Uniden Tru9280-4 5.8 Ghz 4-Handset Cordless Phone System With Answering System & Call Waiting Caller Id

My Mom and I decided to get a new house phone, because our good old Trustworthy Panasonic 900Mhz phone finally gave up on us. This was a good phone range was about full house and little bit outside. We went to Target to look and saw several cordless phones, and decided to go with this one because it was on sale for 100 dollars. Also i have a Uniden that still works after 7 years and it had great range for being 2.4 ghz, so i told her to go with Uniden. We got home and plugged them in to charge for about 16 hours. Then we finally removed the good old Panasonic phone and plugged this one in. Pros, i LOVE the look of this phone, it looks nice. The menu is also easy to use, really easy to figure out. The Features on this phone is pretty good, call waiting (Don't really use), Caller ID, you can also put up to 80 people in the phone book. Which is nice so you know who is calling you. Now the Cons: The Ringer is really quiet and i think should be louder then it is, even on max volume. Its...Read more

Definitely not worth the money. I bought it for the list of features and the advertised benefits of 5.8 GHz over my older 2.4GHz system. What a disappointment!
This is the first phone system of this class that I see missing wall mounting options: the shape of the unit is ideal for wall mounting, but there are no connectors. The handsets are not eye-pleasing, to say the least. The handsets are too small and too crowded with buttons to be held between your head and your shoulder. There are also no headphone jacks and belt clips, so hands-free operation is not possible. I owned decent 2.4 GHz phones for many years and was anticipating the 5.8 GHz phone to surpass them in signal quality and range. It did not. In fact, the sound quality is mediocre to poor, and deteriorates to crackling when, for example, the basement unit is taken to the second floor. I did not see any improvements in the operation of my Wi-Fi network after switching from my old 2.4 GHz phone to this one. This,...Read more

I wish I had been able to read the other reviews for this product prior to purchase because believe me, they're true. Unfortunately I bought it late one Sunday evening after my home phone broke suddenly. It was a total disappointment and I ended up replacing it after two miserable months. I can't imagine how it rates it's 5.8 Ghz since everything seems to cause interference. The phonebook allows you to appoint ringer selections to each entry, yet there is no correlation between what is in the phonebook and what comes up on the Caller ID. And the range... well, let's just say it might as well have a cord. Actually, it would be better with one, that way you wouldn't find yourself losing a call because you "wandered" 12 feet away from the base! I purchased mine for about $85 and still feel completely ripped off. I can honestly say that I NEVER had a satisfactory call on this unit. Steer clear of this one!
