My favorite phone.......2007-12-13
I've had this for couple of years now and probably the best phone overall that I've owned. It has wealth of features, easy to configure and operate. Small size makes it pocketable, battery lasts forever, the range is good, and sound is good with no noticeable noise. I have had no conflicts with wireless networks.
Survived dishwasher!!!.......2007-11-27
It took months for me to figure out where to position the base so that the handsets wouldn't conflict with my wireless internet. Once I figured that out, this phone system has worked great.
I especially like the intercom feature. Now I can call my kids from any room of the house.
But most astonishing is that we actually had a handset survive a dishwasher cycle. I opened my dishwasher last week to empty the clean dishes, and found a handset on the top rack, dripping... I just knew it was toast, although when I pushed the buttons it seemed to try to work.
I quickly took the battery out and placed it and the phone (open battery compartment) into the dehydrator for 24 hours. It worked as it always had! Amazing.
I'll bet my cell phone couldn't do that.
Great phone.......2007-11-19
This phone system is great.
I just bought my 2nd set, so the house has six phones now :)
I bought my first set about two years ago with no problems.
The only drawback on these phones, there is no Mute button.
But, the phone does have mute...you just have to hit the menu button, then select mute on the menu, so you get mute with two key strokes.
I still recomend this phone system.
Nice!.......2007-10-15
This set works nicely, especially if you don't have phone jacks everywhere you want to put a phone.
I love'em.......2007-10-13
My second set since my baby trow the first one in the pool, not water resistance I guess?. I love all the features no regrests the best phone set i ever owned.

Very disappointed.......2007-12-15
I've had these phones for about 6 months now and from day 1 the reception and interference has been horrible. The seller kindly exchanged the phones for me and I still have the same problem. Confusing, especially when the microwave is on. I realize some phones would have interference with a microwave, but from everything I read this particular model hadn't given anyone any problems in relation to this. Also, the buttons on all the phones aren't working anymore, specifically the the talk button and the center menu "key" buttons. I calle Uniden and I can have each phone fixed for $60.00 a piece. No thanks! Time to look for some new phones.
Very Happy.......2007-12-14
I have searched and compared price vs Quality. Well in this item you will get both. This is a great unit that requires no addition phone jacks. It also has a very good range. I have a 3300 sq foot home, with 3 levels and there is no place in the house that this phone does not work. The main phone is located in a small office room in the back of the house and surrounded by cement block, one upstairs, one in the garage and one in the main dinning room and still the clarity is perfect. I even took it outside and I was amazed at the range of this phone. It is small in size but I consider that a plus. It fits comfortably in your hand and its functions are a breeze to use. All in all this is a great buy. You will not be disappointed. Oh, yea, do not try to make an eight system set up.
Very small handsets.......2007-10-22
I was very surprised at how small the handsets are. They are difficult to hold on to and if you need to rest them on your shoulder while doing something it's nearly impossible. In my opinion a phone that's used at home doesn't need to be as small as a cell phone.
Also after going through the owners manual 3 times I don't see where you can turn down the ringer volume other than from high to low. I'm also having problems getting the caller ID light function to work. It worked fine on the Uniden phone that I'm replacing with these. I can't get through to Uniden at all! I have tried calling 3 times and get nothing but recordings. Also one of the handsets in the 4 phone set isn't functioning, there is no dial tone.
Having said all that, there are some features that I do like about these phones. You can program one phone and then transfer all the numbers to the other handsets without having to program each set. I also like the speaker phone function.
This is the 4th Uniden phone I have purchased over the past 17 years and have never had a problem with any of them.
Good Price, moderate reception quality.......2007-10-18
This is a product with good design and features, but the quality of the reception is not as high as I had expected compared to other models. The four unit set and compact design without an answering machine were the reason for purchasing this unit and has satisfied this need adequately.
Uniden DCT756-4 - excellent phones.......2007-09-26
Phones were easy to install and program. Very effective operation - even at 100 feet from the base unit. A good buy!

Best phone the money can buy.......2007-08-16
This is the best phone with excellent features like DND, 10 numbers speed dialing, 100 numbers memory, programmed nos. can be transferred to hand sets by click of a button, the hand sets automatically goes off when you put it on the base etc. etc.. The programming is very easy and logical. The message recording system has excellent features. I have tried several phones but this particular model is the "Cream of the Crop."
Much better than expected.......2007-08-11
The Intelli-sound function on speakerphone works as well as systems costing three times this price. I wanted a corded handset on the base unit for power outage (e.g. storms). I have had about five units from various manufacturers, and this is the one I am most happy with. It is dated in design for 2007...but function is greater than form here.
Excellent Solution.......2007-03-08
I replaced a Panasonic phone and various other phones in my house with just this one system. I purchased an additional handset and now I have one central solution. Reception is great and the quality is first rate. I was hesitant to purchase a 2.5 GHz system for fear of it interfering with my home wi-fi set up, but I have had no issues at all. Overall I'm pretty satisfied with this system.
Very nice little unit.......2007-01-21
I recently purchased this unit as our old answering machine died... I very much liked the fact in included a cordless handset as well as the main unit. Nice features: If you have children, it has a DND (do not disturb)button when it engage it, it shuts off the ringers for all the handsets whereever they are... this is great when everyone is hunkered down for a nap... While it comes with one handset you can expand it to 4 total. You can also check your messages from a handset or remote location outside the home. It also has a very good speaker phone. I would give it 5 stars except it would be nice if it had more than 12 minutes total recording time. Just FYI, you can get this at Staples for 69.00... While I love Amazon, this is way too pricy for this unit

