Uniden TRU 5865

The handset was defective and the technology used in the phone was seven years old. Avoid this unit.

Compact, pleasing industrial design.

Inadequate sound quality.

Speaker phone hand-set, retrieve messages from the hand-set

Range isn't great, tinny sound

The speaker phone in the base and the handset is the best quality of any phone I have ever used. I have bought so many hands-free ear pieces that sounded great for a week, but then tanked - but I will clip the beltclip of this phone on my collar as I...

After much review - including Consumer Reports - I decided to purchase this phone. We were extrememly happy until we tried to go outside of the house with it. The static became untolerable during calls. Other than this the phone is great.

The phone looks good and the orange display is catchy.

Unreliability and design faults sufficient to render it a dud.
