Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description The Uniden DMX 778 cordless phones system features 2.4 GHz digital operation for clear, reliable calls, a built-in digital answering system, plus room for expansion (up to four handsets total, model DCX770). Featuring a stylish black and silver design with an asymmetrical charging cradle, this phone is not only attractive but also offers a wealth of features.

Ready for caller ID with call waiting (with subscription through your phone service), the DMX 778 stores up to 100 names and numbers per handset (shared between the caller ID and programmable phonebook), or up to 400 per system if you add three model DCX 770 accessory handsets (sold separately). These numbers can be sorted for easy recall and can even be transferred between handsets.

The handset offers a large backlit LCD displaying date, time, caller ID information, calendar, text-messaging between handsets, and navigation icons. Navigation is achieved through a series of soft-key menus and a joystick-style toggle control. Handsets can also be used as a convenient room/baby monitor and for two-way radio communication between handsets (using DirectLink mode). The DMX 778 comes complete with a belt clip for hands-free headset use (not included).

1.0 out of 5 stars Former Uniden fan, July 8, 2006

CJ (Long Beach CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Uniden DMX778 2.4 GHz DSS Expandable Trendy Cordless Phone with Answering System and Caller ID (Silver/Black) (Office Product)
I bought this system when it first came out and never have I spent more on a phone. I bought the DMX778 plus 2 of the satellite units. The caller ID has NEVER worked, and customer service NEVER helped. They were very adept at giving me the run-around though. The quality is so poor that whomever I am speaking with gets static. No matter how I adjust the sound, I can never hear very well either. This 2.4 GHz unit often says I have no service due to being out of range RIGHT NEAR THE BASE UNIT. The outgoing greeting on the answering system sounds fine, but all incoming messages are INAUDIBLE. I have had many Unidens and always loved them. I'll try to dig up my 900 MHz as it always worked better than this expensive system (still, these many years later). These are really pieces of poo-poo.

1.0 out of 5 stars Defective Product- TWICE, November 1, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Uniden DMX778 2.4 GHz DSS Expandable Trendy Cordless Phone with Answering System and Caller ID (Silver/Black) (Office Product)
I got a defective unit, so I called Uniden customer service. I've never been treated more rudely by customer "service" in my life. They refused to help me without my home phone number (I don't give it out- that's why it's called "unlisted") and they bascially told me it was *my* fault that the phone wouldn't even power on. (even though I'd charged it for 24 hours).

Then I called the seller- what a different experience. WestCoastMall.net was professional and courteous. They quickly provided and RMA, and exchanged the unit. Unfortunately the new unit was also defective. When I called for the second RMA, they told me they'd had a very high number of these units coming back as defective. No surprise- if Uniden's QA department is run by the same folks as their Customer Service, I'm not shocked in the least.

I was really disappointed, because on paper this looks like a great product- it has all the features I wanted: small enough to wear on my belt (with a headset), but also has caller ID and speakerphone. Too bad they can't actually deliver a working product.

Short version: Stay away from Uniden.

1.0 out of 5 stars Uniden doesn't test their phones?, July 4, 2008
This review is from: Uniden DMX778 2.4 GHz DSS Expandable Trendy Cordless Phone with Answering System and Caller ID (Silver/Black) (Office Product)
I purchased this phone because it uses lithium ion batteries, which are the best. Unfortunately, the phone would not power on, even after charging it for several days. Returned it for a refund. Apparently, I am not alone in this experience.
