Uniden CEZA1998 5.8 GWZ Phone System
Phones did everything ads said they would
Sound was loud enough and clear for hard of hearing
Answer machine was nice.
My wife's only problem was the buttons on the phone
were confusing. But my daughter was going to buy us
a similiar phone that cost 4 times more than the Uniden
and the Unider came out working better than the other phone.

Lousy audio performance
I've had this phone for a month so it's quirks are well defined. I am surprised at the poor quality of both the receiver and the CID announce. I mostly use the main unit and rate the quality of the sound coming from the earpiece at 4- on a scale of ten. I would not have purchased the phone if I had experienced the receiver's tinny sound. This is particularly irksome given the phone's senior friendly advertisement.
The computer generated voice for the caller ID announce is like something from a 70's B grade sci-fi movie. It's so bad that it's kind of comical, and often undescipherable. The keypad and all other functions are nice, well designed and comfortably arranged. If I had purchased this for my parents, I'd return it due to ... Read More
Good idea, not such a good product
3 days after the warranty ran out, the phone started acting up. This was purchased for my 88-year old mother who is losing her sight, but otherwise very active and very healthy. We feel like we have wasted the money. The volume is iffy (both on her end and on mine)...we have replaced batteries, but it has not helped. The ring tones available are not suitable for anyone with much hearing loss. We will replace this phone with a much more expensive one.
Nice for low vision needs
I bought the phone for my mother who is 90 and has macular degeneration. The numbers are big and resonably simple to use. I especially like that it announces who is calling. I wish it had more "one button" speed dialing options available but the emergency 911 button is wonderful. Overall, a very good phone.
So far so good
Bought this phone system for my parents. Mother can't hear well and the extra volume on the cordless works great for her. Not real impressed with the clarity and volume level of the base phone but the voice caller ID on the base phone works awesome, pronounces the names perfect and is really a big help. Amazon had the best deal for this system and free quick shipping.
