Uniden DXAI5588-2 Cordless Telephone

Don't be fooled by the 5.8GHz

Strengths: Dual Handsets, so that at least u can put one in a room without phone jack

Weakness: Noise, static; no intercomm mode between handsets

Don't be fooled by the 5.8GHz, it's 5.8GHz analog, which offers the same quality as a 900MHz, or even worse. Also there's no intercomm mode between handsets, which is pretty common features in other brands.

It's OK for the price

Strengths: Inexpensive replacements for my 2.4 GHz phones (that keep interfering with my WiFi signal).

Weakness: Poor reception and doesn't measure up to my old 900 MHz Uniden

This phone does have some static, especially if you're too far away from it (as I have a large backyard). Usage within the house is good enough. The battery life also seems to be good. The plus of having the second handset is that I don't have to add a phone outlet to one of the rooms in my house that doesn't already have one. I've bought some Uniden products in the past and think that this one...

reiew for uniden dxai5588 coreless phone

Strengths: 5.8Ghz, answering machine

Weakness: Bad signal

I bought this phone 3 days ago. Overall result is good. The worst thing is that sometimes the signal is very bad. I can not hear what others said over the phone. But most time it's great working condition. If you can tolerate temporary interruption of phone. This one is your choice.

uniden dxai5588-2 cordless phone

Strengths: this has much clarity than the 900mhz & 2.4ghz phones in shorter range

Weakness: much distortions in longer range than 900mhz &2.4ghz phones.

if you are using only inside the home ,this is a pretty good buy for the money.this is cheepest answering machine with 2 handsets,i have seen yet.i feel very rare chance for a crosstalk at shorter range due to high freq operation.there is non need change the channels also.

Fantastic Cordless Phone

Strengths: -Many features common to more expensive models -Great service both inside and outside of home -Sound quality best of any cordless ever owned

Weakness: Standup set only (would prefer lying down) but very usable

This Cordless Phone is the best model our family has ever purchased and much less costly than others that have fewer features. The sound quality is great both inside and outside the home. One would think this model should be priced much more. Its only drawback is that it is a standup and we prefer lying down models, but its other features far outweight this small issue. A great bargain and even...

Don't buy this phone

Strengths: cheap 5.8 GHz phone

Weakness: Static and poor reception

Don't buy this phone. It's crap. You get what you pay for. Once you move from the room with the base unit, the reception drops and static occurs. I found a friend who also bought this phone and he is having the same problems. If we talk to each other on the these phones, we barely can hear each other. We will not buy another phone from Uniden.

Good condition for this price

Strengths: good voice quality, low price, multi-function

Weakness: charger is a little warm after some hours

this is not as bad as someone as on amazon.com, voice quality may vary due to different environment. In my house, it is good. Especially for this price, I should not expect more. just the charger become warm after used couple hours, but it is acceptable.

This is a terrible phone

Strengths: Good set of features, and easy to program.

Weakness: Reception past 25ft is non-existant. High-pitched screeching tones interrupt conversations (not call waiting).

Look past this phone. I purchased one yesterday, and will return it tonight. It is completely unusable in my environment. At 25ft it breaks up, and I get these unbelievable high-pitched screeching tones that must be from some kind of local interference. Noise is introduced into from virtually every source. The manual recommends that when you get loud static you should turn off your fluorescent...

cheap 5.8 GHz phone

Strengths: Pretty usable

Weakness: Static and poor reception

This Cordless Phone is muchless costly than others that have fewer features. The sound quality is great both inside and outside the home. A great bargain and even comes with two handsets. However, once you move from the room with the base unit, the reception drops and static occurs.

Terrible Phone

Strengths: It does not interfere with my wireless system

Weakness: Poor reception - very hard to hear the person talking on the phone - battery life is terrible

We have had this phone for 6 months and we have finally had enough. Today we are going to purchase a new phone. The batteries are no longer functional, when I call home I can barely hear the person on the phone talking, the range of the phone to the hand set is terrible.
