Be aware of the different models.......2007-12-28
This is an outstanding phone. Very clear. Great features. I purchased for me, my mom and sister. Please be aware of the different models however. The TRU9465 DOES NOT have an answering system, it taps into your local phone company's voice mail box system which is about an extra $5 per month charge. If you want your phone to have the answering system go with the TRU9485.
Good for those coming back to landlines.......2007-12-25
We finally got a landline (my first since college) and we opted for this system after reading reviews and for its selective ringtones. Assigning ringtones to callers (or groups of callers) is a must for anyone use to the same feature on his/her cellphone. Although you are limited to the number and choice of ringtones included on the phone, we have had no problem assigning either individual ringtones to certain contacts or to certain groups (e.g. my friends, wife's friends, etc.).
We have added the yellow water-proof Uniden to the system with no problems.
Phonebook can be copied to all handsets and base, however, ringtones have to be assigned on each phone. So, pick your choices carefully, and just take some time to do so while watching the TV.
Good Price, Great Phones.......2007-12-22
I found these to be much better than the panasonic phones that I had been buying. The menus and buttons are clear and understandable. Nothing dissapointing, which for some products is enough.
Nicely integrated expandable phone system.......2007-12-17
Works well, looks good. I have a total of six phones in this system and haven't had a problem in the 8 mos. that I've had them. The only thing I don't like so far is the small clip that snaps onto the back for carrying the phone hands free, i.e. on a belt. It's too short and doesn't hold it well. The phone easily is displaced from its perch and dropped. I end up putting the phone inside my shirt or in a pocket.
Uniden TRU9485.......2007-12-17
Very pleased with phones ease of use and options. The only problem I have with this phone is it's battery life. I am constantly recharging battery compared to my old Sony cordless. I will try to change the contrast on each phone to see if this helps. I have only owned the phone for 2 months and we will see if the buttons hold up after a year of use.

Customer Reviews:
disappointed with performance.......2008-01-01
The phone was disappointing. It is very difficult for people to hear me and it sounds like I'm talking into a dead phone. I find that I'm yelling to have a normal conversation which is aggrevating. Positive points are that the numbers are large and it is easy to get up and running. I need another phone for my house and I would not purchase another and I would not recommend this model to friends.
Good choice for people with sight difficulties.......2008-01-01
This is a good choice for people with difficulty seeing small numbers. Functions are reasonably intuitive.
wonderful item for hearing and visually impared.......2007-12-27
I purchased this item for my almost 82 year old mother, who refuses to wear glasses to see the CID. She also has to have the phone so loud in order to hear things,although she swears there is nothing wrong with her hearing. This phone has a voice alert that announces who the caller is and although some of the announcement tends to be garbled, or should I say over pronounced, it is adequate in its purpose. The numbers are large enough so that you can dial without getting glasses and is great for those with arthritic fingers. It is easy to use and I would recommend it to anyone who needs a little help seeing who is calling.
Uniden CEZAI998 Cordless Phone.......2007-10-23
So far the phone is working great. Audio boost is useless though. It causes too much static when on but volume is loud enough without it. I also don't like the fact that there is no battery backup on the base. If the power goes out you have to reprogram it. Otherwise the phone itself is fine.
Uniden phone.......2007-10-10
I have always thought Uniden made the best phones; long lasting, clear, easy to use. This model is no execption. Works great.

Amazon.com Product Description
The Uniden TRU8866 cordless phone system offers an attractive bundle of features with room to grow. 5.8 GHz digital signal transmission offers increased call clarity and security while the impressive caller ID capabilities ensure that you'll never miss a call or lose an important number. Plus, a duplex speakerphone in the base and a standard speakerphone in the handset provide hands-free conversation options.
Housed in a professional-looking, no-nonsense black case, the phone's memory is shared between the caller ID log and the programmable memory dialing--100 names and numbers in the handset, and 100 more in the base unit. You can locate numbers using a alphabetic search tool similar to that of a typical cell phone, and the most commonly dialed numbers can be assigned to 10 speed dial presets accessed on the base unit.
The TRU8866 offers room to grow. It's expandable to 10 handsets (model #TCX860, one included). With additional handsets, you can transfer calls, transfer memory locations, and even use them as an intercom around the house or as a room monitoring system (baby monitor).
Additional features include conferencing, trilingual menu display options, distinctive ring tones, mute, hold, redial, and headset compatibility (headset sold separately). Even with additional handsets, the TRU8866 requires just one phone jack. Simply plug the base unit into a phone jack, and the additional handsets will configure themselves to "talk" directly with the base unit.

