I Purchased This System Because It Was Expandable(10 Handsets)And 5.8 GHZ, To Avoid Interferance With My Wireless Internet. What A Nice Suprise, Fantastic Sound, Every Handset Is A Speaker Phone, and So Many Features, I'm Still Learning. Room Monitor, All Handsets Can Join Conversations If Desired. Walkie Talkie Function, WOW!!!

This review is from: Uniden TRU9480-4 5.8GHz Cordless Telephones with 4 Handsets (Electronics)

I have two different models of this Uniden 5.8 GHz phone system.
One is this exact model, the 1-line version.
Another one I have is the 2-line version.
Both of these models use the same type of handsets.
And with handsets from both systems plus a single handset I purchased separately, I have a total of 7 handsets.
Three of the handsets have failed within 1 year.
The failure is what other people have complained about. The center selection button becomes unresponsive. When you push up/down, or left/right to select the menus or to view the caller ID log, nothing happens.
I've fixed this by taking the phone apart, finding where the pressure pads are under the button. I glued a small piece of aluminum foil on to where the pressure pad is. Aluminum foil is a good electrical conductor. It's a delicate process. I don't recommend doing this unless you know what you're doing. But if your handset is already dead/useless, give it a try. Put everything back together and the buttons work again.
Besides this annoying problem which requires me to take apart the phone to fix, the phone system works well. Speakerphone is nice and loud. The handsets are a good size and fit nicely in my hand. The screen is bright.
If I didn't know how to fix the handset/button problem and I had to buy replacement handsets for $40 a pop, I'd be really peeved.

3.0 out of 5 stars Keypad does not work after 1 year, February 27, 2009

I purchased this to replace my 2.4GHz Panasonic phone. The phone is a TRU9480-2 model.

The phone worked beautifully for the first year and then two problems developed.

1. The center round key in one of the handsets which allows to choose the phonebook, call logs and also to set the volume up and down has stopped working. When I contacted Uniden they said there is no fix for that and I need to buy a replacement handset (the cost of which is $40).

2. This is kind of strange issue. I have no problem with most callers. However with a small set of callers I have a lot of static issues and also issues with dropped calls (they cannot hear what I am saying and vice versa). This irritates me most as the set of callers this happens with are the ones I speak to often!!!


Besides the above two, I think the phone has excellent sound quality, good range and the speakers on base and handset are good and loud.
