Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Uniden EXAI8580 Digital Cordless Phone/Digital Answering System makes it easy to stay in touch with family and friends. Packed with advanced features, this user-friendly system includes a convenient belt clip.

Extended Range and Microchip Technology
With its 5.8Gz extended range technology, the EXAI8580 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 EXAI8580 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 EXAI8580 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.

About Uniden 5.8GHz phones
Uniden 5.8GHz phones operate on the higher end of the frequency spectrum, providing greater range and less interference than standard 2.4GHz phones. Uniden 5.8GHz digital FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) technology secures privacy while providing longer range and crystal clear sound. 5.8GHz frequencies often escape most wireless interference, including most Wi-Fi networks, resulting in a cleaner and clearer signal, and unlike many other 5.8GHz phones, Uniden TRU series phones both transmit and receive in 5.8GHz.

The EXAI8580 is backed by a one-year limited warranty.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good machine overall, June 18, 2008

This review is from: Uniden EXAI8580 5.8 GHz Digital Cordless Phone with Digital Answering System (Office Product)

I bought this because I wanted an all-in-one machine (Handset, speaker phone and message machine) but had limited funds. The speaker phone is built into the handset itself which is pretty handy because you can use it hands-free in a different room - the other day I carried on a conversation while I was working on a project back in the bedroom. The clarity of the speaker phone and handset is not perfectly crystal clear but it's decent. That's the four stars.

The message machine is quite clear in sound and is very easy to operate. The entire unit is very compact and attractive and has a well-made feel to it. I think for the money this is a great deal and I consider the money well spent. If you are on a tight budget but want a well-made system that overall functions quite well I would definitely recommend this one.

3.0 out of 5 stars Occasional static, but otherwise a decent phone for the price, June 26, 2008

This review is from: Uniden EXAI8580 5.8 GHz Digital Cordless Phone with Digital Answering System (Office Product)

I bought this phone for my home office and the very occasional static does become annoying during business calls, but otherwise it's a decent phone for the price. It's compatible with most headphone mics for hands-free calling, the digital answering machine function works well, the caller I.D. function identifies caller after the first ring and allows me to screen my calls, and the memory function remembers the last several calls. If you're looking for crystal-clear sound, however, you're not going to get it with this phone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Cordless Phone with Headset Jack on Handset, October 23, 2008

This review is from: Uniden EXAI8580 5.8 GHz Digital Cordless Phone with Digital Answering System (Office Product)

I have had VTech and GE phones before but I found the clarity of voice on this the best. The handset is pretty light compared to the GE phone and pleasant in looks.

Pros -
- Headset jack on handset: I found this feature very useful for long conference calls so that I do not have to keep holding the handset in one hand while working on my laptop for a web meeting call.

- Speaker phone on handset: Again - good for long meeting calls but with this you can share your communication with other in the room. So this is good for family calls too.

- Low price, high value: I found the price on Amazon very good - at $27 with free shipping was even better than getting one from Walmart.
