|
The DECT2088 utilizes DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) technology with a frequency range of 1.9 GHz, which means you won't have to worry about this phone interfering with your Wi-Fi networks. In addition, you'll enjoy maximum voice security and the clearest voice reception, so there's no struggling to hear or be heard while talking on the phone. Digital Technology For Message Management The DECT2088 includes a digital answering machine with handset access and an impressive 14-minute recording time, so you'll never miss an important message. This system also uses microchip technology for clearer recordings and longer life. And you won't have to worry about replacing broken moving parts! User-Friendly Features Designed to be easy to use, the DECT2088 offers menu prompts in both English and Spanish, while the backlit keypad makes it a snap to enter phone numbers or access features in any light setting. The large, easy-to-read LCD screen clearly displays the date, time, extension and other data and is also compatible with the caller-ID and call-waiting display. And the 70 phone book locations and 30-number caller ID history help ensure that you'll never need to hunt for a number again. And the three-party conferencing option, which allows you to conference Line 1, Line 2, base and caller, is great for talking to friends and family members. Expandable, Dependable Operation The DECT2088 truly adapts to your needs by being expandable to up to six handsets, and by offering time-saving features. First, the high visibility message waiting indicator lets you immediately know when someone has left a message. And when you're on the phone and the call waiting beeps, you won't have to wait to find out who's calling--the LCD clearly displays the name and number of the caller in call waiting. (Note: to activate this feature, you must subscribe through your telephone company.) You can also use the handset as a speakerphone, transfer calls between handsets and personalize ringers so you'll know who's on the line before you pick up the phone. To save you time, this system also offers last five number redial capabilities. About DECT Technology Advanced DECT 6.0 technology, or Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications, operates on the newly released 1.9 GHz frequency band that was recently allocated to support cordless telephony. Uniden DECT 6.0 incorporates unique 'listen before transmit' technology that avoids interference with many household products, such as baby monitors, microwaves and WiFi (which operate on frequencies like 2.4 GHz). As a result, DECT phones offer consumers enhanced voice clarity and crystal clear digital sound quality. DECT 6.0 technology also offers higher security and voice protection, as well as a longer battery and battery standby life than existing 2.4 GHZ or 5.8 GHz phones. The DECT2088 is backed by a one-year limited warranty. |

Rating:  - * A dollars and good sense purchase! ... Recently bought this phone, and am entirely happy with the purchase. I was looking for a DECT 6.0, as I'd had one living over in England. I'm a big believer in the technology. Initially was looking for a Panasonic, however happened across this Uniden at a great price. PLUS, really wanted to have a corded phone along with a cordless option. There is what I'd say is a very accurate review already posted that goes into some depth on the phone, so I don't need to go into the nitty-gritty here. A few comments though: * Clarity is great! I hear calls great, and I'm told my voice is heard loud and clear on the other side. * I've had no problem with range, I can use the handset phone outside with great clarity and that's quite a ways away from the base. Anywhere in the house is good. * No Wi-Fi interference, and I've got two Wi-Fi networks in the house. I was concerned about this from reports on other phone manufacturers. * Base ringer volume is fine for me. I just carry the handset if I'm not by the base and expect a call. * You can transfer address book from handset to base/handset. * Like having the speakerphone on both base and handset. * Handset has a headset jack plug-in. Happy about that. * Handset has different ring tones if desired. * I am fine with the handset, works and sounds fine. Although, might look at the DCX300 as next handset to add. * I like the base design personally. Raised keys are nice. Based on clarity, range, no wi-fi interference, and price, this is a 5 star purchase for me. Rating:  - * Decent Phone ... Operationally, this phone is not as intuitive as my other Uniden but all in all a good purchase. I'd buy it again. Rating: - * functional, but ugly ... the pictures are deceptive. it is *a lot* uglier than the pictures represent. the areas of the stock photographs that appear dark grey (the buttons and rim around around the outside are a bright silver plastic attempting to look like the the brushed aluminum of the products by Apple. It is a pure victory of function over form. It looks like a $30 phone. Rating:  - * Disappointing ... Very bad coverage. It's unimaginable to see in these times where the wi-fi it present in almost all parts, it can this affect so much a wireless phone one of last generation. I don't recommend it. Rating: - * No other corded/cordless brands to choose from! ... Just received this, set it up and instantly found that the ringer on the handset, on high is ridiculously LOW! I called Uniden twice about this; when you call a recording comes on and instructs you how to change the ringer on the handset (obviously they have had problems regarding this issue). I had already set the ringer to high so I wanted to speak with someone about it, I got through pretty quickly to a live person. Her attitude was very bad, could care less and she told me "it wasn't an issue & she hadn't had any calls about it". She didn't want to be bothered. I called back, got another person who was a little more friendly, told me right away that they had many calls about this, but nothing could be done about it. So, I decided I'm going to see how it goes for a week or so...I set this up in my home office I needed the corded phone because sometimes when the power goes out I have to dig out an old corded phone, crawl under the desk and swap it out. Got tired of doing this so decided to spend a bit more and get the Uniden. I put the handset in our den so if I'm out of the office I can answer using the handset. Be warned if there is any noise going on (TV,dishwasher, etc) you won't hear it ring on high. I'm now carrying it around with me to avoid missing a call. Two weeks ago I purchased the Panasonic cordless with 4 handsets for my house (these are the Dect models), love them! Easy to set up & calls are clear. Too bad Panasonic doesn't make a corded Dect phone system! I would suggest you don't purchase this unless you absolutely have to have it. The sound is clear enough, but just may return it and go back to dealing with power outages the old way & put my old 2.4 Panasonic up. |
