4.0 out of 5 stars Good for the Money But Doesn't Have Input Jack for Headset, March 7, 2010

This review is from: Uniden DECT1580 DECT 6.0 Silver Cordless Digital Answering System with Caller ID (Office Product)

I bought this to replace an old Uniden EXA1978 900 mhz cordless phone with digital answering machine. The 1580 is equal or better in all aspects but lacks an input jack for a headset. I thought this would be a deal breaker but the addition of a speaker phone on the handset (I feel) makes up for this. My only other complaint which is a complaint about all digital answering machines is that you cannot turn off the volume of the base when someone leaves a message. You can only lower the volume to 1 which still allows you to hear someone leaving you a message. Not great when you're a light sleeper and you get a wrong number in the middle of the night. For what it is worth, you can turn off the ringers on both the base and handset. And you could turn the answer function off which would prevent the scenario just described. Sound quality and reception is excellent. Overall, I think the phone is fine for the money. Amazon's price at the time of this writing is competitive with a local box store that starts with a W.

This review is from: Uniden DECT1580 DECT 6.0 Silver Cordless Digital Answering System with Caller ID (Office Product)

This is the best phone that I've ever owned. The handset shows the time, it blinks if someone has left you a message, in case you're not near the answering machine, it's extremely easy to add calls to the phonebook, bright easy to read large display, several ring tones to pick from, answering machine is great. Volume and ring level is loud, sound is clear, I can be quite a distance from the base and it works great.

this is a great phone for the money. other phones can cost more but i think its just for the design. it comes with all the needed features; caller id, answering system, speaker phone, and it is expandable. so priced under $30, its well worth it every penny.
