I bought this phone system to go with our new Vonage service since Vonage runs off of a single modem/phone adaptor and we have several extensions in the house. It was very easy to set up and now we have extensions everywhere we want them that only need an electrical outlet. (I always wanted to have a phone in the bathroom - the only time it ever seems to ring is when I'm in the shower!) The reception is very clear on all of the extensions and the nice thing is that when you set up your frequently called numbers in one handset you can copy them to all or any of the handsets that you want to instead of having to re-enter them all again. It takes only seconds. You can also turn the ringers off, on, or adjust to volume in any of the extensions or the base. That's nice when you have someone in the family to goes to sleep earlier than you and you don't want the phone ringing in the bedroom. All of the phones light up when they ring so you can tell that they're ringing. I use that...Read more

Please speak up!,
December 6, 2008 J. Butler - See all my reviews
This review is from: Uniden DECT1588-5 Corded / Cordless Phone Combo (Electronics)
I bought this phone set because I really liked the corded base (for power outages) and was ready to upgrade. I liked the use of the phone and the ability to transfer phonebook entries from one handset to another (or the base). But I am going go be returning the system for two main reasons: 1. Using the handset just a couple rooms away people constantly ask me to speak up. If I switch to my old cordless phone there is no problem. 2. The handsets don't have a headset jack and I really like using a headset.
Review update... I tried an dect 6.0 phone system from AT&T with the same results, people asking me to speak up, so that be a frequency issues instead of just per this phone. I would have thought with the hype about dect it would be able to go from one floor of the house to the other.

Much Better Than the 5.8,

Works great and it is easy to use. It has much better range than the old 5.8 and zero static sound. Best of all it does not boot me off the WEB like the old 5.8 did. It has similar features to cell phones as well with ring tone select and any button answer feature. I have owned 900meg, 2.4G, STD cordless and 5.8 and this 6.0 tops them all in every area.
