Uniden DECT2085-3 DECT 6.0 Cordless Phone/Answering System with Two Extra Handsets and Chargers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had 2 good Unidens in the past, I was never too thrilled with my current 2.4GHz VTech system, and I have TWO different friends with 5.8GHz Panasonic's that they are ready to use for shooting practice...
I was therefore very careful in my new purchase and I've tested every aspect of this system in the last 2 weeks - it passes with flying colors!
- Most importantly, this 1.9GHz system imparts no interference with my wireless router, parked just 3 feet away... and while it doesn't penetrate a metal garage door if you're standing right in front of it, I can walk out the front door and talk clearly halfway past my THIRD neighbor's house.
- These NiMH batteries have given me 4 days off the charger WITH 4 hours of talktime, and the charging seems to be 'smart' because they never get very warm, and get cool when fully charged. Oh, and the the handsets have actual battery gauges instead of just beeps to tell you you're about to lose the call...
- The speakerphones are quite good in both the handsets and the base-station, and when you've left the handset in another room you'll wonder how you ever lived without Caller ID and dialing on the base.
- All the various volumes and ringers are adequately loud and I find most all the controls and menu functions intuitive. The single exception is the 'hold' function, which ought to be a single key-press, but requires pushing Intercom, then Select and then Hang-up to stop everything from ringing... I also love (maybe common nowadays) the answering machine message indicators on the handsets and the ability to both retrieve messages from the handsets and also to monitor an incoming message.
As you can tell, I'm VERY happy with my new system, and I hope it lasts a long time (like my previous Unidens...)

Uniden UIP165P Packet8 Compatible 5.8 GHz Digital VoIP Internet Telephone with Speaker Phone Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I started with packet8 2 years ago. I have been very heppy with the service and have saved a minimum of about $10/month for the last 2 years over other Vendors.
About 6 months ago, I started having some line problems. I started a case on the website and was emailed the next day by a technician that told me I should check the software version of my packet8 "box". I followed the directions and updated the firmware, which cleared up the problem.
Lastly Packet8 recently sent to their customersout a "VOIP Quality & Connectivity Speed Test". What I found out is that voice quality is directly proportional to total line speed and amount of throughput available during the call. Meaning if I am downloading a big file, streaming music and talking on the packet8 line, I better have a big "pipe" of internet connectivity or my call will not sound very good.
I recommend that everyone consider that VOIP (no matter what company you deal with) is dependant to your internet connection. If you are paying for the cheapest, lowest DSL connection available, don't blame Packet8 for spotty calls while you surf/download/stream.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have the DECT1580-3 version (3 handsets). My wife and I love it. The range and sound is much better than our 900Mhz and 2.4Ghz phones. Plus at 1.9Ghz these phones no longer interfere with WiFi.
Pros:
*Only one phone jack needed for all phones (great for Vontage or such)
*Great speakerphone really useful with dial-up "customer" service
*Can name each handset, so one can xfer/page by their name/location
*One phone book for all phones (or separate, if desired)
*Lighted keypad
*Number of messages counter on base
*New message light (LED) on phone
*Listen to recorded and screen live incoming messages from any phone
*Easy to add extra handsets as needed (like DWX207 Waterproof Handset)
Cons (all minor gripes):
*Single voice mail box
*No keypad/speakerphone on base
*No headset jacks
*Old style NiCd Batteries instead of better NiMh or Lion
*Base wall mount bracket not included, extra handsets not wall mountable
Overall I would strongly recommend this Uniden Dect6.0 phone.

Uniden UIP1869V Expandable Vonage Internet Phone System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The fact that this phone handles only one line is somewhat hidden, I will agree. However, with some quick research, you will find that there are few SIP phones that will handle two lines without getting into the Cisco series phones, by which time you're already into the $300-$400 range. And thats still corded! Granted, there are options like the Sipura SIP841 (which I own), which will do 2 lines, and 4 with a license, for only $99 or so. But that's neither here nor there.
The Uniden UIP1869V is a solid phone. Simple to set up. Easy to use. My only real gripe is the inability to sync the addressbook of the cordless handset(s) automagically with the base station. But I can live with it, I'll just make sure I enter new entries on the base station, and push them from there. Otherwise, setup was simple. Enter the MAC address on the Vonage activate page, and you're done. I added QOS rules into my Netscreen to guarantee bandwidth, and I have crystal clear calls.

