5 out of 5 stars 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.

5 out of 5 stars 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.

5 out of 5 stars 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.

4 out of 5 stars 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.

4 out of 5 stars 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.

4 out of 5 stars Great Phone But NO Headset Jack.......2007-12-26

Purchased this phone when my older (must have been over 10 years old) wireless VTech performed a nose dive onto the floor and could not recover. I stayed with VTech and bought in to the new DECT technology even though I didn't seem to be experiencing any issues with my wireless router and phone sound quality.

The VTech 6042 is a nice phone with good feature set. The base has a much smaller profile than many older phones and the handsets sit upright in the cradle, so you'll save on some desk space with this new cradle.

The handsets are light, sleek and comfortable and easy to hold. The audio quality is very good, the mute button easy to find when you need it, volume controls for ringer and handset work well and the headset doesn't interfere with hearing aids.

The only fault I could find was with the lack of a headphone jack on the handset. If you are one of those that have long conversations on the phone and have come to rely on a wired headphone attached to the handset, look elsewhere - the VTech 6042 does not provide headphone jacks, so you'll have to live with the built in speakerphone feature. If headphone jack is a MUST HAVE along with DECT technology, look to the Uniden DECT2080 instead.

4 out of 5 stars Send back to Vtech if batteries are bad.......2007-12-19

Many of these phones are defective and will not hold a charge. Vtech replaced mine in two days (sent me new phones first with prepaid shipping to return the old ones.) The new phones work great.

Do not return them to the store. You are going to get more from the same batch of bad phones.

Every company has problems at one time or another. It is how promptly and courteously you handle the problems that really matters. I'm happy with the phones.

3 out of 5 stars Good basic function, strange design choices........2007-12-11

I admit I was taken in with its sexy design and slim handsets. Fortunately, this phone does the basics fairly well. The sound, both from the handset and from the base unit, is very good -- clear, crisp, realistic. The backlit handsets are easy to read, which makes the operation easier and the blue color makes it quite attractive. The LED display is clear and bright, with a blinking number for messages, illuminated button for whether the answering machine is on, and a charge light (on both the base unit and satellite base). The answering machine works very well and is intuitive to set up, so this is the phone's best feature. (It comes with a built-in message that is permanently saved, so it can be recalled at any time.) The microphone must be a decent one, as it records pretty well, although my voice sounds a bit muffled. However, it is better than some other phones I've used. Speakerphone is excellent.

The handsets are slim, so fit into the hand easily and comfortably and the base unit and satellite are small, so they take up little space. The base and satellite each have large, silver-colored toggle buttons that take you to the various functions.

There are some design problems. Headsets are not possible. The slim handsets are comfortable, but sit in the base and satellite units at an angle large enough that you must be careful how you replace the handset. I've dropped both handsets a couple of times and as another reviewer has mentioned, it doesn't appear that they will withstand many more trips to the floor. The slim design also means you cannot rest the handset between your shoulder and ear. Setting up a directory is non-intuitive, requiring going through a sub-menu selection process that is irritating. Redial isn't simply a matter of hitting the redial button -- you must hit call, then redial. However, I've found this doesn't always work. I unplugged both the satellite and base unit during a lightning storm and had to reset everything, meaning I even lost my entire directory and had to re-enter it. Very annoying. I don't know if V-Tech has designed the ring feature this way, but I haven't figured out how to adjust the rings so they are identical. I'd rather not have two different kinds of ringing at the same time, but apparently this is something I must live with. Deleting messages must occur while a message is playing and cannot happen while the message and its date/time stamp is being announced. The lack of a keypad on the base unit was something I didn't think I'd need, but now I wish this phone has one. If you're listening to a recorded menu of choices ("Press 1 for customer service...", etc.), there is often no pause once you press the number on the handset, so you've missed part of the next message during the time it takes you to get the handset back to your ear.

Although the phone does basic things pretty well, there are enough design issues that I simply cannot recommend it. 3 stars is generous.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent phones.......2007-12-10

Tired of your old house phones. Well now you can have these awesome phones for the right price. They handle just like a cell phone and are very high tech. Very nice looking and very convinient

5 out of 5 stars Awesome phone.......2007-11-30

This is a great phone. I ordered it when my husband came back from Germany and it arrived with in a couple of days. It's not bulky and looks great. The only problem is that there is not a slot for a headset. But great phone and would surely recommand it to everyone.

