Uniden TRU8866 5.8 GHz 2-Line Cordless Phone

Pros: Fully featured, easy to use cordless, 5.8GHz phone.
Cons: You'll get no complaints from me!

I've had two lines in my home for as long as I can remember. But it's been years since I had a multi-line telephone. Having recently moved into a larger loft, I needed more phones and I felt it was time to move beyond having multiple single line ...

Pros: Range, voice quality, display, ringers
Cons: Feedback, non-standard batteries

I bought this phone (and 4 additional handsets) about 1 month ago to replace a 2.4ghz siemans 2400 phone that was experiencing interference from a neighbors wireless lan. See below for info on wireless lan interference with cordless phones. My ...

Pros: good volume, comfortable form factor, good reception, easily expandable
Cons: voice "echo", CID not in sync, handset speakerphone sucks, DND useless

I've started working out of my home a lot more and so I needed a better telephone set up. I switched on of my lines to VOIP and bought this phone. So far, despite a few problems, it's been a very good phone. But there wasn't a lot to choose from -- if ...

Pros: Sound clarity, Two Line Support, Impressive Expandability, Solid feel & Compact size of handset
Cons: Smallish buttons and...No Chain Dialing!

I found the perfect phone for a work-at-home arrangement - or so I thought. Uniden phones have always been "the" cordless phone for me - oh, sure, I dallied with the good-looking Sony in the mid-90s but when its batteries could be revived no more back ...

Pros: Wireless network compatibility, powerful base speakerphone, good voice quality when in range
Cons: Signal range simply showstopper unacceptable, no DnD per handset, only one powered speakerphone

Needless to say, I was very excited when Uniden released the TRU8866 5.8Ghz 2-line phone. I've been waiting for a 2-line cordless phone in this frequency range to avoid interfering with my wireless network for some time. In many ways, the phone is quite ...

Pros: Lots of features. No external antennae.
Cons: Unreliable. NO customer service.

We replaced an nearly identical Uniden System with this after we lost two handsets during the move. We moved into a house more than double the size of our old house, not to mention having a garage. Not every space in the house had a phone jack, ...

Pros: Clarity, range, message waiting indicator can be tied to provider's voicemail system
Cons: Message waiting indicator is not large enough

Bought this phone when our previous corded 2-line phone gave up the ghost in an electrical storm, which was fine as both my wife and I hated that thing (it was GE, seemed really nice when we bought it, but the software in it was seriously buggy). My ...

Pros: Build Quality, Straightforward User Interface, Handset Speakerphone
Cons: Minor voice quality issues: Voice feedback (see below) and microphone performance

Overall, I have been pleased with this phone, particularly on usability and build quality. The interface is intuitive and easy to use. The range has been fine, with signal degradation only on the back balcony (only 40 feet away from the base station, ...

Pros: Great sound quality. Less prone to interference from microwave ovens or wireless computer networks.
Cons: None really.

We have had Uniden cordless phones in the past. All of them had lasted a long time. This one feels like it should hold up for a decent amount of time, too. I wouldn't drop it on a tile floor or step on it, though. The sound quality is very good. It is ...

Pros: Good features. Good sound quality. Decent design.
Cons: Bad intercom user interface. Unable to adjust intercom ring tone or volume.

I'm coming from a Panasonic 3 handset system which I have truly loved and is still working great. I needed a multi-line phone and couldn't find a Panasonic model with the features I needed so I decided to try this Uniden set. So far, I have no ...

Pros: good sound, good range, excellent voicemail support, good handset
Cons: poor voice quality on headset, caller ID issue, no chain dialing

My current Siemens 2400 phone system was starting to get flaky so I was in the market for a new phone. I zeroed in on the 8866 sine I needed support for 2 lines, at least 5 handsets, and phone company voicemail. Reviews looked good so I bought a base ...

Pros: Add up to 10 handsets, built in speakerphone, cid, great coverage
Cons: Doesn't work during power outages, no answering system, buttons on the small side.

This phone, along with the three satellite TCX860 handsets I installed at the same time, has been working great. Just over a month ago I ordered the 8866 to replace four other aging 2.4GHz phones - three Panasonics and one Sony, all 900MHz phones. ...

Pros: 2-Line 5.8GHZ phone, will not interfere with Home Wireless WiFi networks, great voice quality
Cons: None yet. Uniden web site troubleshooting information could be better.

Before I purchased this phone I read all of the negative reviews here at epinions which almost drove me away from this product. Since there was no other 2-line 5.8GHZ phone available in this price range, I decided to take a risk and give it a try. I have ...

Pros: Distinctive Ring for incoming Caller ID Display Intercom
Cons: No distinctive ring, answering machine, volume control, intercom speaker phone

Just like so many others, I've been waiting for a 5.8ghz 2-line phone. We were using the Seimens 2420, but after * 2 replacements handsets * 2 replacement base units * Handsets that fade out during a conversation * Interference with the wireless ...

Pros: OK Price, rugged, 5.8 Ghz, OK display and loud ringer, decent volume, range, battery life
Cons: Speakerphone in handsets, counterintuitive buttons,

I own a small auto shop and a reasonably priced and rugged two line wireless phone setup is an absolute must for us. Our first was a Vtech single line with 4 phones and the phones just wore out after about 9 mos of use. We also realized we needed 2 line ...