Battery low indicator does not work........2007-08-19
I would have rated this a 4 until I realized that all three handsets have a flaw. None of the battery level indicators work. That is, they let you know when it's full after first charge but do not lower as the battery power goes down. Also, there is no indication at all prior to the phone going dead during a call. This is a problem on all three of my handsets so it's an issue with all of them or at least a batch. This is very disappointing to me. I'm debating on sending these back but that's such a hassle.. The only way to see the battery level is to unplug the battery and plug it back in. It will then give you and accurate battery level at that instant in time. If you buy these, plan on keeping the handsets on the base to make sure you are always at a good charge before making or taking a call.
almost 5 stars.......2007-02-26
I liked this phone alot.The only thing about it that I dislike is that you cannot program in a name so it comes up on caller id when it says cell phone or something like that.You can have a bunch of calls that have a number and says incoming call but you can not program a name to that number so it says the name instead.Other than that it has good sound you can store alot of numbers in the previous calls 100 I think and the price is right.....
Excellent phone........2006-11-15
I have been using this phone for some time now. The reception is great and there is no interference with other 2.4 GHz devices. Sound is excellent and adjustable volume and back light (orange) is additional plus. I love this phone (dual headset).
Great phones !.......2006-07-16
Excellent choice, I recomend this product. For home or small office. I have this product at home and the children use to play with them and they has chewn the antena, they throw it and they are still working since I bought them. The only thing is they should came along with a carrying case to protect them from scratches.
Excellent phone with lots of features.......2006-07-12
The clarity is impressive for a cordless. I also love that I can page to any other phone in our house. I also use the room monitor feature when babysitting my granddaughter. In addition, phone numbers can be stored like a cell phone. Excellent product.

Customer Reviews:
Absolutely first rate!!.......2007-10-18
I bought this as an addition to my Uniden 738-3T system as the fourth phone. The handsets are very nice quality and the only 2.4 Ghz units that I have run across that do not seem to suffer from interference problems with WiFi stuff and other phone. The sound quality is top notch and the speakerphone works very well. The features are outstanding and the only thing that is missing is a headphone jack. This unit also uses about 1/2 the electricity of the one it replaced. Maybe not that big a deal to most, but since it is plugged in 100% of the time, it probably save a few bucks in electricity per year.
Very light, simple.......2007-09-01
The design is very simple and the phone itself has pretty much everything you'd need in a basic cordless phone - speakerphone, caller ID, selection of ringtones, phonebook, voicemail box. It's very light and takes up very little room, and so far seems durable. I'd recommend this to just about anyone. It's a safe bet, and you'll get all the basic features you want.

Great Phone!.......2007-05-14
I really, really love this phone. Only concern is the clarity, but in all honesty, I'm pretty sure it's the fact that we have Vonage that is sound seems "far away." I would buy this phone again in a heartbeat!
good phone...if you're about 100 feet from the base (or not near a microwave).......2007-03-25
I bought this phone because i need my hands free as i roam around the building (small church). I did much research on the web and in consumer reports to find a good portable phone w/out an answering machine for a good price. Uniden is pretty good but it seems digital tech. in phones just isn't perfected yet...at least for the $30-40 shoppers. The clarity was ok, some people still told me that i sounded like i was in a closet when speaking to them....but i use an over-the-ear piece so that may be the problem...not the phone. One thing is clear though, it cut out when i went to our lower floor towards the two ends of the building. Major static and the phone couldn't connect even after trying the connection again. My old RadioShack 900 mhz worked fine, so i returned this, went back to Uniden products, bought a 900mhz from them, went downstairs with it, same problem. Looks like i'll be returning that too. Oh yeah, don't get a 2.4Ghz phones if you plan on talking while your microwave is going...it will most likely interfere with your 2.4 phone and the phone will only work if your about 50 or more feet from the microwave while it's operating. I'm back to my 900mhz. It may feel like a brick but it takes the calls...even outside in the parking lot! Sorry Uniden.
My new replacement.......2007-01-29
I bought this phone soley because it had the two main features that I wanted, Caller ID and a speaker in the base. I didn't realize till after I received it that also had a speaker in the handset which was a real added bonus. I recently spent two hours on the phone with technical assistance for a computer problem and the handset speaker allowed me to use the speaker phone while going to different parts of my home to obtain the information required by tech assistance. It works like a charm.

