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.

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.).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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...

Due to the NBN notwork arriving in our district, it became necessary to reconfigure our home line extensions as they were all previously hardwired. The Uniden DECT 1735 +4 happened to be on special at The Good Guys.It was cheaper than the 1735+3, so i thought what the hell,its what we need and gives us a spare phone hand piece & battery should one of the other hand pieces fail.
A month down the track we are pretty happy with the unit,especially myself, as I suffer from industrial deafness and can have problems with people on the phone.The ...
Read moreunits have a boost or loudness button making speech much easier to hear. The built in phone contacts and answering machine make it a very useful cordless phone. I have yet to test the range and clarity in my steel shed some twenty meters up the back yard but don't really expect much as the Mate as the more expensive Uniden model and it breaks down as soon as he steps into his shed.- Date Purchased

I bought this model recently from The Good Guys. It came with a base and handset and then 3 other charging bases and handsets. Total cost was only $88 on sale. I thought it was a steal at that price. I then wanted another handset and charging base so I bought this direct from Uniden Australia for the not so cheap price of $34.00 but I thought the total cost for the whole package was still cheap. I waited until the extra handset arrived and then set up the phones in various locations throughout my 4 bedroom house. I am disabled so having p...
Read morehones scattered in various locations is ideal for my lifestyle. I then proceeded to charge all the phones at once although many came half charged. I decided to wait overnight for them to be fully charged before setting them up as per the instructions. The following day I had to register the spare handset I bought from Uniden which did not work. I then put the unregistered hand set on the main base and after several attempts it registered with the other phones and all was good. I thought the instructions could have been better but with persistence I sorted it out. For those on the NBN these phones are ideal as the main base must connect to the telephone outlet of the modem as the NBN connection renders all other phone plugs in the house useless. Once the base is connected the other handsets and charging bases can be scattered anywhere as long as the base is connected to a power point. They do not need a separate phone plug for each base hence the DECT system. I even have one phone in the garage which is great. The volume on each phone can be adjusted but I found the factory setting perfect and they do not have an unpleasant ring tone. The buttons are soft to touch and appear to be good quality and the handset is easy to hold but has a fairly small display. The main base has an answering machine and the system can also be used as an intercom. Entering numbers into the phone book is a tedious job and you need reading glasses on when doing the entering. Once its up an running it works fine with reasonable range and sound quality. The downside is that you must use Uniden batteries rather than your own choice battery and over time you need to deal with the Uniden online shop which can be slow to reply at times. Battery life is great as it uses Li Ion batteries but replacement costs can add up. I have 5 phones connected however you can have up to 6 and this is ideal for big houses, double story, and outdoor areas. The main base will always be next to the modem if using the NBN so correct positioning of the modem is essential. They come in a silver and black finish and have a fairly light weight feel. The small charging bases are very light and can easily slide or fall off elevated areas with minimum effort. Once the Address book with numbers is completed using the base station and handset you can then access the other handsets without having to input the details in each one separately. You can also conference call or use hands free but quality is a little compromised. The phone system comes with an instruction book that's not that great but can be worked out by someone with a low knowledge of phone systems and the base phone can still be used when power goes out which is handy. Handsets are all identical and can go on any base you choose and can be moved about as well so the system is flexible and user friendly. Overall if you can buy the phone system cheap and only need the base and 4 handsets its a steal but when you add an extra handset Uniden will sting you but it can still be good value. As for longevity well time will tell!- Date Purchased
