Great phones.......2007-12-26
I have one of these phones hooked to my computer and two handsets throughout the house. I have used them for some time now with no problems at all. My hearing isn't real good, but I have no problem with these phones. My wife and I think they are just great, and highly recommend them.

excellent product for the price.......2007-11-16
We have had these phones for over 3 years and haven't had a single problem with them. I especially like the 2-way intercom and handset finder features.
Good Product.......2007-06-27
Lots of features. Good phone, expandable to add other handsets. I would reccommend. Unlike my old cordless, only draback is when you clear caller ID on one handset, it does not clear it on the other handsets.
Features Fall Short of Promise.......2007-06-02
We've had this system, expanded to 10 handsets, for 6 months. When our old phones and baby monitor died I wanted to buy a new set that could double as an intercom system and baby monitor, both of which are features advertised with this system. I found to my regret that this is a decent expandable system, but does not live up to its promise regarding advanced features.
PROS:
- Expands to 10 handsets fine. The extra regular handsets interchange with the original chargers fine. Only the 2 waterproof handsets have to use their different base.
- Voice mail indicator light on the top of each handset works with the phone company's indicator tone (i.e. stutter dial tone).
- Dedicated voice mail button can be programmed to dial your retrieval phone number & code for one touch message retrieval.
- Each handset has a number (based on the order in which you register them with the base) and a nickname. When you turn on room monitoring or intercom, it gives you the list in numeric order to scroll through, but also shows you the nicknames ("Kitchen", "Johns Room", etc.).
- Redial has the last 3 numbers dialed, not just the last 1.
- Good backlighting shows up in the dark.
CONS:
- None of the bases are wall mountable.
- Each handset must be configured individually. The phone book can be entered on one then told to copy to each of the others (one at a time). All other features including speed dial settings, voice mail key, ring tones, etc. have to be set on each handset.
- Ring tone choices are poor, and grating. There are no remotely "normal" ring tones that are not either gratingly high pitched and metallic, or too soft to be heard. We resorted to the musical tunes but the handsets don't ring at the same time, so it's still a cacaphony.
- The intercom feature has it's own painful ringtone that can't be changed.
- The "intercom" is more accurately termed "in house calling". The receiving handset rings, and a person must pick it up and answer it. There's no way to make it automatically go to speakerphone. So if the kids choose not to answer the phone, you can't just tell them to come downstairs to dinner anyway. So much for our plan to quit shouting up the stairs! There is one brand that works the "correct" way. Unfortunately, I forgot which it was, since I ran out of time and motivation to package up 10 Unidens and send them back in order to by the other system.
- Speakerphone won't turn on until after a few rings when calling out. You can't turn on speakerphone then dial. Our old AT&T 2 handset system allowed us to hit the speaker button to get a dialtone, then dial the #.
- Speakerphone volume max is low; it's borderline if you're using the room monitoring feature for listening to a sleeping baby.
- When room monitoring is on you cannot make or receive calls. When there is an incoming call you'll get one odd tone, then you have to quickly turn of monitoring and then answer the call.
- Handsets cannot be used as monitoring receivers (the listening end) while on the base. So they have to be well charged ahead of time, and may not make it through the night.
Recommendation: All of the manufacturers have their user manuals online. Before buying a system, download the manual and read through the details of how the features work. If I had done that, I would not have purchased this phone.
Nice phone.......2007-04-12
This phone has tons of features for the price. Sound quality is very good, however, range from base could be a little better.

