I would buy this product again

I replaced a very good 3 year old Uniden corded/cordless phone with answering system with an even better one because I needed the three handsets included with the Uniden 2188-3 Dect 6.0 and the price at $99.00 at Staples was very good. I'll pass my old Uniden phone on to someone as it is still in perfect working order. My new phone is completely installed and working fine. I just need to find the time to enter phone numbers in my address book and assign special ring tones to my sons incoming calls - a really delightful feature. My son was able to figure out how to re-record on to an ipod my saved special messages so that I could keep them as mementos. The voice quality of the answering machine was that good. In some ways I'm tech savy, but compared to my sons, I'm very limited and it did take me some time to "program" my new phone. Fortunately the menus are actually easy to use and programming errors are easily correctable. I am a very pleased customer.

Most Liked Negative Review

Regretfully,I had to return 2 of them !

After having reviewed many different brands and checking all the personal reviews, I felt that the Uniden 2188-3 was the perfect solution. It had everything I wanted,including call blocking and at a great price.The cordless phones sounded great and worked fine. The corded base had all the features you could ask for! Regretfully,I had to return two of them! The problem I noticed was with the corded handset.When you spoke into it, the sound of your own voice was very distorted and too low in the handset(and I did adjust the appropriate volume & tone controls).Yes,you normally do get a certain amount of your own voice coming back to you,not so with this phone.The sound for the person on the other end of the line was fine, no problems.Without that person talking back to you,you'd think the phone was "dead".The other thing I felt was the Owners Manual wasn't written and organized very well(minor point). [...].After trying two of them, I decided to return them and will go with a different brand,as I feel it is just the way the phone was engineered & built. [...]I'll definitely be going back!

Comments about Uniden 2188-3 DECT 6.0 Corded/Cordless Telephone with Digital Answering System:

I bought this for my mother and father in-law. Their house has metal grids in the walls. Their old system used 2.4ghz and reception was terrible. The dect 6 set has full coverage in all areas of the house and you can actually walk from room to room and not lose the signal. Great stuff.

Comments about Uniden 2188-3 DECT 6.0 Corded/Cordless Telephone with Digital Answering System:

I shopped all of the phones that had a wired handset along with remote handsets. This one came out on top due to the quality of the system and the excellent price point for what you get. If you are looking for a desk phone to talk on all day long with fatigue that also offers wireless handsets for when you are away from your desk you can't do much better than this Uniden.
