poor sound quality.......2007-12-10
HAd the phone for 2 weeks prior to returning it. Worked as advertized, but the past reviewer who commented on the loud tone of your own voice was right on. When you speak into the phone, your voice shouts into your ear. The only way to comfortably speak into the phone was to hold the mouthpiece well away from your mouth. Also lacks a speakerphone (which many in this price range have).
great phone great price.......2007-12-01
This is a great set for under $40 shipped. The sound quality is great, the phones are sleek looking, and the caller ID screens are definitely a plus. We're extremely pleased with our purchase and will be using these phones for some time to come.
LOW END.......2007-11-30
THIS PHONE HAS BASIC FEATURES AND IS WORTH THE MONEY. BUT I HAVE PROBLEMS "LOSING" MESSAGES. LETS SAY YOU ARE SCREENING YOUR CALLS AND YOU HEAR YOUR FRIEND LEAVE A MESSAGE, THE LED SAYS 1 MESSAGE, YOU PUSH PLAY AND YOU GET TO HEAR A MESSAGE FROM SOMEONE WHO HAD CALLED EARLIER. NOW YOU WAIT, YOU RECEIVE A NEW CALL AND THEY LEAVE A MESSAGE, BUT WHEN YOU PUSH PLAY, YOU GET TO HEAR THE PREVIOUS MESSAGE YOUR FRIEND LEFT. LOL I CALLED AND WAS TOLD THAT SOMETIMES THE DIGITAL RECORDER NEEDS TO BE RESET, SO YOU HAVE TO UNPLUG AND RE-PLUG YOUR PHONE. THIS IS ONLY 3 WEEKS OLD....
unsatisfactory.......2007-11-28
Would not buy this phone again, reception is poor and overall quality is
not very good
Hello!.......2007-10-17
I have been a fan of Motorola for years. I liked the look of this and the price was right on for what you get. My only complaint is the address book only holds 10 phone numbers. The hand set holds another 10 so you've got 20 total if you can remember which phone has which numbers. Other than that it performs well with the other features. The ring is somewhat annoying but it does get your attention. Luckily I have a cell phone(Motorola) with all the numbers I need.

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

OK for the price. .......2007-12-11
I can't really complain too much since it was a cheap phone.
The clarity of a more expensive phone is missing, but it's just
an extension for the kitchen, nothing too demanding.
Basically, it's disposable.
Cuts off people leaving messages, and you can't hear them!.......2007-12-07
I bought one of these and bought my Mom one; they both have the same problems. When playing messages that people left, you strain to hear them, even with the volume turned up to the max. It also cuts people off if they aren't talking loud enough. Was this phone designed by someone WHO TALKS REALLY LOUD ALL THE TIME?
Love this phone! Fits my needs at a great price!.......2007-11-20
I love this phone! Let me mention the main reasons why I love this phone~ first, you can turn the ringer off (a must with an infant or the phone rings the second baby falls asleep). Second, you can still use the page feature and find the phone when the ringer is off (a must with a baby who toddles off with the phone or stuffs it in the couch cushions)! The last feature that makes me love this phone is that you can delete a single message at a time from the answering machine (a must with a husband who doesn't listen to his messages).
I know these sound like simple features but not all phones offer these! They offer a lot of other bells and whistles but forget the basics.
The caller ID works great, the reception is super, doesn't interfere with my cell phone or DSL, incoming messages record and playback clearly.
The one problem I recently ran into was a problem where the phone would beep and indicate a low battery. I'd set it back in the base to charge but no matter how long it was there, the phone would beep during use and indicate a low battery~ and often died in the middle of calls.
I replaced the battery but still had the same problem. An email to customer service told me that the phone needed to be reset. Pull out the battery and unplug the phone for 5 minutes and it's as good as new!
Wish I'd emailed them before I paid for the new battery! :)
Super duper priced at $19.99 too!!
Very Good, Reliable, Simple to use Telephone.......2007-10-02
I like the size and shape of this phone. It has a good answering machine, and is simple to set up, and a great value for the price.
Our first brand new cordless phone with digital answering system.......2007-07-14
Yes, we were excited about getting this product and after programming it with ease, we found that it works great and we are very happy with it. It's exactly what we expected and for that I am pleased.