1+area code add in.......2007-07-24
For everyone who has this phone and was having trouble with adding the area code - I found the solution. When your looking at your caller id and it's a long distance number you can hit the # button to add the area code (if it isn't there already) and you can add the "1" before the area code and number by hitting *(tone) *woohoo* no more editing and redoing all the numbers before you add them to caller id!
this product is a winner!.......2007-04-10
this small size home phones works great, are good looking a has all the features you need, dont hesitate in purchasing. Not a good thing is the range!!
Very Disapointed!.......2007-03-19
We got this phone a couple of months ago and are still not able to use it at all. Originally, we could not hear anything from this phone at all. Now only faint voice can be heard, but the only end still has no sound at all.
I spend hours reading the manual, but still can not make it work for us. Maybe it is a malfunctioning one. I would definitly NOT buy any Uniden products in the future.
Does not stand the test of time.......2007-03-02
When we first received these phones they were pretty good - the range is short but we could deal with that. After a few weeks the sound quality started to really decline (echos, breaking up, and static.). After 8 months the caller ID does not function on one handset and the sound quality on the other handset is so bad as to make it unusable.
The small size at first was cute but after awhile is very annoying and uncomfortable. I just ordered a panasonic set and can't wait to trash this set. I have been a loyal fan of uniden for many years but this product has shaken my confidence in there recent quality or lack there of.
Great Cordless with great features.......2007-02-06
This is a really good phone! Love the size and the handsfree features on each phone AND the base. Our last phone did not have that feature on the base and if the phone rang and we could not locate the handsets we could not answer the phone. Now we can! The reception is great and the volume features are easy to operate. We also got a killer price and prompt delivery. We are happy customers!

Nice phone, nice price.......2007-11-30
This phone replaced a crummy GE cordless phone which was a piece of junk from the get go. The battery on my GE phone would literally last 15 min after being in the cradle overnight.
GE's customer service, or lack of it is a disgrace. A total piece of crap.
This Uniden phone on the other hand, is nicely made, clear, and has tons of features. The battery lasts very long as I was on a business call for 3 hours, and it still had a bit of power left. The fact it comes with 3 phones each, with their own cradle and power supply is an extra feature, well worth the money.
I also like the record a phone call feature but wish it was longer than 10 min and did not have that annoying beep every 15 seconds.
Panasonic [i]used[/i] to make great cordless phones years ago that would record your phone conversations and allowed you to REMOVE the beep.
I was able to do that and record a phone call that came in handy for a lawsuit. I won it partly because I had the taped phone conversation!
I wish more phone companies had this feature without the beep. Since the creep who I sued did not know I was recording our conversation, he gave me all the help I needed for my lawsuit against him.
Thanks Panasonic for that!
For now, this Uniden phone is worth the money for the features and the 3 phones you get. Not bad ;)

Awsome phone , great deal.......2007-08-20
i few years back i wanted to buy a good quality cordless phone. I went to the store and purchased a motorola for over 100 dollars. You dont always get what you pay for because that phone was a peice of crap. it never held the time correctly and i had to buy replacement baterries twice within only 3 years. Then the number pad wore out and the phone was not even usuable.
Today I received my uniden phone. it was about 1/4 the price of my previous motorola. the phone is very nice looking, comfortable, and very easy to setup. Probably the best instruction manual i have ever read for an electronic, and it is in english only. Thanks Uniden
Not super, very good.......2007-07-05
The best feature of this answering machine? It doesn't record junk phone calls. Otherwise, it is your run-of-the-mill answering machine. It answers calls and records messages. That is exactly what we wanted it to do and it does it.
Great budget phone.......2007-04-16
We've used two high-end Panasonic phones over the last few years and they have been fantastic from a feature-set and quality viewpoint, but their reliability has been suspect. This Uniden phone is cheap, but is a great budget phone that we wholeheartedly recommend. It works well with a VOIP set-up.
Wowzers!.......2007-03-09
The first week, I have put this phone to the test! And, it still works great! Great product for a reasonable price!
An INCREDIBLE BARGAIN! Works GREAT!.......2006-10-13
I have had NO problems with this unit whatsoever! The phone works great, with no static or other audio problems. People's voices come through loud and clear, with excellent audio quality, on both the phone itself and the answering machine/base unit. Range is excellent as well, and I have NO issues using the phone everywhere inside our 3 level house, and outside on the patio and in the driveway. Perhaps Uniden has made the latest version of this model to perform better than the older ones, given the one bad review below. Or maybe the reviewer was recieving external interference from other electronics in his house. In any case, this is a feature-rich, quality unit for an unheard of low price brand new! Buy this one with confidence.
