|  | | Interference Free Cordless Frequency
The DECT2088 utilizes DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) technology with a frequency range of 1.9 GHz, which means you won't have to worry about this phone interfering with your Wi-Fi networks. In addition, you'll enjoy maximum voice security and the clearest voice reception, so there's no struggling to hear or be heard while talking on the phone. Digital Technology For Message Management
The DECT2088 includes a digital answering machine with handset access and an impressive 14-minute recording time, so you'll never miss an important message. This system also uses microchip technology for clearer recordings and longer life. And you won't have to worry about replacing broken moving parts! User-Friendly Features

The large, easy-to-read LCD screen clearly displays the date, time, extension and other data and is also compatible with the caller-ID and call-waiting display. And the 70 phone book locations and 30-number caller ID history help ensure that you'll never need to hunt for a number again. And the three-party conferencing option, which allows you to conference Line 1, Line 2, base and caller, is great for talking to friends and family members. Expandable, Dependable Operation
The DECT2088 truly adapts to your needs by being expandable to up to six handsets, and by offering time-saving features. First, the high visibility message waiting indicator lets you immediately know when someone has left a message. And when you're on the phone and the call waiting beeps, you won't have to wait to find out who's calling--the LCD clearly displays the name and number of the caller in call waiting. (Note: to activate this feature, you must subscribe through your telephone company.) You can also use the handset as a speakerphone, transfer calls between handsets and personalize ringers so you'll know who's on the line before you pick up the phone. To save you time, this system also offers last five number redial capabilities. About DECT Technology
Advanced DECT 6.0 technology, or Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications, operates on the newly released 1.9 GHz frequency band that was recently allocated to support cordless telephony. Uniden DECT 6.0 incorporates unique "listen before transmit" technology that avoids interference with many household products, such as baby monitors, microwaves and WiFi (which operate on frequencies like 2.4 GHz). As a result, DECT phones offer consumers enhanced voice clarity and crystal clear digital sound quality. DECT 6.0 technology also offers higher security and voice protection, as well as a longer battery and battery standby life than existing 2.4 GHZ or 5.8 GHz phones. The DECT2088 is backed by a one-year limited warranty. |

 Really good phone - could have been great. May 29, 2008
Andrew Balthazor
22 out of 22 found this review helpful
I got this phone because my 5.8 GHz phone system was having trouble reaching the three levels of my house. I was also looking for a phone system that had phone-book sharing capabilities, as well as a corded handset on the base for use during power outages, which are frequent in my part of the world. The phone is pretty good, but with the addition or improvement of its current features it could have been great.
This phone satisfies me in all of these aspects. The range on it is great, even through multiple floors (I currently have the base on my top floor, and handsets on the bottom, with only minimal static despite a two floor separation.) Intercom features and transferring calls between stations works well, and there is a 'privacy mode' that will prevent other stations from entering your phone conversation if you desire, which is a nice touch.
Audio quality is fine, although I have not thoroughly tested it. The speakerphone on the base is pretty good; I like the fact that you can put the base on speaker and then hang up the corded handset without hanging up the call, which is the case on some other base speakerphones.
The phone book sharing isn't centrally based; you can 'copy' a handset or the base's phone book to any other station, one at a time. Duplicate numbers appear to be either skipped or overwritten, so you don't end up with redundant entries. It works fairly well. I would have liked some software and a computer link to download contacts from my computer, or maybe a bluetooth connection to download contacts from a mobile phone.
CallerID does not use your phone book entries to display the names of 'known' callers; it simply uses your network's caller ID default (in my case, the number only.) This is a little disappointing.
The included handset, the DCX 200, is basic, with fairly cheap buttons, is incredibly light (almost too light), and for some reason doesn't display the time. Only the base station displays the time. The DCX 300 handset is supposedly compatible with this phone system, so I may order one to see if it is markedly improved over the somewhat lackluster DCX 200.
The base station is of better quality; although still quite light, the buttons are of the 'raised' style, providing better tactile feedback. The corded phone of the base station is usable during a power outage, which is handy.
The menu system on both the handset and the base station is a bit difficult and counter-intuitive to use; Uniden should take some pointers from some of the more user-friendly mobile phones in the market and redesign their menu interface.
If you're looking for a phone replacement that won't interfere with wireless networks or mobile phones, this Uniden DECT phone system is a good option. You can expand the base station, which is a phone by itself with its own keypad and phonebook for dialing, with up to six additional handsets. The range and 'penetration' of the signal is greatly improved over 5.8 GHz phones, but would only be a marginal improvement over the 2.4 GHz range phones.
With some refinement Uniden could make this an exceptional phone system, but it is still a very good phone system at a pretty reasonable price.
 No other corded/cordless brands to choose from! June 12, 2008

