Blocker "Hoss" (Muscatine, Iowa United States) - See all my reviews This review is from: Uniden DECT 6.0 Digital Caller ID Cordless Phone (DECT1560) (Office Product) This is hardly a useless phone. Let's get personal bias out of the way right now - it's impossible for me to be down on any phone that features the Star Spangled Banner as a ringtone, ok? ;-) Ok, this is still a good, cheap phone. You are not going to get a world's worth of features for $25, but this phone does pack a lot into the offer : * a 70-entry phonebook * a voice-mail light (if you have such service) * 30-entry caller ID log * T-coil friendly (if you have such a hearing aid) * easy set-up * great sound quality * speakerphone All of which you will probably find in most other cordless phones, but probably in handsets costing a lot more and they probably won't be DECT 6.0 either. Is this handset going to cure cancer? Heavens, no. But for a basic DECT 6.0 cordless phone, this is an unbeatable deal. The bottom line is this phone is a good value, and a good deal - so long as you don't want to...Read more 10 of 10 people found the following review helpful: This review is from: Uniden DECT 6.0 Digital Caller ID Cordless Phone (DECT1560) (Office Product) I was looking for a phone for my future dorm room. I don't have any use for an answering machine, and finding this phone with up to date features was great. It seems to be well made and feels good in my hand. I love the customization features such as backlit number pad, long battery life, and customizable ringers. I decided to rate this product in an attempt to bring the rating for this phone back up. One guy gave this phone a 1 out of 5 rating for it not having a headphone port...absolutely ridiculous. Don't mislead others by giving false ratings just because you were uninformed on your purchase. I love this phone and I would recommend it highly. Very affordable and great features for the price. I got my sister one too and she loves it! 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Uniden DECT 6.0 Digital Caller ID Cordless Phone (DECT1560) (Office Product) We have phones stuck all over the place in our home, barn, garage, office, get-away-place, et al. I happen to have this particular phone at one of my desks in my home office. Each of these phones are of a different brands. This unit meets all of my requirements for a phone in this particular location;
It is cheap. It works. It was easy to set-up. If the dog chews it up, I have not lost much. (Yes, this has happened in the past). It holds a charge. The range is adequate (back porch, front driveway, kitchen). It is not ugly. The only down side is that there is an ever so light back echo in the voice of people calling me. Fortunately, not many people call me, so this is of little moment....well, actually they do call, but I ignore the ring; let my wife answer it, and if it is for me, I tell her to tell them I will call them back. Now keep in mind that I am not what you would call a sophisticated phone techy...Read more |
