5.0 out of 5 stars Best phone I have owned, July 10, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Uniden EXAI-398 900 MHz Cordless Phone with Call Waiting/Caller ID & Answering System (Black) (Office Product)
In a period of three months, I have purchased 4, yes 4 different cordless phone answering machines, and this Uniden has been the best by far (my AT&T was the worst). The reception on the Uniden is clear, and the voice quality on the digital answering machine is far superior to the other digital answering machines I have had. Unlike my Panasonic which constantly cut off messages early, the Uniden is great at capturing the entire message. My AT&T phone answering machine had no option for turning off the message alert which means any time you turned off the ringer, you could still be woken up or interrupted by the beep of the answering machine telling you there was a new message. The Uniden has the capability to turn this feature on and off. Unlike other phones, the controls on the Uniden are easy to use and I was able to program names and numbers in the phone without using the manual (a first for me). Common controls such as headset volume and ringer on/off are easy to use buttons on the Uniden (other phones had to be programmed and were very difficult to change). The Uniden also displays on its screen information such as ringer status, volume control, caller ID, talk time, etc. It also has a feature so that the phone automatically answers upon removing it from the receiver instead of having to press to talk button. The factory default is set with this feature off, but it can be easily activated through the menu. The phone has a plug that works well with my headset. It also has a neat feature called "rocket dial" which is a button that you program for your most commonly dialed number. Just pickup the phone, press the button, and it dials the number. This particular model cost me [very little] and it is better than other models I have purchased for double the price such as Panasonic, GE, AT&T, and V-Tech. I cannot believe the number of features they have packed into this high-quality phone at such a bargain price. I will never buy anything else.

5.0 out of 5 stars You will not regret buying this cordless phone, July 20, 2003

This review is from: Uniden EXAI-398 900 MHz Cordless Phone with Call Waiting/Caller ID & Answering System (Black) (Office Product)
After reading through different user reviews, I found that Uniden had got quite high rating in their cordless phone products. My original cordless phone was 900 MHz (AT&T), it works just fine (sound quality is not so good). I need to purchase another cordless phone with caller ID feature. I've considered to purchae either 2.4 GHz or 5.8 GHz but eventually I think the sound quality and some basic features (caller ID, memory function) are the most important factors. Besides, 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz are more expansive than 900 MHz phone set.

I've purchase one (southwestern bell) from Ebay and it turned out to be a big mistake (very poor sound quality). I suggest you should purchase cordless phone sets from retailers (ex. Best Buy or Circuit City) so that you can exchange for other brand/models if the one you purchased turns out to be a mistake.

I'm very happy with this Uniden phone set, it's easy to setup and it has all the features that I need. Most important of all, the sound quality is great. I love it so much!!

PS. Most new buy phones, you will have to charge them for more than 12 hours before you can verify their function and features but you do not have to wait with this product. As soon as you installed the battery, it's ready to rock.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than expected!!, June 27, 2003
This review is from: Uniden EXAI-398 900 MHz Cordless Phone with Call Waiting/Caller ID & Answering System (Black) (Office Product)
I always liked Panasonic telephones. I bought this for my Mom w/ a coupon I got. I ended up keeping it. I own a 2.4mhz Panasonic that I will put on sale soon. I started using this phone because the Panasonic picks up to much static and interferance. Not this one, it is great and the battery last a very long time. My Mom ended up buying a Uniden to and even after dropping it in the toilet (a long story,) the darn thing still works. I use my all over the house and outside, it has an excellent range. I am very happy with it and for the price you pay, it is a great deal!
