Works great except if you want to use a long distance calling card with a phone number. It only store 24 digits. Per the phone rep. their model 2080 allows you to get to your phjone directory after sending the card numbers from the phone directory.

One feature, essential to me, has not been mentioned by other reviewers. Uniden seems to be the only phone manufacturer that provides an audible beep to alert the user to waiting messages. I seem to be incapable of noticing a blinking light or other visual message waiting alert, so I stick to Uniden. The only way a buyer can find out about this feature is to download and read the owner's manual at the Uniden site. It is not called out in the printing on the box or any other prominent place.
Terrific range! Short on features. October 9, 2007

I bought these phones (the base and 4 additional handsets) because we live in a large home and none of the other phone I have owned could offer good reception in all areas of our house. This phone has terrific range! I can even walk outside and down the sidewalk in front of our house without losing the call.
The Dect 6.0 technology sound is crisp and clear with no crackling or hissing whatsoever. There is no interference with my other phone-line or the wireless internet.
The phones have an intercom feature which we use quite often. The phonebook share feature is nice also, although how to transfer the phonebook to each handset is time consuming and not intuitive.
My main complaint with these phones is the lack of fetures. There is no headphone jack - although there is a speakerphone option. The ringtones are limited and there is no way to download additional ones. The ringer volume is very low so when there is music playing or the TV is on we often don't hear the phone ringing if it is not right next to us. There is no vibrate feature and you can't just pick up another handset to take a call that someone else has answered... it must be "transferred" to your handset by the answerer. Again.... not intuitive. The up-side to that is that you can be sure no one else in the house is listening in on your conversation!
I like the phones but wish more features were available such as a color display with downloadable picture and ringtone options. I also like the ability to record a "voice" ringtone. Our old phones (V-tech) offered this feature and it was very nice to be able to know who was calling without getting up to look at the phone.
I'd also like a headphone jack. There are times when I am working around the house and would like to talk on the phone but need my hands free. Speakerphone is ok... but I prefer the ability to move around without having to make sure I can be heard from across the room when shouting to a speakerphone.
This is a great bare-bones phone system with terrific range and clarity.
Good phone, not perfect. August 10, 2007

I have four of the Uniden DCX 100 handsets scattered around my house and overall I'm very pleased with them. Good range, sound quality, battery life and general durability (they have survived several drops without damage). The biggest complaint with these phones is that their menus and features are not intuitive. The most glaring problem, as others have noted, is that in the middle of a call, another person cannot just pick up another handset and press the Talk button to join the conversation. Instead you have to go through a clunky process of "transferring" the call to the other handset with a series of button presses. After several months of owning these phones, my wife still doesn't remember how to do it. I hope the dimwit at Uniden who engineered it that way has been appropriately flogged.

Please note that the DCX 1000 Accessory Handset is an ADD-ON to a Uniden multi-handset phone system and requires the purchase of a base unit to function. The text below refers to Uniden's new DECT6.0 systems.
With its DECT6.0 phone systems, Uniden has fixed some chronic flaws found in its previous phones, and left a few small flaws in.
THE GOOD:
* NO WIFI INTERFERENCE. This phone works well without interfering with today's (or tomorrow's) WiFi Networks
* SOUND QUALITY IS VERY GOOD, both receiving and transmitting. Uniden's microphones have been consistently horrible in the past, and I am delighted to see that they have fixed this.
* FORM FACTOR IS NICE. Not overly sleek and trendy, but not clunky at all. The most commonly used features are quick to access with only one or two button presses, with a few exceptions (see THE UGLY, below).
* GOOD RANGE. The lower frequency band of 1.9 GHz allows for a slightly greater range than the overhyped 5.8 GHz band. Works a little better through plaster walls.
* NAME YOUR HANDSET. Each handset is nameable ("Office", "Kitchen", etc.). This greatly simplifies paging and conference calling. (Despite previous statements, multi-handset calls ARE possible, but they must be initiated by the handset making the call - you can't just pick up the extension.)
THE BAD:
* NO HEADSET JACK OR BLUETOOTH. Cordless phones should have some kind of handsfree option besides a speakerphone setting, but this one doesn't. I have a dedicated cordless headset, so this was not an essential feature for me. The handset's speakerphone works okay.
* CALLER ID DOESN'T DISPLAY THE PHONEBOOK NAME. This is pretty basic these days, but Uniden still hasn't caught up. When people listed in my Phonebook call me from a cell phone, I want their NAME to display, not just WIRELESS CALLER. This is not a deal breaker, but certainly an annoying oversight.
THE UGLY:
* THE ALERT THAT WOULDN'T DIE. Despite being able to turn all the sound alerts off, the phone still makes a loud and irritating BLURRRP! when you drop it into the charging cradle. Better not drop it in the bedroom cradle while your spouse is sleeping.
* HOW DO I ...? To keep the phone sleek, some functions are a little more hidden than they should be. You will have to consult the manual to learn how to insert a pause into a phonebook number, muting requires three button presses (You CAN mute the handsets, despite previous comments), and some phone settings are only available in certain modes, not universally available through the Menu button. Examples: Sound Enhancer is only accessible WHILE you are making a call, and phonebook settings can only be made WHILE you are in the phonebook. There is a reason why another reviewer thought you couldn't have multi-handset conversations or couldn't mute the phone; you really do have to read the manual. If you don't read the manual you might think this phone has fewer features than it does. There are a limited number of REALLY HIDDEN technical features though, and dang, the phone does look good as a result.
ANSWERING MACHINE. I didn't buy a model with a built-in answering machine, so I can't speak to that feature. The manual does mention the ability to record a call in progress, though, which could be useful. (Consult your own state's laws regarding this.)
