4.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Phone for the home, April 4, 2005

This review is from: Uniden 2.4GHz Telephone w/ 4 Handsets - DCT-748-4 (Electronics)

Just purchased this phone from Costco for 99.99, less than anywhere else available. The features of this phone are great. Being able to retrieve messages from any of the 4 handsets is a major plus. The intercom feature from handset to handset also ranks high on the feature list. I have not had the opportunity to try the enhanced Caller ID feature yet where you can send people to voice mail, dump the call, or have it announce that you will not take this call... but it does sound cool.

Ergonomically the phone is easy to hold against the ear with your shoulder due to the size. It's not thin where it will make you crank your head way over, and it's not too thick either.

I was worried about using it so close to my wireless network setup in the office. But have not had a single problem even though they reside in the same 2.4 GHZ band.

Everything about this phone screams comfort to use. But there are some drawbacks that I have found.

First, the buttons need to be pressed down fully to be used. While this is not like my last phone, you may find it not so easy for the elderly.

The End button is placed in a weird place, that takes some time to get used to. They have such a large Talk button, that I feel it should also have been used to end a call, but then again, where would you put the flash button? (The talk button does both features).

It will take some time to get used to all the features that are available... since they are all accessed through the menu/clear and select buttons even while on a call... which is how you dump calls that are coming through to voice mail.. a cool feature.

Overall I would rate it a high 4, not a 5 since nothing is perfect. But for the price of getting all these phones in the house with only having to plug in one for the jack, this is a great buy. The feature list is bigger than what they advertise, so be prepaired, but whats great is that you won't get lost in setting this up... or using them, Menu items are done very well.

Worth the money... in my opinion YES

2.0 out of 5 stars not for homes over 1800 sq ft, September 3, 2009

I purchased this system for my 2850 sq ft home. The phones are nice and user friendly but the singles are very weak and do not cover the entie house. They drop call or your getting a scratchy sound but once you move closer to the base it is some better. I have put the base in a central portion of my house but it still gives out a poor single.
