phone.......2007-12-28
I like this phone very much. It goes for days without having to recharge it. It's very clear and overall a nice phone.
Good for the price.......2007-12-22
This phone caught our eye because the price was right and it had 3 handsets. It was easy to set up. My husband thinks the handsets appear a bit cheap looking, but I like them because they're light. Entering & storing names & numbers is easy. The earlier comments about voice quality being a little tinny are true, but it's not awful. We'd get this again.
Quality product at affordable price........2007-12-17
I really liked the intercom feature on this phone, which has improved our in-house communications significantly. There are lots of features in this phone, but its really easy to set-up and start using.
snap crackle and pop.......2007-12-05
the range is shorter than i expected, by far. there are irritating popping and crackling sounds when talking, when taking off the cradle, when dialing.
mom has a motorola, shoulda taken that advice...i am becoming less and less a panasonic fan...
GREAT ITEM.......2007-11-24
Bought and received this phone package about 2 weeks ago. It is great!
Especially like the speakerphone feature.. can use the computer or do other things without balancing the phone on my shoulder. Actually shape of phone does make balancing the phone between neck/shoulder difficult.
Easy to use. Like the phone book feature as well. Actually haven't used all the features yet.
Again, favorite feature is speakerphone and no one has complained that they have trouble hearing me.

My favorite phone.......2007-12-13
I've had this for couple of years now and probably the best phone overall that I've owned. It has wealth of features, easy to configure and operate. Small size makes it pocketable, battery lasts forever, the range is good, and sound is good with no noticeable noise. I have had no conflicts with wireless networks.
Survived dishwasher!!!.......2007-11-27
It took months for me to figure out where to position the base so that the handsets wouldn't conflict with my wireless internet. Once I figured that out, this phone system has worked great.
I especially like the intercom feature. Now I can call my kids from any room of the house.
But most astonishing is that we actually had a handset survive a dishwasher cycle. I opened my dishwasher last week to empty the clean dishes, and found a handset on the top rack, dripping... I just knew it was toast, although when I pushed the buttons it seemed to try to work.
I quickly took the battery out and placed it and the phone (open battery compartment) into the dehydrator for 24 hours. It worked as it always had! Amazing.
I'll bet my cell phone couldn't do that.
Great phone.......2007-11-19
This phone system is great.
I just bought my 2nd set, so the house has six phones now :)
I bought my first set about two years ago with no problems.
The only drawback on these phones, there is no Mute button.
But, the phone does have mute...you just have to hit the menu button, then select mute on the menu, so you get mute with two key strokes.
I still recomend this phone system.
Nice!.......2007-10-15
This set works nicely, especially if you don't have phone jacks everywhere you want to put a phone.
I love'em.......2007-10-13
My second set since my baby trow the first one in the pool, not water resistance I guess?. I love all the features no regrests the best phone set i ever owned.

Doesn't last.......2007-12-20
We have had this system for 2 years now. Its going in the trash. Everyone of the chargers (3 and main unit )have quit. We have replaced the batteries but to no avail they won't work. The new batteries worked for about 3 months and now we again get the "Check Battery" message. To be fair, we are beginning to wonder about a lightning issue but nothing else has been affected.
On another note from day one the reception in my studio in the back yard has not been great. I have to step out on to the back porch to get good reception. The prior phone was better.
We won't be buying ATT again.
Excellent Phone.......2007-12-05
Real good phone set. Both of them are good and work perfectly. A Steal for 25 $ indeed. I should say 2 for the price of 1.
Well our requirements were just a wireless set with good speakerphone and thats exactly what we got. The battery works fine and speakerphone is loud and clear. Not much to expect with the answering machine but it does solve the purpose as good as it should.
I am fully satisfied with this purchase.
Packaging wasnt so good but the stuff is excellent.
Perfect phone.......2007-12-01
This phone meets the mail. It's handy. The right price. Easy to use and fashionable. I couldn't be happier.
Really liked this phone but..............2007-10-19
I purchased this phone in June 07 and enjoyed the quality and service until recently. The phone has stopped charging and I have been trying to get the problem resolved for 2 days. At&t said to send it back after a 10 minute hold for customer service.
AT&T Duel Handsets.......2007-10-10

