Pretty good little phone........2007-12-29
We bought these phones with two more handsets for use in our business. The range and clarity are great, as well as the intuitive controls. I guess the only beef I have with it is that when you are on line 1 and line 2 rings, the sound cuts out with the ring tone. This is especially anoying when speaking with a customer. Even with this drawback, I would buy this phone again!
Great phones!.......2007-12-25
We really like these phones. The work well, battery life is great. And there are lots of good features!
awesome phone system.......2007-12-22
I am really picky about my phones. I had not seen this system in person only on the internet. Not only am I pleased, I am thrilled. This phone gives you all you really need. It is so convenient. You can pick up a message from any hand set by just hitting a few buttons. No more running to the answer machine. The voice and hearing quality is excellent. Speakerphone is great as well. It does everything I need it to. I have it in a 2500 Sq ft. home and no sound quality issues anywhere. That really does depend on your homes wiring and other wireless equipment. i have cable and wireless internet and it does not have any affect on the system. I highly reccomend this phone, If I'm happy you'll be happy, just ask my wife!!!!!
a little disappointed, just an average phone and answering system.......2007-12-07
The sound quality is just OK during conversation. Answering system outgoing message is actually quite poor sound quality. I have had several other phone systems with much better sound quality. It really lacks features for such an expensive phone/answering system. It does NOT have a paging feature, so you have no way of knowing if a message is left, except to keep calling home to see. There is no feature to allow each line to ring only certain handsets, so the business line rings in your bedroom, like it or not. Then there are the feature buttons that are recessed. They are hard to push, they are soft rubber and you have to push the button just right to activate the line choice or feature you're trying to activate, and it's difficult. The phones have a light that is lite all the time, yet if you choose to have the blinking lite alert you of a message, that uses battery power... doesn't having the light on all the time use up battery power? The handsets are long and skinny, hard to hold and you can't rest it on your shoulder. I wish I knew more about the phone before I purchased it. Not having the paging feature is really a handicap for me. How can I let people know I'm going to call them back within a couple hours if I have to keep calling home to see if anyone has even called, which I'm sure I'm going to remember to do all the time,since I have so much time and cell minutes to waste for nothing most of the time. I just think it's a lot of money for a very basic phone system. The only really decent feature is that you can add handsets, and oh yea, it's 5.8ghz so it's less likely to interfere with my home wireless network.
Declutter your desk.......2007-12-04
Our Panasonic KX-TG6702B dual line cordless phone system works flawless. We had a Panasonic single line cordless system before and knew what to expect. The dual line system eliminates the other phone from your desk and helps to declutter office. In our micro enterprise we got four handsets for receptionist, accounts, art director, workshop. We use one line for outgoing calls to keep the other line open for incoming calls. The intercom is a great feature to communicate between offices as well as to forward calls. Best of all you don't need to run ugly phone lines all over the place. Phone lines are plugged into central unit only while the daughter handsets only need a regular power wall outlet to recharge batteries. The phone's design is smaller and looks more professional than our old system.
Reach is in most cases fully satisfactory as long as you don't work/live in a bunker of concrete and steel.
We have not used the built-in answering machine due to voice mail from our provider.

Through the display and dial feature, you can quickly return a call, or use the redial button to access one of the last five numbers you've called. Both the displays and the keypads are backlit for easy legibility under any lighting conditions.

A real value.......2008-01-01
This combination cordless phone and answering device is a real value. The phone has excellent range and clarity. The answering device is easy to operate. The design is functional and attractive. The build quality appears to be good.
For under $60, this is a real value.
Brilliant!!!.......2007-12-23
This phone does what it promises and does it brilliantly. My wife and I love the LCD display on the handset. The voicemail feature on my vonage easily translates onto the handset. Additionally, you dont have to store the numbers to be able to identify them. If your service provider has a directory service, the phone automatically identifies the name and displays it when the caller calls. The clarity is fantastic. The range for the handset is also good. My wife usually takes the phone with her to our neighbors place and it works well there too. I picked this up on a deal at Amazon for 53$ and its tremendous value for that much. I would surely recommend this to anyone.
