...and you get an answering machine, to boot! Other reviewers have noted some issues (low hum when many walls stand between the base and the receiver while you're online; cruddy OGM quality; speakerphone [which you have to use if you're recharging the receiver's battery and don't want to pick the receiver up] stinks), and I would add that the answering machine is inoperable while the receiver is being recharged, but there may not be a better 900MHz DSS phone w/ digital AM around for the price. ....For what it's worth, Consumer Reports thought highly of Uniden DSS phones, too.

I've had this phone for about 6 months and have been very pleased. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles such as caller ID or call waiting, features I don't need, but does offer dss security which I really wanted. I can take it outside or in the basement without sound quality problems. Also, the handset feels comfortable in your hand, the answering machine is functional, it has a neat memo feature which allows you to leave voice messages for other household members when you leave - I just don't have anything bad to say about it!

I have tried just about all of them, from cheap to expensive, and this one is really great for the money. I have had to replace the battery once since I got it approximately 4 - 5 years ago. Sound is great, has an answering machine, caller ID, etc. Go for it and spend the extra money you save by buying this on something else.

... the battery on this uniden doesnt last more than 8 hours when its away from the base, and ive had it less than a year! the signal is pretty weak too and theres a lot of static/noise on the line when in use...
