Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Uniden TRU-446 offers a low price and high-tech transmission for quality sound. Its 2.4 GHz digital spread spectrum technology operates digitally on multiple frequencies to extend range. The 2.4 GHz signals are also higher than those of 900 MHz phones, usually resulting in reduced interference and increased clarity and security. Plus, you can expand your phone with an optional extra handset, and you can transfer calls from one handset to the other.

Additional features include caller ID/call waiting (with a telephone company service subscription), 100 dynamic CID/memory locations, phone book memory, and one touch RocketDial speed dialing. Trilingual caller ID menus display information in English, French, or Spanish. Enjoy the convenience of a headset jack, four melody and six ring tones, handset status LED, last-three-number redial, any key answer, and voicemail waiting indicator.

The quality NiMH battery's life is an ample 10 days' standby and six hours' talk. The phone comes with a one-year warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best 2.4GHz Phone So Far!, August 24, 2002

My Siemens 2410 phone started to act flaky after about 1.5yrs, so I went shopping for a new phone. One feature I hated about the Siemens was the button "feel" - one had to press a couple of times for the number to register and it became annoying when trying to dial in a hurry. The range was also suspect, especially prominent when 50ft+ away from the base. I went to some local electronics store and saw the Uniden TRU 446-series.

My main concerns were voice clarity and range. The Siemens phone frequently exhibited a "muffled" sounding voice according to the party calling me. The Uniden was superior in this respect - callers were surprised when I told them I was talking to them on a cordless phone. The voice clarity is *that* good. Range was also much, much better. I can now frequently go 50ft+ without any signal degradation and I have a lot of potentially disruptive devices in the signal path, i.e. microwave, computer, etc. The buttons were also great - it has a nice tactile feel as opposed to the mushy feel of the Siemens. The phone is also light and the slight curvature of the handset shows the designers were concerned about the phone's ergonomics.

I can't recommend this phone highly enough - Amazon also has the best price in the market currently, and no sales tax & free shipping as well!

This review is from: Uniden TRU-446 2.4 GHz DSS Cordless Phone with Caller ID (Graphite) (Office Product)

I replaced my panasonic with this uniden because the panasonic was acting up ,it was a 900 mhz digital spread and the uniden is a digital spread also but it operates at the better high 2.4 ghz. so it should have an increased range but it starts to break up at the same distance the panasonic did, perhaps this is because the companies are advertising the frequency they use but not the power output leaving us still somewhat in the dark. I must admit though that the panasonic had a much better range than I thought it would in wich case the uniden seems to have an ok range and this uniden has a lot of features for a phone in this price range including ni-hm batteries that have no memory so you don't have to tell people not to put the phone back in the charger if it doesn't need charging yet,that's a good selling point to me and I would have bought it sooner if they advertised the battery type a little better. And the ni-hms last a long time. So despite the slight if any increase in range over my panasonic the uniden has to many other thing going for it at that price so I have to give it a good raiting.

Uniden has a winner in this model of TRU446 phone. Clear as a bell on incoming or outgoing audio... I'm getting over a 2000 foot range from my house. My friend purchased a panasonic at over 230.00 and this TRu446 out performs it in every way!!! I highly recommend this phone for price and quality. IS OUTSTANDING!!!! ...Received phone in two days shipped standard ups from vendor...
