Dad hard of hearing
I bought this phone hoping my father who uses a hearing aid could hear with the phone. He could not use most phones even with his hearing aid. Some sounded garbled. He can use this one without his hearing aid. Thanks Uniden.
Good phone, but needs a few improvements
I agree with the other reviewers that this phone has good range, excellent sound quality, good speakerphone quality, and a robust feature set. So I won't restate those here. There are a couple areas that I think could be improved, though. First, the caller ID display doesn't reference your stored number list. Because it displays "caller ID deluxe" information, you will usually get the name of the person in addition to the phone number, but in some instances, you get something generic like "Wireless caller" instead of a useful name. This is minor, but I would like the option to display what's in my phonebook instead of the name sent via caller ID. Perhaps there is a setting in there somewhere, but I haven't found it yet. Second, headsets don't work well with this phone. I've tried 3 different sets, and none of them have enough microphone gain - so it sounds like you're in a hole. Given that all of these headsets work great with multiple cell phones, I suspect that Uniden is trying to get you to buy their headset only. That's really disappointing. Headsets are cheap, but I hate to buy another one just for these phones. Finally, the base ringer has three volume settings: really loud, loud, and off. The handset ringers are more balanced: loud, soft, off. Since we have a baby, this adjustment is important. Finally, Uniden has created a new line of 5.8GHz Digital phones that have more features and cost about the same. You should definitely look into those before buying this phone.
