"Product Good Vendor Terrible" 2008-07-15By
Timothy E. DehaanOrdered base and additional unit. Only received additional unit. Will dispute charge with credit card company. Vendor that sold me product would not send me base. I tried calling and leaving messages as well as email but to no avail still without base. I like the product I already had one just expanding and needed another base. Vendor is not reliable. This is also second time I have had diffuclty purchasing something via amazon.com. Will probably not order again using amazon.
"Not Good Enough to Keep" 2008-02-07By
Jay Bryson (Akron, OH, USA)
1. If two people pick up handsets to answer at the same time ONLY ONE will actually be connected to the incoming call. The other will get an error tone and not hear the conversation. The person using the line must first put the outside party on hold, ring the expansion handset, then remove the hold.
2. This phone does NOT have a Message Indicator Light
3. The buttons are too difficult to push accurately.
4. The phone makes an annoying noise when you place it back on the base.
"Uniden DECT1060-2 DECT6.0 Phone System" 2007-10-29By

This phone base station and extra handset is being used in a small school classroom. After 1 month of use, it is working very well.
"not bad" 2007-09-22By

The sound's a little tinny, but no more interference from various wireless contraptions, which was making me crazy. Much smaller than what I was used to, but then it only took a day to get used to it. The functions are pretty intuitive and it's nice having a second extension that only requires a regular electrical outlet.
"Great phone. Great features. One minus (speed dialing). WAIT A MINUTE! SEE ADDENDUM" 2007-08-20By
Paul Trunfio (Stow, MA United States)
I am moving up from a Uniden Tru446 2.4GHz phone system which interferes with my wireless when I get a phone ring. BAD! Just unpacked this new phone today and notice that it's missing two critical features:
1. No speed dialing. I used to be able to set ten numbers for speed dial and a special number for rocketdial. Hold down 1 and it brought up my mother, then hit talk. Hold down 0 and it brought up voicemail. No dice on this one. I don't know how I can get around this one.
2. No lighted keys. If you are in the dark, forget about it. The old phone had lighted rubberized keys. This phone does not. I talk at night in the dark a lot. I have loved this feature on my older Uniden. Can live with this though.
Also ringer volume is rather low even on maximum. I can live with this though.
Otherwise, the handsets are sleek. No antenna (which I like). No interference with wireless. No interference from microwave. Transferable phone book entries. Speakerphone. Ability to use intercom system. Ability to label phones with their own identifiers. Phone numbers can get unique ringers.
All in all, I like this phone, but the lack of speed dialing is a problem for me.
Added:
After playing around with this phone system, I really have to change my review. This is a great phone system. The added features over my previous system makes this a great product (even without the speed dialing).
More good: Displays date and time on handsets. Can shut off handset (so the phone doesn't wake you up when you don't want it to). Has built-in speakerphone for each handset. Can transfer calls from one handset to another. Appointment reminders. Alarm set. All these good features were LACKING on my previous phone. There's more good... read below.
I got around the speed dialing problem, kind of. This is what I did: I programmed my top ten entries in the phone book and prefixed the name with a number. This way, I can scroll through the entries by number and they're always ahead of any other entries. Not as fast as the speed dialing, but it works and I think I can live with it, given all the other great features.
Another great feature of this phone is that when you dial back from a caller-ID remembered number, it actually works. With my old phone, it didn't. This phone dials a number with or without prefixing with a 1. But this really makes life a dream. With my old phone, I would have to remember the number, write it down even, and then dial it. But on this phone it works.
So, overall, a great big leap forward for this phone over my previous generation 2.4GHz phone.
Would give it 5 stars if it had the speed dialing. So, it's really a 4.5 star rating.
I know, I'm schizophrenic! I've been using this phone for a week now. It's majorly flawed. Here's my list of problems.
1. Buttons are not optimally placed... so you can very easily hit the intercom button while on a phone call and not know how to get back.
2. The personalized ringtones don't work right away. When the phone rings, you get the regular ringtone for the first ring and then it changes to the personalized one.
3. There is no light for message waiting indication, just a small envelope on the screen.
4. Caller ID scrolling is MUCH slower than my OLD uniden.
5. Local calls on the caller ID cannot be called back directly. i.e., the local area code does not get pre-pended to the number.
6. Plastic keys are less good than rubberized keys (my old phone). There's a general hard-to-press feel of the keys.
7. voice quality is not that good. sometimes there is an echo (this is not a service issue).
8. ringer is QUIET! much quieter than my old phone.
why can't i get my old phone with these new features (intercom, battery indicator, etc.)???
So, take my 4.5 stars and subtract about 3.
