The built-in answering machine is fully digital and can be accessed via the handset. The Uniden DXAI8580-2 cordless phone system offers: Less interference with wireless networking (wi-fi) products. Digital answering system with up to 13 minutes of recording time. 30-number caller ID memory User-friendly voice prompt and display in English, Spanish, and French. Extended Range and Microchip Technology With its 5.8Gz extended range technology, the DXAI8580-2 offers low interference for better voice reception and clearer sound. In addition, the handset accessible digital answering system utilizes microchip technology for clearer recordings and longer life, and also offers remote message playback for when you're out and about. And you'll never again have to worry about replacing broken moving parts! User-Friendly Operation Designed to be easy to use, the DXAI8580-2 provides a host of options that streamline the process of making and receiving calls. First, the backlit keypad allows for effortless dialing, even in low-light conditions, while the trilingual language support guides you through set-up and operation features. Additionally, the display clearly shows the name and number of the caller in call waiting, even while you're already on the phone. (Note: to activate the caller ID features, you must first subscribe through your telephone company.) Time-Saving Features Searching for numbers, rifling through traditional pen and paper address books and hunting for lost handsets can be stressful and time-consuming. That's why the DXAI8580-2 helps keep track of everything so you won't have to. First, the 10 speed-dial locations allow you to access your most-often-dialed numbers quickly and easily, while the last number redial feature instantly dials the last number called at the touch of a button. Set your ringer to high, low or simply turn it off when you don't wish to be disturbed, and select the "Find Handset" locator key at the base when you've misplaced one of the phones. Desk or wall mountable, this convenient system is also headset and hearing aid compatible.

We bought this phone a little over a month ago. Everything went fine for the first couple of weeks. The quality was great. We have Voip and there were not problems. Slowly the problems starting occurring. First we could not call out. It took a couple of tries, but we lived with it. Then we could rarely call out. Now we cannot even answer calls coming in. Do not buy this phone!!

Outside noise is all I can hear when on conversations. Also, when pressing options for recording the phone doesn't pick it up. Worst phone money can buy. So incredibly frustrating.

I bought this phone because of the price and I needed my phones replaced after they were blown out in a electrical storm. While these phones do the purpose, they are not as strong. My previous phone I could walk outside and use it way out in the backyard. This phone, however, is full of static when I get outside the door. I have changed the channel soo many times to try to clear it up. I would not recommend this phone for use outside, however, if you just need a phone for the inside.. this one is ok.