1+area code add in.......2007-07-24
For everyone who has this phone and was having trouble with adding the area code - I found the solution. When your looking at your caller id and it's a long distance number you can hit the # button to add the area code (if it isn't there already) and you can add the "1" before the area code and number by hitting *(tone) *woohoo* no more editing and redoing all the numbers before you add them to caller id!
this product is a winner!.......2007-04-10
this small size home phones works great, are good looking a has all the features you need, dont hesitate in purchasing. Not a good thing is the range!!
Very Disapointed!.......2007-03-19
We got this phone a couple of months ago and are still not able to use it at all. Originally, we could not hear anything from this phone at all. Now only faint voice can be heard, but the only end still has no sound at all.
I spend hours reading the manual, but still can not make it work for us. Maybe it is a malfunctioning one. I would definitly NOT buy any Uniden products in the future.
Does not stand the test of time.......2007-03-02
When we first received these phones they were pretty good - the range is short but we could deal with that. After a few weeks the sound quality started to really decline (echos, breaking up, and static.). After 8 months the caller ID does not function on one handset and the sound quality on the other handset is so bad as to make it unusable.
The small size at first was cute but after awhile is very annoying and uncomfortable. I just ordered a panasonic set and can't wait to trash this set. I have been a loyal fan of uniden for many years but this product has shaken my confidence in there recent quality or lack there of.
Great Cordless with great features.......2007-02-06
This is a really good phone! Love the size and the handsfree features on each phone AND the base. Our last phone did not have that feature on the base and if the phone rang and we could not locate the handsets we could not answer the phone. Now we can! The reception is great and the volume features are easy to operate. We also got a killer price and prompt delivery. We are happy customers!

2.4 GHZ, Analog Dual Handset, With Digital Answering Device & Caller ID, Remote Message Retrieval, 10 Name & Number Phonebook Directory, 15 Minute Recording Time, Back Lit Keypad & Display, 9 Number Speed Dial, Handset Volume Control, Bilingual Prompts, Metallic Finish.

The VTech T2350 2.4 GHz Dual Handset Cordless Phone System with Digital Answering Device and Caller ID is a versatile and economical solution for the home. A digital answering system with 15 minutes of record time is built into the base, reducing clutter on your desktop. Because operation is fully digital, messages are stored without the use of tapes or other moving parts that can wear out. Access your messages when you are away from home with the remote functions at your disposal from any touch-tone phone. An audible time and day stamp lets you know when messages were recorded.
The second handset works off the base unit, so you only need one jack to run both phones. Just connect the base unit to your phone line, then plug the extra charger into an electrical outlet in any room you choose.
The LCD screen on each handset allows you to view the name, number, time and date of incoming calls at a glance, even those on Call Waiting. Caller ID stores the name, number, time and date of up to 30 incoming calls. The 10 name/number phone book directory lets you store important contact information for easy access.
The cordless handsets use enhanced 2.4 GHz technology to provide a more secure frequency of operation and wider range of use than is available with 900 MHz handsets. Backlit keys and display make it easy to dial in low light, and the any key answer function means you'll never miss a call fumbling for the talk button. Separate volume controls on the handset and base let you customize the proper audio levels. This phone also features last-number redial and a handset locator key.

