absolute 'Do not buy' product from Uniden. I don't know what I was thinking that I paid $100 for this 3rd grade product. I thrashed some of the parts of the original packing, so couldn't return. This phone doesn't have important buttons like redial, mute etc. I am not able to configure the Answering Machine, everything seems to be very clumsy on this product. And one more worst thing is the phone gets connected even if you don't pickup after 2-3 rings i.e. the caller get to her the house while you thought the caller hung up after 2 rings...Very irritable

Amazingly poor phone. Although Uniden can be good at times, this one is virtually worthless:
1) The keys on the handset began to wear out after just 3 weeks of use. By 4 months, only 2 of 12 keys were legible. (My nails are quite short.)
2) It's very hard to turn the ringer on and off: You literally have to press 6 buttons to get the ringer tone to turn on or off.
3) Callers who want to bypass the recorded announcement (outgoing message) by hitting pound can only get it to bypass after pressing pound about 4 times (it works inconsistently)
4) If you want to monitor your incoming calls, you have to listen to your outgoing message each time a call comes in (can't turn it off).
5) This is obviously a phone prepared for a European market that was dropped onto the American market. Date stamp is not in American format.
6) Support staff at Uniden were rude, to put in mildly, and obviously not interested in being helpful to customers.

I replaced a 2.4 Ghz Uniden with the DECT 6.0 since the battery was dying. The phone works very well. No interference from our WiFi network. Lots of features. And you can add handsets. I really like the ability to name the phones (bedroom, kitchen, etc.) and the ability to use the intercom function to transfer calls to a different phone. The British accent on the answering machine is cool. Overall, a really great phone.

We bought this phone because it supposedly wouldn't suffer from interference from our home wireless system. It didn't - but it did suffer from fade-out, even if you were not moving. Called Gizmosforlife to enquire about the return policy and we're still awaiting an answer. Also sent them an e-mail and I'm awaiting a reply to that also.

We have a large multi-building home with an ailing old intercom-phone system from 20 years ago ($5000 then). A wireless system would be ideal. I have purchased many systems less than 6.0 and had to return them because of poor range or bad answering machine functions. I am happy to report that this system exceeds our expectations.
I don't mean to confuse you, and it probably does not matter to you, but I purchased this system because it can have multi-modules, which means that you can setup another module on the same line and expand the system with another system. You can have 4 modules, and 6 phones per module, so you can have 24 wireless phones on one line! The intercom would only work on its own module I believe. There are two modules or systems you can buy, one has an answering machine and the other does not. Make sure you get the correct one! They are the same thing except for the answering thing.
Now back to exceeding expectations, the range is much better than any earlier system, so I won't need more modules anyway. I can take the phone all the way to the beach and get clear reception. The system is very very easy to install, and my hard of hearing daughter can hear the rings and the conversation crystal-clear. Also, the units are very attractive and compact, so it can fit in your pocket easily. There are more great things about this phone, but enough rambling from me for now. Thanks Uniden!!!
