Uniden CXAI5198 5.8 GHz Extended Range Cordless Phone with Speakerphone

Date Published: 3/22/06

Packaged with both a cordless handset and a desktop speakerphone, this model is a versatile product for busy households. Because transmissions are sent on the 5.8GHz analog band, users will get slightly improved range and without interfering with wireless data networks. However, you may experience some interference around large appliances--computers, microwave ovens, and the like. Both LCDs are backlit, large, and easy to read, and navigation of the phones' menus is intuitive. The 12-minute digital answering machine provides acceptable clarity, and can be accessed remotely or from either phone. The phones can talk to each other through the intercom feature, and you don't have to worry about power failures, as the corded phone can operate during a blackout. Unfortunately, only ten numbers can be stored in the system for speedy dialing. Other features include: page, and a 50-entry caller/call waiting ID log.
