Amazon.com :An accessory handset for Uniden's TRU9 series, TRU8 series, CLX series, Elite series, and the UIP18 series phone systems, the TCX905 offers the same excellent range of functions you appreciate in the base. Once the handset is recognized by the system, you can review features like Call Waiting Caller ID, which includes a 100-station memory (with subscription to local service) that allows names and numbers to be transferred between handsets or moved into the permanent 10-station speed dial. DirectLink two-way radio communication is built into each handset, allowing them to function as an in-home intercom system or baby monitor.
You can transfer incoming calls between each handset and speakerphone on the base, and make use of the convenient hands-free design by using the included belt clip and built-in headset jack (headsets available separately). Easily adjust handset and ringer volume levels to your comfort, and set the handset LCD menu to one of three menu languages (English, French, or Spanish). A page button lets you quickly locate the handset if it's strayed under the couch cushions. Redial any of the last three called numbers at the touch of a button, activate three-way calls or just enjoy the consistent clarity of the 5.8 GHz digital signal transmission.

* BEST PHONE SYSTEM AVAILABLE ...
I don't want to repeat the other reviews but will say that this is a practically perfect phone system in overall design, user interface, features, and price.
You can choose to screen incoming calls from a softkey on handsets, use as independent walkie talkies, 3 last number redials, large clear backlit LCD and jeypad, great feeling keypad buttons, 4 way controller, sturdy belt clip, loud handset speakerphone, easy to adjust volumes, flasing message indicator, room monitor, up to 10 handsets, large phonebook, and more.
I know that technology always progreses, but I really am curoius how this product can be improved, barring a drastically different phone system technology emerging.
However, I will take this opportunity to to mention some SMALL improvements that could be made: The redial function could be expanded beyonf only the last 3 numbers to 20 or more (other Unidens have 20). The charging stand is mostly empty space inside and the space should be used as excess power cord storage for cleaner looking installations without any hanging bunches of power cord. Finally, an even larger phonebook would be nice but 100/200 numbers is still great.

* As good as it gets ...
Very good phone. We needed a third phone for the basement. It was easy to set up with the main Uniden system upstairs. It has been great. Nicest phone we've owned. Has also come in handy as another baby monitor.

* Good battery life, sound quality and range ...
We had just had problems with competing multi-handset Atech phone after only days of use and returned to the retailer. After consulting Consumer Reports, we bought a three-handset TRU9485 Uniden phone system for which this is an individual cordless handset addition. In other words, you need to purchase the base station separately for this handset to receive a dial tone and function.
The TRU9485 base station can handle up to ten handsets for the same number. We liked the Uniden's battery life, sound quality and range of the Uniden system through its first year of use that we bought three additional handsets. The speakerphone function works well.
This 5.8 GHz cordless is also a good phone system that is deconflicted from 2.400 GHz frequency range home wireless computer network routers, gateways, or baby monitors. If you have landline phone service in your home, strongly recommend the TRU9485 system, adding handsets as your needs grow.

* Added Phone ...
Excellent phone. This is the third handset I've added to my home. Good features and the speaker on the back of the handset is not bad at all. I use it to listen in on meetings while working at home.
