Product Description

Product Description

The DECT1560 cordless phone by Uniden is packed with time-saving features that help you better manage your calls. It features a large display screen and orange backlit keys which make it a snap to dial the correct number or access features, even in low-light conditions. The phonebook feature stores up to 70 names with an alphabetical search, unique ringers you can assign to specific calling parties and an option to transfer either a single listing or the entire phonebook. The bilingual menus in both English and Spanish guide you through every step so you can take full advantage of the 10 full hours of talk time per battery charge. 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Good, Cheap Cordless Phone, July 13, 2009

By	Leon W. Blocker "Hoss" (Muscatine, Iowa United States) - See all my reviews

This is hardly a useless phone.

Let's get personal bias out of the way right now - it's impossible for me to be down on any phone that features the Star Spangled Banner as a ringtone, ok? ;-)

Ok, this is still a good, cheap phone. You are not going to get a world's worth of features for $25, but this phone does pack a lot into the offer :

* a 70-entry phonebook
* a voice-mail light (if you have such service)
* 30-entry caller ID log
* T-coil friendly (if you have such a hearing aid)
* easy set-up
* great sound quality
* speakerphone

All of which you will probably find in most other cordless phones, but probably in handsets costing a lot more and they probably won't be DECT 6.0 either. Is this handset going to cure cancer? Heavens, no. But for a basic DECT 6.0 cordless phone, this is an unbeatable deal. The bottom line is this phone is a good value, and a good deal - so long as you don't want to use a headphone.

3.0 out of 5 stars Adequate Phone, November 9, 2009

By	D. Levine "lawyerlevine" (Cincinnati, OH USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Bought this to replace an old cordless that broke. Nothing special - just looking for a reliable cordless phone that works and has decent sound quality. Sound quality is not great, not terrible. It has a bit of an echo when you talk. But still quite adequate for normal usage. At this price, its hard to complain. Feels solid in my hands, and the speaker phone works well.

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible!!, September 23, 2009

Setup was easy but it is not the worth even a $1 for the quality they offer. I am not sure whether it is just this piece or this model. But we were unhappy.
