I have used mostly Panasonic telephone systems in the past. This is my first Uniden product. I have used this telephone system for over 2 months. I have not had ANY drop-outs or "Out-Of-Range" errors that others have reported. I would assume that there may have been an early production line issue. I would be curious to see how others would have rated the phone if that issue were taken out of the equation. I have categorized my review features into Good, Bad and Ugly.
The GOOD:
-Terrific sound quality
-Stylish design
-Lightweight handsets
-Speakerphone feature on each handset
-Ability to add 3 extra handsets (6 total) simply by dropping them in the base for 5-10 seconds.
-Ability to customize the name of each handset for intercom ease-of-use
-Ability to page all handsets via intercom at once or one at a time
-Multiple ringers
-Organized menu interface and button icons
-Message indicator light on each handset
-Ability to check your messages from any handset
-Ability to send your address

I have owned many phones from many different companies and in almost any model you can imagine. I have to say that this one is of the best. The design is sleek and very light weight, the colors are vibrant, the features are many and the sound quality is superb on both speaker and regular talk function. You can access the answering machine through the handset without going to the base. You can check messages of course while you are away from home. You can assign names to the telephone for each room. There is a privacy mode feature that prevents others from listening in or disrupting a call while in use. You can change the wallpaper and color scheme much like a cellular phone and the time on the phone is very large so you do not need to squint or reach for reading glasses to see it. You can use the pre-recorded function for the answering machine, record your own message or even set it to announce only. You can dial into your voice mail with a touch of a button if you have it and there is

I have had this phone system for only 3 days. It's absolutely fabulous in all aspects except one: The caller ID does NOT display numbers as you have programmed them into your phone book. This becomes an issue for me when dealing with cell phone numbers. The caller ID registers "Cellular Call" instead of "Bob's Cell" as I have it in my phone book.
According to a Uniden support rep, none of their phones have that capability. My old Sony phone, which is 10 years old, does that! This is so important to me that I am going to return this phone system.
I did not have any out of range, wi-fi or clarity issues. The phones are feature-packed, and I love the fact that you can name each phone. The design is pretty slick, too.

I ordered my combo set from Sam's Club online and got them for much cheaper than the lowest price on Amazon.com. I charged them fully and began using them. I had researched and checked reviews online regarding the phone's performance and was well aware of many complaints about "out of range" and "dropped calls". I liked the phones so much that I decided to give them a try, hoping to have the same experience as some of the 5-star reviews that I have seen about them. Well, I had the same "out of range" and "dropped calls" problem. I phoned customer service and the rep. told me to de-register the phones and then re-register them again. I did just that but still experienced the same problem. The next day I phoned customer service again, telling a different rep. about my problem and about the suggested solution from a different rep. She immediately connected me to a supervisor who advised me to keep the phones until they ship me a new combo set along with a return ship label for the ones that

After a lot of research we bought this phone for our new house. Unfortunately, it does not work. The phone cuts out when we are standing next to the base station and it even cut out when my wife was talking to customer service. The box was destroyed when removing the phone so we have no way to send it back to Amazon. Next time we will buy a phone from a local retailer so at least it can be returned. Do not buy this phone!

I purchased this phone with one additional handset. It's G R E A T !!!
The phones have great range, voice quality, battery life and are easy to setup. I would definety buy another one. Thank you to other buyers who have posted their detalied comments. It made my purchase decision much easier and helped insure buying a quality product and not a peice of junk.

I have had this phone for one month. It sounds like to me either you get a good one or a bad one. I am one of the unfortunate ones. My phones are constantly going "out of range mode" that cuts you off and even after doing what it says to get my call back, I usually can't. I also sometimes hear myself echoing back what I am saying and people can't hear me very well when I am on speaker (which is what I live on). It is a good looking phone and I have had a Uniden previously that I loved until the day I lost it. Just based on my experience, this one has got to go.

I repeat, "do not buy this phone!" I should've known from the moment I tried to open the box, that something was up. I had to obliterate the box just to get the phones out. I wrestled with that package and almost sliced my fingers twice. The reason they package it that way is so you don't have anything to return the phones in when you realize that you hate them. The reason I hate them is that every single time I have a conversation with someone, it cuts off and says that "handset is too far from base". Even if I am standing next to it! It puts your call on hold for like 10 seconds. I can't figure out the reason. And it happens with whatever handset you are holding. The other day we were on an overseas phone call and we had to call back 3 times because we were cut off by this phone.

