Great phones

 

I have been going through phones at an great rate, as for some reason they just break on me. Now I don't buy the cheapest phone I can either. I go for the better phones that are wireless and near top of the list in quality. Yet they still break on me. ...

5.8 is not the same as 2.4

 

5.8 is not the same as 2.4

A previous reviewer (Murphy) misunderstood what the difference between 5.8 and 2.4 is in these phones. He said "The range on this phone is SUPPOSED to be more than TWICE that of a 2.4Gz phone. " If he would have called Uniden, Panasonic, Sony, etc,...

Decent features, poor range

 

Decent features, poor range

I think the other users of this phone have covered well enough the features of this phone. The main problem with the phone is its range. I feel that due to it's poor antenna on the handset your range is severely cut. I've found that I have to point my...

nice features but not always best sound

 

nice features but not always best sound

the handset speakerphone is great, but you must be close for your voice to be heard on the other line. the volume is generally weak compared to other phones. it's best feature, however, is it's 5.8GHz frequency. there's virtually NO interference...

Best Phone Yet

 

Best Phone Yet

This phone promises alot. And it delivers! Sound of the answering system is clean and clear. Just read the product info-yeah it does all that! The amazon price with super saver matched ebay so why not buy it new in the box?

Excellent phone system for the price

 

Durable feeling, message notification on handsets, message pickup from handset.

Cannot use both handsets simultaneously. Belt clip is not tight enough on thin clothing.

Uniden Cordless Phone Model TRU5885-2

 

I purchased this telephone system and I've had nothing but problems with it. Although the phone has several nice features, there are inherent problems with this phone. After the first year, the cordless handsets started getting hot. Finally, ...

Lots of Nice Features

This Uniden phone is very unreliable. Very poor technical support. Customer support is non-responsive

Unident TRU 5885-2 - Mixed Feelings

 

I purchased the Uniden TRU5885 Cordless Phone Set in August of 2004, over five months ago. It was purchased as a replacement for my old telephone. The Uniden TRU5885 Cordless Phone Set was on sale at a great price and the concept of a ...

Great sound quality and range, lots of features, double handsets, and answering system

can't expand, can't use both handsets together, might accidentally leave the phone off the hook

This phone sucks!!

 

This phone sucks!!

I live in a loft across from train and commuter train tracks in a semi-industrial area. The phone has worse range than the 900 I had -- about 20 feet from my door. I have an outdoor entrance. The reception also sucks. Don't buy it. I should have tested...
