Digital camera reviews of Uniden TRU9465-2 5.8 GHz Digital Expandable Cordless Phone with Dual Keypad and Extra Handset
Digital camera Review: The range on this phone is disappointing
Summary: 3 Stars
The range on this phone is much less than the range for the phone I was trying to replace. I am actually quite disappointed by this phone. It cannot reach from the downstairs base to our upstairs bedroom - and let me be clear, I do not live in a Trump mansion. Digital camera Review: Sending it back
Summary: 1 Stars
It has all the fancy features except for what I really needed - an answering machine. Description was misleading. It stated a "fully featured digital answerer". Returning.Digital camera Review: Love it
Summary: 5 Stars
Love the convenience of the speaker phone, clarity of sound, message waiting indicator light for my voicemail (do not use an answering machine) and ability to share phonebooks between handsets. 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: Handy system
Summary: 5 Stars
Amazon had the best price on this item. I like the extra handsets and the extra range they have. I can be out in the garden and still get great reception. Good buy with all the bells and whistles.
