Like most of you, I looked at all the phones. I just had to write this because I feel more should enjoy this great phone. It's great because 1) It has a lighted keypad-great at night it lights up when it rings, displaying the callers name and phone number. 2) The caller ID is three line and has caller ID while on call waiting. If you have a caller ID unit more than a year old it probably can't work on call waiting. This is a great feature that your paying the phone company for anyway, so buy this phone and use it. 3) Voice clarity it clear clear clear. And with DSS there's no chance of people listening in. And for those of you in loud environments, this phone is great. It actually has three more loudness levels after the normal setting which is where it is normally. 4) The caller ID memory stores 50 names. Use it like an adress book, push talk and it dials the number automatically. 5) Uniden quality. I've had another Uniden phone for over 10 years, and no problem. 6) Comfort on the ear. This phones earpiece doesn't hurt like other phone where the earpiece doesn't protrude.

This is the perfect phone to add. Hide the base anywhere-the phone is all you need!

The Uniden EXS 9960 is a great phone. We've had it for a month now and have had no problems and are very pleased with the purchase. We get DSS privacy and great sound quality to boot. There is no echo that we can detect. People we call say the sound quality is much improved from our previous portable. Set up is a breeze and speed dial and Caller ID are easy to use. Volume controls are easy to adjust. Also, this was the only DSS phone we found that had a lighted key pad - a great feature if you keep it by the bed at night. Also has battery backup for power outages - a feature not found on many portables. The size of the phone is great - not too big or heavy. The only drawback, and it's a very minor one, is that the phone is just a bit too small to hold between your ear and shoulder - which actually may be considered a good thing, since that move is bad for the neck anyway. We highly recommend this phone.

I read consumer reports and noticed that the Uniden brand had the highest marks for sound clarity. Then I went to work on the Uniden website searching for the perfect phone with the features I require. This phone has been excellent. The sound quality is clearer than any phone, including any phone with a cord that I have used in my home. The LCD display and lighted keypad make it a keeper. I found that it is most inexpensive on Amazon.com. Buy a headset, you won't be able to live without it after trying it once.

When my last phone died, I decided to do some research and get the best possible phone in my price range. Consumer Reports recommended the Uniden 9600. After reviewing customer comments, I bought it. Its great. The handset is light and comfortable and I love the 20 number memory feature, crystal clear sound and caller ID. I'm happy with my decision. If your looking for a great phone, go for this one. You won't regret it.

I love the sound quality and range of this phone. However, it has a serious flaw: I keep accidentally hanging up because the large talk and flash buttons press against my cheek bone if I wedge the phone between my head and shoulder. I wish there were a fix for this because otherwise it's a great phone (maybe I should try a headset).

The Uniden EXS 9960 is an electronic work of art that WORKS! I doubt that even Uniden knew it had such a real winner untill the reviews started coming in. This phone is CLEAR sounding, (can't tell it from our $100 corded phone),without a trace of echo or interference even when placed on a table next to my computer- not a recommended practice. It is full featured with a distinct feel of solid quality. It's buttons are of a functional size, they do not move laterally as on lesser brands and they are logicaly placed making the manual easy to follow. They are lighted, and the sound control parameters (ringer and volume) are realistic-no need to ever ask other party to "speak up" or the ringer to deafen you if its nearby, and it can be turned off. In short this is a solidly built phone that exudes complete durability as well as quality simply by picking it up. Its display is roomy and easy to negotiate AND it is affordable. Makes one feel like picking up some Uniden stocks! DON'T OVERLOOK THIS ONE!

I returned a Panasonic (which had an annoying interference between your own voice and what you heard), a Southwestern Bell Freedom Phone (only $29, but sounded like it), and an AT&T/Lucent (which abruptly dropped calls for absolutely no reason).

I had pretty much given up, and then bought this phone. It has:

* crystal clear sound * useful display, including call-timer * good keypad layout (although I see other reviewers complaining about accidentally hanging up, but this hasn't happen to me in my first month of using it) * nice ring, handy since I leave it out in the backyard while gardening * allows you to start dialing and queues up the digits until it has contacted the base and gotten a dial tone.

I have this phone. It's great except one MAJOR problem. I like to hold the phone on my shoulder and walk around. I hang up on people sometimes three or four times a call. If you're a shoulder holder, don't buy this phone!

Just bought this to replace old Sony. Great quality and usability. The big flash button up top is great. Buttons are backlit and precise; make for easy dialing. Sound quality is excellent. Handset is a little big and hard to get your hand arouns, but a great phone.

I looked at alot of phones before I bought this one. This is a great phone! Excellent clarity. Great range. Nice features. Fits nicely to your ear. Is not to big or too small. The only complaint I have is, it is too easy to accidentally hang up on your caller. This is because the buttons are too close to your face when you hold the phone with your shoulder. Other than that, I highly recommend this phone.
