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.

Rating: - * Good phone ... Been going through phones left and right trying to find something useful. This is my third DECT 6.0 attempt. It is stylish, which was a factor for me with my new VOIP system that has to plug into my computer. Since my Media Center PC by my LCD TV is the one on all the time, that was where i needed it to be. So wanted something with a good look to it. Phone works well, menus aren't convoluted, very straight forward setup. I was using it within minutes. Clear sound, responsive buttons, easy voicemail unit to set up and use. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because something at this price point and level of electronics complexity certainly could have a few more options for polyphonic ringtones than it came with. Other than that lack, it is everything I've been looking for and works great. Make sure you double check that the battery plug is fully inserted - my main unit would NOT charge past the 1/3 mark but worked fine other than that - showed charging when in the cradle. Second unit had already charged fully. Checked the battery, had not got the plug snapped all the way down when I first put it together, so got it all the way in, and charged just fine. Rating:  - * Not worth the time or effort ... I thought I'd replace my older Uniden TRU8860 with the DECT3080-2. Boy, what a mistake. The 3080 is quite smaller and lighter, but does not have some of the most used features like speed dial and some of the ring tones to identify who is calling. It does have some very generic tones, but they all sound the same. It has cool led lights and backgrounds and you can customize those for who is calling but I dont want to have to get up to find the phone and look at the display to see who is calling. The reception is not that good either. I had many problems with this phone when answering the other person couldnt hear me. I tried it for about 3 weeks and then sent it back. It's not worth the $80-$120 that your going to spend. I'm going to do a lot more research to see if I can find another DECT 6.0 phone that works a LOT better. Dont waste your money on this one. Rating:  - * Top of the line Uniden cordless ... I've had two previous Uniden wireless phones, and found them better than Sony or Panasonic. This one is no exception. I chose it for its slim, light profile and top of the line features, and I'm not disappointed. Highlights: * Handset speakerphone works great * Light, slim handset * Long battery life * Address book transfers automatically easily handsets * Easy voicemail recovery from the handset * Fantastic range, works through all the walls in our house * No interference with our WiFi network * Small footprint remote handset charger fits easily on bedside table The only downside I could think of is that my iPhone headset doesn't fit the jack, but this doesn't warrant deducting a star. Five stars. Rating: - * I moved my wireless router and now I don't have dropped calls ... I gave this phone a bad review when I first began to use it because we were experiencing 'out of range,' dropped calls and lost signal errors daily. However, all my problems went away when I moved my wireless router about 6' away from the phone's main base. I put this new system in the same spot as my old 900MHz, the old phone worked great in that spot so I thought this one would work, too. That wasn't the case. For whatever reason, the DECT-6 3080 was dropping our phone calls all the time. All I had to do was move the wireless router and now we absolutely love these phones. No more dropped calls. Rating: - * Very good, but not quite perfect ... I had static when I first used this phone. I got my return authorization from Amazon and packaged it up before I noticed that I'd forgotten to put the DSL filter on the line. Since then the phone has been perfect from a reception standpoint. I really appreciate the ability to name each phone. I can then then page it by name rather than by number. I haven't seen another phone with that feature. I also bought this phone for the multibase capability, but it's been completely unnecessary. The base is at the back of the first floor and reception is perfect at the front of the third floor. Pros: - It actually looks pretty good for a phone. - Multibase - Very clear call quality - Can name phones and change display background (more choices would be nice) - Can use names in intercom - Can send phonebook between phones Cons: - None compared to other systems I've used Features I'd still like to see: - A shared phonebook - The ability to intercom a specific person (i.e. have a specific ring for my daughter) |
