"Keypad stoped working within 6 months," on August 23, 2011 by NimaS28

Pros: Good sound quality, easy storage of numbers, intercom feature, contact list can be sent to all phones, reasonable battery life, speaker phone, message indicator on the hanset and hear messages from the handset.

Cons: Does not have a good range, keypad buttons to access the contact list and menu stopsworking within a year. No rocket dial or speed dial feature.

Summary: I have had this phone for two years inspite of the keypad button that accesses menu, controls volume, accesses the contact list etc. stopped working on the handsets within a year. This is a big disppointment to me though the other features are good like you can acces your messages from the handset, and also set different ringtones on the handsets. You can turn off the ringtone at night and it would indicate a call by lighing the screen, which I thought was nice feature. The sound quality is good. The intercom feature, I thought was nice, but it always rings all the phones even though you call only a particular handset. This is sometimes annoying when you are looking for a particular handset and the other handsets start ringing. (The intercom feature is used as the find handset also). There is not rocket dial (or speed dial ) which was a disappointment to me since it wis there in some of the earlier models of uniden.
