Uniden EXS9950 900 MHz DSS Cordless Phone with Answering Machine – Customer Reviews
Great Phone!
-
I have tried just about all of them, from cheap to expensive, and this one is really great for the money.I have had to replace the battery once since I got it approximately 4 - 5 years ago.Sound is great, has an answering machine, caller ID, etc.Go for it and spend the extra money you save by buying this on something else.

Very Good Phone for the first 2 years
-
I have owned this phone for over 2 years.
Pros:
*900 MHZ DSS=Excellent range, (the second largest after my toshiba)
*Very clear connections. I haven't experienced the humming some other reviewers have.
*Lighted Keypad
*Sturdy and well built
*Very good answering machine
*No paying extra for caller ID, call waiting (no need to give my money away to the phone company)
*Belt clip and wall mountable, both handy
*Speakerphone, although it is not the best quality, ( I love the digital panasonic speakerphones)
*Good volume for audio in the handset (The panasonic I just mentioned was return for such a low volume in the handset despite setting it to the loudest volume)
*Spare charger in the base. I also bought the second battery, so my hanset is always available. I find the need to change the battery about once a week with normal use
Cons:
* If you need caller ID, get the version with caller ID, not this unit
*After the first 19-20 months the number 3 key stopped working. I decided to open the handset and clear the contacts, and that worked fine the first few weeks but the problem returned. Now I have to keep cleaning it every few weeks, which is a drag. I guess this is an issue with my unit only, so be on the look out for similar complaints
Bottom line: very good phone with great range and clarity, very good answering machine and average speakerphone. I am planning to buy it again. I will let you know4/21/2002 12:00 AM | Rating:
Very happy with this product!

I've had this phone for about 6 months and have been very pleased. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles such as caller ID or call waiting, features I don't need, but does offer dss security which I really wanted. I can take it outside or in the basement without sound quality problems. Also, the handset feels comfortable in your hand, the answering machine is functional, it has a neat memo feature which allows you to leave voice messages for other household members when you leave - I just don't have anything bad to say about it!

... the battery on this uniden doesnt last more than 8 hours when its away from the base, and ive had it less than a year! the signal is pretty weak too and theres a lot of static/noise on the line when in use...

An excellent value in 900MHz DSS for the price...

...and you get an answering machine, to boot!Other reviewers have noted some issues (low hum when many walls stand between thebase and the receiver while you're online; cruddy OGM quality; speakerphone [which you have to use if you're recharging the receiver's battery and don't want to pick the receiver up] stinks), and I would add that the answering machine is inoperable while the receiver is being recharged, but there may not be a better 900MHz DSS phone w/ digital AM around for the price.....For what it's worth, Consumer Reports thought highly of Uniden DSS phones, too.
