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.

Uniden TRU9485 Good Producet.......2007-10-19
Uniden TRU9485-3 5.8 GHz Digital Cordless Answering System with Dual Keypad and 2 Extra Handsets Great product. I love it. I have always had good luck with Uniden products.
Horrible.......2007-10-13
i think these were horrible... we hooked them up and let them charge and there was a nasty noise in the background that we could not get out. i have actually sent these back for a refund because we were so disappointed... sorry but these phones stink!!
Terrific cordless phone system.......2007-08-17
Don't hesitate to buy this! I've been checking the market for over 2 years to find a replacement phone system to replace my 10+ year old one. This IS the one. Every feature works well up to expectations and then some. Good range from the base. Easy to use and well engineered. A very nice addition is the water proof accessory phone that is really built tough and solid. It will give you that one phone that you can take outside and not worry about getting wet. Check it out! So far, I'm very pleased with this purchase.
Well designed.......2007-08-06
This system works well - lots of nice features including shared phone books, paging and walkie talkie/monitor mode. My only complaint is that I start to lose good signal about 60 feet away from the base.
Great phones for a great price.......2007-07-01
These phones did everything they set out to do, and they can take a beating. Never had a problem with reception, even outside, where you're pretty far from the base. The speaker function is great. The only thing I would have liked is if the intercom feature allowed you to speak directly to the other room, rather than making the phone ring in that room, and forcing someone to actually pick up. But this is a fairly minor point, and just a personal preference.
As far as taking a beating, my 1 year old has taken care of testing it in this department, and so far so good. Handsets have been dropped, thrown, and scrapped in the ground, without any negative effects on performance.
For the price, you really can't beat it. It's my first Uniden, but I can tell you it's far better than my previous Sony and Vtech phones.

I love it, so far!.......2007-12-01
I can't speak for every characteristic of this phone, since I've only had it for a week now, but I love it so far! Great sound quality, compact design, handy features, easy setup, and the NiMH battery has gone almost a week on a single charge with daily use. Other PROS: The display is very clear, the earpiece volume has great range/adjustability, nice selection of ringtones, speakerphone functions well, room monitor feature is very sensitive (it clearly picks up my computer's fan while sitting 4 feet from my system). There is nothing I don't like about this phone. If it turns out to be reliable, I would call it perfect.
UPDATE: After having these phones for well over a month now, I am still very satisfied with them. I have noticed extreme interference when standing within 6 feet of my microwave while it's running, so if you live in a very confined space, this may be an issue. I'm not the first to have written of this, but I also think it's common for a 2.4 GHz phone to exhibit this behavior around microwaves. I still give this phone a 5-star rating, especially at the price I paid (less than $60).
Reliable Phone.......2007-10-09
I have had this phone for a year and a half now, and I have had no problems. The clarity is great and it works well with headsets too. The answering machine is easy to use, as is the setup of the phones. My only complaint is that you must setup the speed dials individually on each phone.

Good!.......2007-05-31
I bought this to replace my old cordless telephone that didn't have a speakerphone. It worked great until I replaced it with a newer GE model. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is that when the power goes out, it's very sensitive: it will wake me up in the middle of the night with the answering system on and it saying: "Press MEMO key to receive setup instructions." It doesn't have modern features like handset speakerphone and melody ringers like my current GE EDGE phone does, but it is good enough!
Nice!.......2006-09-30
I got it as a gift! I LOVE IT! The reason I only gave it 4 stars is that it doesn't have modern features like, handset speaker phone, melody ringers, thiness, and more! The feature I like about it is that it has a digital answering system. It's an exact sibling to the GE 25858GE3, but the 25858GE3 has an analog answering machine. It's overall nicer than most!
Durability is medium.......2006-06-22
Since all of the current models are too new to really rate on durability, I'm rating one of this phones predecessors on durability. I bought a GE 2.4 GHz cordless about 2-3 years ago (Model 27939GE3-A). About two years ago the handset buttons would double tone, meaning that if you press it once, it dials that tone twice.
About a year ago the handset buttons would not sound a tone at all sometimes.
Now it is a struggle to dial using the handset, particurlarly on certain keys. And when you finally do get it, sometimes it does it twice.
Also, the tones are too short for some voicemail or automated menus/directories.
Not loud enough.......2005-12-17
A very nice standard phone with everything I need. I like the handfree function (speaker). But a lot of times I feel the volume doesn't go up high enough for me to hear especially when I am talking out of my house.

