Uniden DCT6485 2.4GHz Digital Expandable Cordless System

Date Published: 6/18/08

This phone system is an excellent choice for people who want to have access to telephone service in a large area but who don’t need multiple lines or a complicated phone system. Out of the box, this system includes a base station with its own dial pad and a corresponding handset. And if additional versatility is needed, another three handsets (for a total of four) can be added to the system. Each handset uses the 2.4GHz frequency for transmissions, so range is excellent and transmissions are clear of the interference created by many household appliances. Up to 100 numbers can be stored in each handset for swift dialing, or you can dial from the 100-number caller ID/call waiting ID log. The base station has 10 additional memory locations, as well as a speakerphone and a digital answering system built in. Other features include conversation recording, a room monitor, an intercom, redial (for the last three numbers dialed), and distinctive rings. Overall, this is an excellent option for medium to large households.