Wonderful phone system, especially with a home office.......2007-12-18
We purchased this phone when my wife started working from home and required us to need two phone lines for our house. This expandable system has worked wonderfully, we now have 2 expansion units to go with this base unit, and have had no problems. The speaker phone works well - which my wife uses most of the day for work. We appreciate the voicemail notification light, just have to make sure and check our voicemail to make the light stop blinking at night. The buttons have a nice layout and just have nothing really negative to say about this system. Got the job done nicely for us.
Clear.......2007-11-11
These phones are great. Super easy to set up and work really well in my big apt.
The light up display and MUTE functions are nice so I can see the phone ringing without having to hear it ring.
I can also see if someone is using the other line.
So far so good!
Excellent 2 line cordless speaker phone.......2007-10-26
I don't usually take the time to write a review about a product, but I felt compelled to share my positive experience with this phone.
I work at home and have a business need for a 2 line phone that is cordless and includes a decent speaker phone. I searched for several days before finding the Uniden TRU8866.
I noticed that some people had problems with their phones. I did not encounter any of the issues mentioned in other reviews. Some people complained that there is no answerig machine. I did not expect this feature since there is no mention of an answering machine in the product details or the product manual.
Listed below is my pro and con list after one week of heavy usage.
PROS:
Easy to setup
Easy to use
Many well thought out features
Very clear speaker phone
Great distance with the cordless handset
Excellent backlit screen
Call timer
Clear manual
Redial remembers last few numbers dialed
Does not interfere with my WiFi
Small footprint. Takes little desk space.
CONS:
None (Really)
Summary:
The Uniden TRU8866 is well built and designed. It offers two line capability, speaker phone, cordless handset, and many other useful features that will not interfere with your WiFi network. You will not be sorry with this phone. Just don't expect an answering machine. (LOL)
Good Job.......2007-10-04
Excellent product. Does what it claims to do with exceptional voice clarity for a cordless phone.
Observations Over the First Few Weeks.......2007-09-30
My prior cordless was a VTECH, that lasted for about 4 years, at which point the display became too hard to decipher. I purchased the Uniden for its sleek lines, many features, and brightly lit display.
The speaker phone is superb with excellent voice clarity. The phone illumitates brightly when an incoming call arrives. A mute feature allows one to stop the ringing while the call is coming in, if it is a call you wish not to answer. As a two line phone, you are able to designate which line will be operational when picked up from the handset. The belt clip is really sturdy and doesn't feel like it will break off.
I find the range of distance could use improvement. My old Vtech could get me down to my mailbox, about a 30 second walk away, but the Uniden will drop the call. Another thing I've noticed is that when a voice mail is left for me, the indicator light on the phone should be flashing, but isn't always. Still trying to figure that one out.
Oh yeah, when a call comes in on Caller ID from another area code, it doesn't appear with a 1, which is required where I live. If I want to save it in the phone book, the stored Caller ID number is useless, unless I go in and edit the entire number to include a 1. Its not intuitive, as I've tried a number of times but still haven't been able to add the 1.
Overall, I'm quite satisfied with the phone, and hope to work out these little bugs in the coming weeks.

Distance a problem.......2007-12-27
This phone works fine if you don't go too far from the base or charger unit...it has problems going thru walls and making curves...I wouldn't recommend this phone unless you plan on staying by the base.
Good.......2007-12-27
I am happy with the product but not sure about the extended range. Has some noise as distance from base increases.
Noisy.......2007-11-30
I don't like this phone, it some times has noise, even though being very near from the base.
Works fine.......2007-10-01
I've had this phone for several months and have had no problems. The range is quite good if there are no buildings in the way. Outperforms my earlier phones by a wide margin. Clear sound. I have no need for features beyond talking and listening, so gadget lovers might look elsewhere.

