Uniden TRU9466 2-Line Expandable Cordless System with Dual Keypad and Call Waiting/Caller ID Reviews
We got this phone for a 79 year old man with 2 phone lines. The downside is that it does not have an answering machine, rather, it uses voicemail through the phone company to do that. The numbers are large and the display is also large so that he can see it better.
I had gotten a voip line that connected to a regular phone and wanted to allow the use of it upstairs and down. I can now call out on the voip line from anywhere in the house. Rather than wiring for it, I decided to get a two-line cordless that I could use everywhere and multiple handsets. It works great.
The only way to solve this is put a separate Uniden base station downstairs and register the downstairs handsets to that. The Uniden, however, not so good with the range. I use my computer to answer the phone (PhoneValet on the Mac), which sends the voicemail as an email with a sound file attachment, and allows me to design "push 1 for so-and-so, push 2 for so-and-so.". One of my phones is badly chafed on just the clear plate, and I have no idea why. Do yourself a favor and either keep the clear packing cellophane over the window to protect it, or apply clear packing tape or something over it so this doesn't happen. My base station sits in between my laptop and my desktop computers, with a 3rd computer nearby (and pretty soon a fourth), and an 802.11n wireless network hub about two feet away. Except for the range problem the Uniden is a beautiful little phone, and very well designed programatically. The Uniden I bought allows up to 9 handsets plus base station (10 total).
The base is in the same location, and the handsets in the same room or down the hall work okay, but downstairs the handsets have an irregular static noise, like what you might hear if you rubbed the microphone across your hair. But I wish it had the range and clarity that the Panasonic did. It also allows you to page all other stations simultaneously the Panasonic forces you to page one at a time. Sometimes it goes away, but when you first start talking on the phone it's hard to hear anyone. If you walk upstairs the signal gets better. Just place the unregistered handset in the base for a few seconds, it beeps, your done. The Uniden also has a more intuitive phone book feature (you can access a person's name faster), and it has a one-button speed dial for up to 10 people which the Panasonic doesn't have. I could hear clearly on all handsets, even outside.
I do not want an answering machine, and do not want to pay for the hardware, so this was good. The Panasonic had no problem with this at all.
This Uniden model does not have a built-in answering machine; whereas the Panasonic did. However, the Panasonic had exceptional range.
I thought it was goo, so I tried cleaning it, but it seems to have been lightly surface-damaged, so now the LCD is slightly fuzzy.
I bought the Uniden TRU9466 2-line to replace my older Panasonic KX-TG6500 2-line. One more drawback I just discovered with the Uniden: the clear plastic plate you look through for the LCD screen is very easily marred and scratched.
The reason was because my Panasonic would only allow up to three extra handsets plus the base station (4 total) which isn't enough. Registering a handset has never been easier.
I purchased this Uniden 2-line cordless to use with a VOIP system to replace my antiquated office phone system. In two weeks of implementation, I have had no problems with this system. In initial testing of the system, I did find that at the extremes of distance from the base within my office there was a hair of static interference but not an intolerable amount. I added 2 additional extension handsets. The feature set fulfills all of my needs.
It was a good decision as it works perfectly well with the voip and never have to worry about what line is calling just pick up the phone and answer or dial even if someone is on the other line. I have viatalk and their two line voip and never know which line will be ringing in and made it a problem. I am totally satisfied. So I found this phone system and after reviewing the reviews and specs I decided on it.
