Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

You can simplify and take control of your telephone life with the Uniden TRU346. Identify callers with the 50-name/number caller ID history (requires subscription through your local carrier), and program your most frequently dialed calls using the 20-number speed-dial memory. You decide whether to interrupt your work to speak to an incoming caller, whose information is displayed on the large, lighted LCD. Plus, Uniden's digital sound quality and operation on the 2.4 GHz band ensure clearer connections.

Return calls shown on the caller ID display at the touch of a button. The illuminated keypad makes dialing easy, even in the dark. Take advantage of the handset controls: memory, flash, redial, volume, delete, and channel selector. The adjustable ringer lets you control volume and type of rings. Lighted indicators keep you apprised of an extension in use, voice mail waiting for you, and when you have moved out of range. The Uniden TRU346 is headset compatible for totally hands-free conversations, giving you the liberty to multitask from further afield. Uniden offers a 90-day warranty.

4.0 out of 5 stars Uniden quality, but not for everyone, November 17, 2001

This review is from: Uniden TRU346 2.4 GHz DSS Cordless Phone with Caller ID (Titanium) (Office Product)

The TRU346 is an excellent phone in most respects...the best of all DSS phones I've tested. The range is excellent and it's futuristically attractive, but the bottom line of any phone is its ability to provide loud & clear send/receive voice quality, and unfortunately, this is where the 346 fell a bit short for me. The maximum earpiece volume isn't quite loud enough and everyone I called with it said my voice sounded good but "far away" even though my mouth was directly in front of the mic. Thinking it may be an isolated problem, I got another 346 but experienced the same thing.

The other problem I had with this phone is its width and the rubber grips on each side. I have relatively small hands and during lengthy conversations, the comfort level would quickly diminish because the handset is just a little too wide for me. The bottom is squarely cut off and became annoying when resting in the palm of my hand. The rubber grips are a good idea in theory, but to me, they make the phone feel "sticky", especially in humid conditions when my hands weren't perfectly dry. It's just a sensation I didn't like overall.

The 346 has excellent range, CID, lighted keypad, nice design, etc but I want the best and clearest sound possible for both myself and those I'm calling, as well as comfort for lengthy conversations, and it just fell a bit short in these areas. I realize the 346 is a big seller at Amazon.com, but it won't be the perfect phone for everyone.

This review is from: Uniden TRU346 2.4 GHz DSS Cordless Phone with Caller ID (Titanium) (Office Product)

With this phone Uniden has eliminated an annoying design issue with previous models where it was very easy to brush the Talk button with your cheek and hang up on the person you were talking to. Now the button is recessed. Sound quality is very clear, and range is good - you can walk out of your house and a block away and only have minor static interruptions. In your house you may as well be talking on a corded phone, there is no difference in sound quality. The display and memory/speed-dial functions are a bit weak compared to what you see on cell phones today, but they compete with other cordless phones. This isn't very important to me, since I store numbers on my cell phone and not my home phones, but if it is extremely important to you you might want to look at other phones. All in all I think this phone is an excellent value, and Uniden phones in general are good quality.

This review is from: Uniden TRU346 2.4 GHz DSS Cordless Phone with Caller ID (Titanium) (Office Product)

After accidentaly incapacitating my old uniden 900mhz model, i decided my next cordless would be a 2.4ghz model, with caller id. Happy with my previous experience with Uniden Phones, I purchased the TRU 346. Its an all around great phone. I decided to test its "extended range" and indeed it is far; I successfuly used the phone around the block from my house. The clarity is great; Digital Spread Spectrum virtually eliminates static.

Its an all around good phone.
