Uniden DXI-3286-2 2.4 GHz Analog Cordless Phone with Dual Handsets and Caller ID

Uniden's DXI-3286-2 is a two handset analog cordless phone system that comes with some very useful features and a reasonable price tag. By utilizing the 2.4 GHz analog frequency and 20 channels of auto-scan, the DXI-3286-2 offers clear, intelligible reception even at a distance. Wall-mountable to help free up desktop clutter, the DXI-3286-2 is also headset compatible (a belt clip is provided) for hands-free operation. An autotalk setting lets users answer the phone simply by picking it up off the base, while 20 speed-dial presets (on each phone) provide easy access to the most frequently called numbers. Chain dialing allows users to store a set of up to 20 numbers in each speed-dial preset that might needed after the phone connects--useful for calling cards, automated services, and so on.

Caller ID and call waiting compatible, up to 30 caller ID numbers are stored in the internal memory, each with a time/date stamp. The Ni-CD battery provides up to seven hours of talk time and up to 14 days of standby. The handset-to-handset transfer feature allows users to forward calls to the other phone. A voicemail waiting indicator lets you know when you have received new calls (subscription to a fee-based service is required), and the page button on the base makes finding a lost handset quick and painless. The DXI-3286-2 also comes backed with a one-year parts and labor warranty.
Customer Review: Excellent Phones!
Here's a great deal for under fifty bucks. These phones feel great on your ear, and sound exactly like corded phones. Their small size lets them fit in nicely anywhere and the base unit mounts easily to the wall. There's a volume control that lets you turn the things up to 11, really loud if you want it. Not sure why the other reviewer on this list mentioned static -- I didn't notice that at all, and we have lots of wireless devices around here including another cordless phone and two WiFi computers. There are good reasons why Consumer Reports rated this two-phone set highly, and recommended it. It's a super value for the money. We're buying another set today, instead of getting one of those 5.8 gigahertz models that doesn't even sound as good as this. We had a choice of getting one of those 5.8 GHz phones with three extra handsets for nearly $400, or two of these dual-phone sets for under $100. Easy choice for us. Great value, free shipping, too.
Customer Review: Do you like static?
Well....... that's what you will get with this phone system. It's WAY too noisy!
