I agree with the other reviews but when I use a headset, my friends complain that it is hard to hear me, a basic platronics headset with a microphone sensitivity switch set to max was an improvement but not sufficient. I have tested these two headsets with other phones without a problem. Uniden's customer service answer was to try their own headset but I fail to see how that is going to help when it cannot compare to the quality of the Platronics.

I am a foreign student. I just want to put some fair comment on this phone. The overall performance is good. Answer machine is very clear. You can use it one and a half block away from your house. The disadvantage is that there is some background static. It is not a big deal. But I am very concerned about clarity. If you do not care, it is a good cordless phone. But I returned it.

Wife hates it..we have had trouble with signal breaking up and static on transmission. Contacted Uniden repair and they said to move to new location..easy said but not convenient to us.

Micro Wave seems to drive it nuts. I guess it would work fine if used in the front yard.

The most I like about this phone are the sound clarity, ease of use, and size. While talking from a good distance from the receiver, I've had not problem with sound. The only think I get is good quality sound. I don't miss anything what other people say.

Two things I dislike about this phone are the end botton, and the words on or below bottons. First, the end botton is fairly small. If you miss pressing it after you've done talking, which I have done several times, the phone will continue to be on and no one else can call you. So, very careful with this button. The words fade very rapidly if your not careful. I had my phone for 9 months now, and almost all the words are erased. This is all from normal usage.

This phone works great, but I only get about 100 ft from the base before it starts breaking up. In the house it has great sound quality. I like the look and feel of the handset and how almost everything is backlit. Answering machine is very good, and the flashing message indicator on the handset is helpful. I would recommend.
