Best cordless phone I have ever had
I use it as my VOIP phone with the small base plugged into my modem. It has the facility to plug into it a Unden headphone set which is great when using a laptop at the same time for work. The battery has never had to be replaced as I recharge it in full and it last four days before it requires recharging again. It is by far superior to any other Uniden models that I have at present and in the past.
I would rate it as Excellent and highly recommend it.

Good Phone
This Phone operates well with good reception and has a good distance range, being a 5Ghz signal strength. Has 3 handsets in total and also incorporates a Digital Answering System. It has provided me with a good reliable service, without any issues, since purchase. The original batteries supplied are still in use and continue to provide a lengthy conversation time.

Trusted Uniden brand but...
I purchased this model from Dick Smith as I trusted the Uniden brand. It worked fine for some time until I came home from being away and the whole thing had just died? I changed power supplies but nothing? I wrote to Uniden about this and did not receive a reply. Very poor customer service. They really should replace faulty handsets. Why manufacture such cheap crap?!

Not as good as I have had before
I bought my Phone in May 2013 and with in a month one of the phone stop working. 7 months later another phone has now stop working. As a business this is very frustrating as I need my phone. Everything else about the phone was fine. Had good range when phone is in use.
When working easy to use.
This model is light and not as strong as previous phone's that I have had. So I believe it is not a good one or may be I got a lemon.

Bad instruction manual, nocustomer service
Cant even program date and time according to instructions in manual. Harvey Norman say ring Uniden, Uniden not open - just a big joke. It is really is poor by both organisations. Very unhappy. Guy in HarveyNorman not really that interested. Will take back - INSTRUCTIONS easy to follow but telephone just doesnt work!

A terrific little cordless phone and answering machine
I purchased a Uniden Extended Digital Technology Long Range Cordless Phone System XDECT 8055
I used it in my bedroom and I would high recommend it because it has greater coverage so the signal never drops out so it is always clear where ever I go inside the house or in the backyard.
Purchased in December 2021 at JB Hifi Home for A$70.00.

Bad audio
Phone arrived without any instruction manual, so downloaded 80+ pages from Uniden's websight.
Although quite easy to set-up, very disapointed with audio. Sound is tinny and echo's. Have tried all three handsets in various locations without any improvement. Have moved base station to other locartions but again without any improvement.
Have always been a Uniden fan, but this unit will make me look at other brands on the market as this one is a bin job! What a waste of money!
General style is fine
Sound, sound, sound quality is so poor

Oh no! I thought mine had a fault. I have this problem, and Dick smith were very unhelpful re return. looks like I'm stuck with a lemon? Wondered why it was a special!
I purchased this phone set, 2nd hand. The audio is terrible and I'm sick of asking people to repeat things. Is there any way to fix the audio???????????
I have had mine for over a while now and have moved house. I thought the line at other house made the audio very weak, but I was wrong. It is the phone itself. Wish I hadn't purchased this system.

Poor choice of phone
In my opinion this phone is a poor choice. I had a Telstra DECT360-9750 and it worked well in all respects. However one hand set became faulty and I returned it to the store and accepted the Uniden XDECT 8055 product instead of receiving a refund. That was a mistake.
The product came well packed. The hardware was easy to assemble and the repeater function gives good long distance coverage.
The written instructions would seem easy to follow - However for me the method to use this phones menu system was difficult to set up the features. ...Read more

Much reduced sound quality on previous model
Have just replaced an earlier Uniden system - with 8055 & 2 and the sound quality is dreadful. Constant faint hiss in the background and people calling sound like they are the bottom of a deep hole. Is is possible to take this back. So disappointed - horrible light feel to the hand set, nasty feel to key pad.
Unacceptable sound quality in head set.

I wish someone could suggest a better quality product. Very happy to ditch this horror set I have.

