Amazon.com Product Description
The CXAI5198 from Uniden is a combination corded/cordless phone system that comes loaded with features. The cordless handset comes with its own charging cradle and utilizes the 5.8 GHz frequency to deliver greater range and clearer reception than many traditional 900 MHz or 2.4 GHz phones.

With the page button, you can easily find the misplaced handset, while headset compatibility gives you the option of hands-free communication. You can access features via an LCD screen found on the cordless handset and corded base unit, and you can choose between one of three menu languages (English, Spanish, or French). The CXAI5198 is compatible with caller ID and call waiting services, and has a 50-number caller ID memory. A 10-number speed dial is also provided for frequently called numbers. Display-and-dial lets you call any number from the caller ID or speed dial display simply by pressing the talk button.

The corded base unit functions as a complete message center, with a built-in digital answering machine and hands-free speakerphone. The answering machine has a 13-minute maximum recording time and a selectable 1 or 4-minute maximum message length. Features such as call screening, memo recording, and call recording are provided; and you can access your messages while away from home with remote message check.

With the intercom function, you can communicate from the base unit to the cordless handset, while three-way conference calling lets both locations talk to an outside call at the same time. You can place a call on hold or temporarily mute your side of the conversation. The base unit is wall-mountable, providing you with extra placement options, and both tone and pulse dialing modes are available depending upon your needs. Uniden also provides a one-year limited warranty.

3 out of 5 stars No so good but great service   May 19, 2008
L. A. Weber (Pittsburgh, PA USA)
After only a few months the remote handset quit working. The company sent out a replacement in a short time and we did not even have to return the broken unit. The replacement is working fine although the handset volume is a bit low.


3 out of 5 stars Decent features, mediocre performance   April 28, 2008
Ruth in NM
Bought this phone a couple of years ago. Mostly the features are good, but it's not an outstanding phone. The corded handset volume adjustment doesn't go low enough while dialing. It sometimes gets a loud burst of static when first answering on the cordless handset, which obliterates the first part of the conversation. Total message duration limit of 13 minutes is short. Two-ring pickup happens awfully quick. The belt clip on the cordless handset is useless, and both handsets are difficult to hold on the shoulder e.g. if you need to write a note. Speed-dial memory of 10 is pretty minimal.



4 out of 5 stars Good office phone   March 14, 2008
Eric (Roseville, CA)
Can't speak to the cordless handset - don't use it. But as for the base. Sound quality is good, messages are clear, easy to use. Only minor complaint is that the mic for the speakerphone is not very good. People on the other end often complain they can't hear me. Other than that, phone is great. I'm currently using 2 of them in my home office and no problems with either in almost 2 years.


1 out of 5 stars Answering machine don't work voIP   January 19, 2008

5 out of 5 stars Just what I needed at a great price!   January 2, 2008
Suzette (Southern California, USA)
I am very impressed with the functions and price of this phone. It has speakerphone, callerid, an answering machine, and can store numbers. The only thing I can find wrong with it is that there is not a battery meter on the cordless handset, but that is just a small inconvenience. The phone sits very securely and tight in the cradle on the corded uncorded units. This was a concern I had, as I hated leaving phones accidentally off the hook or not sitting properly to recharge the battery. Very economical and useful!