Features, features, features.......2007-10-30
We had been shopping for a phone which has lighted numerals AND caller ID. Good luck with that! Uniden has these features and more in this phone. GREAT JOB! We have had this for a week now, so we are still learning how to navigate through everything this does. The fact that it floats doesn't mean beans to me. It would be a cool feature, if you need an aquatic telephone, I guess. The lighted numerals were important for us for use as a bedroom phone. Most cell phones light up in the dark, so why don't more regular phone manufacturers offer this feature?? Anyway, we are happy with our purchase!
Improved so much..........2007-10-07
Compared to the previous model, WXI377, which I've owed for over two years, this model fulfilled most of my wishes what the older model lacked...
For example, 5.8GHz digital spread spectrum is much more secure than the old 900MHz analog. Now the keyboard is also backlighted as well as the display. The onboard speaker is nice and comes in handy. You can expand the phone to have more handset(TWX977 will give you the very same handset) and have features like transferring a call, page, intercom and conferencing, etc. Phonebook has much larger capacity, and now you can store two numbers per name, and personalize the ring tone...
Some same old problems still exist. The old WXI377 when it was submerged in bathtub, the cavity around the earpiece speaker would be filled with water that blocked the sound. I had to shake it vigorously get the water out, otherwise the volume would so low it was hard to hear the other party. The new model is still the same way, and shaking the water out would take more effort, seems to me. The chain dialing still only works when in a call(when you are connected, you can bring up the phonebook and dial another number. Works well for dialing a phone card access number first, then the real phone number from your phonebook). If you start by keying in a few digits, like "#0P"(I have a 2-line switch, #0 will access my other line. P is for a 1-second pause), you can't get in the phonebook and bring up another number onto the screen to concatenate them together then dial all at once...
The one area it screwed up is the redial number. On the old phone when you display the number by pressing Redial, you can hit Delete button to delete the last digit by each press. So you can edit the number by getting rid of the extra digits last time you entered when on hold and "press 1 go to this menu" or "press 2 for voicemail", etc. The new model does not allow you to edit the redial number. Hit Delete will wipe out the the entire line. This is the only problem I can remember now, that doesn't exist on the old model before...
no problems so far.......2007-09-12
A decent phone for around the pool. Happy to have something that we don't have to worry if it gets wet. Very good sound and voice quality.
Pool Phone.......2007-09-12
This product is WONDERFUL! We've even dropped it into the swimming pool and it keeps on going & going. My husband & I are very pleased with our purchase.
POOL telephone.......2007-09-09
This telephone should be a REQUIREMENT for anyone who wants a wireless telephone that can ACTUALLY be used outside or anywhere that is wet. Worked excellently upon receipt and in all locations since getting it and being placed into service. Plus, it still works after I dropped it into the pool a couple of weeks ago. Also this telephone "FLOATS" in water.

Uniden TRU9485 Good Producet.......2007-10-19
Uniden TRU9485-3 5.8 GHz Digital Cordless Answering System with Dual Keypad and 2 Extra Handsets Great product. I love it. I have always had good luck with Uniden products.
Horrible.......2007-10-13
i think these were horrible... we hooked them up and let them charge and there was a nasty noise in the background that we could not get out. i have actually sent these back for a refund because we were so disappointed... sorry but these phones stink!!
Terrific cordless phone system.......2007-08-17
Don't hesitate to buy this! I've been checking the market for over 2 years to find a replacement phone system to replace my 10+ year old one. This IS the one. Every feature works well up to expectations and then some. Good range from the base. Easy to use and well engineered. A very nice addition is the water proof accessory phone that is really built tough and solid. It will give you that one phone that you can take outside and not worry about getting wet. Check it out! So far, I'm very pleased with this purchase.
Well designed.......2007-08-06
This system works well - lots of nice features including shared phone books, paging and walkie talkie/monitor mode. My only complaint is that I start to lose good signal about 60 feet away from the base.
Great phones for a great price.......2007-07-01
These phones did everything they set out to do, and they can take a beating. Never had a problem with reception, even outside, where you're pretty far from the base. The speaker function is great. The only thing I would have liked is if the intercom feature allowed you to speak directly to the other room, rather than making the phone ring in that room, and forcing someone to actually pick up. But this is a fairly minor point, and just a personal preference.
As far as taking a beating, my 1 year old has taken care of testing it in this department, and so far so good. Handsets have been dropped, thrown, and scrapped in the ground, without any negative effects on performance.
For the price, you really can't beat it. It's my first Uniden, but I can tell you it's far better than my previous Sony and Vtech phones.
