Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
A 5.8 GHz analog cordless phone from Uniden, the EXI 5160 comes with a number of useful features and provides both a high-quality signal and reliable operation. Stylish and affordable, the EXI 5160 is a good choice for those uninterested in extraneous bells and whistles. By utilizing the less cluttered 5.8 GHz frequency, the EXI 51601 is able to offer clearer, more intelligible reception than traditional phones operating on crowded 900 MHz or 2.4 GHz bands. An autoscan features automatically detects the channel with the least interference.
Caller ID/call waiting compatible, the EXI 5160 can store up to 30 numbers in the caller ID memory, while the display-and-dial feature lets you easily scroll through the list of calls and dial with the touch of a button. Up to 10 memory locations are available for the most frequently dialed numbers, and a RocketDial feature allows you to dial the most important number simply by pressing the RocketDial button. Each memory location supports up to 20 digits for numbers which require chain dialing.
Handset and ringer volume controls allow you to easily adjust the phone's settings to your liking. A page button on the base makes finding a lost handset quick and painless, while the menu-driven handset LCD makes operation easy. The auto-talk function lets you answer calls simply by removing the phone from its cradle. A 32 digit redial button lets you easily call the last outgoing number, while both tone and pulse dialing modes are provided in case you need to switch to one or the other. Wall-mountable, the EXI 5160 is headset compatible and comes with a belt clip for hands-free operation. It also comes backed with a one-year warranty on both parts and labor.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The clearest of any phone in the 'GHz family' I've used,
By A Customer
This review is from: Uniden EXI 5160 5.8 GHz Cordless Phone with Caller ID (Office Product)
I've been through several cordless phones over the years, from 900MHz analog to 2.4GHz digital spread spectrum....Panasonic, GE, VTech, Uniden, Siemens, etc. In fact, I recently returned 2 Panasonic 2.4GHz phones because of consistent complaints from people on the other end that some of my words and even complete sentences were getting cut off. I also got a lot of voice echoing with the Panasonics, a trait of every Panasonic digital I've owned or tried. The Uniden EXI 5160 so far has never had these problems and is hands-down the clearest cordless phone in the `GHz family' I've used. Very natural sounding, unlike the 'digitized' incoming voices of many other phones. I live in a large 2-story home with the base unit upstairs in my office, and it's crystal clear throughout the house, garage and greenhouse. Never a hint of clicking, static, or interference of any kind. Venturing away from the house outside will produce slight interference now and then, but I don't make it a habit of using my cordless phones for conversations 2 bocks away, so it's not a concern. That's what cell phones are for. Unlike 2.4GHz phones that are affected by microwave ovens in use, the 5160 is not affected at all. Handset volume is good, and easily adjusted via convenient buttons on the handset. Battery life (talk time/standby time) seems to be excellent, although I haven't pushed either to the limits...but have had the handset off the base for 5 days at a time with plenty of talk time to spare. Comfortable handset design, easy to hold and easy on the ear. Controls are well placed and the display is easy to read. The 5160's features are basic....no bells and whistles....and include:~Tone/Pulse dialing Charging battery for first time requires 15-20 hrs. Complaints? (1) No battery life indicator in display (2) Limited memory for storing personal contacts...only 10 names/numbers, although another phone number can be programmed into the 'rocket dial' feature (3) No mute If you need to store more than 10 personal contacts or looking for a lot of bells and whistles, this phone isn't for you. But if you want an extremely clear, no-nonsense cordless that excels at communication performance, comfort and battery life, the 5160 may be what you're looking for. Please keep in mind that cordless phones can perform quite differently depending on the area where you live, interference from outside sources, base placement, etc. My observations are based on my particular conditions and location. I paid $65 at Target, but watch for deals during the holidays. I noticed in our Sunday paper today that Best Buy has the 5160 for $59.99, so plan to head back to Target and do a little price shopping....get a few more bucks back.

5.0 out of 5 stars
So far, it's a great value,
By A Customer
This review is from: Uniden EXI 5160 5.8 GHz Cordless Phone with Caller ID (Office Product)
I bought this phone a few weeks ago at Target and I am quite pleased with it. It has nearly all the features I was looking for (exception is a backlit keypad, but I really don't tend to make calls in the dark- the display is illuminated, though) and none of the extras that would cost more and go unused (I already have voicemail, so I did not need a built-in answering system). The price is very reasonable, especially for a 5.8 MHz phone, and the phone itself is simple to use. The sound quality has been very good and I haven't had any problems with range. Based on all the negative reviews I'd read about so many of the cordless phones out there, I thought I'd never find a good phone that was well-priced, but I think I've actually succeeded.

Great no frills cordless phone,
By
This review is from: Uniden EXI 5160 5.8 GHz Cordless Phone with Caller ID (Office Product)
We purchased this phone when we decided to switch our phone service to Vonage. We wanted a cordless phone that would allow us to take advantage of the many free features, without adding redundant features. The lack of an answering machine in this phone made this an ideal choice for this reason. The phone has performed flawlessly since we set it up. Both the Caller ID and voicemail indicator work as expected. The controls are easy to understand and set up. The phone is also very comfortable to hold. I cannot really speak for the range as I live in an apartment, but I have not experienced any noise anywhere in my home. Being a 5.8 GHz phone I also do not have to worry about interference with my Wi-Fi network or baby monitor. The only disadvantage I can see is the lack of expandability with multiple handsets.
All in all I think this is a great phone for a great price. If no frills is what you want, this phone fits the bill.
