Digital camera reviews of Uniden TRU9496 2-Line Corded/Cordless Digital Answering SystemDigital camera Review: 2 Line office phone with all the right stuff Summary: 5 Stars
I was fairly happy with my 6 year old Sony 2 line phone but it finally gave up on me. I've found the new Uniden phone to be a huge improvement over what I was used to. I have a home office and use line 2 for my business and line 1 is the main family home line. I also have a separate single-line phone/answering machine in the kitchen for the family for line 1. I need a 2-line phone so I can pick up line 1 calls when I need to without running into the kitchen. What I really like about the system is its flexibility in how you set it up for EACH line and cordless handset. Specifically, when I pick up my phone in my office, I want it to default to line 2 not line 1. It can do that. I also don't want my 2-line system to answer calls on line 1 since I have a separate answering maching for that. It can do that. I also don't want other people to hear line 1 ringing when I'm on a call. It can do that. It also has a nice Do Not Disturb feature that throws calls straight to voice mail without ringing. Of course it has all the usual features like caller ID and call waiting. It also has excellent sound quality on the answering machine, speaker phone and the handpieces. I would say the range on the cordless phone is average. My office is at one end of the house (with lots of electrical stuff in it... computers, wireless devices, etc.) and the cordless phone does great everywhere in the house except in a bathroom at the other end of the house about 80 feet away. It still works there but I can hear some clicking like it's trying to find a good channel. If maximum range is your goal, another phone might be better. For my purposes, I'm extremely happy and can recommend the phone highly.
