Pretty good phone for my home office.......2007-12-31
I work form a home office and have both my home line and my office line though this phone. It is true that the phone does not stay on the last line used, if you want to use line 2 you must first choose the 'L2' button. It is also true that the battery that came with my remote handset would not hold a charge and require constant charging. I purchased two new batteries (one for the handset and one for the base unit) and thess new batteries hold a charge much longer and the battery in the base unit keeps the phone working even in a power outage. As for the answering system cutting off messages, I don't use the answering machine option I use Voicemail from my provider so I have not experienced that problem. It has a lot of nice features including my personal favorite, call waiting caller id. I use it with a headset and it's really userfriendly (this also eliminates any concern over what line you are using since you have to push buttons anyway). I have been using this phone for over three years and I'm very satisfied.
The single most import feature is call quality and it is exceptional. One thing I don't see in may of these reviews is a comment about the price and that has to be a consideration when shopping for anything. If the phone cost $400.00 it might only get 3 stars but at this price point and with all the features you get who can complain? At this price I have to give it 5 stars.
partially working phone.......2007-11-22
We had to return this phone because the answering function worked on line 2 but not line 1
Nice Phone.......2007-09-06
I like this phone a lot. I use it for my business.I use a headset, so there is a jack on both the base and cordless unit. The only thing I DON'T like is the manual doesn't exlain things clearly and getting a tech support person is impossible. Its ALL menu's, NO option for a LIVE person, so if you buy this phone and neec tech support or even to help set it up as I had to, click option 1 then option 2 (to purchase a phone) and ask for a tech support person, you are connected right away.
Sleek phone - Software Bugs.......2006-09-09
- I woke up one morning to find my two cordless units with message "Searching for Base"
- On the base unit, I hit the DEREGISTER ALL option
- The display unit of the answering base shows the following message:
E 2562
M51 S51 FDXI

All keys are totally dysfunctional. I tried plugging into a different location after 5 minute gaps and all other options.
CUSTOMER SERVICE RESPONSE:
They asked me to try plugging the answering machine base into other locations around the house after removing batteries from the cordless units.
Unfortunately I barely ran out of warranty to take advantage of the warranty replacement process.
Please advise if there is a fix for this.
I obviously misspent $199 + $75 for the second cordless unit.
Expected better from AT&T.......2006-04-25
I actually find the sound quality and range pretty good, but I think the system is designed poorly. I can't tell you how many times I have been on the phone and wanted to scroll through my caller ID to get a number for someone I was talking to. No dice, it won't do that. There are a number of issues like that. I can't program it to prefer line 2 to make calls. You may think this is a not a big deal, except I don't like to reveal the line 1 number to my clients via there caller ID. So there went my private line.
Also the belt clip is worthless and after what seemed like hours on the customer support line they want to charge me $5.00 to replace it even though the phone is still under warranty. I'll try a different brand next time.

Customer Reviews:
This is a terrible phone.......2007-02-24
I've had this phone replaced by VTech twice. The problem is that you can't hear on it for all the static. It works fine for about a month then the static starts. Before that the sound gets weaker and fainter each time you talk. My third phone also failed. I couldn't hang up! It's a terrible phone. I bought it because it has all the features I need. So what, if you can't hear. I want a refund!
Amazing Phone.......2006-07-05
I have 3 of these in my house and I love them. I have a fax line setup up as one line and a phone line on the other. I can make calls from eather of the lines using the same headset. I found it to be an amazing product. Amazon comes through once again at a great bargain for a quality product.
Best Two Line Cordless on the Market.......2005-09-06
I have been using this particular handset for about a year and a half now and just bought another one. This is my third. I have a small chain of wireless cell phone stores and now have one in each store. The phone is great because it is durable and has a speaker phone (which is good for long hold times when calling
customer care!) I have gone through numerous other phones and have found this one is the best for my needs.
Not What Expected!!!.......2005-06-17
I bought two of these phones ,after a month in one phone i had problems like ,Static And button problem, and in the other one i am having the battery problem, i have to keep the handset on the base all the time.
not worth spending $$$ for this Cheap phone,
definitly not what expected.
You get what you pay for.......2004-12-28
I have had this phone for about a year and a half. It's not a bad phone, works solidly, and you can't beat the price. Would I get it now? Definitely not. My issues with this phone:
1) Button response is slow (Can't press "on" and immediately dial a number, for instance).
2) No voice mail indicator.
3) No headset speakerphone.
4) Unit ships with NiCd battery, which dies faster than you can sneeze. I bought a NiMH battery from Staples and it's been fine ever since.
5) Looks aren't as nice as some other phones, it's also a bit larger and heavier than most.
6) Range could be better.
Product Description
The UX-CD600 is an expandable "2-Line" Communications Center that offers features that will integrate your home or office communications. This model provides a plain paper fax, copier, 2-line digital 2.4 GHz cordless phone, corded phone, and a digital answering system with 8 private voice mailboxes. The expandable 2-line system lets the user add up to 7 additional cordless 2.4 GHz handsets. Additionally, the new auto attendant feature automatically answers, screens & transfers calls, freeing up your time for business.
Amazon.com Product Description
Consolidation is the name of the game with the Sharp UX-CD600 communications center. The center has a fax machine, copying capabilities, a two-line multi-user expandable cordless phone system, and built-in answering machine--all your communication needs rolled into one.
The fax machine has a 14,400 bps (approximately 6 seconds per page) modem speed and a 448 KB memory, which stores up to 24 pages of incoming faxes. A paper input of up to 50 pages is accompanied by a 10-page automatic document feeder, which can handle documents up to legal size. The copier is capable of making up to 99 copies at a time, with resolutions of up 392 lines/inch.
A corded phone is included on the base. A cordless handset and remote charger base (to which you can add up to seven, for a total of eight) can be placed anywhere you have an AC outlet. This 2.4 GHz phone utilizes digital spread spectrum technology to deliver a clear, easily intelligible signal and increased range. You get up to 8 hours of talk time (up to 2 days on standby), and a low-battery indicator lets you know when you need to return the phone to its cradle for recharging.
The UX-CD600 supports caller ID with call waiting (requires subscription through your phone company) and comes with a digital duplex speakerphone on the base for hands-free communication. The built-in answering machine has up to 20 minutes of recording time and eight separate mailboxes, so you can assign a different one to everyone in the house. Sharp provides a limited 90-day warranty on both parts and labor.

