Amazon.com Product Description

Keep in touch with friends and family with the Uniden DECT2085-2 Cordless Phone and Answering System. Packed with advanced features, this easy-to-use system offers a dual keypad and includes two extra handsets and chargers.

Interference Free Cordless Frequency
The DECT2085-2 utilizes DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) technology with a frequency range of 1.9 GHz, which means the phone won't interfere with your Wi-Fi networks. In addition, you'll enjoy maximum voice security and the clearest voice reception, so there's no struggling to hear or be heard while talking on the phone.

Digital Technology For Message Management
The DECT2085-2 includes a digital answering machine, so you'll never miss an important message. This system also uses microchip technology for clearer recordings and longer life. And you'll never have to worry about replacing broken moving parts!

User-Friendly Operation
Designed to be easy to use, the DECT2085-2 offers both English and Spanish language menu prompts, and a backlit keypad for entering phone numbers or accessing features in any light setting. A large, easy-to-read LCD screen displays the date, time, extension, and other data and is also compatible with the caller-ID and call-waiting display. The DECT2085-2 even offers 70 phone book locations and 30-number Caller ID history, so it's a snap to keep track of your most frequently dialed numbers. And with its three-party conferencing capability, you can talk to multiple family members at one time, or join in on office meetings on those days when you're working from home.

Call Waiting/Caller ID Special Features
Managing your calls can sometimes be difficult, especially when you receive one call while you're still dealing with another. The DECT2085-2 helps keep things simple by displaying the name and number of the caller in call waiting even while you're on the phone (note: to activate the caller ID feature, you must first subscribe through your telephone company). You can also use the base as a speaker phone, transfer calls between handsets, and intercom between the handsets and the base for easy conferencing. Finally, personalized ringers let you know who's calling before you pick up the phone. Should your family grow, this system easily expands to up to six handsets.

About DECT Technology
Advanced DECT 6.0 technology, or Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications, operates on the newly released 1.9 GHz frequency band that was recently allocated to support cordless telephony. Uniden DECT 6.0 incorporates unique "listen before transmit" technology that avoids interference with many household products, such as baby monitors, microwaves and WiFi (which operate on frequencies like 2.4 GHz). As a result, DECT phones offer consumers enhanced voice clarity and crystal clear digital sound quality. DECT 6.0 technology also offers higher security and voice protection, as well as a longer battery and battery standby life than existing 2.4 GHZ or 5.8 GHz phones.

The DECT2085-2 is backed by a one-year limited warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything my old cordless system wasn't..., December 12, 2008

By	Mark J. Otoole - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've had 2 good Unidens in the past, I was never too thrilled with my current 2.4GHz VTech system, and I have TWO different friends with 5.8GHz Panasonic's that they are ready to use for shooting practice...
I was therefore very careful in my new purchase and I've tested every aspect of this system in the last 2 weeks - it passes with flying colors!

- Most importantly, this 1.9GHz system imparts no interference to my wireless router, parked just 3 feet away... and while it doesn't penetrate a metal garage door if you're standing right behind it, I can walk out the front door and talk clearly until I'm halfway past my THIRD neighbor's house.

- These NiMH batteries have given me 4 days off the charger WITH 4 hours of talktime, and the charging seems to be 'smart' because they never get very warm, and get cool when fully charged. Oh, and the the handsets have actual battery gauges instead of just beeps to tell you you're about to lose the call...

- The speakerphones are quite good in both the handsets and the base-station, and when you've left the handset in another room you'll wonder how you ever lived without Caller ID and dialing on the base.

- All the various volumes and ringers are adequately loud and I find most all the controls and menu functions intuitive. The single exception is the 'hold' function, which ought to be a single key-press, but requires pushing Intercom, then Select and then Hang-up to stop everything from ringing... I also love (maybe common nowadays) the answering machine message indicators on the handsets and the ability to both retrieve messages from the handsets and also to monitor an incoming message.

As you can tell, I'm VERY happy with my new system, and I hope it lasts a long time (like my previous Unidens...)

5.0 out of 5 stars We like it!, April 8, 2009

By	J. Long (New Hampshire) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We bought this one month ago. This is a great machine chocked full of features. It is easy to use, good sound quality, great value. The only thing we wish it had was a memo feature so we can leave messages ourselves. We are very happy with it otherwise.