AT&T EP5995 Base Review.......2007-12-08
As typical AT&T products, this system is sturdy and works well. Its easy to install, navigate, and use. Unfortunately, if you are looking for all features, design, and finish, this is also a typical AT&T product. I was disappointed by not offering autodial (speed-dial), the cheap finish, and the amount of effort needed (force) to properly navigate through the menus with the cheap center mouse-like button. For the price I guess its a good buy, but its not the product I was looking for.
Best Phone I've Ever Owned.......2007-12-07
After five years my old Panasonic phone was reaching its end; it started to drop calls, the battery wasn't keeping a charge anymore (even after being on the charger all night), and I couldn't even walk out back behind my apartment without it disconnecting from the base. It was time to retire it so I started doing some major research, keeping in mind the features and performance that I wanted.
The Panasonic was an aging 900MHz and so I focused on phones in the 5.8GHz range. There was a lot to choose from so it took me a while, but I finally decided on the AT&T EP5995. I based my decision on two things - 1) the brand name AT&T because they may be a terrible phone company but they do make excellent phones, and 2) the plethora of excellent features. Having used this phone now for almost a year I can truthfully say it is the best phone I've ever owned.
The phone is very easy to setup as long as you read the manual, which is quite thick and impressively detailed. The base has a digital answering machine that holds up to fifteen minutes of messages and you can also place calls from the base because it has its own set of number keys. There base also has a very large display screen which shows the caller ID information (although the base screen is not in color it is large enough to see everything clearly and it does light up when someone calls you). There are about the same number of function keys on the base as there is on the handset although I rarely use the base except for setting the different functions (time, date, etc.).
One very interesting feature on the base is the optional spare battery compartment, which can hold a battery similar to the one that's in the handset. This spare battery can be kept charged in the telephone base for quick replacement when the handset battery pack is depleted. In the event of a power failure, the charged battery pack in the base will allow you to make and receive calls from the cordless handset for up to three hours.
There are separate directories in the handset and the base. The directory in the handset can store up to one hundred entries. The call log in the telephone base can store up to 50 entries. If you subscribe to Caller ID service you can select a picture or an animation to be displayed with each entry. You can also select a distinctive ringer melody for each entry, the caller's identity is known as soon as the telephone rings. The Pictures and Animations settings allow you to select an image or design as wallpaper for the background of the handset screen. I've never been much on pictures, ring tones, or any of that extra garbage, but that stuff is there if you want it. The full color LCD screen is beautiful and there are even display settings so you can adjust it to your liking.
On the handset there is a Call Log which keeps track of all the calls you receive which can easily be accessed by pressing the soft key under CALLER ID (on the main screen). You can REDIAL just as easily by pressing the soft key under this heading (on the main screen) and then using the arrow keys to go through the numbers stored there. For calls with Caller ID information, the handset will log the Caller ID information and keep a running counter of the number of unanswered calls. These appear on the main screen as "Missed Calls" along with the current time.
The EP5995 can accommodate up to eight cordless handsets, although why anyone would need this many is beyond me. You can add new handsets anytime, but each must be registered with the telephone base before use. Again, this is a pretty painless process, as long as you follow the manual.
The battery life is exactly as the manual states: 5 hours (of straight talk time) or 3 days off the cradle. I have had the handset off the cradle for three days and in that time I talked on the phone for about three hours so I know it's true. As for the sound quality I find it excellent, and AT&T was thoughtful enough to include a volume control on the handset (located right next to where you place your thumb when talking). Just keep in mind that we live in a digital world and there are all manner of electronic devices that can cause interference when talking on a phone such as this. The best solution I have found for keeping the line clear on the phone while talking comes straight from the manual itself...
"Other electronic products can cause interference to your cordless telephone. Try installing your telephone as far away as possible from the following electronic devices: wireless routers, radios, radio towers, pager towers, cellular telephones, digital telephones, intercoms, room monitors, televisions, VCRs, personal computers, kitchen appliances, and other cordless telephones."
I placed my phone on the opposite side of the room away from all my electronic devices (TV, computer, etc.) and I have not had any connection issues yet. Occasionally there has been some noise on the line, but this is very brief and is usually the result of me moving too far away from the base.
These are just a few of the features that I prefer and which are very impressive and easy to use on this phone. All in all I am completely satisfied with this purchase. I would recommend getting the spare battery (AT&T model #00249) because this is an extremely handy feature to have if the power goes out and I haven't seen it on any other phone but this one. Extra handsets (AT&T EP590-3) and the spare battery can be purchased on the AT&T web site for a pretty decent price.
