UNIDEN DECT2088 DIGITAL ANSWERING SYSTEM

Amazon.com Product Review

Amazon.com Product Description Keep in touch with friends and family with the Uniden DECT2088 Corded/Cordless Phone and Answering System. Packed with advanced features, this easy-to-use system offers a dual keypad and caller ID capabilities.

DECT 6.0 technology offers better performance, security, and battery life than older 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz phones.
The Uniden DECT2088 cordless phone system offers:
  • Wi-fi friendly DECT 6.0 technology for maximum voice clarity and call security.
  • Ability to make and receive calls during a power failure.
  • Digital answering system with up to 14 minutes of recording time.
  • High-capacity phonebook for up to 70 names and numbers.
Interference Free Cordless Frequency
The DECT2088 utilizes DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) technology with a frequency range of 1.9 GHz, which means you won't have to worry about this phone interfering with your Wi-Fi networks. In addition, you'll enjoy maximum voice security and the clearest voice reception, so there's no struggling to hear or be heard while talking on the phone.

Digital Technology For Message Management
The DECT2088 includes a digital answering machine with handset access and an impressive 14-minute recording time, so you'll never miss an important message. This system also uses microchip technology for clearer recordings and longer life. And you won't have to worry about replacing broken moving parts!

User-Friendly Features
Designed to be easy to use, the DECT2088 offers menu prompts in both English and Spanish, while the backlit keypad makes it a snap to enter phone numbers or access features in any light setting. The large, easy-to-read LCD screen clearly displays the date, time, extension and other data and is also compatible with the caller-ID and call-waiting display. And the 70 phone book locations and 30-number caller ID history help ensure that you'll never need to hunt for a number again. And the three-party conferencing option, which allows you to conference Line 1, Line 2, base and caller, is great for talking to friends and family members.

Expandable, Dependable Operation
The DECT2088 truly adapts to your needs by being expandable to up to six handsets, and by offering time-saving features. First, the high visibility message waiting indicator lets you immediately know when someone has left a message. And when you're on the phone and the call waiting beeps, you won't have to wait to find out who's calling--the LCD clearly displays the name and number of the caller in call waiting. (Note: to activate this feature, you must subscribe through your telephone company.) You can also use the handset as a speakerphone, transfer calls between handsets and personalize ringers so you'll know who's on the line before you pick up the phone. To save you time, this system also offers last five number redial capabilities.

About DECT Technology
Advanced DECT 6.0 technology, or Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications, operates on the newly released 1.9 GHz frequency band that was recently allocated to support cordless telephony. Uniden DECT 6.0 incorporates unique "listen before transmit" technology that avoids interference with many household products, such as baby monitors, microwaves and WiFi (which operate on frequencies like 2.4 GHz). As a result, DECT phones offer consumers enhanced voice clarity and crystal clear digital sound quality. DECT 6.0 technology also offers higher security and voice protection, as well as a longer battery and battery standby life than existing 2.4 GHZ or 5.8 GHz phones.

The DECT2088 is backed by a one-year limited warranty.

4.0 out of 5 stars Really good phone - could have been great., May 28, 2008

This review is from: Uniden DECT2088 DECT 6.0 Corded/Cordless Phone with Answering System with Caller ID (Office Product)
I got this phone because my 5.8 GHz phone system was having trouble reaching the three levels of my house. I was also looking for a phone system that had phone-book sharing capabilities, as well as a corded handset on the base for use during power outages, which are frequent in my part of the world. The phone is pretty good, but with the addition or improvement of its current features it could have been great.

This phone satisfies me in all of these aspects. The range on it is great, even through multiple floors (I currently have the base on my top floor, and handsets on the bottom, with only minimal static despite a two floor separation.) Intercom features and transferring calls between stations works well, and there is a 'privacy mode' that will prevent other stations from entering your phone conversation if you desire, which is a nice touch.

Audio quality is fine, although I have not thoroughly tested it. The speakerphone on the base is pretty good; I...Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars A dollars and good sense purchase!, September 17, 2008

This review is from: Uniden DECT2088 DECT 6.0 Corded/Cordless Phone with Answering System with Caller ID (Office Product)
Recently bought this phone, and am entirely happy with the purchase. I was looking for a DECT 6.0, as I'd had one living over in England. I'm a big believer in the technology.

Initially was looking for a Panasonic, however happened across this Uniden at a great price. PLUS, really wanted to have a corded phone along with a cordless option.

There is what I'd say is a very accurate review already posted that goes into some depth on the phone, so I don't need to go into the nitty-gritty here. A few comments though:

* Clarity is great! I hear calls great, and I'm told my voice is heard loud and clear on the other side.

* I've had no problem with range, I can use the handset phone outside with great clarity and that's quite a ways away from the base. Anywhere in the house is good.

* No Wi-Fi interference, and I've got two Wi-Fi networks in the house. I was concerned about this from reports on other phone manufacturers.

*...Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars some good, some bad, January 30, 2009

This review is from: Uniden DECT2088 DECT 6.0 Corded/Cordless Phone with Answering System with Caller ID (Office Product)
The main problem with this phone is that the corded handset does not feed your voice back into the earpiece, so the phone sounds like it is dead, when in fact it is working and the person at the other end can hear you just fine. Makes you speak more loudly than necessary.

Also, this phone suffers from the handset shrinking disease. The corded handset is even smaller than on the 5.8GHz model, making it harder to hold, and causing the microphone to be nowhere near your mouth.

The speakerphone is nice and loud while maintaining good fidelity, and the earpiece likewise. Corded earpiece is much louder than the Uniden 5.8 GHz model I tried.

User interface is really bad. But, the manual is halfway decent. Halfway.

LCD displays on base and cordless handsets are good. LCD on cordless is on all the time, but backlight comes on only when receiving, speaking, or calling. Cordless handset has good volume.

No battery backup, hence many...Read more