For those of us who suffer from huge cell phone bills while we travel or from outrageous landline bills from international calls, help has finally arrived. Thanks to a unique partnership between Uniden and Vonage, there's now a convenient and viable alternative to those bills. With the Uniden UIP1869V Whole House VoIP Phone System for Vonage, you can take advantage of the huge costs savings and the increased functionality that VoIP offers, without losing any of the functionality or convenience of your current home or business phone system. Unlike most VoIP phone sets that keep you tied to your modem as you make phone calls, the Uniden UIP1869V supports up to 10 wireless handsets, which means you can move throughout your house or office while you're on the phone. With Vonage's service, you will have the advantage of realizing huge cost savings on long distance and international calls.
VoIP: How It Works VoIP is an acronym for Voice over Internet Protocol, or, in more common terms, phone service over the Internet. If you have a broadband connection, you can get your phone service delivered to you through your Internet connection instead of from your local phone company. Unlike most other services that require that you install an extra, bulky analog adapter to your existing analog phone, the base set on the Uniden UIP1869V has a built-in adapter. Just plug the phone into your modem, and when you make a call, your voice will automatically converted into data and sent across the Internet lines just like e-mail. And when the person you're calling picks up, it sounds just the same as any other call. Likewise, when someone calls you, you answer it like you would any phone call. It's that simple. Like traditional land lines, Vonage gives you all the options that you've grown to expect from any phone company, including Caller ID, Call Waiting, Three-Way Calling, Call Return, and much more. So if VoIP gives you everything a traditional phone service offers, why would you want to switch? For starters, your monthly costs will be dramatically lower. In addition to unlimited calling in the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico, Vonage offers significant savings on international rates, and you are not required to commit to an annual contract. Depending on where you live in the U.S., you can save 90% and more on many of your calls to Europe, for instance. But lower costs are only the beginning. With Vonage VoIP service, you can also choose the area code you want to use. So if you live in San Francisco, but most of your family, friends, or business clients are in New York, you can choose a New York area code. Better yet, if you are living abroad temporarily, you can take your number with you, or choose a U.S. area code to keep the costs of your U.S. calls low. Vonage VoIP service also gives you the option of checking your voice mail by phone or e-mail or via the Internet, and you have several calling plans to choose from. And did we mention that you can use your Vonage account anywhere in the world that has an Internet connection? You can either take the Uniden UIP1869V with you and simply plug it into an Internet connection, or take a Vonage adapter (a free adapter is provided with every account) and plug any regular analog phone into it. Whether you're in Atlanta or Zimbabwe, as long as you have an Internet connection, you can make or receive calls using your own telephone number. The Base and Handset Details In addition to all the outstanding calling features that Vonage VoIP offers, the Uniden UIP1869V is packed with advanced features that you'd expect from a high-quality phone.Included with the package is base keypad with a corded handset and a digital 5.8 GHz handset and charger. The units let you store up to 400 numbers (100 names with four numbers per name) and they feature a 100-Caller ID and phone book memory. In addition to letting you transfer calls between headsets, you can also use your phones for two-way radio calling between the base and a handset, or even between handsets. Other features include a built-in pager so you can always locate your handsets, illuminated keypads, 20 ring tones to choose from, hold/mute/redial functions, a "do not disturb" message, adjustable ringer and volume control, anonymous call rejection, and a message waiting indicator with alert. In short, the Uniden UIP1869V gives you everything you'll need to keep your communications flowing. And if you have multiple lines and a FAX, don't fret. The Uniden UIP1869V can be configured for up to two VoIP voice lines and a separate dedicated VoIP FAX line. Note: This phone is only compatible with Vonage VoIP services. A service plan (sold separately) with Vonage is required. See www.vonage.com for more information on plans and pricing.
