1 out of 5 stars A Rip-Off.......2007-10-21

They don't tell you this but only one of the phones actually dials out. What this manufacturer was thinking when they made this package is completely unknown. Ostensibly, there is one phone for actually using and the other is one that is paged. You cannot add on or modify the system. The static is nearly always present, you need to change the channels often. Don't waste your money on this system.

1 out of 5 stars Horrible Phone!.......2007-10-10

You can't be on both handsets at the same time, i.e. 2 people can't pick up to simultaneously speak to the caller - calls have to be "transfered" from one handset to the other via a "transfer" button! They don't tell you this in the description, but now you know why it's so cheap! Pay the extra and get a better model, one where you can be on both handsets simultaneously!

4 out of 5 stars VTech ia5847.......2007-10-04

I assumed this phone had a speakerphone option when I purchased it only to find out when I received it that it does not. The phone in all other regards is perfect. I just really miss being able to use that speakerphone.

1 out of 5 stars Failed after 3 days.......2007-08-23

The base failed after 3 days ... the noise was so loud it was unlistenable. I followed each troubleshooting section until there was nothing left on in the house but the phone. Both handsets received the same noise. (The older phone that I replaced was still fine.)

I wrote to the vendor but have not yet received a response.

A three-handset cordless phone system from Uniden, the DXI5586-3 delivers both signal quality and a useful set of features. Utilizing 5.8 GHz extended range technology, the DXI5586-3 is able to offer clearer reception and greater range than many 2.4 GHz and 900 MHz phones. Plus, the two additional handsets include individual charging cradles, so you can place them anywhere you have a power outlet--no additional phone jack is required.

Caller ID and call waiting compatible, the DXI5586-3 has a 30-number caller ID memory as well as 10 speed dial presets for your most frequently used numbers. With display-and-dial, you can call any displayed number simply by pressing the Talk button, while the auto-talk feature lets you answer the phone just by lifting the handset from its base. Handset and ringer controls allow you to adjust volume levels to your liking, and headset compatibility gives you the option of hands-free communication.

A handset-to-handset call transfer feature lets you route incoming calls to the other handset location, and a page button makes finding a misplaced handset quick and easy. A voicemail waiting indicator lets you know when you have messages waiting, and the low-battery indicator alerts you when your batteries are running low. The DXI5586-3 is hearing aid compatible as well as wall-mountable for added placement options. Uniden offers a one-year limited warranty.

1 out of 5 stars Absolute Garbage--DO NOT BUY!!!.......2007-12-06

Someone in my family bought these phones to replace the 2 handset system we had when 1 of those 2 handsets stopped working. The phones do work and are able to make/receive calls. However, besides that they are useless. They do not have speakerphone (which is quite useful when you are on hold for 5+ minutes). Also, you can't talk on more than 1 handset at a time (which is quite useful when 2 people in the house both want to be talking to someone, usually a relative). So if you want a completely basic phone set with no frills or extra features, go ahead and buy it. If you want something useful, please do the research that my family member did not do and shop for something else.

5 out of 5 stars Convenient, great price.......2007-06-08

How anyone could think that just because you are purchasing multiple handsets you could make several calls at once is beyond me. You would need to have multiple phone lines in the house, not phones. The purpose of the multihandsets is convenience, ie... I put one by my TV chair so that I don't have to get up and go into the kitchen to answer the phone; I also keep another one in the laundry area. They are cordless and no jack is required for the handsets. Very convenient, with teens who are always walking off with my phone, we can't have too many phones in the house.

2 out of 5 stars added bonus!!!.......2007-06-01

Well at first it was annoying that we couldnt use 2 phones at once but then I realized that my wife couldn't snoop in on my phone conversations!!

1 out of 5 stars Poor range........2007-01-16

Very poor range. Tried everything. Phone broke up from one room to the next.
My old 900 MHz phone worked much, much better. This purchase was returned.

1 out of 5 stars Poor range.......2006-12-31

The range of this phone is far less than what I expected, It reaches far less than my 900 MHz or my 2.4 GHz phones, and there's the issue of only being able to use one handset at a time that someone else posted earlier. I do not recommend it.