Totally Pleased !.......2007-12-06
I selected this phone for the primary reason that it has a base dialer and more importantly the base LED screen I am able to read without eye glasses. As with all cordless phones the screen is too small and I have to put on glasses to read the caller ID information. I have found this phone to be exceptional in every way. It is user friendly and the sound quality is excellent. I looked at many phones online before making this purchase. I highly reccomend this phone!

Stay away from this one.......2007-12-06
We have been using the Panasonic 4 -line wireless phone system to run our home businesses for over 5 years. The original KX-TG4000 -- 2.4 ghz system worked really well. The problem however was that our wireless router created an audible interference, static in the cordless units.
So we "Upgraded" to the new Panasonic KX-TG4500 - 5.8 Ghz system. The new frequency works well with NO interference no static with our wireless router. The audio signal is quiet and static free on the cordless units.
The answering machine on this upgraded unit is terrible. It cuts off voice mail messages of callers. Typically it cuts off the last second or two of the phone message while they are leaving a phone number. After two replacement machines, a dozen support calls, and numerous attempts at resetting the VOX SENSITIVITY, and the AUTO DISCONNECT settings (settings which are totally hidden and buried if it wasn't for support telling me where these settings were, I would not even know about them.) I am giving up, resigning myself to living with a piece of S#%* phone machine that cuts off messages. I will buy a new one, a different brand as soon as I can find one.
I would NOT recommend for anyone to buy this phone system. For the $1000 we have invested in the system for our home office, I am certain there is a better product out there. But it is not the Panasonic KX-TG4500 nor the cordless units KX-TGA450. Stay away from this one.
Panasonic KX-TG4500B 5.8 GHz 4-Line Expandable Cordless.......2007-11-02
Loved the phone, has excellent reception so I did not agree with some of the other reviews that was posted who mentioned that the phone had poor reception.
The only negative thing I had to say about the phone is that you can not program your own ext. number. So if I wanted my ext. number to be 11, I can not do that.
Overall, very good phone system!.......2007-10-27
We needed a multi-line phone, and once you get past 2 lines, the choices are very limited. This phone has many good features, but could use some improvements. First, when listening to voicemail, it would be helpful to know which line the call came in from. Second, while you can record your own 'on hold' music, the sound quality is very poor, rendering that feature pretty much useless. Third (and maybe a bit picky), while 7 different ringer styles are offered, they're not very good. Also, as mentioned in other reviews, the ability of the person you're talking to being able to hear you clearly, is sometimes an issue. However, it is still a good phone overall, and we are able to use the separate cordless handsets (KX-TGA 450B), all over the house with no interference problem. Another great feature about the handsets is that they don't have to be wired; just plugged in! Also, the recommended headset (KX-TCA86) works well with the both the base and handset) and is very inexpensive.
piece of junk.......2007-10-26
I work from home and need a good 3-line phone for the house. After using the previous generation 4000 for about five years and experiencing the (apparently typical) problems with #1 and general quality, I decided to spring for the new version.
I was excited about new features like mute (surprisingly absent from the 4000) and speaker phone on the handsets, and figured the newer version would fix some of the general quality issues I had with the 4000.
All I can say is that this phone is a piece of junk. It is cheap, poorly constructed, and doesn't feel at all like a commercial-grade or even high-quality consumer product. Speaker phone is horrible, range is poor, call quality is bad from the base unit or handsets. Almost every conversation I have, at some point the other party asks me to speak up, or couldn't hear me or whatever.
I'm returning this phone immediately and trying the RCA product, which has gotten some bad reviews also. If that doesn't work, I don't know where to turn.
What I can't hear you........2007-08-09
Spent all this money on this phone and the volume is very low when you are on it. I purchased two additional handsets and two headsets for my business. When you are speaking on the phone, customers complain that you are talking to low and that they cannot hear you.
I like all the features on the phone but hate the reception and the fact that I have to talk loudly for someone to hear me. Would not buy another one. I called Panasonic and they basically told me that I would have to pay to get another phone. Wow. Amazon may have lost a customer to a local retailer.

Customer Reviews:
Great phone! very easy to use and cool features.......2007-12-28
I recently had to replace the household phones and ended up getting this set to replace the ones that got fried in a bad storm that we had.
