Uniden TRU8885-3 5.8 GHz Trio 1-Line Cordless Phone

We have had this phone for quite some time and we all love the features. I just ordered several more handsets to put all over the house. The reason for doing so is the features where you can use it to call other handsets which has saved us a lot of yelling from other rooms. Also, you can put it on hold, contact another handset and the other person can get the call. We have a four-level house so you can imagine how handy that feature is.

You can listen to messages as they are being left to determine whether you would like to pick up or not. It can be used as a monitor for another room. You can easily tell if there are messages as each handset blinks with a red light.

Up to ten handsets can be used with one system. When I recently got our 2 that I had just ordered (on eBay of course!) it was very easy to set them up to use with our current system. My boys love that you can "name" them so we have Panda, Wolf, Parents, Kitchen, etc. Makes it fun!

The only problem my husband and I have is reading the buttons. There are so many on the base unit and they are tiny on the handset. In our advanced old age our eyes aren't quite what they used to be and we have a hard time reading the buttons. And there are SO many features that it takes quite awhile to learn then all. The book is a challenge to get through!

Otherwise we are very happy with the unit. We have had many cordless phones in the past and this one is definitely the best.
