Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Uniden CEZA1998 5.8 GHz Cordless Phone with Corded Base, Speaker Phone and Digital Answering System
Customer Review: Yes, it has speakerphone
Summary: 5 Stars
When I was considering the purchase, I liked everything about this phone except the fact that nowhere was a speakerphone capability mentioned. I even went to the Uniden site to see if that feature was mentioned ... no luck. But even with that omission, I liked everything else enough to order the phone. But once it arrived, to my delight it actually DOES have a speakerphone as well. And a wonderful one at that! GREAT!! This phone is, of course designed for the hard of hearing, but don't make the mistake of assuming that it is only for that purpose. My wife and I are not hard of hearing, but our old 2.4GHZ phone interfered with our wireless network, and this one at 5.8GHZ and a very reasonable price offered a great value. It sounds crisp and clear. And the visual ringer and extra amplification can all be turned off very easily. The answering system is easy to use and very clear, and although the phones are no larger than our old phones, the buttons are MUCH bigger and easier to see. How did they do that without increasing the size of the phone? All phones should have such large lighted buttons. No gotchas here, just great, straightforward, and simple to use design. Buy it! At $90 for a great corded phone, an excellent cordless one, a fine speakerphone, and a fine answering system, you can't lose.Customer Review: Its too easy
Summary: 5 Stars
Really like this unit. The biggest problem with setting it up is its so easy to set up that we wanted to overcomplicate it. Sound quality, range and ease of use really make this lower priced unit well worth the money. The large easy to read numbers are great. We are entertained by the pronounciation of the names of the callers by the caller ID voice. Ok, so we are easily entertained... The large information screen is a help. With our old phone, we had to run to see who was calling and then have to put on our glasses to see the name/number. This phone and answering machine takes care of those problems. Haven't tried it out in the south forty, but the cordless phone works everywhere in the house and garage without any static or problems. The cordless phone has better reception then our older Uniden. Guess there have been some improvements over the last few years. It took a little while to get use to not hearing your own voice in the phone when you talked but its not a issue now. The speaker phone makes one sound like your in a barrel, but we hear the other caller fine. Maybe if we change our phone location that may improve. Very pleased with this set up. Will see how well it lasts over time.Customer Review: Great Phone-Great Price

After hours and hours of reading reviews online, I bought this phone for my 80-year old mother. She has a hearing deficiency, and like most her age she wanted something easy to use, without a lot of unnecessary buttons and menus. I started out looking at the Clarity phones which are sold by many audiologists. They are much more expensive than this Uniden, and the reviews I read were more negative than positive. Also, this has the desk-phone which works even when the power goes out, and it lets her keep the phone at her ear while she uses the keypad to key in things like her bank account number. Another key feature is that the keys are large and well lit, and labels for volume or ringer buttons are printed in crisp black letters on the white phone. This is VERY helpful compared to most phones which just have the labels as raised letters in the plastic. I will probably buy another phone like this for my own home even though I have more "advanced" ones already. Sometimes simpler is really better.Customer Review: Finally a phone that is easy to see and use!

My 89 year old Mom is spry for her age, but she has some hearing and vision issues, and has never taken easily to figuring out glitches with things like VCRs, phones, or clock radios. Things for her must be as simple to setup and use as possible, preferably without requiring a magnifying glass to read the buttons or a 3 hour trip each way on my part to take care of any glitches. I am absolutely ecstatic to report that Uniden has finally and at long last come out with a telephone system that is thoughtfully designed for the non-techno-geek segment of the market! The large lighted buttons and hearing aide compatability are why I bought this phone, but the ease of setup and use are why I'm writing this review. Other reviewers have mentioned most of the features, but I'll add that the user's guide has even been printed in larger type. My Mom is now extolling the virtues of this phone to all of her friends!Customer Review: Easy!

I bought this phone for my parents, and it's perfect! It does everything they need it to do, and then some. Having the integrated answering machine gets an extra gadget out of the house. It's white, so although it is bulky, it doesn't overwhelm against the white kitchen wall. The integrated cordless base station gets yet another electronic gadget out of the house (before, they had separate corded and cordless phones) while still keeping a corded phone in place for blackouts/emergencies. Setup was super easy, even mounting it on the wall, which I particularly appreciated since I did the setup (!). The large buttons are handy, and I really like the emergency number button being there. So far, everything has worked with no problems, and there has been no interference from other phones or networks. As of now, I can completely recommend this phone.