I'm very satisfied with these phones. They are great!
Pros:
Sleak looking, and functional!
Speaker phone on handsets is great and clear.
Hold function is a great add!
Voicemail playback on the handsets (makes life all the easier!)
Headset plugin on handsets
long battery life
program your contacts on one phone and copy them to the rest of the handsets (I love this feature, no need to program the same information 3 or more times, just send the contacts to the other phones in a couple steps.)
Ringer and volume settings (very easy to adjust the volume in all areas of the phone as well as very easy to change the ringer to something else as well)
Caller ID and Phone book browsing: click the appropriate easy to find button then just go up or down, it's that simple. in the phone book you can press the key that corresponds to the letter and find that entry faster.
Expandable to 10 handsets (very nice for me as we have a large house and may need to add another handset or 2)
Cons: This is the reason for my 4 star rating.
I've noticed that on a lot of new phones they don't work well with all of the phone systems for caller ID redialing. If someone calls you out of your area code this phone will not allow for a 1 to be placed in front of that number. There is no setting to activate this feature or deactivate it. The only plus side to this problem is that if some one from your local calling area calls you can actiave an option to take out your local area code from the number so it will just dial the main 7 digits. But you have to write down out of area calls and redial them adding a 1 infront of the number.
I find the lack of a feature for this rather inconsiderate for a lot of users. What is even more rediculous is that I have yet to find a newer phone that has the ability to place the 1 before the number. Not every area of the US allows for a 1 to not be used yet, my area included. They added the ability to take the area code out so why can't they add the ability to add or not add the 1 before long distance numbers.
If it weren't for all the other great features of this phone I would have sent it back.
I hope this review was helpful to you as a potential purchaser of this phone.
I only give them 4 stars because it seems that no one wants to give you the option to either have a 1 in front of the number or not.
Be warned: Uniden phones pulled the finish off our furniture! .......2007-12-27
STAY AWAY FROM THESE UNIDEN PHONES! THEY ECHOED DURING USE - WHO WANTS TO HEAR YOUR OWN VOICE ECHOING BACK AT YOU? BUT WORSE - WHEN WE MOVED THE PHONES TO DUST, THE TWO CHARGING UNITS PULLED THE FINISH OFF OUR GOOD FURNITURE! UNIDEN'S RESPONSE: IT WAS YOUR FAULT FOR PLACING THE PHONES ON YOUR FURNITURE NOT OURS. TOO BAD A WARNING ISN'T IN THE UNIDEN MANUAL! SO SAVE YOUR MONEY AND THE COST OF REPAIRING YOUR FURNITURE AND DON'T BUY UNIDEN!
PICTURE WITH THE PHONE IS MISLEADING.......2007-12-08
The only reason I bought this phone is because I thought I was getting the answering machine base with a handset and TWO more handsets. Was very disappointed when I only got the answering machine base with the ONE handset.
static is a problem.......2007-11-27
I have these phones and there seems to be static on the lines - also the charge does not last as long as my previous phones
Best phone I ever owned .......2007-10-13
For me,the two most important things are clear reception,and range. Both are excellent. This is the best phone that I have owned yet.

Customer Reviews:
Great concept, poor execution.......2007-12-31
I purchased this phone from Amazon in June. I just sent it in to the Panasonic service center this week, because it had become unusable. It's been replaced by another phone, so it probably won't go back into service after it's been repaired.
Problems we had:
* All buttons on the base unit stopped working after about 3 months. We kept using the phone, since we could play back messages from the handset.
* After about 6 months, caller ID stopped working. Handsets would no longer display or announce the incoming caller.
* At about the same time as the caller ID failed, we would sometimes see incoming calls cut off after a single ring. Callers complained that they heard a "fax machine noise" and were disconnected.
At that point we had no choice but to buy another phone and send this one in for repair.
Other annoyances:
* After any call, ALL handsets displayed "missed call" - including the handset that answered the call. This is an annoying bug in the phone's software, though I couldn't get Panasonic to confess to that.
* The GIGARANGE utility included with the phone (used to load pictures and ringtones onto the handsets) installs in "start when Windows starts" mode, which means that if you have Windows XP in "switch user" mode, the second user gets a complaint that GIGARANGE can't start.
