The built-in answering machine is fully digital and can be accessed via the handset. The Uniden DXAI8580-3 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 DXAI8580-3 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 DXAI8580-3 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 DXAI8580-3 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.

This is the WORST phone I have ever purchased!!! I am actually going to buy another-- the older Uniden version 2.4 from Amazon to go back to the BETTER phone we had before. *Half of the time one of the phone's doesn't work. *I don't like the fact that it only holds 1 week worth of numbers- (the older version holds 100 numbers). *It only has 4 rings to pick from- (the older version had 20). *I get static ALL the time- (the older version never a problem). *I HATE that the display doesn't show unless you have it on the cradle, so you have to put it on a cradle to see which handset it is and how much battery it has- (the old version always showed the display- including the time and date). * There is no locate button if you can't find it- (the old version had a button that you could push to make them all beep). *So far I have not been able to find a "ringer-off" option for the answering machine... so the phone won't ring, but the answering machine still does. *You can't pick up the phone and "answer"it if the machine picked it up first... it says phone in use and hangs up on the person talking on the machine... DO I NEED TO GO ON??? THIS PHONE $UCKS!!! I HATE IT!! I HATE IT!! I HATE IT!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Was okay initially, but less than six months in stinks!, November 29, 2009

Originally, I loved this phone. It gave me all of the things I needed - an answering machine, mutiple headseats, caller ID, speaker phone on the headset etc. However, I have had this set for approximatley six months now and NONE of the three sets will hold a charge for more than half an hour or so. To make it worse, there are no beeps or warnings that the battery is going to die, it just dies in the middle of your conversation! To get the phone to work again, you have to manually unplug the main unit from the wall. Not a wise investment if you want a phone to last more than six months or so.
