Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

A 900 MHz analog cordless phone from Uniden, the EXAI 978 comes with a number of useful features, including caller ID with call waiting compatibility and an integrated digital answering system. An autoscan features automatically detects the channel with the least interference, while handset and ringer volume controls allow you to easily adjust the phone's settings to your liking.

The digital answering system provides up to 13 minutes of recording time and features full remote operation, allowing you to check messages while away from home or from the office. The maximum message length can be set either to one or four minutes, and you can choose from prerecorded or personal outgoing messages. Voice prompts in Spanish, French, or English help guide you through setup, while play/stop, skip, delete, and repeat keys help you navigate through your messages. A memo record feature is provided, and a similar conversation record feature lets you record important conversations.

Wall-mountable, the EXAI 978 is also headset compatible and comes with a belt clip for hands-free operation. A page button on the base makes finding a lost handset quick and painless, while the menu-driven handset LCD makes operation easy. Caller ID/ call waiting compatible, the EXAI 978 can store up to 30 numbers in the caller ID memory, and the display and dial feature lets you easily scroll through the list of calls and then dial with the touch of a button.

Up to 10 memory locations are available for the most frequently dialed numbers, and a RocketDial feature allows you to dial the most important number simply by pressing the RocketDial button. An auto-talk function lets you answer calls simply by removing the phone from its cradle, while the flash/talk button lets you switch to an incoming call (requires subscription to a fee-based service) and put the current conversation on hold. A redial button lets you easily call the last outgoing number.

The phone supports both tone and pulse dialing modes. It is backed with a one-year warranty on both parts and labor.

2.0 out of 5 stars It's just OK, November 11, 2004
By Stephanie S. (Nottingham, MD United States) - See all my reviews
I was excited when I saw the price because I'd been looking for a cheap cordless that had an answering machine. I love the answering machine and the features that come with it. My problem is with the headset; it is very hard to hear the person on the other end. I have to have the volume all the way up, but then I have to talk softly because I'll hear myself YELLING and can BARELY hear the person on the other end. I have to be in a quiet room with no kids, TV or dogs to hear and use this phone, and most of the time, that just isn't possible.

3.0 out of 5 stars static noise, February 12, 2004
By A Customer
It's a good price for a cordless phone with answering machine. But I'm not satisfied with the purchase. I had a Vtech and a Panasonic before. Neither of them gave me the static noise as this one does. Actually there were no such noise at all with the other 2 phones. I tried different channels to avoid it but failed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to Handle, January 22, 2004
By A Customer
I just got this phone after having my Soutwestern go after four months!

So far, reception is clear, easy to read and touch buttons. I like the LCD display which lets you see what you dial, how long you have been talking, etc. A lot easier to erase messages and set-up the time, etc. Actually it walks you through it.

Once in a while I hear some static when I try to redial. Otherwise, I love it. And small enough to fit in tight spaces. However, I do not know how it installs on walls.Might be a little awkward.

The phone has too much static unless you're sitting right next to the console, in which case you might has well have a corded phone.