* The phone *may* have caused interference with my 802.11g home network. I can't say for sure, but our laptop would occaisionally drop its connection to the wireless network, and that hasn't happened since I packed up the phone last week.
So enough complaints. Things I liked:
* Large, clear display
* Talking caller ID is great, though it does have the limitations noted in other reviews (it will announce the name as provided by the phone company, even if the number is in the phone's address book and has another name assigned)
* The ability to load pictures and ringtones is nice, but not as compelling as I expected it to be
* Voice quality was good, though I must say that I've had better. The Uniden DECT phone we bought to replace this phone has excellent clarity.
Overall I wouldn't buy this again, and the experience has lowered my opinion of Panasonic phones.
phone dies.......2007-11-23
We got a replacement phone, but it does the same thing...just cuts out in the middle of a call. The camera we purchased with it (the reason we got it) works ok, but I would never buy them again.
Caller ID and Custom Name Display.......2007-11-22
When you receive a call from someone whos' number is in your phonebook, the caller ID displays the caller's name as it is sent by the phone service carrier, not as it is stored in your phonebook. For example: the display will read "Verizon Wireless" instead of the name of the caller as it is stored in your phonebook. The talking caller ID works the same way. There are other Panasonic phones that offer a "Custom Name Display", and will display and speak the name as it is stored. Why didn't Panasonic put this feature into this phone? This would be the perfect phone if this feature were included.
These phones are all cheaply made.......2007-10-18
I bought this phone and for a few months it worked great! Then in March, 2007 the hand set just did not work anymore. The painting on the buttons started comioing off, fading away and we hardly used it. The handset looked like crud. I called cutomer service. Reception was horrible as I was talking overseas (like every othe company). I am irritated with Panasonic's warranty policy which states that the customer has to flip the bill for shipping to a service center to get it looked at and possibly replaced. I think this is unfair business practices and I will make sure to seek out companies who stand by their products and their mistakes. No more Panasonic for me for now. I have wrote this as an email to their customer service. I will be interested on how they respond if at all.

Garbage.......2007-11-29
This phone is garbage. If I had to do it all over again, I would put more money in to buy a panasonic phone. The phone has lot of static and people I talk to complain that they can't hear me well. I also have an ATT phone on the same line, and that one works great!
very disappointed.......2007-06-09
Purchased 2 GE cordless hansets 5.8 GHz 28001EE1
Only one of the units work, The other did not. After contacting Amazon and then the seller and then GE I ended up having to pay shipping and insurance I sent it to "Thompson Product Exchange" as directed and hope for a replacement at some future date, perhaps 4 to six weeks if ever.
Will make any future purchases at local retail establishments.
goodbye!
Great product!.......2007-05-31
These phones work great with the free SunRocket phones. I bought 2 to add on to my original 2 and they set up easily and work great. This was the best price I could find, too, especially with the free shipping.
A 4th phone for my home.......2007-05-12
I am not real good at electronic things. I got this phone online with the other phones in less than a half an hour (after the charge time). The reception is clear so I am very pleased.
Great cordless phone.......2007-03-13
Got this extension phone to work with the free phone we got from SunRocket's VoIP. It works great and was easy to get it "hooked up" with the base unit.

AT&T .......2007-10-31
I purchased this product for home office use. I found the cordless phone to be very clear when talking. Very easy to set up. Plug and play. Does not have voicemail light for services provide by your LEC>
Substandard warranty arrangement.......2007-10-22
I generally like the phone. However, one problem has been that about 5% of the time when I try to use the handset, either starting on the speaker-phone or picking up the handset initially, the other party can not hear me, even though I can hear them. Even if I switch to speaker-phone, the other party is still unable to hear me.
AT&T agrees the phone is defective and can be replaced under warranty. However, they require the phone and all original components be shipped to them in Texas, and then (sometime later) they will send a working phone back. Why they think that a business is able to go several weeks (or more) without a phone is a mystery to me. I called back to ask specifically if they could charge the replacement to my credit card and send it to me before I send my existing one back (most electronics manufactures seem to do this). The rep informed me that they don't have any such capability and cannot send any replacement phones out until the phone being replaced has physically been returned. Fortunately, I am still able to return the phone, but it will be for a refund, not for warranty. And its replacement will not have AT&T on it.
