Uniden Tru9280-4 5.8 Ghz 4-Handset Cordless Phone System With Answering System & Call Waiting Caller Id Reviews
Reversing these locations, putting the base in that upstairs location and a handset at the downstairs location totally fixed the problem. 2. I had a separate answering machine and two different brand cordless phones and replacing them with this Uniden system is a revelation. Placing it on the first floor of my house I found that clarity from a critical location on the 2nd floor was unacceptable. During these calls I walked around the house and yard talking and saying exactly where I was. My tests improved from marginal clarity in some locations to very good clarity when I paid attention to this detail.
The integrated feature set will make things much easier and seamless. 1. Ultimately, I have the base where I get very acceptable clarity all over the house and yard, as long as I hold the handset at the bottom. Place the base unit up high. For best clarity, hold the handset at the bottom, not the top. Playing back my cell phone messages I could determine exactly what clarity I was getting from each combination of base placement and handset location.
Placing the base in 3 prospective acceptable locations, I made calls with a handset to my cell phone, letting my cell phone take messages. I determined the best location for the base by doing some tests. The manual makes two suggestions that I endorse heartily:. Decided this Uniden cordless telephone/answering machine system is a keeper.
I can't imagine how it rates it's 5.8 Ghz since everything seems to cause interference. Steer clear of this one. It was a total disappointment and I ended up replacing it after two miserable months. I wish I had been able to read the other reviews for this product prior to purchase because believe me, they're true. The phonebook allows you to appoint ringer selections to each entry, yet there is no correlation between what is in the phonebook and what comes up on the Caller ID. And the range. Actually, it would be better with one, that way you wouldn't find yourself losing a call because you "wandered" 12 feet away from the base.
I can honestly say that I NEVER had a satisfactory call on this unit. well, let's just say it might as well have a cord. Unfortunately I bought it late one Sunday evening after my home phone broke suddenly. I purchased mine for about $85 and still feel completely ripped off.
I bought the 4 handset version for my home and discovered how bad the reception of this phone can be. I returned it after using it for 3 days. Learned after the fact that 5.8 Ghz phones have the lowest reception capability of all phone frequencies.Live and learn. I put the base unit in the livingroom and 2nd handset in my bedroom about 30 feet away through 1 wall-terrible reception. I can't leave the room without the phone starting to loose signal and start dropping out. I have the 3 handset version in an apartment and love it.
I don't understand why a 900mhz phone can have better range then a 5.4ghz phone. After that it drops calls, (Not even crackly, just drops) the phones in other rooms Never ring because their "To Far" from the base. (cleaning, TV, etc). Which is nice so you know who is calling you. Now the Cons: The Ringer is really quiet and i think should be louder then it is, even on max volume. Yet it only works good in about a 20-25 foot range from the home base. Our house is only 1500 square feet, so its pretty small.
Its hard to hear when its dead quiet, and even harder when their are noises. I have had a Cordless Expandable before and they have no issues with my small house. The menu is also easy to use, really easy to figure out. We got home and plugged them in to charge for about 16 hours. The biggest problem with this phone is the RANGE SUCKS, i mean my old Panasonic, 900mhz Uniden, 2.4 ghz and every other phone i know can beat the range of this phone with no problems.
Ok no big deal, i can deal with a quiet ringer i couldn't get that picky, because other phone was dead and we need a house phone. I Have the main unit in Kitchen, second is in my Bedroom, and last is in the sewing room. I don't need a phone that will work all the way down the block just one just covers a small 1500 square foot house. I cannot Imagine trying to get this phone to work in a bigger house. Then we finally removed the good old Panasonic phone and plugged this one in. The Features on this phone is pretty good, call waiting (Don't really use), Caller ID, you can also put up to 80 people in the phone book.
Pros, i LOVE the look of this phone, it looks nice. This phone was a BIG Disappointment, the Range is so bad, it just kills it. My Mom and I decided to get a new house phone, because our good old Trustworthy Panasonic 900Mhz phone finally gave up on us. Also i have a Uniden that still works after 7 years and it had great range for being 2.4 ghz, so i told her to go with Uniden. This was a good phone range was about full house and little bit outside. We went to Target to look and saw several cordless phones, and decided to go with this one because it was on sale for 100 dollars.
This phone is going back.
What a disappointment. It did not. The handsets are not eye-pleasing, to say the least. I did not see any improvements in the operation of my Wi-Fi network after switching from my old 2.4 GHz phone to this one. This is the first phone system of this class that I see missing wall mounting options: the shape of the unit is ideal for wall mounting, but there are no connectors. I owned decent 2.4 GHz phones for many years and was anticipating the 5.8 GHz phone to surpass them in signal quality and range. The handsets are too small and too crowded with buttons to be held between your head and your shoulder.
In fact, the sound quality is mediocre to poor, and deteriorates to crackling when, for example, the basement unit is taken to the second floor. There are also no headphone jacks and belt clips, so hands-free operation is not possible. I give it two stars rather than one because it does work somehow and was easy to setup. I bought it for the list of features and the advertised benefits of 5.8 GHz over my older 2.4GHz system. This, however, may indicate that the interference was negligible to start with. Definitely not worth the money.
