Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Uniden TRU9496 2-Line Corded/Cordless Digital Answering SystemCustomer Review: Great home/business/intercom phone system! Summary: 5 Stars
Replaced a Panasonic 2.4GHZ expandable system (that started failing miserably within 2 years) with this one and so far has been worth every penny. Needed a 2 line system, 1 line for personal use, 2cd line for home office. Originally purchased the base (with 1 included handset) and also purchased the waterproof handset TWX977 (see review), was so impressed I purchased 3 more regular handsets (TCX905) locally.
Since my purchase decision was primarily based on reviews here, I thought I would share my opinions as well.
1. Base phone AND handset clarity is excellent, I have a 2 story house (approx 3,500 sq ft) with the base unit in the lower (sub-basement) level. Reception has not been affected in the least in spite of a wireless home network and several home electronics near base. (extra handset in kitchen not affected by microwave or other appliances) Far superior than any previously owned phone equipment.
2. Handsets have great range, wandered out into back of yard whispering to husband "can u hear me now". approx. 75-100ft from base (with lots of wood decking and cement from basement) No static, no dropped calls
3. LCD lighting is highly visible, caller id shows up throughout phone ringing, ample time (mentioned because of a previous post)
4. Easy set up/phone registrations, easy menu items, phone book with 2 numbers per person great feature. Only drawback is, although you can copy an entire phone book to a new phone, you still have to program in the personal ring tones. Also, you have to erase all previous caller id's off each individual phone.
5. Being able to "name" each handset is handy when someone wanders off with a phone you know which room it belongs. Also, makes calling on intercom easier (unlike other phones we've had that only number the phones, you tend to forget which phone is where)
6. Caution on using the room monitor features, all phones default set to allow room monitoring, however, you can switch off the room monitor within each handset setup. (found this out after teens were eavesdropping in on mom and dad, luckily before any damage was done LOL)
7. As far as previous posts about the ring tone volume, haven't found it a problem. If you find a ring is too low (even on high volume) simply choose a different ring tone (some are WAY louder than others)
All in all, a great value for the price. Highly recommended for someone looking for a home business and personal phone/intercom system solution.

Combining a traditional corded handset with a 5.8 GHz cordless handset, the Uniden TRU9496 offers cordless convenience when you want it, but will continue to provide basic phone service in the event of a power outage. Only the base system with the corded handset requires a phone jack; any additional handsets simply require an electrical outlet to connect the charging cradle. DirectLink two-way radio communication is built into each cordless handset and the base speakerphone, allowing them to function as an in-home intercom system or baby monitor. Redial any of the last three dialed numbers at the touch of a button, activate five-way conference calls or just enjoy the consistent, clear 5.8 GHz digital signal transmission. The base includes a fully digital answering system with up to 15 minutes of recording time. Additional features include an audible message alert, toll saver, remote message retrieval and a choice between personalized or prerecorded outgoing messages. With subscription to local service, the phone is compatible with Call Waiting Caller ID. It will display the name, number and date and time of each call on the backlit LCD, and will store up to 100 names with two numbers each, so you can return calls at the touch of a button. Even without Caller ID service, a phonebook stores 10 of your most frequently-dialed numbers.
