Uniden DECT 1635 + 1

Crackling sound – Phone looked good for the price. Had it one month and developed a crackling noise on loud speaker, message record & playback and handset. Annoying when you cannot playback customers messages.  Show details

Don't buy it – Bad from the word go. People on the other end cannot hear me and it keeps dropping in and out. Totally useless if it's an emergency. Just rang customer service and their own system is down! Person on the other end was very unhelpful. Save your money. This is very disappointing from uniden.  Show details

works great – nice and clear, trouble free, great price. bought yesterday, charged overnight, started using and was fine from the first call.

Seems OK So Far, Easy to use Phone Book. No Good for NBN – Basic 1 + 1 cordless phone system purchased for a reasonable price at Big W. This product was purchased on availability, price and the generally good reputation of Uniden products and devices, as well as the need for a replacement unit in a hurry. Our original cordless phone, a Panasonic was excellent but when one key pad wore out it was replaced… Read more

by a Telstra branded unit from JB Hi Fi, which had a lot of problems and became unusable.

The best comment about this new cordless phone is that it is very satisfactory. The sound quality speaker or earpiece is OK but only just. The ring tone is good. It appears to be generally well made and works as intended.

Like most of these devices the programming and set-up can be a little bit tricky, the instruction book is very basic.

I also had to get a special adaptor to get it to plug into our existing (old style) Telstra socket.

EDIT. Come November 2018 this device became unusable. We attempted to replace it with a standard Telsra Telephone, it too was unusable. Voice was breaking up in either direction and NBN modem dropping out. In desperation (A family bereavement had just occurred) I asked my daughter to go to the nearest retailer, this happened to be JB Hi Fi and just buy another phone. The sales assistant at JB suggested that this was happening because we are now on NBN (yes) and it was necessary to get an NBN Compliant Phone. Problem is now solved. This was yet another NBN issue that customers have not been told about.

Totaly Unreliable – Was ok for first 12 months. In recent months, one handset continually just drops out several times during calls so we just don't use it anymore; the other handset has intermittent crackle which interrupts conversations; sometimes the phone keeps ringing even though you have lifted and answered the handset. New phone coming up and it won't be a Uniden

Poor support, too flimsy, no troubleshooter – Seemed great for a couple of months, but then stopped working (would not dial a number from either handset even though the dial tone was present, and dropped incoming calls) So, go to the Uniden website, no customer support, no forum, no FAQ's. Did not keep the receipt (stuff up between me and my wife) so $150 down the drain. Not impressed!!!!

Works well, good price – I bought this to replace my older Uniden cordless phone as I wanted one with a speakerphone in the handset. (Special note to Optus: Your 30 minute+ waiting times is the reason) Works really well, very clear, answering machine is easy to use and configure. Has a handset to handset intercom, if you have more than one you can select which one to… Read more

page or just page all.

I was surprised that the power supply was exactly the same as my older phone, but still its a great design and takes minimal space in a powerboard or wall socket.

Has a great feature where it can use power from the handset battery to make a call in case of a power failure. I haven't used it yet, but it fixes the biggest flaw in cordless phones where you can't make a call without power.

Stored numbers are easy to input and only needs to be done on one handset. The phone book is shared in the system.

It was a bargain when I got it, just $54. Recommended.

Good phone, good price – Bought this for $64.95 in Dec 2013 but now the 6V power adapter for the base station has stopped working. I bought another on ebay for $20 but if it was the more common 9V one it would have only been $15. The phone itself has been great though
