We bought this one to replace an old Radio Shack unit that was starting to wear out. Initially we were looking at a Panasonic unit that offered call blocking, a feature we wanted to stop those annoying telemarketing calls. After some searching I found this unit, which also offered the call blocking capability. After some serious comparison shopping we opted to go with this unit, which so far we have not regretted at all. It's relatively easy to set up, although the directions leave a bit to be desired in my opinion. We bought an additional unit for this and all three remote units easily synched with the base unit. One unit did have a totally dead battery in it, but it quickly recharged after being left on the charger. We can't begin to say how much we love the call blocking feature. It's remarkably easy to add a number, either when it's ringing or by searching through the call history. Suddenly our house is much quieter now and we can actually get some peace and quiet knowing...Read more

Uniden must have read my review of the Uniden DXAI5588-2 5.8 GHz Analog Cordless Phone with Dual Handsets (Silver and Black), because this phone solves almost all my complaints, and adds some nice new features.
You can talk on more than one extension at a time, you can copy stored phone numbers between all handsets, you can control the answering machine and check messages from any handsets. All extensions and the base have speakerphones. The time is automatically synchronized between all extensions and the base, so you only set it once.
It also has some cellphone type features. You can specify different ringtones for different people (though there's only 6), or for different handsets. You can block certain numbers, or block private or unknown numbers. If someone is in your phone book, the name from your...Read more

I've been using Uniden phones for many years, so thought nothing of buying this one looking forward to some of the new qualities it has. Only after I opened it up did I realize it was missing something I've just become accustomed to them having: belt hooks. It took getting the batteries charged and plugging the phone in that I realized another missing item I didn't think phones even came without anymore: plug-in for a headset. This is a huge necessity for me, I'm constantly plugging in so I can work and talk at the same time. I'm definitely going to have to figure out how to replace these. I hadn't noticed this information in any other reviews so thought it might be useful to someone who is looking for those two features.
