User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Great for Magic Jack
Bought tghis for use with Magic jack and it has proven to be a good investment. Great sound and no issues.

2 Stars Faulty Button Design
I’ve owned this base unit with two additional handsets for about a year and a half, and the middle button, which sets volume and accesses caller ID, has stopped functioning. I can no longer change volume, cycle through menu commands, and access caller ID for these two phones. I’ve contacted Uniden customer service through their web interface and received a canned message stating that they will only offer replacement up to a year, and after that a 10% discount. Since I had the problem on two phones, I have concluded that they were poorly designed, and have elected to purchase an entirely different DECT system (from a different manufacturer). Its too bad, because otherwise this was a great handset with an unmatched feature set, though the overall range wasn’t that great.

5 Stars Fantastic phone
The phone worked easily out of the box. The shortcut instructions were especially helpful. The phones easily initialize to the base, let it charge and your ready to go. I use it mostly for day to day phone calls and it works great. The only annoying thing about it is the center button which allows you to access the phone functions. It can be a little difficult to tap into the individual functions. Otherwise, I would highly recommend this phone.

1 Star The speaker phone is horrible
I bought this particular phone because I didn’t need an answering machine. This phone is horrible and I would not recommend it. I have terrible static in this phone. I have e-mailed customer service twice in the last 6 months and haven’t heard a word. I’m really disappointed in the speaker phone and the static. I have always purchased a Uniden phone and this is the worst experience I have had with one of there products.

5 Stars Uniden Cordless Phone
Excellent phone when all you need is a phone, no answering system. I’ve owned 2 other Uniden phones. They were all very good, but they just keep getting better with their newer models. I use this phone with a voip system and I can’t really think of any other features I would want or need. The phone is of excellent quality, easy to use and well built. I’ve gotten accustomed to all the fine features of this phone, so I can’t really say how it compares with other brands.

One feature that’s pretty cool is you can have a separate ring tone for different people in your phone book. Set one ring tone for you, one for your wife, one for the kids, etc. You always know who it’s for.

I’ve ordered quite a few products from Beach Audio/Beach Camera before. Prices are great, packaged very well in good condition and arives in just 2 days with standard shipping.