Answering Machine phone system.......2007-11-24
I just got it. Only took a few minutes to have the time and date entered and also the outgoing message on the answering machine. Nice clean look. Also easy to set how many rings you want before answering and the volume you want it to play your announcment and messages at. When setting the year it is now, however, I went by it by a year and had to go to 2039 before it started over to get it back to 2007. Still easy to do though. I had my old one 10 years and still had problems setting the time and date on it. I haven't tried any of the other features as I most likely won't use them.
Works fine, good value for the buck, but a couple minor issues keep me from giving it more stars.......2007-01-05
The sound quality is fine, I like being able to use the caller ID and adjust the volume, BUT... the remote unit is staticky (admittedly, I have not tried harder to resolve this issue), and when I cradle the handset between my cheek and shoulder, I often bump the "transfer" button, which I think transfers a call from one handset to the other, but ends up causing the call to be lost. I have retrained myself not to cradle the phone, but it's a minor annoyance.
On the plus side, it's an overall good value for the buck, has all the features you could want, the answering system works fine (although we have since gotten voice mail so we stopped using the answering system), and its look is sleek. If you are not a phone cradler so you can devote both of your hands to another activity, this phone could be the answer to your search. If you are a habitual cradler, however, you may want to look elsewhere.

Awsome phone , great deal.......2007-08-20
i few years back i wanted to buy a good quality cordless phone. I went to the store and purchased a motorola for over 100 dollars. You dont always get what you pay for because that phone was a peice of crap. it never held the time correctly and i had to buy replacement baterries twice within only 3 years. Then the number pad wore out and the phone was not even usuable.
Today I received my uniden phone. it was about 1/4 the price of my previous motorola. the phone is very nice looking, comfortable, and very easy to setup. Probably the best instruction manual i have ever read for an electronic, and it is in english only. Thanks Uniden
Not super, very good.......2007-07-05
The best feature of this answering machine? It doesn't record junk phone calls. Otherwise, it is your run-of-the-mill answering machine. It answers calls and records messages. That is exactly what we wanted it to do and it does it.
Great budget phone.......2007-04-16
We've used two high-end Panasonic phones over the last few years and they have been fantastic from a feature-set and quality viewpoint, but their reliability has been suspect. This Uniden phone is cheap, but is a great budget phone that we wholeheartedly recommend. It works well with a VOIP set-up.
Wowzers!.......2007-03-09
The first week, I have put this phone to the test! And, it still works great! Great product for a reasonable price!
An INCREDIBLE BARGAIN! Works GREAT!.......2006-10-13
I have had NO problems with this unit whatsoever! The phone works great, with no static or other audio problems. People's voices come through loud and clear, with excellent audio quality, on both the phone itself and the answering machine/base unit. Range is excellent as well, and I have NO issues using the phone everywhere inside our 3 level house, and outside on the patio and in the driveway. Perhaps Uniden has made the latest version of this model to perform better than the older ones, given the one bad review below. Or maybe the reviewer was recieving external interference from other electronics in his house. In any case, this is a feature-rich, quality unit for an unheard of low price brand new! Buy this one with confidence.

Great product.......2007-09-24
I have read previous reviews before buying. I think this product is great. I have had no problems, I can walk a block away and still have great reception. The sound quality is good but not the greatest. That is rating it with a corded phone. I would recommend this phone.
my little airport.......2007-09-09
The phone works well if you are 20 feet away from the base, after that, people cant hear you speak. My advice is get a battery for the base so that if you loose power you do not need to set the clock. This has to be the hardest task, setting the clock! Absolutely amazing how complicated they made it. Oh, and I call it my little airport because it flashes all sorts of lights! Drove me crazy, till I set a few things like the clock. It works well for its intended use.
Does what is says - was a lot less expensive than exp. unit.......2007-08-26
Bought this rather than another expansion unit ($60 vs. $129) for the basement. Didn't really need the answering machine, but it doesn't hurt anything. The speakerphone works well. Would recommend if you already have the MD6xx system and want to get another handset before you can't find them anymore.
Short battery life/complicated to operated.......2007-07-16
I`ve had this phone for about 2 years now and again on the market for a new phone. And it`s not going to be Motorola.... We bought this phone because it looked rigged and solid, plus I liked the idea of rubbon buttons but then I realized that because of this, the paint is coming off too fast. About 8-10 month after having this phone we noticed battery life shortened significantly. My phone bill is $18-20/month (most of them taxes and fees) because we don`t use phone that much but still we had to recharge battery literally everyday. I had couple times battery die during calls. Very hard to operate: my wife still didn`t learn how to page handset. The other annoying thing is when you listening to messages you can`t delete the message at the end of it because it goes straight to playing next message. You eather have to do it during the playback or just delete entire mailbox. I tried couple of times to delete message at the end but ended up deleting next messages. And the last reason why I wouldn`t buy another Motorola phone because messages playback is totally useless: you can`t understand a word with all the noices it records. We used to have Panasonic 2.4 cordless and quality of message recording was much clearer.
Save yourself the aggravation..........2007-07-10
I've had this phone for only a month and the handset is so static ridden and unreliable that it has become unusable. When I contacted the seller their response was, "We did not get such complaint fronm other customers," and I was directed to contact Motorola. After navigating the perils and pitfalls of the Motorola warranty I have decided to simply purchase another phone and cut my losses before this experience costs me more than it already has. If you are looking for a shoddy (at best) product with little to no support from the seller or manufacturer then this is the phone for you. If, however, you are not excited about wasting your time and money then save yourself the aggravation and avoid this product.

