If you're outfitting a new office or home office or you just need to replace a phone that won't hold a charge anymore, take a look at what providers of Uniden cordless phones can offer you. You'll find Uniden cordless phones in the 900MHz, 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz frequency ranges and the newer Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) 6.0 phones that operate interference free on the 1.9GHz frequency band.
Uniden has produced reliable cordless phones since the 1980s. It has consistently kept up with the latest technology and given consumers exactly what they asked for. As you gather information from Uniden cordless phone providers, consider the following:
1. Generally, Uniden 5.8GHz phones will provide better quality and less interference than Uniden 2.4GHz cordless phones or Uniden 900MHz cordless phones, but frequency range doesn't predict operating range of the phones from their base units.
2. If you count security as an important feature in a Uniden cordless telephone, look for phones with Digital Spread Spectrum (DSS) technology, which makes eavesdropping on conversations with these phones very difficult.
3. Check for compatibility with the answering machine, headphones and any other equipment you own and will use in conjunction with the phone.
Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Pick a phone system that provides as many Uniden handsets as you need
If you have 10 or fewer employees or work from a home office and want one phone system to meet all your home and work needs, talk to Uniden cordless phone providers about a system with multiple handsets; you'll end up with one primary base unit and the ability to include as many as 10 handsets, each with its own charger base.
I recommend: Check with providers of Uniden cordless telephones like the
Factory Outlet Store or
Hello Direct about the 5.8 GHz Uniden TRU9466 with two lines, speaker phone, up to five-way conferencing, personalized ringers, intercom, mute function and expandable up to 10 handsets. You should also compare prices at
NexTag for the 1.9GHz Uniden DECT-2080; it contains features similar to the TRU9466, but the DECT-2080 battery boasts a 30% longer life.
Consider a Uniden cordless business phone if have more than 10 employees
A key system unit (KSU) requires professional installation and maintenance but works well for businesses with fewer than 40 employees. One benefit to key systems over cordless home phone systems is that key systems prevent someone from accidentally interrupting a call when you're already on the line, talking to a client or associate. Key systems also allow you to call fellow employees within your building on in-house extensions.
I recommend: Talk with providers of Uniden cordless telephones like
Etronics about the Uniden ANA9710 that work with any key system.

When you shop Uniden cordless phone distributors, make sure the phones you consider carry all the features and capabilities you need to conduct business--on hold, music while on hold, message system to route callers to a particular department or person, caller ID, speaker phones and teleconferencing.
I recommend: Visit
Electronics Outfitters and take a look at the 2-line ANA9320, Uniden's smallest cordless business phone; it works with any key system, includes transfer, conference, hold and auto answer functions and comes with a headset jack and belt clip.
