Digital camera reviews of Uniden TRU9460 5.8 GHz Expandable Compact Cordless Telephone with Call Waiting and Caller ID
Digital camera Review: Good phone - plenty of features
Summary: 4 Stars
I have two complaints. First the copy phone book feature is a bit awkward and not quite what I expected. Additionally, it would have been nice to update the phone book automatically any time a given phone added an entry.
Second, though the base package I found everywhere: Sams, Best Buys, etc. etc. the individual expansion phones I could only find on Amazon. Relative to the package deal, the individual phones are priced higher than I thought they should be.
Some callers complained about range. Range of operation to me was OK. As an Engineer I somewhat understand your frustration, but range is effected by a lot of factors. If possible you could try relocating your base station.
Digital camera Review: Good phone with some niggles
Summary: 4 Stars
As far as I can tell, this is just a cosmetic change from the previous range of 5.8Ghz phones from Uniden - I already have that with the answerphone integrated and it was the reason for my purchase. In hindsight, I wish I had purchased the more expensive unit with integrated answering machine and speakerphone on the base unit as well (see "Bad" below).
Good:
1. Speakerphone function of the handset is excellent. The voice quality is great. This is one of the main reasons for buying this phone.
2. It's a 5.8Ghz spectrum phone, which means it doesn't clash with my wireless network like 2.4Ghz does.
3. It looks good.
Bad:
1. This is why it only gets four stars: When it is docked in the charging cradle you can't use it. This is extremely irritating especially if I use the handset heavily and deplete the battery. I have to plan when to cradle the phone in order to make sure it keeps an adequate charge. This might not be a problem if you keep the phone base nearby, but mine is in an attic office with my VOIP box and Internet connection.
2. Doesn't work very well with a headset. This seems to be a common problem with wireless phone handsets - when you plug a headset in people can barely hear you. I had to purchase a Plantronics headset with an amplified microphone in order to get a working solution.
Update: I purchased an additional handset for the phone - model number TCX905. My major niggle is now moot, as I can charge one handset while the other is in use. An additional bonus is that the handset can also be registered with the other line in the house if I need to use it with that phone. It's an older Uniden phone but I'm still able to use the newer handset with it. All in all I would recommend Undiden to anybody looking for an attractive handset, good feature set and good sound quality.
Digital camera Review: Good phone!
Summary: 4 Stars
This was very easy to intigrate with the main phone. Programming phone numbers was also easy. I now have three of them.Digital camera Review: Good phone, terrible instructions
Summary: 3 Stars
I already owned Uniden's 2 phone expandable phone system and wanted an additional extension. While this phone works, it really isn't the right phone for this purpose, but I had to call Uniden after I bought the phone to figure that out. I couldn't match the instructions to the phone; the phone just would not do what the manual said it should do. Tech support admitted that the method to register the phone to the base was different than what was printed in the manual, and that there is another phone that would have suited my needs better. Oh well, in the end it works and the range is pretty good, perhaps 150' and the clarity is excellent for a cordless phone.Digital camera Review: Great Fetures but the older phone model had less static
Summary: 4 Stars
I replaced my old phone by the same manufacturer with this one. This has more feature and even a room monitor if you have the base unit. The only thing I don't like is that there is no channel search feature. I live in an area where a lot of interference can occur. I sometime have to hang up on a call and call beck to resolve the issue. Over all it is a good phone with mute, redial, programmable ring tones and even gives the date and time and automatically updates for Daylight Savings Time. I don't like how you try to call a number back in a different area code but the phone will not allow you to insert a 1 and then dial. You have to write the number down and manually enter 1 and the area code and number for calls our of your area code. Overall it is a nice phone.
