Customer Review: Excellent phone but has some aggravating quirks .....
Summary: 5 Stars
OK .... this phone system rates 5 solid stars as being a very functional, aesthetic, compact and crystal clear phone for a 2 line house or office. I have been using the 2.4 GHz Panasonic phone for some years and this phone compares very favourably with that older system. The range is better; sound is excellend and does not start to break up after talking on a handset for more than 15 minutes (big problem in Panasonic); THE HANDSETS HAVE GREAT SPEAKERPHONES ... WOW ... what a benefit; the base uniot does not occupy half of your desk; phones work PERFECT with a VOIP system; handsets are very cheap compared to Panasonic; greater choice of ringer tones.... also a GREAT addition is the global setting optiuon that allows you to change phone settings and address books etc etc from one of the units (in other phoes you MUST go to every handset and make changes ) last but no least its super easy to synch the additional handsets with the base unit...
No answering machine in the unit means you have to have a phone service with that option (prcatically everyone has) ...
Now here's the ODD things that really bugged me but may not bother other people since, my son tells me it's my own strange experience .....
- My top grief with this sytem is that when you pick the handset up out of the cradle the keys and face DO NOT light up! To get keys to light one has to push any button .. hey thats CRAZY ... I mean when you pick up the phone it's to make a call, and it's convenient in a dark room to have the keys light up .. C'mon UNIDEN why elese would I take the phone out of the cradle??????? If I would have known this beforehand it may have been a reason for me to nix the purchase .... so you new buyers beware ...
- Also, when you pick up you MUST push a privacy button or else you can easily have three people answering the same call... pretty primitive and I can't see myself pushing a privacy button for EVERY call ... Another aggravation for me ...
- Hanging up can be tedious if you put the line on hold ... it will stay on hold even though you hang up unless you push the call end button ... you wont ever looose a hold call but what a pain ..
- On the base unit to switch from handset to base unit speakerphone you have to (1) put call on hold (2) hang up unit (3) push the specific line on the base unit .... on units that I used before all one had to do was puch 1 button for speaker and then hang up the unit ...
All in all though, if you can live with the foibles, and dollar for dollar one of the best high quality 2 line units out today !!!!

The Uniden TRU8866 cordless phone system offers an attractive bundle of features with room to grow. 5.8 GHz digital signal transmission offers increased call clarity and security while the impressive caller ID capabilities ensure that you'll never miss a call or lose an important number. Plus, a duplex speakerphone in the base and a standard speakerphone in the handset provide hands-free conversation options.
Housed in a professional-looking, no-nonsense black case, the phone's memory is shared between the caller ID log and the programmable memory dialing--100 names and numbers in the handset, and 100 more in the base unit. You can locate numbers using a alphabetic search tool similar to that of a typical cell phone, and the most commonly dialed numbers can be assigned to 10 speed dial presets accessed on the base unit.
The TRU8866 offers room to grow. It's expandable to 10 handsets (model #TCX860, one included). With additional handsets, you can transfer calls, transfer memory locations, and even use them as an intercom around the house or as a room monitoring system (baby monitor).
Additional features include conferencing, trilingual menu display options, distinctive ring tones, mute, hold, redial, and headset compatibility (headset sold separately). Even with additional handsets, the TRU8866 requires just one phone jack. Simply plug the base unit into a phone jack, and the additional handsets will configure themselves to "talk" directly with the base unit.
