Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

A 2.4 GHz digital phone from Uniden, the DCT 646 is multi-user expandable and comes with a number of useful features, including a second handset and extra charging cradle. Sleek and stylish, it supports up to two optional handsets (model DCX640, total of four). The phone utilizes the 2.4 GHz frequency and digital technology for clearer, more intelligible reception than traditional 900 MHz phones. An autoscan features automatically detects the best channel available.

Caller ID/call waiting compatible, the DCT 646 has 100 programmable caller ID memory locations. A memory location transfer feature lets uses synchronize the memory locations of their handsets. An auto-talk function allows you to answer calls simply by removing the phone from its cradle, while the display-and-dial feature lets you easily scroll through the list of calls and dial with the touch of a button. A voicemail indicator lets you know when you have received messages.

Twenty different distinctive ring options are provided, while handset and ringer volume controls allow you to easily adjust the phone's settings to your liking. A page button on the base makes finding a lost handset quick and painless, and the menu-driven handset LCD makes operation easy. Three-way conferencing is available between two handsets and an outside call, while the call transfer feature lets you route incoming calls to a different handset. A redial button lets you easily dial one of the last three outgoing numbers.

Both tone and pulse dialing modes are provided in case you need to switch to one or the other. Wall-mountable, the DCT 646 is headset compatible and comes with a belt clip for hands-free operation. It also comes backed with a one-year warranty on both parts and labor.

5.0 out of 5 stars great phone system, April 24, 2004

This review is from: Uniden DCT 646-2 2.4 GHz Expandable Cordless Phone with Dual Handsets and Caller ID (Office Product)

My greatest concern when buying this phone was the clarity of voice. I was not disappointed. Voices seem clear and natural and loud enough to present no problems whatsoever. There is no static on either the main phone or handset number 2.

I was delighted to find that after hammering in some twenty names and phone numbers into the main phone that all this data, as well as the time/date, transferred easily into handset number two.

The 20 ring choices give plenty of interesting rings and music from which to select.

The phone is small and light, much like a cell phone, which makes it easy to hold for long calls.

The display and keypad light up with a very bright orange illumination which makes calling and moving about within the menu quite a breeze.

So I don't sound like a shill, I have tried to find something about the phone I do not like, but so far I have not come up with anything.

I highly recommend this system, and the Amazon price is about the lowest I've seen. Worth every dollar.

Now that I have experimented with the phone for several days, I like it even more. I can walk a block away from my house and still maintain a clear contact with my party.

I have added new names and phone numbers to the phonebook and can easily send these changes to the second handset. Initially I sent all the numbers and names to the second handset. What a time saver!!

The speaker phone works fine, though I rarely use this feature. Voices come across loud and clear but a bit hollow, but I have found this to be the case with most speaker phones.

There are many features I shall probably never use--such as the walkie-talkie option, voice mail, etc.

Still not a dribble of static.

This is one hell of a great phone system for the money. I shall now cast my two Panasonic phones (with a mere 10 memory phone book) into the outer darkness.

This review is from: Uniden DCT 646-2 2.4 GHz Expandable Cordless Phone with Dual Handsets and Caller ID (Office Product)

Wow- I LOVE this phone!

This is by far the best phone I have ever had. I have had Panasonic and V-Tec digital cordless models before- each had problems.

With the V-Tec digital cordless phone- the sound was so low that I had trouble hearing people on the other end -- even with the volume turned up to the very loudest!

This Uniden is, in my opinion, the absolute best digital cordless phone out there.

It is crystal clear- and the volume is plenty loud enough.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Cordless Phone System That Actually Works!!, April 13, 2004

This review is from: Uniden DCT 646-2 2.4 GHz Expandable Cordless Phone with Dual Handsets and Caller ID (Office Product)

We have gone through many cordless phones in our house, and each one has had its own weaknesses. We have owned this system (base unit plus four phones) for a couple of weeks now and I have not heard any static or noise at all. Everything is very clear.

The system has some very useful functions. For example, you can take two of the phones to the mall or amusement park and use them like walkie-talkies. You can also page between handsets if you want to talk to someone in the other room. I used this the other day when I got out of the shower and I need my wife to bring me a towel from the laundry room! I didn't think I would use that feature, but it came in handy!

My wife complained just a little that the handsets are very small. She likes to hold the handset on her shoulder to keep both hands free. I explained that she could use a headset if she really wants to, but she thinks that would be too complicated.

Anyway, this system works very well and is the first cordless phone system we've owned without any problems.