Uniden DXAI4288-2.......2007-09-24
Purchased this item after long and satisfactory experience with Uniden products. Good functions and easy to use, but very noisy and poor reception. Not recommended.
Can you go lower than 1 star?.......2007-05-15
This has the WORSE reception of any phone I've ever had and that includes a $5 stationary dial phone! It's cheap plastic and for the price, not worth it! I already have a Uniden that has lasted and done well for quite awhile, but this one is junk. The "second" phone is pointless. Transferring a call from one to the other is a waste of time. I took it back after 3 days and bought an ATT!
TRASH.......2006-09-14
DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE BOUGHT ONE FOR MY MOM AND ONE FOR ME. THE RECEPTION IS HORRIBLE AND ALL I CAN HEAR IS STATIC SAME WITH HERS!!!!!
Great Phone for the price!.......2006-05-29
I was skeptical at first because of the cheapy plastic feel to this phone but have had it for a little over a month now and LOVE this phone! I have had NO problems with anything. I get pretty decent range (walking around outside and down the driveway) without ANY reception problems (although I've heard it's not good if you have a WIRELESS INTERNET connection, but I don't, so no problems for me!!), the volume level is perfect (and adjustable from low, med, high), the answering machine works great and the dual handsets was my MAIN REASON for purchasing this. - If you have Voice Over Internet Protocol (or VOIP), such as Vonage, you NEED a phone like this!! You can plug in the main unit to your voip/broadband modem and plug the other set (the power) anywhere in the house( No PHONE JACK required!!) ! When the phone rings you can answer either set. When you need to make a call, you can use EITHER HANDSET! That was the purpose of this design (not to have more than one person chatting on the phone at the same time) and it works great!! A MUST HAVE for VOIP (so you don't have to get another line!)

GE 2.4GHz .......2007-10-02
I'm using it for last 3 months and it's cheap and good phone.
It has a nice color display.
Base speaker is very loud and clear.
Handset is speaker is bit noisy when you put it in loud.
The base has a simple mute button but if you want to mute the handset you need go to phone menu to mute it.
Battery life is okay.
Answering machine is good and setup is very easy.
Overall a good phone at a good price.
not great.......2007-09-18
after having this phone for a couple of months, the screen went completely blank, so I didn't have my caller id. Then, one day 6 months later, I dropped the phone really hard to the floor, adn the caller id and screen started working again. Also, this phone is uncomfortable to hold between your ear and shoulder with out using your hands.
Great Phone For The Price.......2007-09-09
This phone really isn't anything special, but it does the job. The ring tones are kind of cheesy & I've owned phones that were a lot more user friendly, but for $30, you can't beat it. A previous post stated that there was only a speakerphone on the base. That's incorrect. There's a speakerphone on the base & the handset. It does have a ton of features for a $30 phone.
Not wall-mountable!.......2007-06-19
Great phone with good features, but its the first one I ever bought that could not be wall-mounted. I had to re-arrange my desk to accomodate it. I Love the speakerphone on the handset though!
handset lost speaker function after 2 months.......2007-05-11
1. The handset speaker phone is broken after 2 months. It even lost its ringing function. Now it only works like a simple handset with caller ID.
2. The number pad on the base and handset are too tiny. It's very difficult to press the numbers, and requires you to press hard and hold down.
3. This is a 2.4GHz cordless phone, but it has bad reception. There is disturbing loud background hiss.
The rest of the functions are still okay. This is the 4th GE phone I owned, and this is the worst.

