Uniden TRU9280 5.8 GHz 1-Line Cordless Phone w/3 HS's
2 of 2 found this helpful The unit has a lot of nice features but some of the features were not what I had hoped they were.
Clarity- GOOD- Overall the clarity is very good and no issues as a phone system.
Features-
Answering Machine- GOOD- The system offers an answering machine that can be accessed from anyone of the handsets which is new to me and a great feature. i don't have to walk downstairs to the base station to check my messages.
Find Handset- BAD- OK..so I know where 2 of the handsets are but not the third right..so I push the find HS button and all of them beep... even if they are on a charger! so we can never find the third missing Handset because handsets are beeping all over the house! Ridiculous.
Intercom- MISLEADING/BAD- I bought the system with this feature in mind. My hope was that I would no longer need to yell for the kids thru three stories and could just intercom and it would talk from any handset. Nope..if you press intecom it only makes the phones beep and someone in the house needs to find a handset and pick it up to talk
Address Book- GOOD- You can store contact numbers for up to seventy people. This is a nice feature.
Price- GOOD- I got the system for $40 bucks so..I'll live with it.
Overall- GOOD- I'll look more deeply into features before I buy my next phone system.
Hopefully this helps you look further into available features when you buy a phone. Advice- Look-up the owners manual for a system before you buy to tell you exactly what that feature does. You only buy a new phone system once every about..five years, so do the research.
