- Power failure sensitive
I bought this product a few years ago. Aside from a problem with static the base unit and handsets work satisfactorily. The static could have had something to do with some other equipment located nearby. I do wish the handsets had a power saver mode (could be turned off). Overall I found the unit sufficient despite various flaws.

A few days ago an auto accident knocked out power to the area I live in. After a five minute complete outage the power came back at a low level (florescent lights worked but devices that needed more power didn't). The base unit was on a power conditioner (versus cheap surge protector) but when the power came back the base unit just rebooted itself continually and the handsets couldn't connect to it except for the split second it was running before it rebooted again. I looked on the Internet and found similar complaints (that after a electrical sag (brownout) the base unit would continually reboot). I can fool with it and get it into what appears to be a maintenance mode interface, but without some idea what commands to give it to reset I'm stuck. I emailed the Uniden tech support center and two days later they sent me an email saying it was broken and included a link to a page to buy a new base unit (uh... yeah right). There is also a similar Panasonic unit in the house and it had no such problems with the outage and in general works quite well. This is the second high priced ($150+) Uniden telephone product I have personally owned that has proven to be poorly designed in the end (always seems like software problems). This base station obviously needs a reset button. I plan to replace the TRU8885 with a Panasonic in the next couple days. My advice to anyone that has a (working) TRU8885 is that if you have a UPS for your computer try plugging it into that because the UPS shouldn't expose the devices plugged into it (the battery powered receptacles) to electrical sags, that will also keep it running during a power outage so your phone still works.

- not great
I added a 3rd handset to this system and it worked for a little while and then all of a sudden the handsets were dying even though they were on the charger. The light on the charger would only sometimes light up, and when it did it just died out shortly after and the phone lost all of it's charge.

- Do not buy
If you are looking for a phone that only works 1 of 10 times this is the phone for you. It will go into a mode of saying "Answering" and it is definitely isn't answering. You must unplug and disconnect the phone line from the jack to reset it. Also, when you try to make an outgoing call it says "Connecting" and maybe two minutes later you will get a dial tone. DO NOT BUY this phone, I plan to return it.......

- Like the extras but one drawback
The phone is great, very clear and the last phone with extra handsets we had; the handsets could not be used at the same time. You can use all of these and the speakerphone on the base if you wish.

The one con I found is that you need to enter long distance numbers with the 1-area code in phone book but caller ID on the phone doesn't identify them because they process the number without the 1.

Do I have something wrong-don't think so.

- Great phone system
I like Uniden phone system. We currently have the base and an additional 4 handsets which makes it quite convenient. We have caller id with call waiting, and when you're on the phone and another call comes in, it registers on all the handsets. That's a good thing. I also like the privacy feature on it, where if anyone picks up another handset while you're on the phone with the privacy feature activated, they won't hear the conversation. The only thing I don't like about the phone is the talk time,on the handsets, decreases substantially with frequent use. That's the reason I only gave it four stars instead of five.
