1.0 out of 5 stars DXI-5686-2 not a good buy, February 3, 2008

I purchased this phone because it was on sale. I did not check the reviews and what a mistake. I cannot even walk into a different room without losing reception. When I lean the phone on my ear it hangs up on the person I am speaking with. I work out of my basement and need a decent range and this is not the phone. This is a perfect example of cheaper is not better. Don't buy this phone.

1.0 out of 5 stars 2 handsets but can't talk at the same time, September 19, 2007

This review is from: Uniden Dxi5686-2 5.8 Ghz Dual Handset Extended Range Cordless Phone System With Call Waiting Caller Id (Office Product)

from the manual:
"Only one handset at a time can talk with an outside caller. To allow the other handset to talk to the caller, transfer the call."

Basically, if one person is already talking on HS1 and you want to use the second handset to join that conversation, it's not possible. huge drawback for a multi-station phone, you can only TRANSFER the call, but you can't both be talking at the same time... poor design.

Range is decent on this unit.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible range, September 4, 2007

This is a decent looking phone, can hold a charge well, and is easy to use. The terrible range makes is un-usable for me. I can even walk into the next room with out getting terrible static. If I go more that 20 feet from the base, I lose my call. I think it's going back....