Decided to replace an old 2 set Uniden system I had with this. Have had this for over a month and so far am very happy with the unit.
I think someone got it wrong, the 3080 system is expandable, I bought the 3 set system advertised here, and ordered the extra handset dcx300 through beech audio - adding the 4th handset was a cinch, just put it on my base station and register. http://www.amazon.com/Uniden-DCX300-Accessory-Charging-DECT2000/dp/B0012ZBNGC
These phones have some awesome features.
intercom for the house - I have the 4 phones with 2 assigned to the kids - I can page them just about anywhere in the house.
the unit has a privacy option - lock out listening ears or share a call - both good
the customized ringtones and wallpapers give each set a unique touch
and the kids have their own banner name - we have fun changing these - to Daddy sux ... Queen bee, lil Princess etc
the ability to get the messages on any phone is a huge plus - also you can do the answering setup from any

Single worst Uniden phone system I've owned. The handsets constant drop "Out of Range". It even did so when the handset was literally 3 inches from the base unit. I wish I had purchased somewhere I could easily return them...that will teach me to not wait for them to appear on Amazon.

This is the 6.0 phone to get. Have not had one problem yet. Looks great. Nice, easy to read screen. Voice quality is loud and clear, including using the headphone jack.
Can pickup messages from any handset. Multiple ringers, screens. Keypad lights up in a nice blue color. Intercom between handsets, call transfer to another handset. 3 way conference calling between incoming call and two handsets. Speaker phone is loud and clear and can use it to check messages.
This is one great phone. I have been using it with Vonage VOIP and it works great and looks great. Works much like a cell phone does where you can enter phone number and then hit the call button, or you can turn on phone and enter phone number.
Very comfortable, ergonomic, intuitive and simple to use. 11 hour talk time too!
Just get it, you wont regret it. Cant think of one thing I wish it did.

I could not be happier with these Uniden phones -- Volume is loud. Features are excellent, and the speakerphone is very usable (and loud)
The link quality is excellent, and call quality is similarly good. I compare each of these qualities to the phones we just threw out (our first DECT purchase from GE). Comparatively speaking these phones are absolutely wonderful, clear, loud, and functional. I even like the style.
I can recommend these to anyone looking for a good, clear, cordless phone system.

I have owned GE, Uniden, Panasonic, AT&T, Vtech and a number of other models from the outdated 49Mhz to the 5.8GHz range and now DECT 6.0. I had a set of Uniden TRU8860 5.8GHz which were some of the best I had owned, except they did have range drops and often failed around my Wi-Fi office technology. I thought the review on the Panasonic KX-TG9334T set was persuasive enough to give them a try. I concluded I have a newer Panasonic KY-FPG391 5.8GHz that has performed well and there would be little risk. However, after setup, I knew I had made a poor choice. If you have never owned recent Uniden technology, I suppose Panasonics would be pie in the sky perfect as some reviews have indicated. However, for me as an aficionado of phone technology, I was left sorely frustrated.
I packed the Panasonics back in the box after noting a long list of problems found under that product and returned to Amazon. I proceeded to purchase the back-ordered Uniden 3080-3 DECT 6.0 which from what I read is an

I just started using the phone today. It's light and attractive with good sound quality. The menu and keypad are easy to use. The answering machine shows how many messages are waiting, unlike the Panasonic that I have in my office. The wallpaper and color choices are nice features. However - there is no speed dial! I couldn't believe it and searched the manual and all menu options to no avail. I called Uniden and after sitting on hold for 20 minutes, they confirmed that there is no speed dial. That may be a deal breaker for me, as I dial almost exclusively using speed dial, as does my 7-year old. I know this will annoy me every time I call someone. With all the bells and whistles that they did include, I can't believe they overlooked this basic function.

I have purchased DECT3080-3 thinking it is the top of the line phone Uniden offers. My previous model is Uniden DCT648-3 which I used for 2yrs w/o an issue.
Just using the new phone DECT3080-3 for 15mins today, I have already found couple major Problems:
1) LCD on handset do not lit up when there is a incoming call when the handset is on charging base - MAJOR ISSUE!
2) The call speaker & earpiece volume is pretty low compared to my existing DCT648-3 - - MAJOR ISSUE!
3) I get static (or buzzing) noise before even I dial the call. This is in both ear-piece and speaker on handset -- This doesnot exist on my current DCT648-3, which is super quiet.
4) Last night got message "Too far from base unit" .. I was talking for 45mins upstairs and recieved the above msg. Base unit was downstairs in Kitchen.. I never ever had this problem since 6yrs w/900Mhz phones.
Did I actually degrade my existing phone by buying this new one???? To be honest, I do not see any major changes/improvements from

We bought this phone a week ago. My mother has owned the phone for maybe a week longer. The sound echoes and Sounds quality is bad periodically. The major problem is even when standing next to the base it will disconnect you and say you are too far from the base. It puts your call on hold from time to time without touching any buttons and we are returning it today.
