This Uniden phone is really a bargain for all the capabilites that you get. Temperature, humidity, weather forecasting, tide levels, alarm clock and an excellent cordless phone. I have several similar uniden cordless phones in my house (without the temperature, humidity feature) and they are without a doubt the best sounding cordless phones I have owned. The only downside is the phone's range is a little limited. It tends to get noisy at about 50 feet or so. It comes with a belt clip and my wife uses it with a headset/mike (not included) for walking around the house while she is on the phone.

I bought this phone from Staples for $15 after rebate. The sound quality is good from the 900MHz phone. The ear piece could be a little bit bigger for my ears but it's not too uncomforable. The weather feature is nice. The forcasting is sometime a hit or miss thing. It's supposed to forcast what the weather is like for the next 12-24 hours, but most of the time it tells you what the weather is like now (which isn't all that helpful). However, having the outdoor temp and the humidity are realtively acurate. I do wish the base kept track of the caller-id numbers instead of just showing the caller-id number when the call is coming in. The headset does keep track of your recent calls.

A Christmas Gift for our grown daughter. She loved it. She calls almost daily to compare readings. While we recognize the device is not so sophisticated that it will compete with the meteorologist on the evening news, it is certainly helpful when deciding what to wear for the day, and to know whether the pets should be sheltered for the evening.

Neat product. Well worth the money.

Had this phone for a while now and use as alarm and sometimes for weather. Phone has not worked since day one with poor poor voice quality. I called Uniden and customer service AWFUL and NOT HELPFULL at all......How hard would it have been to excharge phone? I was not asking for anything else!

We've had two of these phones in our house for several years now, and have purchased one as a gift for a relative. We're quite satisfied with the phones. Excellent audio quality, range is good, fairly easy to set the clock and other settings. Handset display is a bit difficult to see unless you're holding the handset directly in front of you in adequate light. Weather readings seem to be quite accurate. Overall, a fine phone.

The readout is impossible to read if it is too dark or too bright, and the weather sensor drains batteries. Furthermore, I bought this phone and and the voice mail indicator didn't work, so I sent it back for replacement--the voice mail indicator on the replacement didn't work either. The sound was fine but not great. I am now looking to purchase a weather phone from a different company--this one just isn't doing it for us.

I like this phone/weather station, even if I'm the only one who uses it. The drawbacks I found are it is hard to read at times, because it has no back light, unless you hit the snooze button. I don't use the alarm feature so I taped down the snooze button and it stays light now. The other problem I found was the caller id redial doesn't dial 1 before dialing out of area callbacks, but if you hit the one fast enough it works fine. Very easy to setup. I had this up about six month's and so far the batteries still work fine. The other reason I got this phone is 900mhz operating frequency, it will not interfere with wifi or wireless internet like the now popular 2.4ghz phones. this is fun and useful.
