Didnt like it after adding it to the base phone, ended up buying a Panasonic phone.

These handsets are the accessory to the base unit. I really like this phone because you can customize the ring tone for each phone and for callers. You know whose calling just by hearing their ring. Also, we have a garage/workshop about 100 feet away from the house and we put a handset in there so I can use the intercom to call my husband without opening the door and yelling. If I answer the phone while he's in the garage and it's for him, I can transfer the call back to his phone. It also has a "room monitor" feature which acts like a baby monitor. You can hear your children playing in the other room on another handset. I believe you can add up to 10 handsets on this system. Very nice features. The only reason why I don't give it a 5 star review is sometimes the reception from the garage to the house is fuzzy.

An unremarkable handset at best. My focus here is on the batteries. I've got four handsets and every last one of them, the battery is useless after about six months. The handsets can only hold a charge for ten minutes of use tops.

I suppose this would have been a good buy had I realized that it is an addition to the base set. My bad. Had to return it.

I've had a had my Uniden TRU8866 for a few years but stopped using it since people complained about not being able to hear with a headphone. Decided to take the risk on these extension handsets to see if that would resolve the issue. These sound much better and I'm happy to be able to have only one handset for both lines in each room now. Message indicator works with Telco voice mail too. (Why is that such a hard feature to find these days?)
