Good phone, flawed description.......2007-12-23
I purchased this phone and an extra handset about a month ago and am very pleased with it. My only complaint is that it is described as being able to be wall mounted, but I can't see any way to do it. I kept it and put it on my desk instead of on the wall in the kitchen where I wanted it, and mostly use the two handsets.
Good phone.......2007-12-17
Good sound and lots of features. Would have really liked illuminated keys like on the cordless phone. Range on the cordless handset was a little more limited than I expected.
Good Phone!.......2007-12-12
I was looking for a good quality speakerphone and found one! This phone has clear quality on speaker. It has a great number of features. Having the remote handset is an extra plus. The speakerphone on it is not as good as the base, but still acceptable. The only thing I would want on the base is that the display would remain lighted, since it is plugged to an AC source. Also, you can choose different ringtones for different callers on the handset, but you can't on the base. What's up with that? But overall, I am satisfied with the phone.
Terrific Phone System.......2007-12-08
The Uniden TRU9488 is exactly what I've been looking for in a phone system. It gives the user the freedom of a cordless phone and the security of a corded phone. Living in an area where power outages are no rarity, that's a real plus. The sound quality on both the corded base unit and the cordless handset is crisp and clear, and the user-friendly menu walks the user step-by-step through the numerous customizable features. There's no interference with my wireless network or my two Panasonic KX-TG5622 cordless phones. One minor detractor is the lack of a lighted keypad on the base unit. On the upside, the cordless handset does come with a lighted keypad. This is definitely a five star product in my book.
I am disappointed with telephone.......2007-11-26
I cannot make it ring louder.
I cannot get the second hand set to register

Good Phone.......2007-11-03
This review is for the Uniden TRU9485 after a little over two months of use. Nice features, including the Do Not Disturb if you don't want to hear the phone ring. Answering machine has worked flawlessly. Sound quality from the speaker is fair to good. Fairly compact on the desk. The only two negatives for me would be that the unit seems flimsy due to the nearly all lightweight plastic construction and, in my opinion, the phone handset should be full size, since the only value I can see for a smaller cordless phone is for one that you carry with you when you travel. These seem to be only minor drawbacks, though. Worth a 5 rating at this point. Longevity remains to be seen.
Like everything about it.......2007-06-19
Have had this phone for about a week and just love it. It's a nice size and is easy to carry around. I bought a Panasonic 2.4mhz last year and that's nice also, but the Uniden is better. Very clear sound and I love that I can turn the ringer off. Haven't used the baby monitor yet, but it's a nice feature. Answering machine is easy to set up and I like that it beeps as well as blinks when there is a message. All in all very good value for the money.
Uniden TRU9485 cordless phone.......2007-05-07
Great phone, no complaints. Clear, very long range, battery lasts for days. Would highly recommend this phone.
Best Cordless I Ever Owned.......2007-04-11
I've had a lot of different cordless phones over the years and I must say this one is the best I've bought. The person who complained on here about the speaker phone on the handset not working or not being loud enough has an isolated problem, a defective handset, or they're deaf! Plenty of volume on the speaker handset. Along with all the other features, I would highly recommend this product.
Best ever cordless landline phone.......2007-04-10
These are the best phones I have ever owned! I actually have TRU9485-4WR, it comes with a "submersible" handset as well as three other handsets with chargers. You can add up to 9 handsets to this system. As reviewed by others, it has the awesome ability of getting your messages at the handsets, and as some others left out, you actually have FULL answering machine control from all the handsets. Includes handy "call screening" option (read manual). Great sound, including the answering machine messages. Also mentioned by other reviewers: You can copy phone books (memory dialer) to other sets & base. But you can also copy just a single entry to other sets. A "copy to all" feature would have been nice, but it only takes a minute or less to copy to each one individually, and the intuitive menu system helps make the process easy.
Setup was quick and easy. I did read the manual, but not entirely, and I would not have to to learn most of the functions if I wanted just a simple basic setup without the phone book entries, and I would have been able to figure out how to program the date & time without the manual easily. I read it to understand some of the more complex settings, and how to open the phone book. You open the phone book by pressing the left 4-way button which is marked - by surface contour only, not colored - with an open book symbol. This may be the only thing you need to know from the manual! I liked all the default option selections that were active on the first powerup, except I changed the 1 minute max time per message to 4 - but I did change the two-digit answering machine security code.
One serious drawback on this system for some people might be it's answering machine limitations: 12 minutes maximum and either 1 (default) or 4 minutes per message limit. But I have not seen more than 15 minutes max total on a digital answering system & cordless handset package, so this is pretty much "on-par" with the rest at this date, I will not remove a star rating for this, but I would if it were 10 stars max.
Also, you probably don't want to wall-mount this system, the base must remain horizontal.
I had a hard time deciding on this purchase because I LOVE to use a headset a lot and want a "belt" clip on my handset, and many packages did not advertise the clip on the package. The 9400 series packages have the clips, but I only noticed it written on the bottom of the package, where I did not look the first time.
I replaced our AT&T 1256 system with this Uniden set. Our AT&T system made an annoying loud "beep" at irregular intervals on the other end, and we would miss just a syllable of the conversation at our end (we did not hear the beep). We did not notice until the warranty was expired. It took us years to finally afford to replace our cordless system. This Uniden set is sooo much better.
Pros:
Full answering machine control, with voice HELP features that tell you what to dial to do what, at all the handsets & call-ins (with code)!
Great sound quality of conversations.
Great sound volume.
Great sound quality of (digital) messages.
Wireless 5.8 GHz does not interfere with 802.11 a, b, g, etc. wireless networks.
Intuitive menus.
Lighted keyboards & LCD backlights help you in dark rooms.
Message waiting flashing LED visible at all handsets.
Entire base LCD flashes when there is a new message.
Great redial: Three-sets of last number dialed remain in memory for re-dial.
Can copy phone books & single phone book entrys to other units & base.
Can copy current number incoming to phone book*.
Room monitor - "Baby monitor" feature, and can set handset to private to disable.
Speakerphone: Other reviewers say it works great - I haven't tryed it.
Conference calling: Multiple handsets all on the group (call) conversation at once.
Headset jack & belt clip included.
Intercom & handset finder.
Intercom will operate without base, directly between handsets.
Instant record of conversations - but it uses message time and beeps at both ends (legally required).
Cons (all these are very minor, unless you need a lot of answering machine message time):
Only 12 minutes of answering machine message time, and only 1 or 4 minute per message limits possible.
Only two-digit answering machine security code.
Range might be a bit low for large houses, reported by other reviewers.
"Mute" label on the LCD ("softkey") is hard to read in a dark room, and the tiny print would be even harder to read for those with weak eyes, but eventually you remember where it is if you use it often.
Lighted keyboard & LCD could stay lit a bit longer.
Base needs button press before lights come on, but flashes LCD when new message.
Belt clips could be better.
*Some reviewers have complained about lack of a "1" prefix added to incoming numbers added to the phone book, but it is easy to insert a "1" there.