2 1/2 Year Shelf Life.......2007-11-12
We got this phone when we moved to a new house with only three phone jacks. The battery life has been great, as long as we put the cordless phones on the docks. The PhoneBook feature is fantastic. BUT...now I have lost use of the ON and OFF buttons on our most used handset. Making it nearly impossible to answer, or hang up a call. We haven't had any other issues, clear, loud and convenient, until 2 and a half years later.
OK - not great.......2007-09-26
I thought the quality on my phone was just fine, but the battery didn't last (replaced it in
< 1 yr and now, 6 mos. later, the 2nd one is going) and the 2nd handset keep losing contact with the base. IN addition, the base is not what I consider wallmountable...since it juts off the wall a good 8-10 inches (and gets whacked by everyone that walks by). I would have expected more from motorola.
REgarding some other reviews, clearly people did not read their manual s or play with their phone, so I feel a need to clear a few things up:
1. phone not ringing on cordless hand set OR phone ringing too loudly on handset---> you can adjust each handset to high, medium, low, off, or a different ring. Each handset adjusts separately (my bedroom is on low, my family room is on high).
2. No volume control for earpiece --> There is an up/down controller on the side of the headset that allows for earpiece volume control.
solid base with bad handsets.......2007-06-14
We got this phone (base with two handsets) three years ago for close to $150. The reception was good, the base is solid. We love the walkie-talkie feature. But as many reviewers said the phonebook is annoying, no search function at all. That's not the worst, both handsets lost function of quite some buttons. One is impossible to use other than taking a call. I am not sure if Motorola is bad at this or what. I own a simple Motorola cell phone, which also has two keys lost function. In addition, the handsets had very short battery life, talking maximum 20 min. The phone including the base will not ring sometimes, I am not sure it's the problem of the phone or the phone service company (Vonage). Now we are looking to just change the handsets, not sure if other brands' handsets will work with this phone base.
total garbage.......2006-12-09
after finally accepting the fact that Uniden phones are worthless, I decided to spend more money and go for a name I trusted, Motorola. But instead of getting a quality phone what I got was one of the worst phones I've ever owned. I don't even know where to start...
Sound quality wasn't great to begin with but after a few months it was mostly bad (echoes, interference, etc.).
The batteries immediately began to indicate that they were losing power as soon as they were removed from the charger. Though I noticed it immediately, I didn't think much of it at first. I assumed the phone software was just calibrated strictly to indicate loss of power. But now I'm looking at this phone that I've owned for over a year and the battery, after getting a full charge, will only last for maybe 10-20 mins!
The phonebook system is ridiculous - why didn't they just make it like a cellphone's? If you have lots of contacts, you must scroll through them all, there are no shortcuts within the phonebook system. The phone has two phonebooks (public and private), but you can't choose a default (the way the phonebook system is designed makes this 'feature' incredibly annoying).
I could go on and on... but why? Terrible reception; bad batteries; moronic phonebook interface should be enough to make anyone say 'NO'.. but believe me, it doesn't stop there.. there are numerous problems with this phone. TOTAL GARBAGE!!
Worst phone ever.......2006-08-20
This is absolutely the worst phone we've ever owned. The sound quality is terrible and the battery loses it's charge in just a few hours. Do not buy this phone. We're now looking for new phones to replace these.
