Uniden DECT 1635

Out of range – When the phone rings, I pick it up off cradle and press talk. The message connecting" keeps blinking even after pressing talk. The next message presented is "out of range", then the message is "place handset on cradle". By that time you have missed the call and you hear the callers message being left on the machine. At least it was cheap from D.S. That's life!

Answering system – Pretty disappointed with this system, the answering system does not work,, phones work ok but does not pick up incoming calls, have checked everything went on line in January 2016 (to find out how to fix) I am still waiting for a reply now in April 2016 I received this as a gift so I don't have a receipt

Digital answering system – I can not find in the manual how to adjust the time that the message records. For example a customer has left a message on the Monday 7.30 a.m. but it is recorded as Saturday 10pm. The time on the phone handpiece is correct and I can find where to adjust that if necessary, just the digital answering system is faulty.

Absolute rubbish – This is the second one in 3 months and it is absolute rubbish. My callers complain that my voice is fading 'in and out' which was happening with the previous one that's why it was replaced! Have to take it back to JB Hifi AGAIN. Will definitely refuse to have it replaced with the same brand.

Second time around, same problem – We recently returned a Uniden DECT 1635 as it kept telling us we were "out of range", even when standing right next to the base. Also, we would pick up the phone to answer a call, press "talk" to answer, and the phone would just keep ringing. Very frustrating. Also had lots of static problems, callers complaining that they couldn't hear us if we… Read more

moved around the house. So, returned it, got a brand new one, and three days in we are experiencing the same old problems. I am just about to return this one again to Harvey Norman and get a totally different brand. I don't really fancy being taken for a fool three times.

Does what it says it should – It's a bit complicated to figure out but once you work through all the details, it is a perfectly okay phone

Screen too small – Bought this phone to replacement a Panasonic cordless phone that we had had for at least five years. Well, the Uniden 1635 is a pain. The handpiece is fine except for the fact that it is almost impossible to read the display due to its size, the shape of the letters and number as well as the brightness and contrast of the screen. The sound from the handpiece and the message bank is fine.
