Amazon.com Product Description The Uniden DECT2060-2 Cordless Phone comes with one extra handset/cradle so you can enjoy crystal clear reception and incredible sound with every call you make throughout your home or small office. Offering DECT technology for static-free reception and a host of advanced features, this user-friendly phone streamlines the process of making and receiving calls so it's simpler and more pleasant.

DECT 6.0 technology offers better performance, security, and battery life than older 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz phones. The Uniden DECT2060-2 cordless phone offers: Wi-fi friendly DECT 6.0 technology for maximum voice clarity and call security. Expandability to 6 handsets Longer battery life allows up to 16 hours of talk time. High-capacity phonebook for up to 70 names and numbers. Clear Voice Reception Utilizing the newly ratified DECT 6.0 frequency band, the DECT2060-2 provides the clearest voice reception available and can easily be used with Wireless Home Networking (WLAN) systems without interference. This technology also ensures whole house coverage and maximum voice security. The DECT2060-2 is even expandable up to six handsets to one base, so it can grow with your family or business. Time-Saving Options Boasting a longer battery life than comparable systems, the DECT2060-2 is designed to give you plenty of time-saving options. First, it displays call waiting and caller ID numbers (note: this feature requires a telephone company service subscription) so you always know who's calling, even when you're already using the line. You can conveniently hold a three-way conversation between your handset, an external caller and another internal handset user--a fun and efficient option for talking to family and friends. It also features a 30 caller ID handset memory and advanced phonebook capabilities that allow for the storage of up to 70 names, as well as an alphabetical search option and your choice of unique ringers assigned to specific calling parties. Additionally, you can quickly transfer a single listing or the entire phonebook. User-Friendly Operation User-friendly and easy to operate, the DECT2060-2 offers up to 16 hours of talk time per battery charge, 10 days of standby time, and a convenient redial feature that accesses the last 10 numbers dialed. English and Spanish menus guide you through set-up and operation, and the included NiMH battery means you can set-up and get started right away.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good features, so-so voice quality, November 30, 2007

This review is from: Uniden DECT 6.0 Compact Cordless Phone with Caller ID and Extra Handset and Charging Cradle. (Office Product)

I bought this particular phone because it was the only one that has all of the features I needed for my home office phone -- voicemail indicator, belt clip, earphone jack, speakerphone -- as well as the usual things like speed dialing and Caller ID. (I was surprised at how few phones come without answering machines now.) This phone was easy to set up and program. The handsets can send copies of speed dial numbers to each other. It's also a nice-looking phone that doesn't take up much space on the desk. The microphone in the handset is not very good. My voice sounds overmodulated to people I'm talking with. I usually use a headset, though, so that's not a huge issue for me. One very strange thing I have discovered is that the Caller ID on this phone does not interface with the programmed numbers, so if someone who's in my list of speed dial numbers calls me, their name is not displayed. I've never had a phone that did not recognize programmed numbers, so I find this very strange. I contacted Uniden about it, and they say this is the normal operation for this phone. This is probably the biggest con from my point of view, because my coworkers are all at another location, and I would like to be able to greet them by name when I answer the phone. It's not enough to make me take back the phone, because this is still the only phone that has all of the other features I want. But I do find it very strange that any phone would not have this feature. I always thought it was standard. Everything else about it appears to work well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Phone System, December 30, 2007

This review is from: Uniden DECT 6.0 Compact Cordless Phone with Caller ID and Extra Handset and Charging Cradle. (Office Product)

I needed something to replace the old V-tech cordless phone system in our home. Since we have Voice Mail provided by the local telephone company, I did not need an answering system. The clarity of the phone is great. I have lots of wireless electronics in my home and have found zero interference. I like that the buttons are lit. I am not a fan of the orange color, but it is something I can live with. The handsets are comfortable and buttons are easy to use. The only thing I would have liked was for the base to have controls on it. I used that a lot when the old phone was not in its cradle and I could not find it in time to answer a call. I have already expanded my system to 4 handsets and can place them anywhere in my home without worrying about where the phone jacks are.

5.0 out of 5 stars FINALLY, a phone that does it all!, August 27, 2008

I did extensive research on cordless phones when my old Panasonc 5.8GH finally died. I tried and tested quite a few but always ended up returning them for one reason or another. Then I found the Uniden DECT 2060-2 6.0 GH model. It had everything I needed. I did not want an answering machine and that is hard to find these days. It has small, well lit and comfortable handsets, a soft, easy to use keypad, incrediable clarity and range. There's also fun ringtones, a phonebook, speakerphone, message waiting indicator, caller ID, redial, intercom, headset compatible and it's expandable. I also needed to be able to hang the base on the wall which is almost impossible to find. I've had this system for about 6 months and have never had a problem with low batteries or being out of range. No problems at all and I plan to purchase additional handsets. I would highly recommend this phone to anyone in the market for a new cordless!
