UNIDEN DECT 6.0 CORDLES ANS SYST 3 HANDST *NIC* - Answering System/Combo - 3 handsets ( DECT3080-3 ) Reviews
I would have ordered it online but the price and the ability to take it back to a Brick and Mortar was ideal incase it was not up to my liking. It sounded like they were in the room with me. I picked up this phone at Sams for $89. I set the time on one phone and that trickled out to the other two handsets. While there was nothing wrong with my old cordless panasonic phone, I decided it was time to bring the new wireless telephone technology into my house.
As another reviewew mentioned, the caller ID does not display what is in the address book on the phone. I setup the phones to charge overnight and programmed them all this morning. That was a nice suprise.
So far I really like the phones. I have the base unit plugged into the wall in the bedroom and one handset in the living room and the other in my office/mancave. I give is a 5.
There was no indication that the call would drop at all. I just called my parents and the voice quality was superb. I also like the ability to program numbers into the address book and being able to beam them to the other handsets.
In addition the 3080 series has a big problem with dropped calls if you look on the internet and yet the troubleshooting page at uniden doesn't list this for the 3080. The phone will disconnect with an "out of range" message every few minutes which is absolutely maddening and completely unusable. Run far and fast from this phone. Uniden support is a total joke and I have yet to be able to talk to a person. This thing is great except for the constant dropped calls. Based on a wonderful experience with my last Uniden phone I bought this latest, greatest version.
* a mix of corded and cordless phones which allow internal paging between all. * Build a wireless repeater for hard to reach places or allow 2 bases to be used yet still allow for handsets paired to different base stations to talk to one another - Better yet, allow base stations to operate in a mesh network configuration. The phones have decent quality speaker phones and the ability to name handsets like "kitchen", "master bedroom" which is why I purchased the Uniden over the Panasonic phones which don't allow this. To sum it all up, DECT technology is great for those experiencing WIFI clicking and other interference. * Have a privacy feature which notifies the caller if another handset is picked up (Sanyo does this). I purchased the 4 handset model of this system for a rather large house (3500 sq ft) - why else would you require 4 handsets. The DECT technology definitely remedied the interference issue.
I'd pay upwards of $500 for a system which would allow me to do most of the above and I am sure others would too. Unfortunately all 4 handsets beep at the same time making it rather difficult to find the one I am after. The base unit is centrally located yet the handsets are out of range once I reach 3 of the bedrooms (second floor) and virtually anywhere in the basement. At first, I thought it was a pretty good system which had most of the features I was looking for. * Allow assigning of charging cradles to a handset with a find feature which causes a single handset to ring, not all.
Another annoying feature (which I believe is the case with most wireless systems) is the inability to find one handset missing from the base. This unit was to replace a wifi interference ridden 2.8 ghz system. So everything was good so far. For example, if I am in the kitchen and the handset is missing, if I press the "find" button I would assume the kitchen handset would beep. However, at least with this system, if you have a fairly large house, you'll want to ensure wherever you purchase it has a good return policy because mine is going back. My ideal phone system would consist of:. .
* Allow friendly naming of handsets such as "kitchen", "den" etc. Unfortunately after a bit of use, I encountered the same issues many others are having - dropped calls and out of range issues. * Expandability up to 6 handsets. If any telephone manufacturers are reading this, the first to create a system with the following features will be able to command a good premium for these units. * High quality speakerphones. I do live in a wooden framed brick house so it's far from a concrete bunker in which case I would expect to have wireless issues. * allow paging over speakerphone so if I am in the kitchen, I can remotely enable all speakerphones in the system and speak over them.
Or, if there are other buttons beneath this row, they look or feel very different or are spaced further down on the phone. -I have not had ANY drop out issues reported by others. I would be curious to see how others would have rated the phone if that issue were taken out of the equation. This is my first Uniden product. Every other phone I have owned has the * key, 0 button and # key on the bottom. -The answering machine recorder does not cut off when you pick up a phone that is not part of the Uniden system. -If you can live with the "extra" row of buttons at the bottom of the handset and frequent need to delete "messages" of you talking to someone else on the answering machine, this is really a great looking and great performing telephone system.
This makes it difficult to see who is calling until the handset is lifted off the charger and activates the back light. -Ability to check your messages from any handset. The UGLY:. Uniden should have made this row a different size or spaced it further down on the handset. I have used this telephone system for over 2 months. -I have two least favorite attributes of this phone system:.
-No use of speaker phone with intercom. -No talking Calling ID (though I have usually turned that feature off on my Panasonic phones because it gets annoying). -Organized menu interface and button icons. -Price.
When a telephone number has contains a zero (which is usually the button found on bottom center of a handset), it is too easy to hit the MUTE button instead since this is the bottom center button on this handset. This extra row of buttons is for redial, mute and speaker phone. The BAD:. I'm not sure if there is a phone system that does this, but it would be a great feature (like a quick & easy baby monitor). -The handset will not turn on the back light of the display until it is taken off the charger. Overall, I would recommend it without hesitation. For example, if someone is calling and you pick up another phone after several rings (a Panasonic phone on the same line for example) after the answering machine has already picked up, it will not cut off the answering machine recorder.
This takes some acclimation. -There is the "extra" bottom row of buttons on the handset that have the same look and feel as the number buttons (This is the reason for the 4 star rating). -Only a 2 digit code for answering machine message retrieval.not that secure. -Ability to add 3 extra handsets (6 total) simply by dropping them in the base for 5-10 seconds.
-The handset volume and speaker phone volume are very audible; however, I do tend to use the highest setting on both. -Ability to customize the name of each handset for intercom ease-of-use. -Speakerphone feature on each handset.
It would be nice if there were a louder setting but I doubt anyone would complain the volume is not high enough. -Multiple ringers. -Stylish design. This phone has another row of buttons directly beneath * key, 0 button and # key. The GOOD:. I would assume that there may have been an early production line issue. -Ability to send your address book entries to each of your handsets without re-entering them. I have not had ANY drop-outs or "Out-Of-Range" errors that others have reported.
-Lightweight handsets. -Ability to page all handsets via intercom at once or one at a time.
-Terrific sound quality. I have categorized my review features into Good, Bad and Ugly.
SUMMARY:. -Message indicator light on each handset.
You then need to manually delete a "message" of you talking to the person on the answering machine. I have used mostly Panasonic telephone systems in the past.
The colors can be softened or made bright for the viewing that you like best. After talking with customer service I decided to move my wireless router about 6' away from the phone's main base. We had 'out of range' errors, lost signals and dropped calls daily. There are at least 3 wallpapers to choose from, too. That solved my problem; we haven't lost a phone call since. I attach the clip to my shirt, turn on the speakerphone and my hands are free to crochet, type or leave my pets in/out, well, you get the idea. We like the customizable features for each handset, and have given each one their own name, color and ringer tone. That was getting old.
*The handsets need to be charged 15-20 hours before you can use them. Each handset comes with its own belt clip. I wish I could turn the volume up a little, but I don't have any problems hearing the conversations. I just deleted the first review I did on this phone. Other than that, we love these phones now that we don't lose any of our phone calls.