No volume.......2006-12-27
Shape good. Speaker phone convenient.
Words rubbed off like other guy said.
Clock gains about 30 sec a day.
Cannot stress how bad the volume is. We have to keep telling other people to speak up. Oddly, this does not happen on every call, just many. Volume on speaker phone is usually much better (although, then the dial tone is horribly loud).
All right.......2006-03-16
Two months old: words have rubbed off face! good range, good reception, low volume, great price, great answering machine, two dial pads (plus for the wife), shape feels nice in hand.
Product Description
This phone is designed and engineered to exacting standards for reliability, long life and outstanding performance. 900 MHz digital spread spectrum offers you unparalleled range. It's the best defense against unwanted interference and it provides superior voice communication security. Integrated digital answering system utilizes microchip technology, which means no more tapes or moving parts. This ensures clearer recordings and longer life. The 2-way page feature allows you to locate a misplaced handset from the base and the built-in intercom provides convenient room-to-room communication. Dual keypad with speakerphone offers you the convenience of having two separate phones in one. It also allows you to dial your call from either the handset or the base.
Amazon.com Product Description
The Uniden EXA-3955 uses the 900 MHz frequency and digital spread-spectrum (DSS) technology to provide exceptional clarity and range for a cordless phone. This model also has an upgraded holographic LCD screen, which is brighter than standard LCDs, and two keypads, one on the handset as well as the base unit.
The EXA-3955 also has an integrated digital answering system with a voice prompting feature that announces programmable functions on the answering machine, such as personal voice greetings and the day and time.
Included with this unit are two interchangeable faceplates in jungle and denim designs, which allow you to change the color of the base station.

