Digital camera reviews of Uniden TRU9465-2 5.8 GHz Digital Expandable Cordless Phone with Dual Keypad and Extra Handset
Digital camera Review: Cordless Phones
Summary: 4 Stars
Really liked the size, price, and features. Some of the features include the Dual Keypad, speaker phone, and Call Waiting/Caller ID. The Extra Handset is really nice. It has a speaker phone on both handsets as well as the base. This makes it really nice when you have family call and everyone in the house can hear them. I would recommend the phone system to everyone.Digital camera Review: Easy to Read
Summary: 5 Stars
It is made out of a sturdier plastic then most. I like the feel of it. Touch any button and the key pad lights up. Extremely easy to set up and so far I am very pleased with this phone. My 93 yr. old mother likes the larger buttons.Digital camera Review: Excellent Phone. Excellent Speakerphone Tips.
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the Uniden TRU9465-2 along with 4 additional handsets (for 6 total) after I returned the very expensive top of the line, all style no function- Vtech i5871. The Vtech i5871 was just a pathetic performer in everyway, and the cost for the basephone along with 5 additional handsets was over $500! Not enough time or space to even begin the list of how the Vtech fails miserably - just stay away.
The Uniden has been a breath of fresh air and an excellent performer. What the consensus of many positive Amazon reviews indicate and what Consumer Report says about this phone are true. I will only add a couple of tips. I am a bigtime speakerphone user - and it's gotta sound right. Nothing more annoying than tin can, distant cave, sounding speakerphones. This is an excellent speakerphone. Perhaps the volume through the listening speaker could be a little louder, but you can even tweak that. If you are holding the phone, cup your hand behind the rear facing speaker to reflect the sound back to you, or you can even use the belt clips and they will do the same thing to a lesser extent. But as I said, the volume (as is) really isn't a problem.
TIP: HOW YOU SOUND TO OTHERS is the most important thing for me. Here is a speakerphone tip for any phone and it comes from a lot of testing to cellphone voicemail, etc. Most handsets today are self-standing, but it is this very position that can degrade your voice because of the reflection of the surface that it is standing on. Wood is the worst for creating echo and bounce back to the microphone (think a speaker box). So if you set this phone on your desk to talk on speakerphone, simply put it on top of a book to soften reflection. Or put the phone on it's back and have the microphone facing up in the air. The best way is to hold the phone in your hand which eliminates all reflection. When using the basephone speakerphone, prop it up with something underneath it to get the "downfacing" microphone away from your desk. Or I often just slide the basephone to the edge of the desk and have it suspended a couple of inches over the edge to free the microphone.
I guarantee using this already excellent speakerphone in this manner is no different (if not better for some reason) than talking through the handset. The Uniden is an excellent and very professional speakerphone for business because of that.
Digital camera Review: Excellent Product
Summary: 5 Stars
I am very pleased with this product as it enables me to have a phone in my bedroom where there is no jack.Digital camera Review: Excellent cordless phone choice
Summary: 4 Stars
Our old phone system was on its last legs. I did some research and read as many reviews of cordless phone systems as I could. This seemed to be a solid choice. It is the first time I purchased a Uniden product, and the price seemed almost too good to be true when bundled with a second handset/charger. This phone is everything the reviews said. Great sound quality. Good range on the handsets. Lots of features - even a speaker phone on the handsets. An excellent choice and an amazing value.
