Great little cordless smart phone

published

I bought this so I can link it to my iPhone via bluetooth and charge my iPhone, my iPad and my Apple Watch via the USB Charging Port so I don't need any wall chargers also I can import my Phonebook from my iPhone as well so I am very happy with it.

Purchased in January 2021 at Harvey Norman for A$70.00.

Faulty product, awful service

published

Initially I liked this unit - unlike others I found sound to be ok, range excellent (to point of not needing extender), and features/ accessories good. However it doesn't always reconnect on Bluetooth and recently unit started to lock up after some days so nothing would work and I would miss incoming calls. I sent it to Uniden and they took a cursory look at it and sent back as no fault found. The product wasn't fixed. They only tested for 1 hour despite being aware the lock up would only occur after some time and made no effort to contact me to clarify fault (despite being told I had video of the failure). Now I still have a faulty product and will seek a refund and get a quality brand (maybe Panasonic)

Need to know how to set up voice mail. Already have a voice mail service with Telstra but unable to get messages out. Also how do you set up the answering service.

If you're talking about setting up a Telstra voicemail service on your home phone I suggest you look at Telstra support articles such as this (or call them) as that is a separate function to the phone's built in answering machine: http://go.telstra.com.au/helpandsupport/-/messagebank-for-home-phones-explained#cat=Home%20Phone.



As for setting up the answering function and recording a greeting on the Uniden phone, it's pretty simple - on the base unit hit menu then scroll down to "Answering Setup" then from that menu scroll down to "Record Greeting" and select that option. You can also perform the same setup from the menu on any of the handsets. The answering function also has an On/Off button on the base unit.

You should probably decide whether you want to use the Telstra answering service or the built in answering machine, as you probably don't need both! I personally just use the one built into the phone.
