Digital camera reviews of Uniden DXAI8560-2 5.8 GHz Digital Caller ID Cordless Phone with One Extra Handset/Cradle
Digital camera Review: Basic features missing, and phone dies quickly
Summary: 3 Stars
I have no problems with the performance of the phones. Sound quality and distance are fine.
What I did not realize until too late was:
1. You cannot use both phones at once. This is really surprising and annoying when two people want to be on a conversation.
2. There is no "mute" feature, neither when on handset nor on speakerphone. This is a significant problem when on a long conference call where you are mostly listening in.
It looks so much like my other Uniden cordless set (a two-line model) that I assumed it also had these same, basic features.
Update 1 month later: Both handsets now die at random during phone calls. I've just thrown the phones out. They are clearly inferior to other Uniden phones I've had. I've replaced this model with Uniden TRU9485.
I'd change the rating to one star, but apparently one cannot edit the star # in an existing review.

About Uniden 5.8GHz phones
Uniden 5.8GHz phones operate on the higher end of the frequency spectrum, providing greater range and less interference than standard 2.4GHz phones. Uniden 5.8GHz digital FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) technology secures privacy while providing longer range and crystal clear sound. 5.8GHz frequencies often escape most wireless interference, including most Wi-Fi networks, resulting in a cleaner and clearer signal, and unlike many other 5.8GHz phones, Uniden TRU series phones both transmit and receive in 5.8GHz.
The DXAI8560-2 is backed by a one-year limited warranty.
