Had So Much Promise, But Fails To Deliver
I had so much hope for this product. After using various Uniden products over many years the only failures we had ever had was either being chewed by the dog, or an unfortunate incident with a toilet. With this sort of brand loyalty built up over decades I didn't even consider any of the competitors - why would I, Uniden had never let me down (unlike that damn dog).
The marketing spiel sounded like it would do the job, the specs confirmed that this was the product that we needed (with 3 separate levels we need base + 2 handsets). Setup was ver...Read more
y easy no surprises at all, but that's where the good news ends. - It only rings 6 times before the answering machine picks it up. I have changed the settings from 6 rings to 9 rings and also 12 rings, but still the same thing. - If I do manage to get to the phone before the answering machine picks it up, when I pick up the handset it does not connect (at least, not every-time). - There are frequent issues where the handset says 'Not Connected' - The old phone would work in the shed, this one will not - even now that the base is closer to the back yard - The audio quality doesn't seem as good as the old phones, although this is quite subjective and can't be measured Unfortunately I can only rate this as 3 stars, and if I'm honest, one of those stars is only there for old times sake because of how good Uniden has been in the past, but not now.Purchased in June 2021 at Harvey Norman for A$85.00.

Phone died after 3-4 months both time
Good and reasonably priced phone except the power function died after 3 months, then the same thing happened with the replacement after 4 months. Cant be a coincidence but nobody else has complained of this happening.

Thank you for your review.
Can you please provide some more details to our customer support team at [email protected] ?
The store (the good guys) did not provide me with any info as to whether the issue was the power lead, the power lead to phone plug, or the power unit in the phone base.
They just returned them to you, so you should have that info yourself.
Uniden A.Uniden
Hi E Sharman,
I will need The Good Guys reference number assigned to your unit to be able to provide an update in our system.

Hi Denis,
Can you please confirm what is the greeting you hear when you call in? ... Read more
Thank you.I get the phone installed greeting the one with the womens voice I have put my own greeting in and played it back but when I let the phone ring out it goes to the womens greeting and when I push the button on the base it says no message received

Hi Denis
It seems like there might be a Message Bank activated on your line by your Service Provider.... Read more
The only default greeting we provide with the phone is the automated male American voice. Anything different that is heard, when calling in, will be the Message Bank service on the line. Can you adjust the ring time on the phone to test if there is an active Message Bank/Voicemail? This can help override the Message Bank that May be active. The way you are able to manually adjust the ring time on the phone, your service provider can also adjust the ring time on their end. If their Message Bank is set to a default of 7 rings you can decrease the ring time on the phone to allow our Answering Machine greeting to cut in. Please ensure that the landline is free before going through the following steps; Press MENU Scroll down to ANSWER Setup Press MENU Scroll down to RING TIME Press MENU Scroll down to 6 Press MENU to save After you have set this in, can you please try calling from your mobile and leave a message? You should be able to hear the message come through. You can choose to leave it with a shorter ring time at 6 or you can contact your service provider to deactivate the message bank on the line so that you can have a longer ring time and the messages will come directly to your answering machine base.Similar opinion?

Great value phone
Purchased this phone a few months ago to replace my old phone. As I rarely use my house phone, I wanted one for the added security of knowing that I have a phone in case of emergency. The extra handset is handy as I can keep one next to the bed while the other is in the living room. It is wifi and nbn friendly, and doesn't crackle when the microwave is used. It has an advanced alpha display caller ID, 70 phonebook memories, an integrated digital answering machine and up to 10hrs talk time and 7 days standby, and can be either wall mounted or desk mounted for convenience.

Seems to work fine. No Issues at all
Changed over to Uniden DECT phone yesterday after continuing problems I have experienced with Telstra approved hand set that I have had for 10 plus years.
Unit was was easy to set up and I had the phones working with my NBN in a matter of minutes. Batteries were included for both phones and were easy to clip in to slot in the handsets.
Now I am able to pick up calls at the press of a button and no longer experience dropouts or "screeching" hand sets when I attempt to receive a call.
The unit and handsets are neat, easy to use and appealing to look at. Very happy so far.

HOPELESS
Purchased a couple of weeks ago. Had problems since day one!
Firstly, Noise on the line when trying to make or receive a call. So loud making the phone unworkable. Having to revert to our mobile phones.
Second. Intermittent dialing tone. Sometimes you get it, sometimes nothing.
Have done all suggested checks but to no avail.
Perhaps we just got a 'bad' one but that is no help!
Unfortunately we disposed of the packaging and receipt otherwise it would have gone back to the shop.
Only solution is to bin it and purchase a new phone which will definitely NOT be a Uniden!

Easy to set up and NBN friendly
These phone system is easy to set up and connect to your modem for use through the NBN. The 3 handsets have there own charging stand, this is handy to have in different parts of the house. You will never be with out a phone that isn't charged.
I would recommend this phone to anyone wanting an easy to use phone.

An ok phone for the money
Bought the phone for $44.95 from JB Hi Fi. Single handset and base as we don't need or use extra handsets. Phone rings loud and clear, however there is no way of turning up the volume during conversations which is only a problem for my husband. We use it on speaker phone if necessary. A bit slow and painful to input phone numbers into the phone book but that is only a minor irritation. Not really a bad phone at all for the price. No problems so far.