2 out of 5 stars Minimal OK.......2007-12-29

I's say it's just OK. For the price, $30. But you can probably do better. Main problem is it communicates with you only by voice (I mean settings,etc.). That's mighty peculiar, since it has it's keyboard and enough display space to take input far more conveniently.
To make or change or reset something after a power loss, the voice goes through every setting in a fixed sequence, so you have to listen to all the ones you don't care about and want to leave alone. Then when you do want to change something, like the minutes on the clock, you have to press a key repeatedly to get increments one minute at a time, instead of just keying in a number.
There are two 3-digit codes (Remote Access, Priority Caller) it has to ask you about one digit at a time. Again you increment that digit one press at a time: for the first digit, then for the second digit, and so on.
What takes the cake though, is the strangest time format probably in the world: You set it to this, for instance: Sunday, 10:43 AM, 2007. The day of the week and the year! No Month or Date! There ought to be a quirky prize for that.

1 out of 5 stars junk.......2007-12-29

bought two, both died. poor quality. buttons stick. speakerphone sucks. volume rises and falls making it hard to hear caller on speakerphone and on headset. lcd display is okay in well lit office.

4 out of 5 stars all-in-one telephone.......2007-12-24

This phone is quite nice and reliable. The only thing I miss from my previous phone is the multiple, individual voice mail-boxes.
Other than this one item, I would highly recommend this phone to anyone looking for a voice-mail, answering machine, speaker-phone built into one unit.

3 out of 5 stars just ok.......2007-12-24

easy enough to use and program, this phone is cheap and basic. I really was hoping the speaker phone would work well. The volume is loud and clear so it succeeds on that point. However, if I'm farther than 2 feet from it people complain that i'm quiet and hollow sounding. if you use speaker all the time, look elsewhere.

4 out of 5 stars AT&T corded phone.......2007-12-12

Thank you for helping me find a good brand name land phone. I have looked everywhere in my City and I come up short everytime. I hope to use this one for a while. If you cannot find it on Amazon.com you can't find it.

2 out of 5 stars poor sound quality.......2007-12-10

HAd the phone for 2 weeks prior to returning it. Worked as advertized, but the past reviewer who commented on the loud tone of your own voice was right on. When you speak into the phone, your voice shouts into your ear. The only way to comfortably speak into the phone was to hold the mouthpiece well away from your mouth. Also lacks a speakerphone (which many in this price range have).

5 out of 5 stars great phone great price.......2007-12-01

This is a great set for under $40 shipped. The sound quality is great, the phones are sleek looking, and the caller ID screens are definitely a plus. We're extremely pleased with our purchase and will be using these phones for some time to come.

3 out of 5 stars LOW END.......2007-11-30

THIS PHONE HAS BASIC FEATURES AND IS WORTH THE MONEY. BUT I HAVE PROBLEMS "LOSING" MESSAGES. LETS SAY YOU ARE SCREENING YOUR CALLS AND YOU HEAR YOUR FRIEND LEAVE A MESSAGE, THE LED SAYS 1 MESSAGE, YOU PUSH PLAY AND YOU GET TO HEAR A MESSAGE FROM SOMEONE WHO HAD CALLED EARLIER. NOW YOU WAIT, YOU RECEIVE A NEW CALL AND THEY LEAVE A MESSAGE, BUT WHEN YOU PUSH PLAY, YOU GET TO HEAR THE PREVIOUS MESSAGE YOUR FRIEND LEFT. LOL I CALLED AND WAS TOLD THAT SOMETIMES THE DIGITAL RECORDER NEEDS TO BE RESET, SO YOU HAVE TO UNPLUG AND RE-PLUG YOUR PHONE. THIS IS ONLY 3 WEEKS OLD....

Would not buy this phone again, reception is poor and overall quality is
not very good

4 out of 5 stars Hello!.......2007-10-17

I have been a fan of Motorola for years. I liked the look of this and the price was right on for what you get. My only complaint is the address book only holds 10 phone numbers. The hand set holds another 10 so you've got 20 total if you can remember which phone has which numbers. Other than that it performs well with the other features. The ring is somewhat annoying but it does get your attention. Luckily I have a cell phone(Motorola) with all the numbers I need.

3 out of 5 stars 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.

4 out of 5 stars 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.

4 out of 5 stars 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.

4 out of 5 stars 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.

5 out of 5 stars 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.

4 out of 5 stars Good phone, flawed description.......2007-12-23

I purchased this phone and an extra handset about a month ago and am very pleased with it. My only complaint is that it is described as being able to be wall mounted, but I can't see any way to do it. I kept it and put it on my desk instead of on the wall in the kitchen where I wanted it, and mostly use the two handsets.

4 out of 5 stars Good phone.......2007-12-17

Good sound and lots of features. Would have really liked illuminated keys like on the cordless phone. Range on the cordless handset was a little more limited than I expected.

4 out of 5 stars Good Phone!.......2007-12-12

I was looking for a good quality speakerphone and found one! This phone has clear quality on speaker. It has a great number of features. Having the remote handset is an extra plus. The s