User unfriendly.......2007-07-30
Sound quality is good & the portable unit works great but the base unit is so user unfriendly it is not worth owning. I'm going to end up putting the base in the basement, so I can still use the cordless unit, and putting my old two-line at&t back in my office.
Well designed, a few problems.......2007-06-30
I've probably purchased about 10 2-line phones over the years. The category is always pretty severely hampered in terms of features and usability, and I'm guessing that's because it's in between home use and office use. Nonetheless, two lines can't be that uncommon can it?
Anyway, let me start with the good.
* This is the first 2-line answering machine phone that I could set up completely without a manual. The base station has lots of dedicated buttons that are big, and obvious.
* The corded base combined with a cordless handset is a great idea. It means I don't have to hunt down the handset to use it.
* Decent sound and tone quality when talking to folks, although some describe the sound as a bit "hollow". However, I found that older folks who are hard of hearing can hear my voice very well with this phone.
* There is an option for the answering machine to "chirp" when it has a saved message. Very handy when you walk in the door, you know you have a message without looking at the machine.
* You can charge a 2nd battery in the base unit, this doubles as a battery backup if power goes out. Unfortunately, the 2nd battery is not included.
* A mute button for speaker phone. How many phones don't have this?
* The wireless handsets can be speaker phones as well.
* Overall, the thing feels "natural" to use.
Now the not-so-good:
* The Answering machine works well enough, but sound quality is really marginal. I haven't tried the outgoing message, since I prefer the anonymous outgoing message. But the saved messages have fairly poor quality, like the sampling rate is way too low.
* Entries in the phone book cannot be selected once the phone is off the hook. That means you have to select an entry from the phone book, hit either line1 or line2 speakerphone and then pick up the handset. It's not horrible, just awkward.
* Why will no machine maker include a "save as new" option for messages? This should be a no-brainer, since it's value is immense. Maybe it's too costly to implement.
* Phone book entries put in the base are not pushed out to the handsets and vice-versa. The manual tries to turn this into feature, but it's not.
* speaking of which, why will nobody offer an ability to transfer phone book entries to/from a PC? Or do people like entering phone numbers and names repeatedly?
Overall, you realize you pay huge premium for that 2nd line, and there are tradeoffs, but this appears to be a decent choice given the alternatives. Phones are sort of personal in terms of what you do and don't like, so pay attention to the negative reviews as much as the positive.
Don't buy this phone!.......2007-06-27
Don't buy this phone. It's the worst piece of garbage that I have bought on line. It has the worst sound, cord and cordless, that I have ever heard on a phone. The cordless has no range, it is constantly losing a signal. It seems to sound ok on the other end of a call.

Excellent quality great price can't beat uniden.......2007-09-11
I owned a 2.4 ghz uniden phone. I have voip service and this works great with it. The sound is clear and no hums or static. I highly reccomend this phone for any voip user. I have had other manufacturers in the past but Uniden is by far the best.
Issue after issue with this phone. Not worth purchasing........2007-06-25
I just recently purchased this phone and have been using it for a little over a month now. The phone works good but does INTERFERE with our wireless Internet. Often times people ask me where I am or if I'm outside because the phone sounds extremely crackly (on their end). Also, this phone's base station has very short-range before I'll lose signal. Being that this phone has such short range, from the base station, whenever I pick-up the phone to make a call it takes a while to search for the base station and in some instances CAN'T FIND IT. Whenever the phone can't find the base station I'll have to walk several rooms over so that I'm within 10 feet or so of the base which is absolutely ridiculous and defeats the purpose of having this phone as a multi-room setup!
One of the biggest downfalls, besides wireless interference and short-range base station, and I can't believe that they would even sell a phone with this issue is that YOU CAN'T EDIT NUMBERS IN THE PHONE BOOK WITHOUT ERASING THEM FIRST. This is absolutely ridiculous that you can't move the cursor to insert numbers like a "1" to the beginning of a number or just correct a mistake you made. This means that if someone calls you and you want to save their number you have to write it down and then add it to the phone book so you can include a "1" at the beginning or the phone can't make the call. That is just unbelievable and pure implementation laziness.
I've included a list of pros and cons below which I believe outline the many shortcomings of this phone system. This phone was a waste of money and I would've returned it had the 30 days not have come and gone. The next phone I purchase will most definitely be a DECT phone and one without all the issues below.
