The Uniden EXS9966 two-line cordless phone helps organize your busy family or home office. It supports two lines, three- and four-way conference calling, and caller ID with call waiting--all in an easy-to-operate unit.
Before testing the Uniden EXS9966, we charged it for the recommended 15 to 20 hours, which is longer than most rechargeable batteries require. A spare handset battery (not included) can be charged in the base. A laminated quick guide is included for convenient reference to basic phone operations.
In our tests of the Uniden EXS9966, we were able to take the phone outside over 700 feet from the base before detecting any voice breakup. Although the range was impressive, we did notice a slight background humming even at close range, but it wasn't excessively distracting. We were able to take the phone behind walls and near electronic equipment without losing signal strength.
With the additional keypad on the base, the handset and the base can be used at the same time on separate lines. If the handset is already in use on one line, you can use the base station to make or receive calls on the other line. Indicators let you know which line is in use. The controls that operate these features are intuitive. The sturdy handset has a lighted keypad and LCD. The conference and intercom buttons allow you to add a third or fourth party to a conversation. To add a party to line one, press the hold button, press the line two button, and dial the number of the person you want to include. To bring the first person back into the conversation, press the conference button. A fourth person, at either the handset or base, can also join your conversation.
You can store up to 40 speed-dial numbers in memory. We were easily able to store a number using the LCD and arrow keys on the handset. To dial a stored number, we pressed the memory button, found the number on the LCD, and selected a line. The handset's LCD also provides caller ID information, if you subscribe to caller ID or caller ID with call waiting. You can position the handset faceup on the base for convenient caller identification on both lines. The EXS9966 also has a generous 80-number caller ID log. --Emily Bakko

Great Phone-Great Price,
By A Customer

This review is from: Uniden EXS9966 900-MHz DSS 2-Line Cordless Phone with Caller ID (Office Product)
The Uniden EXS 9966 is a great phone at a great price. Before I purchased it, I read the reviews from other customers. They were quite helpful in my decision-making process as most everyone thought it was a good phone. In one review, the reviewer identified as "An electronics fan from Mercer Island, Washington" wrote, "The only bad thing is, when you receive a phone call on this phone, another phone cannot be used to answer (e.g. call is for somebody in another part of the home). Likewise, when another phone is used to answer a call, this phone cannot be used to pick up." This statement turns out to be false. I have used this phone extensively transferring from one phone to another without a problem. A couple things are different from the Uniden 900MHz digital phone it was replacing. First, when a line is in use and you press the line button (Line 1 or Line 2), if the line is already in use, you hear three beeps and the LCD display indicates the line is already in use. All you have to do is press the line button again and you will join the conversation that is already in progress on that line. (This would apply to a conversation in progress or for transferring a call from one phone to another.) Second, if you are on one line and wish to transfer to the other line, you would think you would need to press the Hold button, then the other line button. With this phone, if you forget to press the Hold button before changing lines, it places the line on hold automatically. This is a nice touch so that you do not inadvertently disconnect the first call when attempting to answer a second call. All in all, I would recommend the purchase of this phone.One last thing-Amazon.com had the best price I could find by about $40. I don't know how they could be that much below other vendors (both Web and local brick and mortar) but they are. And, as you know, the service here is GREAT!

Best 2 line cordless phone I've found,
By mister_t42 (Andover, MA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Uniden EXS9966 900-MHz DSS 2-Line Cordless Phone with Caller ID (Office Product)
After having used six different cordless 2 line phones, I finally found one that deserves a top rating. Excellent sound clarity, useful features, and none of the classic cordless annoyances that typically bug you.Buy an extra battery and you can uyse this phone in a power outage, as the base will run off the spare battery. With a keypad and speaker phone on the base, you can even operate when you've left the handset in the other room. The handset includes all the top end features that I would want: caller id, caller-id with call waiting, speed dialing, redial (yep, some cordless phone forget that feature), and conmference calling where you can connect line 1 and line 2 together in a single call. A very nice feature is that the caller-id lists are kept seperately, one for line 1 and another for line 2. In my household my wife gets calls on line 1 and I get calls on line 2; this way I do not have to scroll through her calls to see who called me. Finally, a word on clarity. No drops outs, only very occasional interference from other devices (my only problem is when I put the phone down on top of the laptop computer it makes the laptop hum!), and very long range, clear connections (well beyond 500 feet). If you want a full feature 2 line cordless phone, this is it. If you don't need all the feartures, then find one with a smaller base unit, as this one is pretty big. Me, I'm more than satisfied. Oh yeah, you can order a spare battery at the uniden web site for $6!

great phone,
By A Customer
This review is from: Uniden EXS9966 900-MHz DSS 2-Line Cordless Phone with Caller ID (Office Product)
This phone works really well - I have had no problems. One of the reviews above states that the phone cannot be used to answer calls picked up 1st by another phone or vice versa. This is not true. Hold the button a little longer to answer on a "line in use". Just a feature to keep you from jumping in on someone accidentally.Have no fear - buy it.