The product was ontime and it was exactly as i expected. It works ok and i am happy with my purchase

4 out of 5 stars Great, inexpensive phone.......2007-12-06

I was worried about buying this phone as the reviews of the product had been mixed. But it was so inexpensive, I took a chance. I have been very happy with it. It took no time to set up, the controls are simple, the battery life is very long and the signal is clear. It also has a nice look to it, for those concerned with their decorating.

4 out of 5 stars Works well.......2007-08-30

I owned another VTech cordless phone with answering machine. That phone worked Ok too. But one day, I took it outside and forgot it at the deck. By the time I remembered, the handset sat in the rain for 30 minutes and totally soaked. From that day, the handset's talk-time won't last 30 minutes even after we replaced the battery. This phone and answer machine works fine. The package is a bit strange though: most of the stuffs are wrapped in plastic bags that are not sealed. But the product looks brand new. The handset does not feel as sleek as panasonic's but the battery lasts days without a recharge. For the price, it can't be beat.

3 out of 5 stars Not Bad...Just Don't Go Far........2007-08-27

I live in a very small apartment and I can walk from one side to the other, but I I walk out the door, the signal gets crackly and then gone!
The phone other wise is good, just a little harder to program than most.
Oh, and the battery cover keeps popping off. Annoying.

But otherwise a good phone.

4 out of 5 stars Nice Answering system.......2007-08-23

Great little system. Takes up little space and has good
range. Easy to operate. The only draw back is the automated voice on
the answering system is a little hard to understand at times.

2 out of 5 stars Only one at a time.........2007-12-07

The DXAI 5588-2 has many nice features. However, I've purchased many cordless phones in years past and never had a set of 2 that you could not use together. If you are upstairs and your wife takes a call for you downstairs, the upstairs Uniden phone is useless because only one phone can be used for incoming calls.

1 out of 5 stars Yet another crummy phone.......2007-11-29

Bought this about a year ago. Despite the two handset bases placed in optimum conditions, we couldn't get a signal in over half of a 2400 sq' one-level house. The call quality was static-filled unless you were standing in the same room as the base unit. Battery life degraded quickly; 6 months in, I had to buy a pair of replacement rechargeables. They've also lasted 6 months and both handsets resumed beeping low battery warnings 10 seconds into the call before abruptly ending the connection. If you press handset buttons or pick the handset up off the answering machine during message playback (say, to start punching in the phone number as your caller recites them), the message playback stops. What a miserable phone and into the bin it goes. I'll never buy Uniden again.

1 out of 5 stars Not very good........2007-10-08

I have owned this phone for about 1 year. The answering machine is now full of static. Most messages left I cannot understand. Also, from the beginning I could be sitting a few feet from the base and if I turned my head wrong the line would be full of static.

1 out of 5 stars Static is terrible!.......2007-09-14

We have owned these phones for almost a year. They seemed fine for awhile. I like that they have a volume control. I don't like that you can't listen on both handsets at the same time. These have gotten progressively worse in the static arena. At this point there is a terrible humming on both handsets. Changing the "channel" doesn't seem to help at all. I would definitely NOT buy these again and wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

1 out of 5 stars Into the garbage with this one.......2007-08-29

I've tried every place in my house can't hear a thing on either handset even with the volume on high. Most of the time all I get is static. I should have read the reviews before I purchased this item. Apparently Uniden doesn't intend on staying in business if they allow their name on a piece of garbage like this.

3 out of 5 stars Alright but no real range for a 5.8 Ghz.......2007-06-27

The phone has a couple of good features. But is missing some notable ones from its predecessor, like speaker phone. The phone has great difficulty with ranges greater than 2 to 3 rooms away, which should be handled with ease. Pay less than $40 and the phone is worth it- otherwise, give it a big PASS!

5 out of 5 stars Some small mis....steps.......2007-05-13

An excellent phone combo. I'm not sure why the "charge" light is on 100% of the time for the hand set. Most of the sets (V-Tech) I use do not show the charge light on all the time. When using with a Win-based scrip-dial, the hand set does not respond as well as a plain and simple Pnasonic model like their "Advanced ITS" set (I have four), but it handles other features very well. Looks good. Feels good. Nice distribution of feature-set.
The speaker on sound returns the dial tone a bit lout but that is compensated by the quality of the transmission. An excelent buy at a discount.

