- 5.8 GHz digital signal; handset and base speakerphones

By using the less-cluttered 5.8 GHz frequency, the TRU8885-2 is able to offer a clearer, more intelligible signal than older phones operating on lower bands. Caller ID/call waiting compatible (requires subscription through your local phone company), the TRU8885-2 holds up to 200 numbers in its internal caller ID/phone directory (100 on the base, 100 on the handset), while the display-and-dial feature allows you to quickly scroll through the caller ID list and dial the displayed number with the touch of a button. Ten speed-dial presets allow you to easily call the most frequently used outgoing numbers, and an alphabetical search feature provides an easy way to locate numbers stored in the internal memory.
Handset and base speakerphones provide a hands-free communication method, while a direct link mode allows you to use the handsets as walkie-talkies. Four-way conferencing allows several phones to communicate with an outside call. An intercom function enables communication with other phones on the same system, and the call transfer feature lets you transfer calls from the base phone to the handset and vice versa.
The all-digital answering machine has a 12-minute maximum record time and a four-minute maximum message length. A conversation record feature provides a quick and easy way to save important information such as directions, while full remote operation allows you to check your messages even when you are away from home. A page/handset locater feature makes finding a lost handset quick and painless. Handset and ringer controls let you adjust volume levels to your liking, while the redial button automatically calls the last three outgoing numbers. The TRU8885-2 also comes with a one-year limited warranty.

Fixed problems from prior versions, By This review is from: Uniden TRU8885-2 5.8 GHz Digital Cordless Phone with Dual Handsets and Answering System (Office Product) I've been wanting to get a 5.8ghz phone system for a while, but all previous models seemed to always have some kind of major shortcoming. Seems Uniden recognized this and came out with a model to beat all previous ones.The 8885 and 8865 models are newer versions of their old 5860/85 lines. It has pretty much any feature you could want. Just to highlight some of the strong points: 201 of 208 people found the following review helpful:  The One to buy, By kgmnyc "kgmnyc" (New York, NY) - See all my reviews This review is from: Uniden TRU8885-2 5.8 GHz Digital Cordless Phone with Dual Handsets and Answering System (Office Product) After years of living with my Siemens 2415, I had to replace them with a 5.8ghz due to interference from a neighbor's wireless network (so annoying). I was disappointed with the 5.8 ghz models on the market (big antennas and poor design) and was waiting for something upto the level of Siemen's, but tried the Uniden based on the rave reviews here. After a few weeks, I would say they are quite good with flaws. Good reception. Good design. They have all the features you could want. A big plus not mentioned elsewhere is the "do not disturb" button on the base which will shut off all ringers and call screening, perfect for napping. Plus all phones clearly say Do Not Disturb so you won't forget about it later.Orange LCD is very bright and readable (not my favorite color but you get used to it). Handsets are attractive. The Base is another story, not as attractive and buttons are really small and hard to decipher. Handsets are comfortable to use and you can...Read more 51 of 54 people found the following review helpful: a good product, but not without design flaws, By Jeff Bishop (Winston-Salem, NC) - See all my reviews This review is from: Uniden TRU8885-2 5.8 GHz Digital Cordless Phone with Dual Handsets and Answering System (Office Product) Unlike some of the other reviewers, I've had no problem with the range, sound quality, etc. There are four design problems, however.1. Limited handset capability. You can expand it to 10 units, which is great, but you can only use 2 handsets at any given time, which is not so great. You should be able to use as many units as the system can support. 2. No battery backup. The handsets all have batteries but the base doesn't. That means that in the event of power failure, nothing will work, and the time and outgoing message on the answering machine will be lost. 3. Phone book transfer. It's nice to be able to transfer phone entries unit to unit, but it would be better to have a separate phone book stored in a single location, e.g., the base, that is viewable by all. Then people would have no need to program anything into an individual handset, except in the unlikely event that they actually wanted certain phone numbers to be accessible from that handset only. 4.
