Uniden D1680 Cordless Phone with Answering system

This system has a host of improvements over my earlier system. One is that all handsets now "share" information - so if you input your phone book in ONE handset, it's now available to ALL handsets. Similarly, information on missed calls and caller ID shows up on all handsets. A second is the ability to put the phone into "sleep" mode (which, again, affects all the handsets and can be done from any set). Previously, if you wanted to actually turn the phone off completely (so that it would not ring anywhere and so that you wouldn't hear the message coming on), the only option was to unplug it. You can put this version to sleep - which is great when you're trying to avoid being disturbed at dinner (or early in the morning on a Saturday) by telemarketers. Messages will still come in, but you won't hear them until you "wake it up." It also works very well with caller ID (it seems to store about 43 numbers). My only complaint about this model is that it's much more difficult to figure out how to redial a number you recently called.

Bought this to replace older Uniden Dect 6.0 phones that were having problems (batteries not holding charge, bad buttons). Very disappointed in this newer equipment. With old Uniden, would get a "searching" message periodically -- once every week or two. This would show up before placing a call, very rarely during a call.With these Uniden D1680-3 phones, do not see a "seaching" message -- phones simply go dead in the middle of a call (about once per day!). About 50% of the time, the phone will restore itself (haven't lost the call, just neither party could hear the other). The rest of the time the call has to be redialed.Uniden emphasizes not returning the product, but to call their service line. Did so. This problem must be frequent -- they even have a special recording for it. Had already tried all of the things the recording suggested, except their last suggestion -- replace the phones with something else!!! So, I guess that is what I will do.

This unit is just what I was looking for in a home telephone, good ring tones, budget friendly, sounds great and clear, easy to read instructions and the phone has good features not to mention it's saving me $75.00 a year not to have my local Voice mail service on my phone. I only paid $20.99 with Free shipping for this phone brand new. For everyone that seemed to be having a hard time with this phone as it was very simple for me to use this phone, read the instructions, then read it with the phone in front of you and follow everything step, by step that is the easiest way to understand how to use anything you buy. Hope this helpsThanks

These phones have no ability to shut the back screen completely off when they're not on the charger so eventually they will die even when not in use unless on the charger at all times if not making calls. Plus there were no instructions but for a disc that doesn't work in any type of CD player DVD player or computer. So really I don't know what is on the disc. I figured out all the functions myself. Though a big issue is the headsets will show that I have a message on the phone but there are none and I can't get the message icon off the phone without unplugging the whole base unit. Then later the message icon returns anyway and a stupid blinking light that runs down the battery will keep flashing. So yes these things have issues.

As advertised! My phone base went kaput and I didn't want to get another model since I had four handsets that were working just fine but was inoperable without a base. The price was fine and product was in good shape and fine working order for a used phone and base!

I originally ordered one set of phone (three). Then I accidentally dropped one in a sink filled with water. I not only wanted to replace that phone (it did not work once it dried out), but I wanted two additional phones. It is less expensive to purchase an additional base with the three receivers than it is to purchase extension phones. I was able to register the three extensions with the original base without a problem. Just be sure the phones are fully charged before registering them. (The instructions do not state this.) If they are not fully charged, they will not register. First, I plugged in the new base and unregistered the phones from that base. Then I registered them with the original base. They all work great!

Terrible! We rarely use our landline at home and the few times that we try we cannot get through. The phone always has problems. Sometimes it will act as if it has no charge (though it is ALWAYS plugged in), it is difficult to erase messages and often when you pick up the phone you will have to press the button and then rather than pick up the call it will actually hang up. What a waste of money.

I bought this phone to replace the AT&T phone that I had. You could not read the CID on my phone any longer. I was able to set this new phone up in no time. It was so easy to set up and program, I was shocked. I am very pleased with the phone and the price I paid.

Thanks

Phone sound is unclear when on a call. Would not buy this again. Definitely overpaid for this.