3 out of 5 stars It's just ok............2006-08-14

Well, the phone was at least a really excellent price because I got it with a great offer. I intended to wall mount this phone. When I got it and tried to put it on the wall with the wall mount, it stuck out so much further than my other phone and I just couldn't leave it there. So, now I have no phone on the wall where one should be and it now sits on a table. It does not work very well when I walk outside of the house like my old Uniden still does. I can walk into my back yard with the Uniden. This phone, I can just open the door and step outside before it starts to fade. The answering machine is annoying. I really don't need to hear the date and time, every time I replay a message. It takes too long to review that way. I just don't like it compared to my former answering machine. The bottom line is that I only kept it because of how cheap it was. I wouldn't recommend it.

3 out of 5 stars MA581 5.8 GHZ Good phone not enough features for the price.......2006-02-26

Purchaed this phone a few days ago, charged it up and found it worked fine. Good reception and very usable, but it simply lacked too many important features. First it does not have a standby screen on the handset. You cannot name the handset and the only time any information appears on it is when it is ringing or when you are talking on it. The screen on both the base and the handset is small and difficult to read. There is no beep or flash on the handset to tell you when the answering machine has a message waiting for you. The answering machine does not tell you how many messages you have it only has an envelope that flashes on the base when there is a message. It has very limited ring tone and ring number options. On the base in standby the day of the week and the time shows in the middle of the CID screen, but on the one we had it was off center and tilted to the right. For the price this phone did not match up. However if you are just looking for a simple phone that has good reception and a decent answering machine then this would probably work for you. We returned ours and found a better one.

    Amazon.com Product Description

    A two-handset cordless phone system from Uniden, the DXI5586-2 delivers both signal quality and a useful set of features. Utilizing 5.8 GHz extended range technology, the DXI5586-2 is able to offer clearer reception and greater range than many 2.4 GHz and 900 MHz phones. Plus, the second handset includes its own charging cradle and can be placed anywhere you have a power outlet--no additional phone jack is required.

    Caller ID and call waiting compatible, the DXI5586-2 has a 30-number caller ID memory as well as 10 speed dial presets for the most frequently used numbers. With display-and-dial, you can call any displayed number simply by pressing the Talk button, while the auto-talk feature lets you answer the phone just by lifting the handset from its base. Handset and ringer controls allow you to adjust volume levels to your liking, and headset compatibility gives you the option of hands-free communication.

    A handset-to-handset call transfer feature lets you route incoming calls to the other handset location, and a page button makes finding a misplaced handset quick and easy. A voicemail waiting indicator lets you know when you have messages waiting, and the low-battery indicator alerts you when your batteries are running low. The DXI5586-2 is hearing aid compatible as well as wall-mountable for added placement options. Uniden offers a one-year limited warranty.

    1 out of 5 stars I thought I had just gotten a lemon..........2007-10-08

    I bought this phone about a year ago and have been regretting it ever since. What horrible quality. I'm looking around now to replace all of our phones (thinking Panasonic) and thought I'd check to see what this phone's reviews had been. It's next to worthless and I'm glad to see it wasn't just me, my phone service, bad karma, etc.

    1 out of 5 stars Disappointed with this phone!.......2007-08-23

    I bought this phone to replace my older 2.4 GHz phone that quit working. This one's a loser. It works only in adjoining rooms - forget about going upstairs or outside. If you are more than about 20 feet away from the base unit there is considerable static on the line. If you are 30 feet away, there isn't even a dial tone.

    This one's junk - don't waste your money.

    2 out of 5 stars HORRIBLE.......2007-07-27

    NOT TOO IMPRESSED WITH ITS EFFICIENCY.
    IF YOU LIVE IN A SMALL HOUSE, IT MIGHT WORK WELL.
    IT CERTAINLY DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH GHz FOR OUR HOUSE.

    4 out of 5 stars Cordless Phone with Dual Handsets .......2007-05-09

    Work great, dual handset it somewhat difficult to transfer calls from one to the other.( Can not use both at the same time so two people can share a call)

    1 out of 5 stars AWFUL!!!.......2007-04-25

    You'd think that because these phones have a higher GHz, that the sound would be of decent quality...NOT! These phones have bad static and when I am on the phone, I am questioned about where I am! Ridiculous! The Uniden 2.4 GHz is a wonderufl phone compared to this one, never had any problems of the 3 years I had them, however after then, they just went dead on me, I had the expandable ones (2.4) and only one just stopped working. So I would go with the 2.4 before I went with the 5.8. Awful quality and sound!!! Do not waste your money!

