* Never Again ...
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

* Long Lasting ...
I've owned this model for close to three years and I'm just now replacing the battery for the first time. Both of these phones get plenty of use, and I have been very well satisfied. No static problems in my area, and I call all over the world with these. IF and I do mean IF, they ever go out I will definitely buy again.

* Better than i thought ...
I was a little hesitant to buy this corded phone + handset since everyone was complaining about hearing 'static' with the handset; but i have no problems with it. It's even better than I thought, easy to figure out, several ring volumes, nice contrast...I highly recommend this set!