Excellent Phone, Crummy Answering Machine.......2004-11-17
If you've looked for a 900 MHz cordless phone recently because of interference between your 2400 MHz cordless phone, 802.11b/g wireless network, and microwave oven, you may have noticed that nobody sells 900 MHz cordless phones with DSS or even plain-jane digital voice anymore. Digital technology such as DSS and digital voice transmission are essential for cordless phone security and privacy. Without it, anybody with a scanner from Radio Shack can listen in. People with special equipment--or even good ears--can pick out credit card and bank account numbers when they're entered on a telephone keypad.
I bought my DSS Uniden EXA3955 a little over a year ago from a third-party Amazon seller. It's not available through Amazon at the moment; however, it is still available refurbished for $40 to $50 from other online vendors.
This phone is a basic one-line 900 MHz DSS model with great range--even through walls and floors. The handset is comfortable to use, and easy to hold on your shoulder. The sound quality is fine--probably not exceptional, but definitely not bad, with an adjustable volume control that goes high enough to hurt sensitive ears. It also has a standard-size headset jack that works well. The biggest disadvantage to me is the inability to turn off the ringer on the handset (it does have high and low ring volume with two different ring-tones). Other disadvantages for others may be the lack of caller-ID display (doesn't matter to me--I refuse to pay $7 per month for it on top of the $23/mo for basic phone service) and possibly ease-of-use issues for programming speed-dial (however, I don't use speed-dial on my home phone, so I'm hardly qualified to give a strong opinion).
The base has a speakerphone that works OK--about what you can expect from a consumer-quality speakerphone.
The answering machine in the base is all-digital, but the sound quality is poor, and it's not very easy to use. It can be turned off though, which is what I have done; I continue to use my $20 stand-alone GE 2-9868A answering machine because it's intuitive in its operation, and its sound quality is significantly better.
If you've come to realize that 2.4 GHz phones are all about hype and marketing (it's true--2.4 GHz signals are more easily blocked by walls and floors than 900 MHz signals, they don't use higher power levels to transmit, they're prone to interference from microwave ovens, and they're competing with wireless networks for 2.4 GHz spectrum; therefore 2.4 GHz is an inferior technology for cordless phone applications) and you're looking for a basic 900 MHz cordless phone with DSS that just plain works well, this is a good choice for the money if you don't use caller ID, and you're willing to put up with the crummy answering machine or use a different one.
Pros and Cons.......2002-01-19
Received this item for Christmas, and am pleased with some features, and not others. Recording my own message for the answering machine part was not successful. It came out all muffled and unacceptable. Handset ring is not same as base ring. Confusing to use memory features. Does it's job for the price.
Unidens seem to be a hit or miss thing.......2001-12-27
Our old phone is a uniden. The first one we had bought back then didn't do well for us. The second was wonderful. We had it for about 5 years and abused it quite badly. It still works but we needed a new one. So we bought another uniden. I probably won't buy another one. I bought this one because it was more money than others. My thoughts- more money spent the better the phone. I have static the whole time. Changing channels does not work. Troubleshooting says it could be appliances and we do keep it in the kitchen. But we kept our other one in the kitchen and had no problems. I would suggest to buy one in a store- quicker exchange if it doesn't work for you. Cordlesses are touchy.
Otherwise, I thought the features were great. I picked this one also because it has the functions we needed and not unneccessary ones. We don't use caller id. One thing I liked about the more expensive uniden (with caller id) we did not buy is that you can program a distinct ring for different callers. I think since this phone does not have caller id this function would have been great.
Product Description
Package include: 1 KX-TG5240M Base System; 2 KX-TG5240M handsets (total 3 handsets); 3 AC Adapter; 3 Battery; 3 Belt Clip; Wall-Mounting Adaptor, Manual. /// ** Up to 4 handsets with just one phone jack.
** Long Range, Clear Sound, Minimal Interference. 5.8 GHz technology will not interfere with wireless networks such as 802.11b or 802.11g WiFi
** Hear Who's Calling Without Getting Up. Panasonic cordless phones are the only cordless phones to incorporate true text-to-speech technology used in conjunction with your Caller ID service. There's no need for preprogramming or any fancy setup-as long as you have Caller ID service, just plug-and-play! Now you won't be interrupted by strange calls when you're washing the dishes, eating dinner or just watching TV. Let the phone tell you who's calling.
** All-Digital Answering System. Message operation has never been easier, with up to 16 minutes of recording time and up to 3 mailboxes, plus such features as pre-recorded outgoing message, remote operation, Tollsaver, and skip-and-repeat. And don't worry about losing your messages when the power goes out-they're stored in flash memory so they're unaffected by power failure or interruptions.
** Time for Dinner? Page Everyone Down to the Kitchen Table. This expandable phone system lets you voice page all handsets in the system simply by speaking through the base unit.
** Kids Sleeping? The Antenna Will Signal You Silently! We've found a way to shorten the handset antenna while still maintaining the long range that Panasonic customers have become accustomed to. But what's even cooler is that the tip of the antenna - which lights up red - will alert you to an incoming call (or a message waiting for you2). So turn off the ringer, let the kids sleep, and never miss a call.
** Put the Phone Down While You Talk. Having a handset speakerphone may not seem like such a big deal-until you have to call an automated phone system.

I went through many GHz phones- all sounded like cans. My neighbor bought this phone & I loved it. I have encountered no sound issues (those who do may have other interference such as microwaves, wireless networks, etc.) As with my neighbor- I am happy to have bought this phone.