    3 out of 5 stars Motorola MA560.......2007-03-19

    Good phone but not great. It sounds muffled when away from the base (20 ft. or so)..Panasonic is a better value for the Money

    5 out of 5 stars Great Phone, Great Quality.......2005-07-02

    I bought this phone on sale to replace an aging cordless phone/answering machine. The old one was acting up. This phone is great. It's comfortable to hold, easy to use, has great sound quality and volume and works uniterupted throughout our house. The design is smart. The phone sits on the base face up so the caller ID screen is always showing. The answering machine is very clear and crisp. This one is a winner.

    1 out of 5 stars Fine, if you have a tiny, flat head.......2005-03-02

    There is no contouring to this phone at all, and the handset is WAY too small and totally flat. I can never have a decent conversation on this phone because when the earpiece is on my ear, the mouthpiece is 2-3 inches away from my mouth.

    Also, when I speak, my own voice tends to drown out the person I am talking with.

    To top it off, the answering machine always blinks, whether there are messages or not. I have to wonder what they were possibly thinking when they designed such a poor phone. If this were a cell phone I might be a little more forgiving of the handset, but since it is a full sized phone and a rather expensive one I expected much, much better.

    As it stands, I am considering buying another phone altogether, this one is so poorly designed.

    1 out of 5 stars Walk Away.......2007-06-26

    I was hoping this phone would be better than my 2.4GHZ Uniden.
    The 2.4 has a range of about 125ft. I can keep the non-base headset in the shop at 100 ft and it works fine.
    The 5588 starts hissing and popping at the back door -- one floor under the headset. I can't make it 1/3 the distance of the older model. BY the time I get to the shop the phone quits.
    So instead of ditching my old 2.4, I've maxed out the recharge ability of both 2.4s. This is really irritating since the 2.4 kills my Wi-Fi connection and the 5.8 does not.
    Time to buy another phone set and since I can't count on Uniden, it will be a Panasonic. Both Unidens go into the garabge (after recycling the batteries).

    4 out of 5 stars Does the job & inexpensive.......2007-03-28

    We have these land lines in several rooms and they have worked just fine over the last three or four years. I like the fact that you can add phones to the system. We had some other larger Uniden phones that work as the "main" phones and the compatibility is perfect. They even work pretty good away from the base set when you are outside in the backyard. The features like caller ID etc. is a bonus. I must admit the phone book feature has never been used but we could if needed. If I had one complaint it might be the size is too small. I think they wanted to have the cell phone size but it is not the same. For man size hands the keypad is a little small but you get used to it by using corners of your thumb. Otherwise everything works fine for these extra phones to have in other rooms. I'm not sure why one of the reviewers had so much static but there is no problem whatsoever here. The only time we have had static was in a bad storm but I believe that is normal. We bought them for the inexpensive price to have as extra phones and they do the job. If you want some supplemental phones these will do the job.

    1 out of 5 stars Poor Sound, I mean really poor.......2007-06-25

    Have some older GE phones that work great but this is an inferior product.
    Sound is poor both sending and receiving----

    Would have given zero stars on this one.

    1 out of 5 stars Poor Range, Short Battery Life.......2007-05-23

    October 2006 I purchased two of these phones based upon the recommendation from Consumer Reports. Right next to the base they are fine, however, walk outside or into the garage you can hear static and the person on the line says "you are cutting out".

    They recently both stopped working within a week of each other. The battery is supposed to last for three years. It's been seven months!

    1 out of 5 stars Look elsewhere.......2007-04-22

    This phone has horrible sound quality. The range is even worse.

    Not much to say but if you get it, you'll have an expensive paper weight.

    3 out of 5 stars GE Cordless Phone with 2 Handsets.......2007-03-28

    After talking for several minutes on second phone, must move closer to the base unit because my voice fades.

    1 out of 5 stars This phone is horrible...very disappointed for a GE product.......2007-03-05

    This phone has terrible audio qualities, both in terms of being able to hear who you are talking to, and also their ability to hear you. The sounds in the phone are very muffled, and the strength of the signal fades in and out. Automatic call-back feature is difficult to program, as with many of the other features. Spent way too much on this phone...and I think Consumer Reports actually gives it a good rating. Don't be fooled, this phone is terrible.