Love this thing
I bought this earlier in the year through JB Hifi's website and it was an internet promotion that sold this phone system along with 1x 8005 WP.
Once I received this device and installed it into the residential premises, the Yellow Waterproof phone is used a great deal of the time more than the 8055. It is pretty good for what it is and there are ample amounts of features and capabilities.
The sound quality is great and we have yet to experience any problems with it what so ever.
Everything about it.

Great features! Terrible audio!
I owned one of these for a week and took it back for a refund. I couldn't get decent sound out of it, particularly on 'speakerphone'. Reception was good but sound was intermittent and garbled, like a radio station that's not quite tuned properly.
The problem was intermittent and its character changed with different calls. Sometimes the caller had it good; sometimes I had reasonable sound, but when I did, I got a lot off feedback of my own speech, not as speech per se, but as ‘noise’.
The phone has some great features, e.g. functions lik...Read more
e 'Do Not Disturb' and 'Block Call'. It also has a 'T-Coil' setting for use by people with T-Coil hearing aids. In fact, the only way I could use this phone with half-reasonable sound was with the T-Coil function switched on, even though I don't wear a hearing aid. The T-Coil function reduced the static, feedback and breakup, but also softened my voice: callers told me that I sounded as if I was talking from miles away. I tried moving the base phone around the house, but it didn't make any difference. The line filter didn't solve the problem either. I tried turning off our Internet WiFi and just about everything else in the house and that didn't help. Just the same, it could have been an environmental issue and others might not experience what I did. So I returned it, sadly actually, as it has great features, which I would have put to good use. style, ease of use, some innovative and useful functions very poor quality sound, lack of useful support from Uniden when requested2 comments

y case,menu set up is easy to follow,the range of this phone is beyond comparison,with all the other features and the quality build i believe Uniden should be proud.bad sound quality, piercing static sound from answer machine made it totally unusable, returned phone to retailer

Good home phone system
We have been reasonably happy with this phone system.
Have had no issues with phone reception regardless of where we are standing in the house.
It is a bit of a light weight phone to hold.
I am able to attach my headset which is great and means I can talk on the phone and get some work done at the asme time.
Good reception, batteries last a long time.
Is a bit plastic feeling.

Fantastic and visually appealing unit
I purchased this with very clear criteria in mind.
Wanted to be able to answer and make a call from the base unit via speaker phone and not have to hold or pick up the cordless phone i.e. completely hands free.
Stylish and compact.
Excellent clarity in receiving and making a call and on answering machine. Ability to answer phone via the speaker button on the base. Easy to use phonebook and use of speaker button to make and end a call. Easy to read manual. Takes up minimal space on desk. Fabulous looking unit!
Probably had to pay a bit more than I was hoping but since using the phone certainly cannot complain and pleased I didn't go passed it.

Bad Audio especially on Spekerphone
Have just purchased tthe 8055+2 and am very disappointed with the sound quality. Have tried all handsets and they all have a constant echo and tinny sound regardless of whether the speakerphone is on or off. Previous sound system was a Panasonic with a good sound quality. I also have a Uniden 3315 which also has very good sound quality. I will be returning this phone if there are no easy fixes.
Good features on the base station and the handsets. Entering numbers in the Phone Book feature auto copies to other handsets..
Sound quality very poor.

Very disappointed with sound quality - echo's, tinny and for someone with reduced hearing just not suitable.

A really great phone.
At last a phone with clear loud hand set audio,and asking different
people i have been talking to,the answer is always the same,excellent,the illumination of key pad during use is very practical especially in low light areas,loading phone numbers in memory is very straight forward,as is inserting time and date,the key pad has a very logical layout and menu
is easy to follow,outside communication,due to extended range,should never be a problem,i believe Uniden should be more than proud of this phone.
Excellent clear loud hand set receive audio,easy set up procedure.
Can be expensive,shop around.

Hi I have an XDECT 8055 + 2 system which I have had for around 8 years but only used for a year after purchase. I now have the need to use it again and the base station has no life. No lights, sound, nothing. I have the correct plug in use. TIA for your advice. Kind regards. Wendy
