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.

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.

Customer Reviews:
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.

Major disappointment.......2007-12-20
As a fan of Uniden products, I couldn't wait to get my new phone!! I plugged it in, charged it for 24 hours, set it up and made my first call. Then my second. And third... Each of my callees had the same response: They all expressed pain at the loudness of my voice, and all had to turn the volume down on their phones in an attempt to ease the pain. They said the sound was "tinny", "too much treble" and that there was fuzz at the end of each word, sometimes making it difficult to hear what I was saying. By the way, I never mentioned to them that I was calling on a new phone - I chatted for a while and they each quickly or eventually said, "Where are you calling from???" or, "ouch! Let me lower the volume!!", with annoyance and frustration. I bought this and the companion accessory handset. At first I thought maybe I had a faulty phone so I set up the second one and made my calls. Same response. I called everyone back on my original 900mhz Uniden phone and everyone's response, "That's much better, what'd you do?"
So, now what? I'd like to stick with Uniden and get a nice updated 5.8GHZ phone but this is definitely NOT the one for me (or anyone!!)
Short calls are your only option with this phone!.......2007-11-26
These phones are bad. I purchased two in March 2007 and have had nothing but problems since. They hang up on ANY phone call after 2-3 minutes. I have them on the chargers 24/7, and still they hang up. If I walk more than 5 feet away from the base unit, they also hang up with a message saying "Out of Range". What is the range on these things...4 feet?
I'm currently trying to find out where to send them back to Uniden for a refund.
Uniden phone system a winner.......2007-10-15
This phone system is a winner. It is easy to figure out with the Instruction Book. I personally like all the ring tones available. The expandable feature is what is really needed when you want multiple rooms connected without worrying about phone jacks. A big plus is the feature for accomodating listeners with hearing aids. The only reason I did not put five stars is that I could wish the phone were a little larger. This is an excellent system.
Excellent 2nd generation expandable cordless phone system.......2007-10-13
This is a reasonably full featured cordless phone, and its main advantage is that this relatively inexpensive base and phone can be expanded to handle up to 10 extensions in total (including the base). That's useful if you have a small or medium sized house or office and you'd like to be able to call between handsets, just like calling between wired phone extensions. There are similar but more expensive systems from AT&T and Panasonic. We bought the Uniden base and several handsets for a 2500 square foot home. There are handsets in the basement and on the first and second floors. The cordless signal carries well to all three levels. We bought it to replace a much older Siemens expandable cordless system whose reception is not nearly as good. The Uniden handsets have a couple of features that are particularly useful: You can name each handset -- "Living Room", for example, and then when you want to call an extension you see a list of all the names on your system. This is a lot better than seeing a list of extension numbers -- you don't have to remember that Extension 4 is the kitchen, etc. And you can enter frequently dialed numbers into the base handset and then export the whole list to each of the extension. If you're looking for an expandable cordless system, this one is reasonably priced, has a good range of features, and works well across multiple rooms and at least two floors of a house.
Good phone!.......2007-09-27
This was very easy to intigrate with the main phone. Programming phone numbers was also easy. I now have three of them.

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.

EXCELLENT!!.......2007-12-31
Great phone at a great price! Very easy to program. I got this phone for my aunt and uncle who are older and they love it!
Another good one by Uniden.......2007-11-04
After my last Uniden died, I went out and bought a v-tech. It cost more (which in turn should have meant it WAS BETTER, right? wrong.) plus it stated right on the front of the box, "recommended for wifi"-and as a vonage user, that was awesome. I plug it in and I can't hear the person on the other end, they can't hear me. I check my phone line with my phone company, they run a test, I go through all of this hassle. I call the store I bought it from, and I can't return it. After all this I came online to my very trustworthy Amazon seller, and I purchased another Uniden...and I will forever on.
The phone itself is very simplistic, not complicated at all. It has the regular features we use everyday (called ID, call waiting ID, voicemail, speed dial) and even some we don't (memos- records up to 10 minutes of any conversation: please read the fine print on this one though guys!)
Overall I just love the phone. Uniden has never let me down in the past, it's clear, has many options, and is a great product.
Exactly what I expected.......2007-09-10
This phone works great. Exactly as described. If you don't need anything fancy, this is the phone for you.
Good but not good enough.......2007-05-31
One of the most important features for me in a telephone is that it must have speakerphone capability, since I'm using it for hours at a stretch, attending meetings and conference calls. I purchased this phone because the speaker phone was one of its listed capabilities, but to my surprise, it just didn't have it :(. Wrong advertisement perhaps. Anyhow, with that exception, the phone performs great otherwise. If speakerphone is a must then this is not for you. That is why I give it 3 stars - it would be a 5 otherwise...

