Uniden TCX905 5.8 GHz 1-Line Cordless Expansion Handset
Top Reviews
A Great Handset - Compatible With Many Uniden Systems
13 of 17 people found this review helpful.
The TCX905 Handset is the 'heart and soul' of Uniden's new TRU 9480 Series Cordless Phone Systems (see my Guide on those), and is also compatible as a replacement or add-on with most of Uniden's other 5.8 Gigahertz cordless systems.
The Handsets are full-featured. They are a long and trim design, comfortable for both the small-handed and large-handed. The backlit buttons and LCD display, along with some of the other features, will make anyone who has ever used a good cellphone feel right at home. When making a call, you can first punch the call button for a dial tone and dial the number, as you're used to with home phones, OR you can punch in the number first and hit the call button, like you're used to with cellphones. These will also support a Headset, via the cellular standard 2.5mm jack, if you prefer that. The Antenna is completely internal, in the earpiece end - no extendable piece to wear out or break off, and no stub to poke and snag everything it comes in contact with. There is a switchable 'T-Coil' support for Hearing Aid Compatibility - On if needed, of course, or Off to extend battery life if it isn't needed.
The handset supports Caller ID and Call Waiting Deluxe, storage of up to 100 Names with Two Numbers for each, Direct Link intercom among any pair of these handsets (which can also serve as a Room/Baby Monitor, while the other handsets continue handling calls), Speakerphone in each handset, 10 Speed Dial numbers, Redial (which remembers the last 3 numbers), Call Transfer, Conferencing, and Hold. There are 20 different Ringers to choose from (10 ring tones and 10 musical tunes), with Volume Adjustments for both ringers and earpiece. Battery Life is rated at 7 days on standby and 5 hours talk time - which I haven't personally put to the test yet, but it's certainly an improvement over previous cordless phones. Text Menus on these can be set to do their thing in English, Spanish, or French - per the North American NAFTA standard.
Also included with each Handset is a plastic snap-on Belt Clip - though personally I prefer just sliding the phone in a pocket. The placement of the belt clip, if you chose to use it, wraps around the antenna area of the handset, which would have some potential for reducing usable range.

Great Expanding Phone System!Perfect for people who love Hi-tech gadget features. Very versatile w/ lots of functional capabilities. And, it sounds great ... even bought a set for my parents.
Only beef is that the incoming Caller ID does not use the phone system's own digital book list (to match previously saved/named entries with incoming #).

I DIDN'T PURCHASE THIS ITEM!0 of 1 people found this review helpful.
THE ITEM WAS RETURNED TO SELLER AS IT WAS NOT WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR. THE SELLER AGREED TO TAKE THE ITEM BACK AND ISSUE ME A FULL CREDIT. THE SELLER WAS A VERY GOOD COMMUNICATOR AND DID APPLY MY CREDIT. I WOULD BUY FROM THEM AGAIN IF THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT I NEEDED. ONCE AGAIN, I DIDN'T BUY THIS ITEM IT WAS RETURNED FOR A FULL CREDIT.

Good Portable PhoneI purchased this expansion Phone because it matched my Uniden TRU8866 system. I was looking for another expansion unit and this was the only one I could find either in a store or on the internet. It matched up perfectly with the system and all phone numbers stored in the system were easily transferred to this unit. Range is excellent. It is easy to find the caller ID numbers and to pull up the numbers stored int he phonebook. Not surprisingly the operation is similar to a cellphone.
Only downside I have found is that the speaker is on the back of the phone so that when you want to use it hands free and you lie the phone on its back it is slightly hard to hear. I am not sure if this is not a broblem with all portable units.

No hassle to set up and useReview created: 06/18/08

This phone just requires setting the extension to the master station for a few seconds and it to registers to your system automatically. It can be one of up to 10 extensions. The phone has great battery life and never has any kind of interference or problems. Getting to the phonebook could be easier and the ringer isn't ofter loud enough. However, everything else is perfect and really easy to use.

For the money, this is the best 2 line phone on the market. The base unit has a few things that are not as user friendly as they could be. Programing of the units is very easy. Durability is very good. Range is good but not excelent.

Great handsets, could use more range1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
I use them with a Packet8 VOIP system and they work great! I wish they had more range, but that could also be a function of the base unit. The room monitor feature is really nice as it works better than a standard baby monitor.

My family loves this phone. My wife likes that she can page me and use this as an intercom.
She can extend her ball and chain:)
I used the uniden expandable set because of its high ratings on Consumer Reports. It is also very affordable and extra hand sets are widely available (we keep losing ours). It can expand to quite a few handsets (think it goes to 8). We keep 5 phones registered to it.

Easy addition to the TRU9485-2Review created: 05/10/08
by:
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
I purchased the Uniden TRU9485-2 a month ago and decided to try using its expandability feature. I purchased the TCX905 handset and followed the directions to set it in the home base. Within seconds it was added to the system as a third handset. It couldn't get much easier than that.

Uniden TCX905 expansion handset (using TRU9466 base)Review created: 05/01/08
by:
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
Sound quality is good, and features are easy to use. Registering a handset to the base is instant--just put the new handset in the base for a few seconds. The number keys feel solid and smooth; the jog-dial feels a little flimsy, but as long as it works and it holds up in use, I don't really care.
Several features are missing, however. First noticed was that the system doesn't get the time from the caller-id information--you have to set it. Why???? The handsets don't show if the line is in use--which may be because you can use handsets which aren't involved in the online conversation for other things simultaneously, but I still like knowing if the line is available for me to place a call. Only three redial numbers are saved, which probably ought to be enough but isn't. A VERY minor annoyance: the charge light on the charger units stays red; on my older phone, it turned green if the phone was fully charged.
Over all, good phone system.

Easy to useWell, all you have to do is cradle the handset into the main base and it programs itself. How simple can it be? It was that easy.

Excellent Uniden cordless phoneExcellent cordless phone and very easy to program and use. I really like being able to have a phone where I need it. And being able to add up to 10 handsets is definitely a plus.

TCX 905 Good Choice For Busy HomesReview created: 04/10/08
by:
We have a total of 5 of these handsets and 2 lines. The call quality and feature set are excellent as is battery life. The phones have a number of very handy features. You can turn ringers on or off per line per handset, so that both lines do not ring on every handset if you don't want them to. The speakerphone on the base is excellent.
My one and only complaint is that when using the intercom, the ringer rings on both ends. So, you cannot use it like you would a normal phone call where you dial and put it to your ear while it rings, it's far too loud for that. You have to watch the display and/or wait for the ringing to stop.

I love the fact that you can check messages from the phone and don't have to go to the base. I also love the room monitor feature as well as the fact that you can talk from phone to phone (intercom) and still receive incoming calls. This is a great phone!!

By the time I take it from the inside of my house to outside of my house on my patio, it is very staticy. If I step off of my patio, it goes completely out. That is only 50 steps - and I wear a size 8 women's shoe!

Uniden TCX905 5.8 GHzI bought the additional headset because one of my original ones broke. The phone is great and with the base station I have I can have up to 10 phones. Right now I have 5 phones and they are all clear and function perfectly. The system is EXTREMELY user friendly.

Uniden Cordless Expansion HandsetJust love these phone, I like the size of them, easy to hold, headset adaptable
We had 3 of these phones and needed more for the rest of the house. We now have 7 even in our bathrooms, plan on getting at least 3 more. We purchased these because you could expand them up to 10 units and know we don't have to run for the phone, one is always nearby. Would recommend highly.