Customer Reviews:
not a quality machine.......2006-06-21
I purchased this machine for our new office because it offered a two-line phone, fax and 8 voice mailboxes. It was the only system I found that had more than three or four mailboxes. The problems we have with the machine are buzzing on the outgoing message, poor sound quality, flimsy fax film that split the first week we used it, and now the additional cordless phone that came with it stopped working. We tried a different (new) phone and that won't work either. The machine clicks when the cordless goes on, but we can't get a dial tone. Sharp said we were past warranty (90 days, I think) so we're out of luck. I sure wouldn't spend money to fix this terrible machine.
Excellent product for our needs.......2006-04-19
While the unit does have all the "features" noted by others, it also has all the features of $10,000 PBX systems, albeit for a max of 8 users.
In our case, we don't use the phoneset at the main unit, so it's quality is irrelevant. Nor do we fax much; almost everything happens via email today. And we don't need 2 separate greetings because this is for one small business, not shared business/home as I suspect was the case with the previous reviewer.
We like that it routes incoming calls to a specific user (press 1 for jane, 2 for john...) which will ring only that users' handset and roll over to that users' mailbox if unanswered.
It supports both a shared and personal phone books of commonly dialed numbers. We dedicate line 1 to incoming calls and line 2 is for outgoing calls, faxes, and is shared with a DSL internet connection. You can download the manual from Sharp and I think you'll be amazed by all the features for remote access, etc. We don't use most of them in favor of email, but if you bought these in a Centrex System (hosted at your phone co.) or a PBX (device in your office) system, you'd pay $10,000 or more (and perhaps another $5,000 more to install the PBX). Because the phonesets are all wireless, the installation was trivial.
We bought this new with 6 phonesets for just about $200. It would have been a good deal at full retail.
Very disappointing.......2005-06-01
This was meant to be a replacement for a combo two-line phone/answering machine. The corded phone is practically unusuable due to poor sound quality and resonance, while the answering machine provides eight mailboxes but, in a baffling move, does not allow you to have different messages for each of the two lines. The display does not show what line calls are coming in on, and, oddly, also does not show the caller ID information when the phone rings, though you can get it later! The fax tends to get confused and when someone pauses in their message sends out fax recognition signals. Add to that the expensive ribbons with low capacity and you have a package that's unsuitable for many users. It's fine as a fax but don't fool yourself, the built in phone isn't meant to be used as such.
FAX BLAST UPDATE - returned this item.......2005-02-06
I was just about to order this based on FAX BLAST's review, when I checked his other review, which states that he returned THIS ITEM because it seemed like a toy. Thought this update would give fuller picture.
Great machine except for two setbacks........2004-10-16
I have been searching for a fax machine such as this for a decade. Small, lightweight and loaded with features. From the moment I opened the box I was in love with the UXCD600. The handset was sleek, the functions and features were awsome, and the menus were very user friendly. Setup was a breeze and I rarely had to reference the manual.
The handset also gets great range. I was about 200 feet from my home and it was still a clear and connected conversation.
I would have rated this machine a 5 star, however it has one feature that I do not particularly enjoy. When you receive a fax (unlike most fax machines) the faxes are received face down in the document tray. Many times passing by the machine I didnt notice I had a fax until I turn over the sheets of paper to read the documents. I dont know if this was an oversight on Sharp's part, but it sucks. I've had many fax machines prior and all the faxes are received with the documents side facing up in the tray.
The other setback is that the paper tray only holds 50 sheets of paper. Pretty low compared to some other units I have used.
Overall good machine. If I could do it over again, I would have still purchased this unit.
