Summary: Very Poor Phone
Comment: I am not one to review things on Amazon so I must say I feel pretty strongly about this phone. We recently replaced our old phone with those one because it had caller id. This seems to be about the only plus side of it so far. The menus are confusing, there are only three volume settings for the ringer - loud, soft, and off. Loud and soft sound pretty much exactly the same. In addition to that there is no way to turn of the touch pad key tone. This means that everyone knows when I have picked up the phone to make a call because they can hear me dialing clear as day, from across the room. I called customer service and they told me there was no function to turn this off and I would have to buy a different model if I wanted that capability. This is not only a problem because there goes any discreet calling you might need to do, but because we have pets and the high pitched nature of the dial tone is very agitating to our pets. Additionally, the sound quality seems to be very poor as everything sounds muted and far away no matter how loud the handset volume is up. The call-waiting notifier is highly distracting, especially compared to our previous phone, as it is very loud and causes the person you are speaking to to drop out completely, meaning you are left with holes in your conversation. And this is just the base and corded part of the phone, it terrifies me to think of the quality level of the cordless handset, which I have yet to bother trying. I absolutely do not recommend this phone.

Comment: I love this phone. It has so many features I have not been able to use them all. I love having a second phone that is portable and has it owns charging base. Great phone. A+

Summary: Seemed like a good deal at first
Comment: This model seemed a good value for the money at first. After less than a year, though, it started dropping out on one end or both at the same time, without warning or predictability. Sometimes I can hear the caller, sometimes she can hear me, sometimes neither of us can hear the other. I haven't suffered the problems others mention with the cordless handset, but then I follow a simple rule - keep the charger where you are most likely to keep the handset, and put the handset in the charger when you are not using it! It's that simple. Short battery life is a pain, but short memory is the real culprit here. If you are going to leave the phone lying around anywhere and everywhere, buy another charger to put in the handset's most likely "second home." This is a good rule for all cordless phones, not just this model.
However - this model is very disappointing. I've heard the higher-end Unidens, like the DECT2088, are solid. Try one of them instead of this. You'll pay a good deal more, but you won't have to buy another phone in a year. I'll be keeping this for emergencies, but it's going in the storage closet once my new phone arrives.

Summary: horrible battery life....chronic uniden problem?
Comment: Second uniden product in 2 months...to be returned...battery life of cordless phone is really bad....lasts about 2 days max...with prob 3hrs usage....my old panasonic cordless would go for a week despite constant use...perhaps panasonic is a more power efficient. So back to panasonic I go..

Summary: Never Again
Comment: I wish that I could warn everyone against this product, the manufacturer and the seller. The cordless phone never worked. When I looked in the maual it referred me to an 800 number. When I called the 800 number it referred me to the page in the manual that had the 800 number. When I finally got Uniden support they had no suggestions other than that I return the unit. I contacted the seller (Electronic express) and they offered to pay for the return. I returned the unit. To their credit they sent back another corded and cordless unit but it took them forever. In the meantime the corded unit began to stop functioning every couple of days. Then it would start again. When I got the new units the cordless phonje did not work, just like the first one. And within a few days the corded one began malfunctioning intermittently just like the first one. When I called the seller again it took over ten days for them to get back to me. Just long enough for the product to be ineligble for return and replacement. Smart timing ey?
Stay away from Uniden. You can make up your own mind about Electronic Express but I won't buy from them again.Uniden CXAI5698 5.8 GHz Extended Range Corded/Cordless Phone and Answering SystemUniden CXAI5198 5.8 GHz Analog Cordless Phone with Corded Base and Answering System
