The digital answering system provides up to 13 minutes of recording time and features full remote operation, allowing you to check messages while away from home or from the office. The maximum message length can be set either to one or four minutes, and you can choose from prerecorded or personal outgoing messages. Voice prompts in Spanish, French, or English help guide you through setup, while play/stop, skip, delete, and repeat keys help you navigate through your messages. A memo record feature is provided, and a similar conversation record feature lets you record important conversations.
Wall-mountable, the EXAI 978 is also headset compatible and comes with a belt clip for hands-free operation. A page button on the base makes finding a lost handset quick and painless, while the menu-driven handset LCD makes operation easy. Caller ID/ call waiting compatible, the EXAI 978 can store up to 30 numbers in the caller ID memory, and the display and dial feature lets you easily scroll through the list of calls and then 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. An auto-talk function lets you answer calls simply by removing the phone from its cradle, while the flash/talk button lets you switch to an incoming call (requires subscription to a fee-based service) and put the current conversation on hold. A redial button lets you easily call the last outgoing number.
The phone supports both tone and pulse dialing modes. It is backed with a one-year warranty on both parts and labor.

5.0 out of 5 stars
pleased so far...,
By S.S. (Lexington, VA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Uniden EXAI 978i 900 MHz Cordless Phone with Answering System and Caller ID (Ivory) (Office Product)
After a great deal of deliberation I finally settled on this budget Uniden EXAI 978i to replace an older ATT model that was beginning to get buggy. My wife and I were looking for a speaker-phone model but could not find one that matched our needs well enough. I must say that I have been thoroughly pleased with this Uniden, though. Reception and transmission are both very clear and the unit is very small and designed with a small footprint for desktop use. We do not use the caller ID so I can't offer any insight there, but the digital answering system seems to be quite clear and intuitive. All in all, an excellent value.

This review is from: Uniden EXAI 978i 900 MHz Cordless Phone with Answering System and Caller ID (Ivory) (Office Product)
I purchased this phone as a primary answering machine in my home based on my two previous Unidens that I loved and have come to regret it. It's a flimsy machine with poor audio quality. What drives me nuts is the volume - I can barely hear others, but when I speak I feel like my own voice is blasting my eardrum. If I decrease the volume I have a hard time hearing the person on the other end - increase it and I have to hold the phone away from my head when I speak. Nowhere near the quality of the other (more expensive) Unidens. It was so cheap I didn't get around to returning it to Amazon. Oh well, lesson learned. Now I'm going to buy a Panasonic.

Buyer Beware!,

This review is from: Uniden EXAI 978i 900 MHz Cordless Phone with Answering System and Caller ID (Ivory) (Office Product)
Shame on Uniden for making this piece of junk. I bought it October 4th and the unit died completely on Christmas eve... under 3 months later. While I haven't tried contacting Uniden (I'm writing this on Christmas day), it's really not worth the hassle of having it fixed. It was only $25, but for even that much it shoud have lasted longer than 2.5 months. I've loved Uniden in the past, but those have always been their more expensive models which all have great sound quality and have lasted years. This model was purchased merely because I am living away from home for several months and decided my cell phone just wasn't cutting it so I decided to get a home line and an inexpensive phone with an answering machine. Guess I should have just spent another $25 to get something that would actually last. :\
