Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Uniden TRU8860-2 cordless phone system offers an attractive bundle of features, with room to grow. With 5.8 GHz digital signal transmission for increased call clarity and security, it also stores up to 100 calls in its caller ID log, includes handset speakerphone and conferencing capabilities, and can be expanded to 10 handsets (model TCX800).

The caller ID log shares space with a programmable memory and is accessed via the handset's three-line backlit LCD. It also features a thoughtful alphabetical search option (just like a cell phone), so you don't have to scroll from A-Z, and you can transfer stored numbers from one handset to another.

Additional features include call transfer between handsets, distinctive ring tones, household intercom, and even remote room monitoring (baby monitor). The TRU8860-2 requires just one phone jack, no matter how many handsets you add. Simply plug the base unit into a phone jack, and the additional handsets will configure themselves to "talk" directly with the base unit.

What's in the Box
TRU8860-2 (base unit and handset plus additional handset and charging cradle), one phone line cord, two AC power adapters, two NiMH battery packs and covers, two belt clips, user guide, warranty information

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best phones I've found, September 23, 2004

This review is from: Uniden TRU8860-2 5.8 GHz Digital Cordless Phone with Dual Handsets and Caller ID (Black/Silver) (Office Product)
I've looked at a lot of phones and selected the "Uniden TRU8860-2 5.8 GHz Digital Cordless Phone with Dual Handsets". I was looking for and found in the TRU8860:

- Well built phone, not cheap or flimsy
- Smaller size phone fits well in my hand and comfortable when talking. Other phones were just too big or too small
- Very good sound quality
- Excellent handset speaker phone. So good, I decided not to get the base (which was only $5 more) since it took up more room on my desk and provided no real value.
- Large easy to read screen with name, phone, time
- Well laid out and organized features.
- Dual 5.8ghz transmission. May transmit on 2.4 ghz and sent on 5.8ghz causing interference with my wireless network

I purchased (and returned the VTech i5853 5.8 GHz) since the phone was large and clumsy for me.

The only negative I have for this phone is that the range isn't quite as good as the Vtech and another 900mhz phone I have. Those seem to extend about 10-15ft more in my house, which has lots of walls.

Overall, I highly recommend this phone.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very good phone., April 7, 2005

This review is from: Uniden TRU8860-2 5.8 GHz Digital Cordless Phone with Dual Handsets and Caller ID (Black/Silver) (Office Product)
Like most people, I have purchased an unreasonable number of sub-$50 phones over the last few years, and universally, they have turned out to be crap. I finally took the financial plunge and purchased the Uniden TRU8860-2 (which is actually two handsets) and have been very, very pleased. It is extremely easy to use, is a real digital phone (DSS), has a great range, is loaded with features (that are easy to access), does not conflict with my wireless network, has a good battery life and acceptable sound. I have some slight criticisms that should not discourage you from your purchase: I don't find the sound quality to be as clear as I would hope (this has a very faint hiss), but there is no denying that it is still FAR better than all other cordless models I've purchased. Also, I find the handsets a bit small for my taste (others will disagree, to be sure), but again, a small price to pay for finally getting a cordless phone that does everything it should do - every time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Finally, an excellent cordless phone, November 26, 2004
This review is from: Uniden TRU8860-2 5.8 GHz Digital Cordless Phone with Dual Handsets and Caller ID (Black/Silver) (Office Product)
I learned my lesson--don't buy a cheap telephone. This one, at just over $100 for 2 handsets, is a true winner. Voice quality is clear, even when using the speaker phone feature. The display is light and readable. The 5.8Ghz frequency ensures no interference with wireless computer networks (using 802.11b,g).

The only drawbacks, and they are very minor, include:

- Only 3 "dialed" numbers get stored, as opposed to almost 100 incoming numbers (via Caller ID).
- A more efficient arrangement of some of the buttons would make it easier to activate the speaker phone and the phonebook of stored numbers.

This sturdy phone is worth buying.
