4.0 out of 5 stars Good phone with some niggles, June 29, 2006

This review is from: Uniden TRU9460 5.8 GHz Expandable Compact Cordless Telephone with Call Waiting and Caller ID (Office Product)

As far as I can tell, this is just a cosmetic change from the previous range of 5.8Ghz phones from Uniden - I already have that with the answerphone integrated and it was the reason for my purchase. In hindsight, I wish I had purchased the more expensive unit with integrated answering machine and speakerphone on the base unit as well (see "Bad" below).

Good:

1. Speakerphone function of the handset is excellent. The voice quality is great. This is one of the main reasons for buying this phone.

2. It's a 5.8Ghz spectrum phone, which means it doesn't clash with my wireless network like 2.4Ghz does.

3. It looks good.

Bad:

1. This is why it only gets four stars: When it is docked in the charging cradle you can't use it. This is extremely irritating especially if I use the handset heavily and deplete the battery. I have to plan when to cradle the phone in order to make sure it keeps an adequate charge. This might not be a problem if you keep the phone base nearby, but mine is in an attic office with my VOIP box and Internet connection.

2. Doesn't work very well with a headset. This seems to be a common problem with wireless phone handsets - when you plug a headset in people can barely hear you. I had to purchase a Plantronics headset with an amplified microphone in order to get a working solution.

Update: I purchased an additional handset for the phone - model number TCX905. My major niggle is now moot, as I can charge one handset while the other is in use. An additional bonus is that the handset can also be registered with the other line in the house if I need to use it with that phone. It's an older Uniden phone but I'm still able to use the newer handset with it. All in all I would recommend Undiden to anybody looking for an attractive handset, good feature set and good sound quality.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Solid Phone with a lot of features, June 18, 2006

By 

Dahda (New York) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Uniden TRU9460 5.8 GHz Expandable Compact Cordless Telephone with Call Waiting and Caller ID (Office Product)

This phone is very solid and has a lot of useful features. I have owned it for a couple of days. Here is what I think:

[PRO]

> It has a 3-bar battery indicator, so I can see when the battery is full, medium, low and when it is time to recharge.

> It has an orange flashing light on top of the phone that flashes when there is a message in the voicemail; very convenience.

> It has a speakerphone

> There is an one-touch programmable voice mail access button

> You can save 100 (two number each) contacts in the phone book

> The LCD contrast (adjustable) is great, very easy to see during the night and day.

> The battery lasts for 5 hours conversation and 7 days standby.

> It has a nice aesthetical and ergonomically design

> Also it has, two-way communication with other handsets, and room monitor and it shows the last three numbers dialed.

[CONS]

The only complain I have is regarding the Caller ID. It only shows the number of the person calling and the phone does not associate those numbers with your phone book. So if in your phone book you have Dan Tel. [phone], when Dan calls you all you can see is only his telephone number 212-555-5555 and not the name of the person. This is very, very annoying. This is the reason why 4 stars only.

I can live with that because people normally call me to my cell phone. But if you mainly use your landmine phone, this could be something to keep in mind when purchasing this phone.

Good Luck!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Phone, January 2, 2007

If you need the security of a 5.8 DSS phone that's simple with great quality, this is it. Great sound; no weird muting like another brand I had, I can always hear the other person. The handset speaker phone feature is really convenient. A prior reviewer mentioned the Caller ID name is not displayed, but if you subscribe to an ID service with name display, Caller ID Deluxe here, the name is displayed on all inbound calls when available. A lot of nice features in a small package. Very happy!!
