Customer Review: GREAT phone!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the fourth one of these phones I have purchased. Not because the others have broken, but because I have lost a few in our moves.
The phones get great reception and are very, very durable and long lasting. I seems other people I know go through a new wireless phone set about every two years and we still have ours from several years ago with little sign of wear. And the feature of listening to your messages from the headset itself (instead of having to stand in the dang kitchen bent over the base)is awesome. I can sit on the couch or in bed and be comfortable. I also find the internal phonebook storage option very handy for storing numbers I call frequently but haven't memorized. Also the speakerphone feature is great and I use it often. I rarely have any problem with sound quality, static, etc. whereas when I go to other people's houses I am usually very aware of their inferior sound quality and reception in their phones...not to be snobby! :)
I have had some difficulty locating the features that I needed within the menu but I always find them. That would be the one area I think they could improve on, menu layout or maybe different wording of the features. But still it doesn't affect my 5 star rating.
Another feature I love is that you can buy several phones and expand the set up to 5 phones I think. We currently have three with no problems and one of them I bought separately three years later. I HIGHLY recommend these phones.
Customer Review: Better than the TCX805 for the Tru888x family
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought two of these to supplement my Uniden Tru8888 after researching compatibility. While the software driving these phones has much of the interface of the TCX805/Tru888x line, I'll cut my stars accordingly for the Tru888x line. Comments about this expansion handset:
- The four-way joystick-like button is a blessing. The up-down buttons on the TCX805 are OK but the left-right buttons fail to work when editing a number in the phone book especially to add the 1 before an area code. They instead add # and *. Here, you don't have to re-type the whole number, just move where you want with the joystick. The odd but subsequently convenient Space typed by right-arrowing in text is gone, apparently replaced by the character range on zero, one of which is a space. Operation in low light is a lot easier with the big joystick button.
- Two numbers per phonebook entry seems to be new here, and I like it.
- The quality of sound, range and the clarity of the speakerphone on the handset remain excellent.
- They seem to mate to a TCX805 charger but don't seem to fit in right. So if you have a mix, don't interchange their charger bases.
- I like the overall feel and I prefer using the 905's in the bedrooms (where you might have to use them in the dark) and the 805 remains in the living room.
I'll update with my experiences as I continue to use them. For now, the TCX905 gets all five stars.
Customer Review: Cordless telephone
Summary: 5 Stars
The Amazon order went smoothly even though the telephone was shipped from a third party (a small time lag was noticeable).
The additional telephone unit complimented my main system, a TRU-9466. I noticed it even helped out with the clarity of my VOIP system. I had a 2.4 Ghz system prior to this.
It took a little studying to master all the features but I am glad I made this purchase. I am glad I found the function where I could copy all the new telephone lists entered to the other units. I have not found a function to delete caller I.D. numbers from all the sets at once.....but on the other hand you could look at it like a safeguard, if you delete too many by mistake.
The LCD screen is visible from several feet during the day or night. You can increase or decrease the caller's voice volume, a plus, and I like being able to assign a special ring tone to those you know.....the ring tone let's you i.d. from afar whether or not you should rush over and answer your phone.
This telephone has a two-line function......A+....you can set up each handset to default to a particular line (line 1 or 2) when you want to dial out...a nice feature if you have a home based business or you telecommute.
Regarding VOIP: it can handle a mix of 1 VOIP and 1 non-VOIP line with no problem...no cross-talk. Enough said, check it out for yourself.
Customer Review: Cool Phones!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have the base model TRU9480. I have owned the system for a few weeks now. After some research and review reading, I knew that I wanted Uniden's expandable phones for my house. I found the best deal at Sam's Club. I bought the package that had the base/cordless phone with 3 other cordless phones. You can do so much with these phones, that it's almost overwhelming. I love to program things, it's challenging to me, so I was looking forward to purchasing these phones. They are a lot like cell phones, which is really cool because most people use their cell phones more than their house phone these days (if they even have a house phone anymore). The system has an answering machine, a 'do not disturb' button (when you don't want to hear the phones ring), caller i.d., cool ringtones, 2-way radios, room monitors, intercom, phonebook, a 3 phone # memory redial, and much more. Like I said, it's seems overwhelming for many, but you don't have to utilize all of the features. The phone system is working great so far. I bought this to replace an older Uniden phone set which is still in great working condition. I needed more cordless phones to put around the house. I am impressed with how modern this new set is compared to my old set. It's just cool.Customer Review: BEST PHONE SYSTEM AVAILABLE
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't want to repeat the other reviews but will say that this is a practically perfect phone system in overall design, user interface, features, and price.
You can choose to screen incoming calls from a softkey on handsets, use as independent walkie talkies, 3 last number redials, large clear backlit LCD and jeypad, great feeling keypad buttons, 4 way controller, sturdy belt clip, loud handset speakerphone, easy to adjust volumes, flasing message indicator, room monitor, up to 10 handsets, large phonebook, and more.
I know that technology always progreses, but I really am curoius how this product can be improved, barring a drastically different phone system technology emerging.
However, I will take this opportunity to to mention some SMALL improvements that could be made: The redial function could be expanded beyonf only the last 3 numbers to 20 or more (other Unidens have 20). The charging stand is mostly empty space inside and the space should be used as excess power cord storage for cleaner looking installations without any hanging bunches of power cord. Finally, an even larger phonebook would be nice but 100/200 numbers is still great.
