This set includes one corded handset and one cordless handset with a separate charger; the system is expandable to a total of ten (additional cordless models available separately). You can transfer incoming calls between each handset, and make use of the convenient hands-free design by using the included belt clip and built-in headset jack (headsets available separately). A page button lets you quickly locate the cordless handset if it's strayed under the couch cushions.
Easily adjust handset and ringer volume levels to your comfort, and set the handset LCD menu to one of three menu languages (English, French, or Spanish). The base sits sturdily on a countertop, giving you plenty of display options, and a total of 20 different ring tones (10 tones, 10 melodies) give you a variety of choices. Uniden provides a one-year warranty covering parts and service.

Can't attest to the interference with a wireless network, because I'm not there yet but....
Pros: 1. Renaming handsets to location, e.g., Bedroom, Cellar, 1st Floor. 2. Can turn main ringer off on base or handset (in the bedroom, for instance), but still use Transfer Call and Intercom features to that hanset. VERY HANDY FOR LARGE OR MULTIFLOOR HOMES. (Ring is also adjustable.) 3. Phone book. Set it up on the base and send to all the handsets. 4. Adds a "1" to long distance numbers from Caller ID just by pushing the */tone key. 5. Listen to messages from any handset. 6. Audible "Message Indicator." Can turn on or off. 7. Lighted keys (on handsets) and displays. 8. Easy to find the instructions for all the features in the manual. (The PDF manual from Uniden has hyperlinks from the Table of Contents and Index.) 9. Can set...Read more 18 of 18 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Uniden TRU9488 Expandable Corded/Cordless Combination System with Digital Answering System, Dual Keypad, and Call Waiting/Caller ID (Electronics) I thought about giving it 5 stars, but settled on 4. Maybe 4.5 stars.
Cons: I cannot figure out how to keep the answering machine from beeping when a new message is has been received. This makes it difficult to sleep in the same room when the machine is beeping. And I'm not quite sure why phone manufacturers refuse to use cords between the handset and base that can be easily extended by simply removing the cord and replacing it with a longer cord. So many phones seem to have at least one end permanently connected, and I'm not about to start deconstructing phones to replace cords. Pros: Range and batter life is pretty good, for how much we use it. Love the ability to intercom and check messages from any remote handset. I feel comfortable using the remote handsets even when giving personal info out since it's all digital. Both the base handset and the remote handsets feel good in my hands and against my ears. I'd buy another and I recommend this...Read more 22 of 23 people found the following review helpful: By Rib Hudson (New York City) - See all my reviews This review is from: Uniden TRU9488 Expandable Corded/Cordless Combination System with Digital Answering System, Dual Keypad, and Call Waiting/Caller ID (Electronics) I feel I owe readers this assessment, given how much wasted energy went into trying to find a suitable digital answering machine w/caller ID at a price under $80. I'm very happy with this machine and feel it has only a few flaws. PRO: Clear sound, nicely-spaced touchtones (even for big fingers), easy set-up, nice look. Ringer tone is gentle on the ears. Answering machine can be set up to silently record the messages, which is good for privacy in the room. Handset on base is not too heavy, as so many are nowadays. CON: To me, the biggest flaw is that the remote access code is merely two digits. Not much security there!!! Anyone determined to hear your messages can get access fairly quickly. Most phones offer just two or three digits, unfortunately, and I've found none that offer four. Also, only 12 minutes of recording time for messages. One would think they'd expand it to at least 20 minutes. A few blabbers can eat up 12 minutes easily. A solution is...Read more |