The handset speaker and microphone STINK.......2007-12-29
Don't expect anyone to be able to understand you or for you to understand them while talking on this handset. If you want to sound like Charlie Brown's teacher, this is the means by which it can be accomplished. The answering maching part works fine- I keep it just for that purpose.
Nice sound quality, poor battery life--GE..generally exhausted.......2007-11-26
I have had this phone for one year. I bought it because of the lightness of the receiver, the sound quality and the GE name. Unfortunately, the battery life is quite poor. I had a Panasonic for two years and it took many days and a lot of usage before the low battery signal came on. Unfortunately, Panasonic's products are poorly made and die after less than two years. Maybe this is the planned obsolescence of all cordless phones. But, you will find after two or three months, that the battery charge lasts less than one day or will be used up after a fifty minute chat. Buyer Beware.
Looks Good and Works Good.......2007-10-11
I've owned these phones for about 8 months now. So far, the batteries are running strong and I've had a good experience with the phones overall. I'm using one of the phones in the basement, and sometimes I will pick up a little static on that phone, so the range may not be the best. However, the phones we use most often upstairs near the base have worked great.
A couple nice features:
PAGING: you can page any of the other handsets from your current handset. This comes in handy when the wife needs something and can just page me instead of coming down to the basement to find me.
MONITORING: you can monitor any of the handsets remotely from another handset. Just press a button and you'll be listening in on whatever is nearby the handset of your choice.
TALKING ON MULTIPLE PHONES: contrary to a previous poster, you CAN talk on multiple phones at the same time. Perhaps they were thinking of another model, because we talk to our parents on two of the phones at once quite frequently.
ANSWERING MACHINE: We haven't messed with this much, but there are 3 separate mailboxes and you have the ability to check messages through the handsets as well as the base. We haven't had a need for this, but I can see where it could come in handy.
I'm not sure why this phone has received such mediocre reviews. I've been very satisfied with it overall. If you need long range, perhaps you should look at other options. If you're not as concerned with the range and want a solid, nice-looking phone with good features, this is the one.
Pretty good and easy to use.......2007-02-07
This unit took only a few minutes to install once I charged the batteries. I used all the defaults for voicemail, etc because I am lazy. The receiver volume control goes up to "4" and for me, at the maximum, it could be a little louder, especially if there is competing noise in the room. Other than that, I have no complaints and am pleased.
Good product, but needs revision.......2007-01-07
I bought this phone expecting better reception and range, but did not see any improvement at all. Only major complaint is that the keypad does not light up like previous GE models I had bought.
I like the "do not disturb" button on the base that turns off all ringers.
Overall good product, but can be improved.

Cordless phone assessment.......2007-09-15
We are very pleased with the phone and its operation. It has very good range, is user friendly, and the intercom works great!! Also, the reception is very clear.
Expansion Handset.......2007-09-13
Needed another handset for my office and this was the best price around. Save a lot of money and it was really easy to install. The speaker function works really well and the sound is very clear.
Worst handset ever invented!!.......2007-07-24
I am a usability engineer for websites. This has got to be the worst design I have ever seen in a phone. If you tilt your head the wrong way, it hangs up on the person you are talking to. The design of it is so terrible because of the location of the off button and also how touchy the button itself is. I definitely would not recommend this phone to anyone. It will embarass you during phone conversations because you will have to call people back because you will constantly be hanging up on them.
Review.......2007-05-12
Good product, but because of placement of on/off button you can accidentally hang up during your call when handset is cradled between ear and shoulder and you are using your hands for some other task...
AT&T phone.......2007-02-11
I am very pleased with this product, however, the only negative I would say about it is that you can be checking your messages on the answering machine and if someone calls in, it stops you from hearing you messages. Other than this, I really like the phones.