Best phone the money can buy.......2007-08-16
This is the best phone with excellent features like DND, 10 numbers speed dialing, 100 numbers memory, programmed nos. can be transferred to hand sets by click of a button, the hand sets automatically goes off when you put it on the base etc. etc.. The programming is very easy and logical. The message recording system has excellent features. I have tried several phones but this particular model is the "Cream of the Crop."
Much better than expected.......2007-08-11
The Intelli-sound function on speakerphone works as well as systems costing three times this price. I wanted a corded handset on the base unit for power outage (e.g. storms). I have had about five units from various manufacturers, and this is the one I am most happy with. It is dated in design for 2007...but function is greater than form here.
Excellent Solution.......2007-03-08
I replaced a Panasonic phone and various other phones in my house with just this one system. I purchased an additional handset and now I have one central solution. Reception is great and the quality is first rate. I was hesitant to purchase a 2.5 GHz system for fear of it interfering with my home wi-fi set up, but I have had no issues at all. Overall I'm pretty satisfied with this system.
Very nice little unit.......2007-01-21
I recently purchased this unit as our old answering machine died... I very much liked the fact in included a cordless handset as well as the main unit. Nice features: If you have children, it has a DND (do not disturb)button when it engage it, it shuts off the ringers for all the handsets whereever they are... this is great when everyone is hunkered down for a nap... While it comes with one handset you can expand it to 4 total. You can also check your messages from a handset or remote location outside the home. It also has a very good speaker phone. I would give it 5 stars except it would be nice if it had more than 12 minutes total recording time. Just FYI, you can get this at Staples for 69.00... While I love Amazon, this is way too pricy for this unit

I like this phone........2007-05-07
It works really well. I like the built-in answering machine.
Why can't anyone hear me on this thing?.......2007-03-21
After reading lots of good reviews, I decided to buy another cordless phone. I've never been fond of the Uniden brand and I see why. I've had the phone barely a week and I can't hear callers well and they can't hear me either. I gave it 3 stars for looks & price only.
Nice lil phone.......2007-02-08
I bought this phone to replace the Sylvania junk that ate batteries like crazy. I know there are phones now with 5 gigs,but we just didn't need that range. This phone works pefect in our house even in the basement and large backyard. A a matter of fact, this phone worked up to the corner of the block. Now that'smore than enough after all if we need distance...that's why we have our cell phones. Lastly, we have the extra handsts that work perfectly without needing a phone wall adapter,so all in all this is a nice phone.