Customer Reviews:
Another good one by Uniden.......2007-11-04
After my last Uniden died, I went out and bought a v-tech. It cost more (which in turn should have meant it WAS BETTER, right? wrong.) plus it stated right on the front of the box, "recommended for wifi"-and as a vonage user, that was awesome. I plug it in and I can't hear the person on the other end, they can't hear me. I check my phone line with my phone company, they run a test, I go through all of this hassle. I call the store I bought it from, and I can't return it. After all this I came online to my very trustworthy Amazon seller, and I purchased another Uniden...and I will forever on.
The phone itself is very simplistic, not complicated at all. It has the regular features we use everyday (called ID, call waiting ID, voicemail, speed dial) and even some we don't (memos- records up to 10 minutes of any conversation: please read the fine print on this one though guys!)
Overall I just love the phone. Uniden has never let me down in the past, it's clear, has many options, and is a great product.
Exactly what I expected.......2007-09-10
This phone works great. Exactly as described. If you don't need anything fancy, this is the phone for you.
Good but not good enough.......2007-05-31
One of the most important features for me in a telephone is that it must have speakerphone capability, since I'm using it for hours at a stretch, attending meetings and conference calls. I purchased this phone because the speaker phone was one of its listed capabilities, but to my surprise, it just didn't have it :(. Wrong advertisement perhaps. Anyhow, with that exception, the phone performs great otherwise. If speakerphone is a must then this is not for you. That is why I give it 3 stars - it would be a 5 otherwise...

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.

Suffers from fade-out. .......2007-09-09
We bought this phone because it supposedly wouldn't suffer from interference from our home wireless system. It didn't - but it did suffer from fade-out, even if you were not moving. Called Gizmosforlife to enquire about the return policy and we're still awaiting an answer. Also sent them an e-mail and I'm awaiting a reply to that also.
Finally a Keeper! Super-Expandable, Attractive, Amazing Range.......2007-06-10
We have a large multi-building home with an ailing old intercom-phone system from 20 years ago ($5000 then). A wireless system would be ideal. I have purchased many systems less than 6.0 and had to return them because of poor range or bad answering machine functions. I am happy to report that this system exceeds our expectations.
I don't mean to confuse you, and it probably does not matter to you, but I purchased this system because it can have multi-modules, which means that you can setup another module on the same line and expand the system with another system. You can have 4 modules, and 6 phones per module, so you can have 24 wireless phones on one line! The intercom would only work on its own module I believe. There are two modules or systems you can buy, one has an answering machine and the other does not. Make sure you get the correct one! They are the same thing except for the answering thing.
Now back to exceeding expectations, the range is much better than any earlier system, so I won't need more modules anyway. I can take the phone all the way to the beach and get clear reception. The system is very very easy to install, and my hard of hearing daughter can hear the rings and the conversation crystal-clear. Also, the units are very attractive and compact, so it can fit in your pocket easily. There are more great things about this phone, but enough rambling from me for now. Thanks Uniden!!!
Great phone!.......2007-05-07
After reading numerous reviews and doing a fair amount of research I bought this phone over several other DECT systems. The sound is crystal clear and the range is much better than any cordless phone I've ever owned. Best thing is that we can run our Wi-Fi system AND the phone system without any interference!
Uniden Dect 1080 6.0.......2007-04-11
Purchased 1 base unit with 5 handset and installed system two weeks ago. The cordless is clear and no interference. One base supports 6 handset and only one telephone outlet is needed for the base unit. All handsets accessing the telephone line through the base unit(much like a CPU). Handset may be programmed to 2 separate base units. This allowed for privacy and no other handset may pickup the line as long as you are using your handset. Any handset may access voice mail allowing the base unit to be located in any room. One handset was returned and exchanged because of charging problem, but the other 4 handsets is fine.
Bravo, Uniden!.......2007-03-27
I just use it for 1 week - till now I'm VERY satisfied: sound and the range are just great, almost no interference or static (much better than Motorola 2.4 Hz I used before); nice, slick and intuitive design; a lot of useful features. The answering machine really does have british accent - and I think it is cool; it looks and feels very good, too! I was able to figure out most of the features without even looking into the Manual (which is not superb). If you have DSL, do not forget to use the filters!!! Altogether, for now it is - 4.5 stars (reliability leaves to be seen, otherwise - 5 stars). Thank you to other people for their reviews of this product - I bought it based that.
Pros: sound; range; look and feel.
Cons:It looks like there is a little glitch with AM in certain mode
