Uniden DECT2185-2 Review by Gift Card "YonkersJohn" (Yonkers, NY USA)

This phone is nothing to write home about. The speaker phone volume and the answering machine volume are controlled together.
You are unable to turn off the answering machine volume and have the speaker phone volume up.
The phone itself is light and difficult to rest on your shoulder while in use.
I can't direct dial numbers from my phone book with numbers that have area codes. I have to re-enter the numbers into my phone book prefacing the numbers with a 1.

This is ridiculous!!!...It goes on and on and on.

Uniden DECT2185-2 Review by A. Wilks "ADW23" (Atlanta)

So, I went and purchased the DECT 2185-2 after much research online and at local stores (Costco/Walmart/Target). I have to say upfront, that maybe I am just a complete idiot. I have had two prior Uniden cordless phone systems over the past 6 years and have been very happy with the quality and usability of their products.

I received my DECT 2185-2 in the mail and was super excited to get it setup. The Uniden that I am replacing is only holding a battery charge for about 1.5 hrs, so getting a new set that will be good for 15 hrs + is a GOOD thing ;-) I get the new system all setup, and begin to go through the handset config. I realize that the handset's do not have a headset jack (2.5 or 3.5)!!!??? WTF? I guess I should have realized that as I was unboxing the unit and it didn't come with any holster clips!!! I find it hard to believe that Uniden would offer a cordless phone (here in 2010) that doesn't have a headset jack OR a holster clip.

Where me being an idiot comes in - I didn't even think to look at the spec's on the phone when I was researching to confirm if it had a jack/holster. My last two Uniden phone systems (purchased 6 years ago), BOTH have these features....UNBELIEVABLE.

Anyway, I have returned the DECT 2185-2 to Amazon. I still want to purchase a Uniden system, as I am familiar with them and know they are typically great quality. I will probably just shop local so that I can physically determine that the system I buy, has the phone jack/holster features.

The base unit mic isnt as good as the folks you talk to cant seem to hear you very clearly even you speak from a foot away from the mic.

Uniden DECT2185-2::Description

The DECT2185-2 utilizes DECT technology with a frequency range of 1.9 GHz, which means you won't have to worry about this phone interfering with your Wi-Fi networks. In addition, you'll enjoy maximum voice security and the clearest voice reception, so there's no struggling to hear or be heard while talking on the phone. The DECT2185-2 includes a digital answering machine with handset access and an impressive 14-minute recording time, so you'll never miss an important message. The user friendly design of the DECT2185-2 offers menu prompts in both English and Spanish, while the blue backlit keypad makes it a snap to enter phone numbers or access features in any light setting. The large, easy-to-read LCD screen clearly displays the date, time, extension and other data and is also compatible with the caller-ID and call-waiting display. The 70 phone book locations and 30-number caller ID history help ensure that you'll never need to hunt for a number again. Enjoy the three-party conferencing option, great for talking to friends and family members. The DECT2185-2 truly adapts to your needs by being expandable to up to six handsets and by offering time-saving features. First, the high visibility message waiting indicator lets you immediately know when someone has left a message. And when you're on the phone and the call waiting beeps, you won't have to wait to find out who's calling--the LCD clearly displays the name and number of the caller in call waiting. (Note: to activate this feature, you must subscribe through your telephone company.) Use the handset as a speakerphone, transfer calls between handsets and personalize ringers so you'll know who's on the line before you pick up the phone.
