Terrible range, terrible value.......2007-10-16
I wish I had been able to read the other reviews for this product prior to purchase because believe me, they're true. Unfortunately I bought it late one Sunday evening after my home phone broke suddenly. It was a total disappointment and I ended up replacing it after two miserable months. I can't imagine how it rates it's 5.8 Ghz since everything seems to cause interference. The phonebook allows you to appoint ringer selections to each entry, yet there is no correlation between what is in the phonebook and what comes up on the Caller ID. And the range... well, let's just say it might as well have a cord. Actually, it would be better with one, that way you wouldn't find yourself losing a call because you "wandered" 12 feet away from the base! I purchased mine for about $85 and still feel completely ripped off. I can honestly say that I NEVER had a satisfactory call on this unit. Steer clear of this one!
like the handset, hate the reception.......2007-10-13
I have the 3 handset version in an apartment and love it. I bought the 4 handset version for my home and discovered how bad the reception of this phone can be. I put the base unit in the livingroom and 2nd handset in my bedroom about 30 feet away through 1 wall-terrible reception. I can't leave the room without the phone starting to loose signal and start dropping out. I returned it after using it for 3 days. Learned after the fact that 5.8 Ghz phones have the lowest reception capability of all phone frequencies..Live and learn.
This phone sucks, the range is Sad.......2007-06-21
My Mom and I decided to get a new house phone, because our good old Trustworthy Panasonic 900Mhz phone finally gave up on us. This was a good phone range was about full house and little bit outside. We went to Target to look and saw several cordless phones, and decided to go with this one because it was on sale for 100 dollars. Also i have a Uniden that still works after 7 years and it had great range for being 2.4 ghz, so i told her to go with Uniden. We got home and plugged them in to charge for about 16 hours. Then we finally removed the good old Panasonic phone and plugged this one in. Pros, i LOVE the look of this phone, it looks nice. The menu is also easy to use, really easy to figure out. The Features on this phone is pretty good, call waiting (Don't really use), Caller ID, you can also put up to 80 people in the phone book. Which is nice so you know who is calling you. Now the Cons: The Ringer is really quiet and i think should be louder then it is, even on max volume. Its hard to hear when its dead quiet, and even harder when their are noises. (cleaning, TV, etc.) Ok no big deal, i can deal with a quiet ringer i couldn't get that picky, because other phone was dead and we need a house phone. The biggest problem with this phone is the RANGE SUCKS, i mean my old Panasonic, 900mhz Uniden, 2.4 ghz and every other phone i know can beat the range of this phone with no problems. Our house is only 1500 square feet, so its pretty small. Yet it only works good in about a 20-25 foot range from the home base. After that it drops calls, (Not even crackly, just drops) the phones in other rooms Never ring because their "To Far" from the base. I Have the main unit in Kitchen, second is in my Bedroom, and last is in the sewing room. I have had a Cordless Expandable before and they have no issues with my small house. This phone was a BIG Disappointment, the Range is so bad, it just kills it. I don't understand why a 900mhz phone can have better range then a 5.4ghz phone. I don't need a phone that will work all the way down the block just one just covers a small 1500 square foot house. I cannot Imagine trying to get this phone to work in a bigger house. This phone is going back.
below my expectations........2007-06-09
Definitely not worth the money. I bought it for the list of features and the advertised benefits of 5.8 GHz over my older 2.4GHz system. What a disappointment!
This is the first phone system of this class that I see missing wall mounting options: the shape of the unit is ideal for wall mounting, but there are no connectors. The handsets are not eye-pleasing, to say the least. The handsets are too small and too crowded with buttons to be held between your head and your shoulder. There are also no headphone jacks and belt clips, so hands-free operation is not possible. I owned decent 2.4 GHz phones for many years and was anticipating the 5.8 GHz phone to surpass them in signal quality and range. It did not. In fact, the sound quality is mediocre to poor, and deteriorates to crackling when, for example, the basement unit is taken to the second floor. I did not see any improvements in the operation of my Wi-Fi network after switching from my old 2.4 GHz phone to this one. This, however, may indicate that the interference was negligible to start with.
I give it two stars rather than one because it does work somehow and was easy to setup.

Horrible.......2007-10-01
This is the most horrible product I've ever bought. The sound quality is horrendous at best. It is very staticy, and the volume is low. I was very disappointed as I've bought Uniden's before and they were good. I really recommend staying away from this phone and paying a little more money for a better version. I'm not sure what the other reviewers were using or if they worked for company, but trust me when I say they suck.
This system sucks.......2007-09-14
If you go more than 10 feet from the base unit it cuts out, if you go outside it cuts out, if you go downstairs it cuts out. The LCD screen lights up 15 seconds before the phone actually rings. You can answer the phone before it rings. Hard to hear on. Don't waste your money.
Excellent Cordless Phone.......2007-08-11
Great phone system. Much better performance that the 2.4 GHZ Panasonic system it replaces.
Excellent battery life. Panasonic system never had good battery life, even with new batteries. Uniden system recently performed flawlessly during a 3.5 hour conference call using speakerphone.
Speakerfone has excellent volume and clarity with no noise.
Normal use also has excellent volume and clarity.
Works well with Vonage VOIP system. In my home, the Vonage Phone Adapter is connected directly to the house phone wiring, and the Uniden system is connected to the house wiring in another roon. Flawless operation.
No interference with wireless computer network in my home. Previous Panasonic 2.4 GHz phone did interfere with wireless.
Some minor shortcomings:
During a conference call, it takes 2-3 keystrokes to mute the call, also, it is difficult to confirm in the display whether the call is muted.
Unable to dial or conference from central unit. Must use a handset.
A terrific phone system.......2007-05-19
This system has easy to understand start up instructions. It has many features found on your cell phone: phone book, caller id; special rings for special people. Good transmission when phone is outside and away from base.
Good phone.......2007-05-12
I have been pretty happy with this phone. The ringer could be a little louder and I have a dead spot around my house which may not be the fault of the phone. I also wish it had a belt clip.
But it's a very good phone and the battery life is excellent.

Excellent Basic Cordless Phone and Answering Machine.......2007-10-30
Some reviewers have complained about static and poor range on this phone system and its other variations (3 and 4 handset models). All I can say is that we have been VERY pleased with this unit. We have a 1900+ square foot home and we can walk throughout the entire house (and yard!) without any static, range, or volume problems at all.
Is the phone perfect? No. It's lacking some of the higher end features of more expensive models, but based on its reasonable price one shouldn't really expect it to come with power windows and a sunroof. Of note, it is missing a couple "basic" features, like a headset port and a belt clip. But if you can live without those, I can easily recommend this one.
Terrible Range.......2007-10-28
We wanted to upgrade our 90's cordless phone and went with this Uniden TRU9280-2 5.8GHz FHSS System. I can not tell you how terrible the range is and we have tried three different locations. Maybe 30 feet.
And the instruction manual is worthless. Interstingly, they are very vague about range and never tell you how far it should be. And they have a million excuses as to what could be affecting it.
So, we can not even use it in half our house. And the old phone worked fine range wise. Save your money and look elsewhere.
