| consumerdude's Full Review: Uniden DCT 6465-2 2.4 GHz Twin 1-Line Cordless Pho... |
For three years, we were happy users of the Vtech 2431 2.4GHz cordless phones. The speakerphones worked well and they sounded good, but we lost a few handsets and the battery started to die on another.
After reviewing the feature sets of various cordless phones, the Uniden's seemed to have the most extensive set of features....and they looked great. And I'd had Uniden 900MHz (DSS) digital spread spectrum phones in the past and they worked great.
So we bought the new Uniden and we immediately we noticed that about half the time, there was static and drop-outs between the upstairs phone and basement basestation. In three years, our V-Tech's never hiccuped under the same conditions. To make matters worse, the phone actually dropped the connection to the base station when the microwave oven was in operation.
When we tried the handset speakerphone. There was so much echo that the party on the other end tried calling back. The echo was still there on the second call. Out of curiosity, (on the same call) we switched over the the old V-Tech handset speakerphone and BINGO...echo was gone.
In short, the performance of the phone is unacceptable.
