I bought it for my 91yr old aunt who was used to the generation of cordless phones with the itty bitty antenna on the end, and back then, it took a lot to teach her how to answer the phone w/o cutting people off (you get the picture :-). She needs more phones and so I gave her a total makeover, plus she has no use for an answering machine or any other "must have" features.
I was delighted with these phones...lighter, brighter and talk about easy to use! Nice large readout screen with excellent contrast makes it easy on the eyes. I made all the handsets "AutoTalk" so when the phone rings, she just picks up a handset and talks...no button pushing! Voice clarity/loudness and ringer are excellent for her and would buy one for myself and they're a breeze to set up. 20 of 23 people found the following review helpful: By KAS (Minnesota) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Uniden DECT 6.0 Digital Cordless Phone with Caller ID and Two Extra Handsets (DECT1560-3) (Office Product) Despite a history of excellent experience with Uniden phones, this was poor quality right out of the package. It felt inexpensive and proved to be just that despite the price. It worked for about six hours. Now, after not even using the phones, two of the chargers (including the base) have no function. We have interchanged the AC adapters with no success. All three phones have now charged using one charger. It does no good since the base unit is not functioning. Uniden's customer service has, thus far, not responded. Our next call is to Amazon to return the product. 9 of 10 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Uniden DECT 6.0 Digital Cordless Phone with Caller ID and Two Extra Handsets (DECT1560-3) (Office Product) Very, very disappointing. I've used Uniden products for many years, but this will be my last Uniden product. Problems:
1. Very flimsy and cheaply made. See the other reviews. 2. Ni-Cad batteries. Really, in this day and age? They could not have spent another few cents and given their customers a decent NiMH battery? Since this unit is designed to stay in the charger, I expect the NiCad batteries to fail in a matter of months, as they don't like being used in that manner. A replacement set of decent NiMH batteries are going to cost around $20, about half the price of the system. 3. You can't even pick up the handset without activating some useless "feature" that you don't need, don't want and will not use. Then you have to look in the nearly useless manual to try to turn off whatever got turned on. For example, the "New message" LED on all handsets blink all the time. If you follow the procedure to turn them off, they start again in a...Read more |
