hanging up inadvertantly. It's extremely annoying to me and the person I am speaking to. Not to mention incredibly unprofessional. I have to say this is not a phone I would recommend. Nothing against Uniden, of course. I just think they need to redesign this phone. It's not worth $1, much less $99. Best of luck.

Rating: Summary: Make sure you know what you're buying! Review: I have an older model Uniden phone that looks very much like the 7926 I just bought for a 2nd home office phone. I immediately noticed that the sound quality in the 7926 earphone (and with a hands-free headset plugged in) was very much inferior to the older unit. The 7926 has a distinct "hiss" around each word spoken--kind of a "white noise" in the background that starts and stops with each word spoken or heard. For me, this hiss gets more irritating as the volume increases. Also the range to the base is far less than the older model. I just checked the model numbers and features and found that the older phone is a Uniden exs9660 and has digital spread spectrum (900 Mhz). The new phone is of course, the exi7926, which does not have spread spectrum, and is, I assume, analog. Wow, what a difference. No "word-hiss" at all in the older phone--I'm assuming this is due to the DSS technology--and much greater range. If this is because of the DSS, I gotta return the 7926 and get something with DSS. More expensive, but worth it for me. Hope this helps someone else who is shopping (I don't think the exs9660 is still available, but am checking).
Rating: Summary: A fair phone for a while Review: I have had this phone for a few years and had to send the handset in for repair to the headset jack. After another 3 years, it needs to be repaired again. The cost to repair and ship it twice is about what it would cost for a new phone. So, I guess I got my money's worth, if I don't get it repaired. Time to look for a better phone system....
Rating: Summary: Great Phone Review: I have tried a number of 2-line phones with caller ID, this one is #1, I can not find one thing about this phone that I do not Like....
Rating: Summary: Great Phone Review: I have tried many brands of two line phones including At&t, & Lucent. All of them had poor reception and didn't last very long before the electronics began to malfunction. This phone was quick and easy to set up and offers great range and clarity. Most of all I like the two line caller id function. This is a must buy if you need a cordless two line phone with all the bells & whistles. I didn't give it a 5 star rating because you can not turn of the handset ringer.
