4 out of 5 stars 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.

4 out of 5 stars 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.

4 out of 5 stars 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.

5 out of 5 stars 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.

1 out of 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

4 out of 5 stars 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.

1 out of 5 stars 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
May 15, 2002
14:12:06

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.

2 out of 5 stars 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.

1 out of 5 stars Complete piece of S***.......2006-04-24

Sound quality is poor more than about 20' away. I had to the move the base to the center of the house (rather than the kitchen where we wanted it) to get it to work at all. I had to return a unit. Now I'm stuck with it sort of working but with clicky-popy sound. Don't buy this system.

    4 out of 5 stars A Good Phone.......2007-03-28

    I have had my phone for more than two years now, and it has served me well. The only thing I find annoying about the phone is trying to remember how to have the base page the cordless. All of the other features are easy to figure out how to use. It is not a simple phone so if you want a phone with plenty of features, this one is for you.

    2 out of 5 stars Not so great battery .......2005-12-06

    I bought this phone based on consumer report reviews and the corded phone works great but the battery in the cordless phone is terrible. The battery dies after 1 hour of conference call. Then it would take at least 8 hours to recharge again.

    I would not recommend this phone especially for business use.

    1 out of 5 stars KX-TG and KX-TC lines are defective! Read on..........2005-11-18

    I purchased the base unit (which includes one handset) and two additional handsets. They worked okay for about a month or so, then the handset started inexplicably dying. Sometimes the screen went totally blank and you would lose the call or couldn't dial. Othertimes the screen said that I was too far away from the base (even when I was literally right next to the base). So I called customer service and they said that it sounded like I needed a new battery (after a MONTH!). I actually read the directions before using the phone and I wasn't even putting the phones on the bases to recharge after every call so that the NI CD batteries wouldn't develop a memory (they don't use the better Lithium Ion batteries that do not develop a memory). So this made no sense. Anyway, I went ahead and bought the batteries (for all three handsets) and that didn't solve the problem at all. I then went ahead and purchased another handset. Again, no problems for a month and then the same issue. Customer service issued remanufactured phones (4 handsets) and in about a month to 8 weeks all were exactly the same.

    I know I wasn't doing anything wrong to cause this. I began searching the Internet and low and behold I am not alone. Apparently a law firm in New Jersey has already filed a class action law suit against Panasonic for the entire KX-TG and KX-TC cordless phone lines. Search "panasonic cordless phone class action" on google. It will be the first hit. As an attorney myself (not in any way affiliated with or even previously aware of the firm that has filed the suit), I can tell you it takes a lot of consumer complaints before a law firm decides to invest its resources in a class action suit as they are very expensive and time consuming.

    So, I've learned my lesson the hard way (although there wasn't anything I could've done differently at the time of purchase). Hopefully, my experience and research into this can prevent you from having to deal with it in the future. Panasonic was unjustly enriched in distributing such a defective product and not having the corporate decency to at least recall it and replace it with a functioning line or refunding our hard earned dollars. Very disappointing and I certainly will not be purchasing the Panasonic brand again.

    4 out of 5 stars Panasonic KX-TG2770.......2005-11-17

    Have had total of 3 systems. Generally work well. The WORST part is the OEM NICAD battery. It is HORRIBLE. Buy the Energizer NIMH replacement on e-bay. It is MUCH better battery.

    2 out of 5 stars After a year, two batteries expired and 1 dead display.......2005-11-03

    I've had this for a year and after very light use, both handset batteries can't hold a charge and one of the cordless handset displays is dead. I've had a number of Panasonic phones, and this was a real disappointment.

    The handset batteries are famous for lousy performance - get the Energizer replacement P511 battery right away. The poor performance starts fairly quickly, so save yourself from lost calls.

    Another unexplainable thing - only 2 of the 3 mailboxes can be protected with a password, the primary one (#1) cannot.

    All-in-all, a feature-laden mediocre to low quality phone.

          1 out of 5 stars A LOUSEY PIECE OF S***.......2007-07-27

          I will always hold Motorola suspect after owning this product - the Motorola Brand is toast as far as Im concerned .. OK - so whats not to like - look at the swoopy body - 1/2 the time the phone doesnt hang up because you are never sure the phone is square on the reciever. The over priced wireless phone batteries loose their reserve power in the first 6 months - IE wireless has poor battery life - the wireless phone ringer died & I had to rely on the base station for a ringer - then finally hooray ! the base station died - no dial tone \ - now I have to go buy another - but it will not be a motorola. The range of the phone isnt that great and the wireless call quality stunk .. This two line phone was expensive as well almost twice as much as the competition ..
