Cons- Ringer volume is not adjustable on second handset, I frequently hang up on callers when I rest my chin against the handset. I would recommend looking for another phone. Not a great phone, but acceptable for use in Japan because it's 5.8GHz. Pros- cheap, 2 handsets, easy set up.
One other super-annoying issue is that neither handset has a mute button or function. This becomes a major problem when I'm on a conference call or using the speaker function because you cannot easily slip in and out of talking mode.Bottom line on this model: DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. The satelite cradle has a bad wire in the base so you have to rig it to make it contact with the handset, in order for it to work. This phone is really horrible and the quality is just as bad. I have had pretty favorable experience with the Uniden brand so I figured why not go for a deal. Guess I should have known with the low price that this phone would be short on quality/features. Bad idea. But this work-around doesn't last so you constantly lose connection and/or the battery charge.
Uniden DXAI8560-2 5.8 GHz Needed to buy 2 handsets, they work well and the sound quality is much better than the previous ones that I had.
I would never use this phone for an important phone call. I finally purchased a Panasonic KX-TGA740 and am VERY happy. I pity the guy who gave a review and talked about doing conference calls with this phone. It frequently drops calls much worse than any cell phone. I was about to just get rid of my land line because of this phone. This is the worst phone I've ever owned. This phone has minimal range. He fortunately submitted a followup to his review agreeing that this phone is awful.
This also amplified the sound allowing both sides of the conversation to be heard by others. Broken dial tone and slower than molases dialing. Extreme static when I could get the phones to turn on or "connect." Missed a lot of calls because the phone would NOT turn on when it was too close to the base. You can not use both handsets at once, so if you need to switch handsets to continue a call on another handset, you're out of luck. Bad speaker in one handset sounding like it was behind the key pad instead of the earpiece, sounded like talking into a plastic box.
