| 249094 | 2004-07-01 23:13:00 | Just got the mailer from DSE and there are some DECT cordless phones on special, with a tradein offer on old phones. There are various Panasonic, Uniden, Siemens ones. Anyone had any bad experiences with any of these phones? Thanks | Andrew B (867) | ||
| 249095 | 2004-07-02 03:32:00 | Hi, I bought a Uniden XS215 from Tricky Dickie last week and it's mighty. Cheers Ron.. |

| 249096 | 2004-07-02 21:06:00 | Couldn't go past a uniden cordless phone... personally I'd pick that over any of the others - they've done me well over the years (my parents have a uniden cordless still going fairly well after 10 years). Mike. |

| 249098 | 2004-07-03 00:32:00 | > Stay away from the Uniden (unless you like distorted and 'orrible reception) I don't agree with that. Our Uniden (getting on for seven years old now, granted) was the clearest phone I could find at that time. The latest version of the model we have does not suit me as much but the rest of the family think it is good. I would not hesitate to purchase another Uniden and in fact am looking at their Dect models with a view to replacing our older one. |

Well sorry, but that is my experience - and not by just one Uniden either |

| 249100 | 2004-07-03 00:55:00 | I would avoid Uniden at all cost as well, based on several experiences. | godfather (25) | ||
| 249101 | 2004-07-03 03:20:00 | OK thanks for all your replies. I have also read other threads on cordless phones and jetstream connections that make the comment that the phone frequency can be a factor in how well the phone works. We have jetstream and currently have an old Uniden XC360 that uses 30.2 Mhz and 39.9 Mhz to receive and transmit on. The range and reception on it is not that good. I also read on other threads that replacing the house phone wiring with twisted pair cable might improve things. Would upgrading to a DECT (which is ??) 2.4 GHz phone be an improvement? Thanks. | Andrew B (867) | ||
| 249102 | 2004-07-03 03:25:00 | Different phones suit different users, really the only way to see what is good for you is try it. See if you can try out a few models on appro. If it's Dick Smith you have 14 days to try it. Personally I like Uniden. We have an older Uniden cordless answerphone model that is leaps and bounds ahead of a Sanyo we had, and a Panasonic before that, in terms of reception, tone (the Sanyo seemed 'buzzy' and the Panasonic 'metallic') and battery life. BUT that is to my ear. Your mileage will vary. J :D |

| 249103 | 2004-07-03 06:13:00 | I agree, using DSE to "try before you buy" has many advantages . Perhaps you need the insight gained from servicing cordless phones before you can make an "informed" comment on the quality . . . I stand by my comments . Remember that you do get what you pay for . |