Great phone.......2007-01-05
The phone does everything that is promised. The sound quality is good. The navigation is really easy. The speaker phone works well. The ring is pleasant. The buttons have a nice feel. It's easy to hold and nicely compact. I plan to get a few more to replace my other phones.
works just as I'd expect.......2007-01-04
This is my second uniden cordless phone purchase, the first was for home, this one I use in the office. I do a lot of talking as part of my job, and I spend at least four hours a day using this product. Either with my headset or directly against my ear, the sound is clear, crisp without any distortion at all. The range is pretty impressive. When I need to have a private call I frequently walk away from the office into the courtyard outside. This phone continues to work through walls, and trees a half a block away from the base station. I highly recommend it.
A very good choice if you're looking for a handset speakerphone........2006-03-12
I bought this phone because I wanted a good handset speakerphone, so I can talk on the phone while my hands are busy without fumbling with a headset. This phone got great reviews (see the reviews for the
Uniden TRU8860-2 5.8 GHz Digital Cordless Phone with Dual Handsets and Caller ID), and in general I've been very pleased. Now I can talk on the phone while cooking, and waiting on hold for half an hour is no longer painful. I like it so much I'm even going to buy another one of these for a friend. I would have given it five stars except that the rings are pretty bad.
Speakerphone and Clarity: The most important feature to me is the speakerphone, and it works great. I can hear it very well even from a distance, and unless I'm very far from the headset no one on the other side can even tell I'm on speakerphone. Other reviews have said the sound is tinny or blurry, but I have had no problems with it, either on speakerphone or speaking directly into the headset. I haven't, however, compared it directly to other recently made phones.
Volume and Rings: I have quite sensitive ears, so a very important feature to me is volume control, both of the ringer and the speaker. This phone has six! volume levels for the speaker, and separate settings for speaker phone and normal, which I find extremely convenient. I often have to adjust the volume depending on the other phone, and this gives me enough range to always get an audible but not painful level. The volume control of the ringer is less flexible. I had to set it on a relatively soft ring since the louder ones were annoying and too loud. It's soft enough that if it's next to me in bed and it rings when I'm asleep it doesn't scare me half to death. However, I'm not sure I can always hear it from another room in my apartment. (I have another phone I use just for the ring.)
Size and comfort This phone seemed quite small compared to my previous phone, but I find it comfortable to hold. Most of the time, however, I don't hold it at all because I just leave it on speakerphone! The buttons are responsive and easy to dial.
User interface: Of all the many features, the only ones I ever use are turning on and off the speaker phone, and redial. Once you hit "talk" and dial, there's an annoying delay before you can turn on the speakerphone. However, if you just hit "speaker" initially instead of "talk" this isn't an issue. There is no redial button but there are up and down buttons that let you easily scroll through recently placed calls. The most problematic design issue is that it's relatively easy to hit the talk button by mistake and turn off the phone in the middle of a call.
Charge: the charge lasts about three days for me when I leave the phone off the base, which I find perfectly adequate.
Signal Range: Other reviewers have complained that the range is very small. I've used the phone only inside my small apartment, so don't know how far it can travel from the base.
A bit disappointed.......2006-01-02
I just bought this Uniden Tru8860 - charged it up the full amount of time required. It is a bit staticky and muffled. When I talked to a friend she could not hear all of my words and thought I was talking with a blanket over the speaker. Could not hear her that well either. The ring choices are a bit annoying and tinny sounding. I have put it back in the box and it is being returned tomorrow. My last Uniden which I had for several years was wonderful! Too bad the quality is not the same.

Very cool, but flighty.......2007-06-06
This phone is very very cool in its functionality. It does a lot of nice things, and by the features, the best phone I've ever owned.
But it just is not solid. After a year of owning it, we are starting to periodically lose phone service, and it is definitely the phone, because an old analog phone works jsut fine. This phone just keeps getting into a state where it thinks one of the phones if off the hook, and nothing we can do except unplug it for a week seems to bring it back. Also, about 15% of the time the sound quality is quite poor and is subject to echoes, although normally it is fine.
The worse Phone.......2007-01-04
This phone was nothing but trouble.It continually stopped working causing me to have no phone service. I called my phone service and they came up and determined that the problem was in the phone,so I hooked up my old phone and everything was fine with my service. I would not reccomend this model phone to anyone,even though it's a Uniden.
Great phone, only minor problems.......2006-06-10
We've been using this phone in a house with WiFi (B/G) coverage and an older analog 2.4GHz phone. Sound quality has been great and there has been no noticable interference between the systems.
Pros:
-Messages can be replayed/deleted on the base station or any handset. Each handset has a 'blinking light' message indicator.
-Each handset can have it's own 'name' displayed on the LCD screen, useful for paging/intercom
-Bright, easy to read display
-Phonebook can be copied between handsets
-Base and Handsets have their own ring tone and volume
-Answering machine gives date stamps to messages
Cons/Possible Improvements:
-Small "concave", buttons (convex buttons are usually easier to press)
-Awkward button layout (many buttons have two uses and the "select" button is at an awkward place)
Summary:
Great phone system to give the whole house telephone access with only one jack.
avoid this phone.......2006-05-07
Avoid this phone. The sound quality is poor and the buttons on the phone are too small.