Just received this, set it up and instantly found that the ringer on the handset, on high is ridiculously LOW! I called Uniden twice about this; when you call a recording comes on and instructs you how to change the ringer on the handset (obviously they have had problems regarding this issue). I had already set the ringer to high so I wanted to speak with someone about it, I got through pretty quickly to a live person. Her attitude was very bad, could care less and she told me "it wasn't an issue & she hadn't had any calls about it". She didn't want to be bothered. I called back, got another person who was a little more friendly, told me right away that they had many calls about this, but nothing could be done about it. So, I decided I'm going to see how it goes for a week or so...I set this up in my home office I needed the corded phone because sometimes when the power goes out I have to dig out an old corded phone, crawl under the desk and swap it out. Got tired of doing this so decided to spend a bit more and get the Uniden. I put the handset in our den so if I'm out of the office I can answer using the handset. Be warned if there is any noise going on (TV,dishwasher, etc) you won't hear it ring on high. I'm now carrying it around with me to avoid missing a call. Two weeks ago I purchased the Panasonic cordless with 4 handsets for my house (these are the Dect models), love them! Easy to set up & calls are clear. Too bad Panasonic doesn't make a corded Dect phone system! I would suggest you don't purchase this unless you absolutely have to have it. The sound is clear enough, but just may return it and go back to dealing with power outages the old way & put my old 2.4 Panasonic up.
 A dollars and good sense purchase! September 17, 2008

Recently bought this phone, and am entirely happy with the purchase. I was looking for a DECT 6.0, as I'd had one living over in England. I'm a big believer in the technology.
Initially was looking for a Panasonic, however happened across this Uniden at a great price. PLUS, really wanted to have a corded phone along with a cordless option.
There is what I'd say is a very accurate review already posted that goes into some depth on the phone, so I don't need to go into the nitty-gritty here. A few comments though:
* Clarity is great! I hear calls great, and I'm told my voice is heard loud and clear on the other side.
* I've had no problem with range, I can use the handset phone outside with great clarity and that's quite a ways away from the base. Anywhere in the house is good.
* No Wi-Fi interference, and I've got two Wi-Fi networks in the house. I was concerned about this from reports on other phone manufacturers.
* Base ringer volume is fine for me. I just carry the handset if I'm not by the base and expect a call.
* You can transfer address book from handset to base/handset.
* Like having the speakerphone on both base and handset.
* Handset has a headset jack plug-in. Happy about that.
* Handset has different ring tones if desired.
* I am fine with the handset, works and sounds fine. Although, might look at the DCX300 as next handset to add.
* I like the base design personally. Raised keys are nice.
Based on clarity, range, no wi-fi interference, and price, this is a 5 star purchase for me.
functional, but ugly June 30, 2008

the pictures are deceptive. it is *a lot* uglier than the pictures represent. the areas of the stock photographs that appear dark grey (the buttons and rim around around the outside are a bright silver plastic attempting to look like the the brushed aluminum of the products by Apple. It is a pure victory of function over form. It looks like a $30 phone.
Disappointing June 29, 2008

Very bad coverage. It's unimaginable to see in these times where the wi-fi it present in almost all parts, it can this affect so much a wireless phone one of last generation. I don't recommend it.
