Uniden DECT 6.0 Silver Cordless Digital Answering System with Caller ID and Four Handsets (DECT1580-4)

Comment: I have the same issue that a writer had 17 months ago -- The Uniden Tru12830 presents the same problem -- lots of whistling interference even when I manipulate the so-called t coil program on the phone. Am now trying to figure out after realizing the tcoil issue wasn't going to be solved whetehr amazon will take it back.

Comment: There are a lot of things to love about this set, and you can read all about them in other reviews. I just want to mention one feature that I really miss. The latest "high-tech" thing in these phones are phone books you can scroll through. More often than not, this replaces the older "low-tech" one-touch speed dial "memory" buttons. The issue comes into play when programming your phone to use calling cards. With calling cards, you dial the 800 #, press another number for your preferred language, another to enter pin, and often a fourth to place a call. With one (or even two) touch speed dial buttons, you can judiciously chain two commands into one speed dial button. For example, assign the 800 # to the first memory location, then when the service answers, you can press the second speed dial memory button which already has programmed both the "1" for english and the pin # so you don't have to wait for each prompt. With my old corldess phone, I can get through the whole process using only two memory button presses. With the phone books in the new phones, this does not work conveniently, if at all. On my old V-tech, if you are already on a calling card call and try to access the next code you have stored in the phone book, the only way to "enter" it is to press talk again, which ends the call or transfers to three-way calling. With this Uniden set, you can do it, but each access to a code has you opening the phone book each time, scrolling to access the code, then hitting menu/select. This is a very inconvenient compared to one-button memory! Why they can't add two or three one-button speed dial buttons to these, I don't know. If you use your phone a lot for making calling card calls and like to have the series of commands daisy-chained in speed dial, this may not be the phone for you. I have V-Tech's that have the same problem.

Comment: Two issues: we needed a replacement house phone system and mother's day was three days away! This system more than made up our household needs, with simplicity, efficiency, and usability. Add to that the arrival in two days while my wife was away so that it was up and running when she returned the day before Mother's Day....add some flowers and it was perfect. I'm being nominated for Husband of the Year!

Comment: The sound quality of this phone is very good.The features are easy to use.I very much like the intercom feature which allows you to talk from anywhere in the house.I will say however that I think the cost of replacement batteries should be less so your not forced to buy a new system,but it's like that with other phone systems as well.

Comment: So far I love the quality of the phones. The biggest problem I have with the phones is they should have a belt clip. My previous Uniden phones had a clip and it was really handy if I needed to move around while talking and needed my hands to be free. Everything else on the new phones are acceptable. I gave a four star rating because of not having a clip. I have always purchshed Uniden phones because of the quality.
