Uniden TRU9485-2 5.8 GHz Digital Cordless Answering System with Dual Keypad and Extra Handset Reviews
I have had this set for over a year now. One phone's screen does not display anymore and the other one, the center button is not working anymore. Sound quality is ok but this product is not built too last. What's the point of paying that much for something that does not last....
This phone has a lot of features for the price, which is why we bought it. However, it has a few major problems which make me regret the purchase.
First, the battery life on these phones is simply terrible. I have two handsets, and both of them will drain the batteries after less than two hours of talk time. Recharging takes hours and hours (probably three times as long as charging my cell phone). Also, the idle time drains the batteries, so if you just leave the phone on your desk all day, not even using it, then when a call comes in you'll just have a dead handset.
Second, there seems to be some loose wiring, which causes various glitches. Sometimes the screens flicker, other times hitting the "call" button causes the phone to shut down.
Third, the menus are not intuitive and the graphics are really bad. If someone calls you from a non-local number, and you use the caller ID feature to call them back, the call will fail because the phone doesn't put a "1" before the area code. So you have the actually write the number on the caller ID down, then add the 1+area code and phone number. How stupid is that??
There are lots of little things about these phones that are like that. They seem cheaply made and designed. I got a much better Panasonic set for my parents for similar price.
I am very disappointed and feel like I have wasted money. We were looking for a multiple handset phone because of having Vonage. I did a bunch of research and ended up getting this phone. Well about 6 months into having these phones the selection button in the middle which controls the Caller ID Review stopped working. Not just on one of our handsets, but on all but one of our FIVE handsets. They didn't all stop at the same time, but one by one the buttons stopped working. RIDICULOUS! Like a previous reviewer said the only way they could review Caller ID was from the base- incredibly inconvenient! Then the batteries stopped holding a charge for more than an hour after only a year. It is constantly doing this Random Out of Range message even when we are right next to the base. All my handsets are so messed up and oddly in many of the same ways and also many different ways. So I got a total of a years use of of this group of phones. I would not buy these again and will shy away from Uniden!
We have the Uniden cordless phone, and recently had some problems with the battery lasting less than a day on a charge. Consequently, I tried to call customer service, however Uniden only offers email customer service. I finally found a Texas number for them where one has to pay to call them
This is a far cry from Panasonic or Sony which both offer free, toll-free support. Apparently, Uniden is too cheap to offer a toll-free support number, and they want you to pay for the phone call. To add insult to injury, when I did finally call their pay support number, I had to wait twenty minutes for someone to answer. Simply pathetic. I would avoid this company. Apparently Uniden does not want to put any money towards customers, so why should customers pay for their phones?
Received phone system really super fast, just as described, great communication A+. Great clarity, phone is just what I was looking for.