PROS
- Expandable phone system
- Wall-mountable base unit
- Speakerphone works like a champ (when the phone works)
CONS (too many)
- Interferes with wireless Internet
- Base station has very short-range before signal is lost
- Can't edit numbers in the phone book (without erasing it, just ridiculous)
- Answering machine message sounds horrible
- Local area code isn't dialed for seven-digit numbers (I saved the area code in the settings but never works like it should)
I don't recommend this phone.
Perfect Upgrade.......2007-06-06
I have had this system along with some additional handsets and love it. It is a great looking phone which means I don't mind having them out. It also has a lost phone feature which is nice. It numbers the phones for you which while I would rather name them myself does enable the lost phone feature to work. It's range is really good as we have it hooked up to a VoIP system in a good size house with plaster over drywall lathe (a hard wall for wireless) and have had few connection problems. The screens are very readable and the buttons are very spaced out and easy to read and push. The phone fits in between the neck and ear comfortably for "hands free" as well as in your hand.
Overall this phone far out performs the TRU885 that we had before and had either lost or broken most of the handsets, but again the construction of our house is a torture chamber for wireless signals. I am sorry to see that Amazon has upped their shipping time on this product, but I wouldn't let that discourage you from buying the product. When I bought my system, it was 3 to 4 weeks and they exceed that time estimate.
A phone that temps you to make and pick up calls.......2007-05-21
I was taking a fair amount of risk when ordering this phone, because it's a new model from Uniden and I couldn't find any user review on the web. It turned out to be worth every penny of it. With a very sleek look, it's easy to set up, has all the functions I ever need--caller id, address book, conference, digital answering system and intercom (walkie-talkie) which is perfect for a family or shared apt. It feels great in the hand and the sound is crystal clear. The only imperfectness I noticed is that there's a little voice delay, which could very possibly be due to my VOIP service. My roommates love it too and I'm happy to have picked it.

DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE SYSTEM.......2007-03-22
Have had my Motorola system for well over a year now. Many, many complaints:
1. the handsets buzz
2. battery life is bad - one of the handsets now lasts about 3 minutes
3. no headset plug on the base unit, which I have to use often because the handsets are so bad.
4. You can't read the display on the base unit unless you stand over it and look straight down.
5. If you take the time to assign names to all of your handsets, you lose the names when the power goes out! This happens even if you put batteries in the base unit.
6. The headset jack on the handset units is nestled into a soft plastic area. Some headsets also have a soft area on the male piece that plugs in. Two soft areas do not connect well... the headset falls out. I finally found a headset that stays plugged in.
Don't buy the Motorola MD71.......2007-03-13
I purchased this system 8/05 with two handsets. Within 18 months, the handsets began to behave erratically. First, the ringing would go on after the base phone was picked up. Next, the handset would signal "out of range" even when inches away. I tried to reset the system but unplugging it; the two handsets just died.
Please save yourself a headache and resist purchasing this utter P.O.S. Shame on Motorola for despoiling their brand in such a cheesy fashion
loser !.......2007-02-19
I, too, bought this phone with 3 extensions based on reputation and features. The range of the cordless handsets is mediocre (compared even to my old cheap Vtech). Worst of all, the handsets won't hold a charge ! Even after overnight on the charger, I pick up a phone to answer it, and get beeping for low battery.
There is something bad with the circuitry, because I bought a NEW battery for a handset ... and it is somewhat better, but still runs out of gas after only 40 minutes or so of talking.
I'm tossing it out
Don't buy it.......2006-11-28
This is the worst system i have ever bought The communication is very bad. I don't recomend it.
DOH!!!.......2006-08-07
Well, it looks nice, it's small, setup isn't hard, the sound is good, and it has several cute little ringtones. However, this phone has a major design flaw that makes it unusable for me:
There is no way to tell the answering system to record silently! Every time it answers a call, it broadcasts both the OGM and the message that the caller leaves, through the speaker! There are volume buttons but they make only a slight adjustment, from loud to medium loud.
Sometimes, you might not want other people in the room to hear the messages being left on your phone! Sometimes, you might be sleeping, and don't want to be disturbed.
Apparently, this never occured to the Motorola product designers. DOH!!! What a boneheaded mistake. Mine is for sale.