Good value wireless landline phone.
Bought it on special for $69.-.
I have 4 handset version. Using 2 and the other 2 as spare.
Got 3 extra chargers which I don't use or need. Just using base for charging.
Great for calls. Having it on half volume and it is very clear, so there is lots of extra volume to turn it up if needed.
Clear voice on both sides. Display is good and clear. Handset light and easy to hold (comfortable in hand).
Will not let me know if missed non CID call, only registers CID calls for incoming call list!
No 24Hour clock (AM PM only)!
Centralized phone book (70 max.).
Centralized incoming call list (30 max.).
Handset specific outgoing call list (redial list 5 max.).

Poor Quality
This phone is of poor quality. When you purchase with extra hand sets, if the base unit goes wrong the other units go wrong so you have to purchase the complete package again as the extra handsets are programmed to only work with the original base. Also no volume control so if anyone is hard of hearing you have to ask the other person to speak up. This phone is not cheap compared with other simular products.

Its a phone
DECT phone - nothing special . Its OK it has TERRIBLE input strategy for adding names and numbers to the Phone book . One character at a time what for the beep enter next character wait for the beep a 10 digit Mobile number takes AGES to input. But that's probably (at this stage) the only Negative .Like all new gadgets it is necessary to refer to the manual and that seems to cover the bases. The phone itself is OK but when connected to a mobile phone - the mobile seems like its in a tin or enclosed "echo" environment- not the best reception IMHO.
Across the board I think its a good product, is cost comparable and I would not discourage anyone form a purchase.

A Great Disappointment
I have had this phone now for 9 Months and have found it to be unreliable.
Handsets intermittently won't connect to Base Station. Even the phone that Sits on the Base Station!!!
Handsets intermittently garble the incoming Speech when the outgoing Speech is fine.
Handsets intermittently garble the outgoing Speech while the Incoming Speech is fine.
The Garbling is not just restricted to one handset as are the connection problems to Base Station.
The phones all are fully charged.
I have given up on this model and are in the process switching to a Panasonic Model.
I would not recommend this model.

Great phone !
This phone set with answering machine, is our latest puchase from Uniden. We have had their phones for years, and have found them faultless. This new addition is good looking, smart and reliable. The fact that entering phone numbers on one unit automatically sends the numbers to all units is truly fantastic. Our old units required us to install numbers on each unit.
The answering machine is compact and easy to read. We are on the NBN, and receive calls via the OPTUS modem, the calls are crystal clear, with no static in the background.
I would have no hesitations recommending this/these phones to anyone.

After purchashing a Uniden phone set we have a problem
Our purchase took place at Officeworks and on getting it home and setting it up, we found that it would not connect to the NBN. Officeworks replaced the first one, then on setting up the second one it too had the same problem.
Now I am not sure if we should try a 3rd one or go for a different brand. I have heard that Uniden is a good company to deal with, but looking on the Web there are some good and some were bad comments. Maybe a bit more research is needed during a business day so that I can talk to a live person at Uniden.

Happy customers
Our previous landline phone died and we found this one suits our needs. It has a base phone and two other handsets. Was easy enough to set up, the little booklet is reasonably clear to use. Functions include answerphone, date, time, caller ID (if you have the service) redial, speaker (for hands-free use), phonebook, call waiting, conference calling, call transferring, power failure back up system, away-from-home access, to name a few. Price was good too - on special from Good Guys, down from $89 to $65. Very happy with purchase.

Great value cordless phone and does the job
We had to replace our older Uniden cordless phone and found this on special at The Good Guys for $48. A little ripper!! Set up is easy, the phone is not too clunky as our previous one. Does what it is suppose to. Didn't want to spend a fortune as we use our mobile mostly. Highly recommended

Bargain Big W at $ 89
Excellent phone easy to set up, Adding numbers is a slow process ( unless am missing something). Replaced a DECT 165 the base died on me, took a long time to get that when the 88 umber is flashing it means the base is dead. Seeing what I consider a bargain at Big W I bought it. Easy to set up and I added other phones from my DECT 165.......Lost all the numbers when it had to be reset then reregistered to the new base. Very happy with the old 165 and will be even more happy with the 175. I find the based is light but a bit of blue tack keeps it from moving.

So far so good
Haven't had it long, so will update once better tested, but so far so good. Fairly easy to setup, although for initial setup lots of extra button pushes to put in multiple phone numbers.
Very handy that you set the time on one handset, and all 3 use that time. Likewise with the phonebook, automatically syncs between phones, don't even need to tell it to do anything.
Call quality seems good, but will reserve final judgement until more use and then see whether the star rating needs adjusting as well.
Having used this for awhile I can report no...Read more

Thank you.
As long as the uniden answering machine is turned on it should have no problems receiving messages.
Now there will only be two things that will prevent your answering machine to respond correctly.
An active message bank setup with your provider. Have it removed permanently.
Ring time is not enough. Ask the provider to extend ring time to max on their end.
Once all sorted out with the provider everything should be in working order responding to the amount of rings you set to either 6, 9 or 12 rings.
