I bought this telephone 4 years ago and am absolutely satisfied. It has been easy to use and the quality of sound is very good. There are more features than I will ever use and I have not had a problem with any of them.
I confirmed with UNIDEN support that this is the case. WARNING. You cannot use the corded telephone with a headset. Overall the telephone is okay, but not being able to use it with a headset renders it useless for me. I wish I had purchased a different telephone.
Since I work with telecommunications and are therefore familiar with what phones can do. Everything else I like about the phone, however I have audio issues on the wireless but it could be due to the logistics of my home. There is a feature on the phone that allows you to plug in the area code, of course it only allows for three digits intead of four.
Flaw #1: When an incoming call comes in, the area code shows up withOUT being proceeded by the "1". Flaw #3: The redial is limited to only three numbers, if this had been expanded, it could've circumvented flaw #2. Let me start off with saying what these phones can't do as oppossed to what they can do.
Flaw #2: The ability to have "silent" distinctive ringing per called id HOWEVER, some calls you don't even want to know are incoming, in that event, it would be helpful to have "silent ring" for those type of calls. I.e. 212-555-1111, (instead of 1-212-555-1111) so when you in turn try to either save or dial the number, it will never work because the number 1 is now required in most areas.
Because when numbers are dialed, they have the correct order so the numbers can saved that way. Finally, the only reason I bought the phone cause of the landline component and I can take the extension upstairs.
Though we have never used a 2.4 Ghz phone system this 5.8 Ghz is unbelievably strong and clear.The only draw back is that the main station can not be atached/hung on the wall but rather used only on a desk/table. I'd have to say they are right on the money in explaining what to expect. My descision of purchasing the Uniden TRU8888 was based on the user reviews I read. The volume of the ringer on the main base should have a MEDIUM choice rather than just Low and High.The cordless phone works just as great and the fact one can add as many as 10 cordless phones into this system is amazing.I would highly recommend the phone system. My family has used the phone for approximately 1 month and we think it is great. The clarity and reception is the best I have ever had in a phone. I found it well built, reception strong and clarity of voice so very clear.
I have had many cordless phones but this is one of the best phones I have ever owned. The only problem I have with this phone is that it only saves three numbers to redial and there is no option to change how muber should redialed. This is the only reason I gave a three stars. Everything else about this phone is excellent.
