Amazon.com Product Description:
Using the newly ratified DECT 6.0 frequency band, the Uniden 1080-3 expandable cordless phone system provides the clearest voice reception currently on the market and can easily be used with wireless home networks (WLAN) without negative impact. The phone system comes with three handsets and a main base and two peripheral charging bases. The main phone base comes with a built-in 15-minute digital answering machine to easily capture messages when you're not around. For added convenience, the system can be expanded to include up to six handsets, making this system ideal for large families and medium-sized offices. Other great features include caller ID and call waiting compatibility (carrier dependent), and an intercom feature so you can talk between handsets. Each handset features a 100-entry phonebook directory and trilingual menu prompts (English, French, or Spanish). Each handset boasts talk times of up to 17 hours and a standby time of up to 168 hours.

Finally a clear phone that holds a charge:
I have had two problems with my phones over the years. First I have DSL and was getting interferance and second it seems every phone system I get lasts about a year and the batteries start failing. I did a ton of research before replacing my last phone and settled on the Uniden. The handsets have extremely long battery life and range and with DECT 6.0 I get crystal clear reception with no interferance. I gave it 5 stars just for that, but there are a couple things that keep it from being perfect. The biggest thing I've found is when I'm on the phone and want someone else to pickup another handset and join the conversation there doesn't seem to be a way to do that. It just tells you the phone line is in use and you're locked out. The other is minor, but I haven't been able to clear the "new calls" display...I'm sure there is a way, but I haven't been able to find it in the manual. Bottom line is the new DECT 6.0 is great and provide awesome clarity and the battery life of 17 hours is accurate.

1080=Bad Model:
Purchased mine at BJ'S club for $89.00. Cons: *Lack of conference ability using 2 or more handsets at the same time, unless you transfer the call to it. *Keypad does not light up. *Use army time Time, 24 hr not 12 hr clock and the date is dd/mm/yy. *Answering machine OGM has an English accent.

Uniden DECT1080-3:
Uniden DECT1080-3 DECT 6.0 Cordless Digital Answering System with Caller ID with 2 Extra Handset DECT 6.0 Cordless The phone works great. It's loud and clear. I ordered 2 extra headsets for a total of 5. You can name the handsets by their location and make intercom calls to the different headsets. You can enter your phone numbers into one headset and transfer them to the other headsets. Note: Time is a 24 hr clock and the date is dd/mm/yy so today is 21/12/07. The headsets only hold 24 digits per entry. So you can not store both a calling card number with the phone number. You can store the calling card number as and entry and then dial the number you want. Per tech support the DECT-2080 solves this problem. 10-10-987 numbers work fine.

clear signal:
This phone doesn't have everything, except it does have the clearest signal of any I've used before.

Good phone:
I think this phone is ok. It has the answering machine but we don't use it. My only problem with the phone is that the numbers wear off. It was a good price and to have 3 phones and 2 don't need a phone jack..awesome.
