Amazon.com Review

If you're looking for a telephone that does it all for a reasonable price, the AT&T 9370 is tough to top. The 900 MHz cordless device combines a digital answering machine and speakerphone in the base, and has a LCD screen on the handset that displays numbers and caller ID information. It takes a little time to program the handset and learn the handset's many features, but the reward is having a telephone that puts all the features anyone would need in the palm of your hand.

Using a few simple menu buttons on the handset, it's possible to recall a number from the unit's memory, redial a previous number, put callers on hold, and access other features. A dedicated answering-machine button let us retrieve our messages straight from the handset, and there was even a jack on the side where a headset can be attached for hands-free operation. Sound quality isn't stellar, but it's comparable to that of similarly-priced 900 MHz phones, and the handset is light, has a short antenna, and is comfortable during use.

The base unit can be mounted either vertically or horizontally and has a complete numeric keypad to use with the speakerphone. The digital answering machine can be split into two separate mailboxes for use as a basic messaging center. We really liked the talking caller-ID feature that let us record names and assign them to certain numbers, making it possible to know if someone important was calling without having to fumble for the handset. It's also is possible to record different answering-machine greetings and assign them to callers, making this unit a sensible choice for home office users who can keep their business calls separate from personal calls.

The fact that the base unit has no LCD for caller-ID information was about the only fault we could find with this phone. It's a terrific deal for anyone in the market for a telephone and answering machine unit who doesn't need the digital security features that digital 900 MHz handsets provide. --T. Byrl Baker

Pros:

Great design
2 answering-machine mailboxes

Cons:

No digital security
Takes some time to set up and learn

Great phone with lots of features.......2007-06-13

I really like this phone and actually have two of them. It has some great features and does almost anything you would want a phone to do. They had an earlier model that had a handset that was a bit more comfortable, but so far I have no complaints about this phone.

Worthless piece of junk.......2005-01-10

Had this phone sent to my parents for Christmas. It has never worked right and am getting no satisfaction from trying to contact seller.

Not recommended.......2004-01-18

I've had this phone for about 2 years and I already need a replacement. The reception is to the point where no one can hear me when I speak. I'm constantly being asked "What's wrong with your phone"? If you're going to shell out a decent amount of money for a phone, then it should have a longer shelf life than 2 years. I'm relunctant to ever by a AT & T phone again. Think twice before buying this!!

These reviews are hilarious!.......2004-01-09

I have owned this phone for about 14 months. I have had static, inability to leave the immediate vicinity of the base unit, etc. Recently, the battery life has shortened so much that the phone is useless for more than 5 minutes. So, after running to grab my other phone on a conversation tonight, I thought I'd go on line and order a replacement battery. But after laughing to the point of crying over some of these reviews (love those people who are slamming their phones to get them to work) I think I will just get a new phone, before my answering machine starts blurting at me in the middle of the night!

Worst & Most Junk Phone.......2003-11-30

I had this phone from last 1year almost. Poor voice quality & sometimes it refuses to connect to the base. It works only up to 20 meters from base & drops the call. Speaker phone is good and I get the nice quality in voice. I think the problem is only with the 900MHz Air interface. We are getting problem with the battery. Battery is getting last for only 5 minutes & doesn't get charge at all. Memory storage and Base access user interface is not that user friendly.

pretty junky.......2007-06-08

this thing probably isn't worth it, even for this small price. sound quality is middlish, the caller ID screen went out within a year, it's IMPOSSIBLE to figure out what all the buttons do -- I mean AT&T, c'mon, put a little effort in DESIGN! really, simple things like setting the time and changing your outgoing message are really hard. luckily amazon has a link to the product manual, or I would have thrown it away a long time ago.

Plenty of great features but.........2004-10-22

I've had this phone a little over a year, and now the LCD is starting to miss some of the numbers/letters. If I want to write a number from someone, forget it, its illegible. The amount of room on the voice list is great, the audio on the outgoing voicemail message is a little fussy. However, the incoming messages are very clear. I found that it losses time, so the clock on the phonebase has to be reset constantly which is an annoyance. I think I will try Panasonic or Sony on my next go round.

Speakerphone died after about a year.......2004-10-12

It sounded garbled and staticky when using the speakerphone and the caller id lcd screen broke. It is unreadable as well. Didn't last long.

Bad quality on answering machine messages.......2004-07-26

I bought this phone to replace my six year old Panasonic digital machine/phone combo that had begun to act flaky. I hoped that I would also get better sound quality with messages since computer memory and processing power have gotten much cheaper since 1998. Unfortunately the messages on this machine are worse than my old Panasonic, which weren't great to begin with. I also was annoyed by the feature that plays back the date, time, number of messages, etc. before it will play your messages: my old phone does this but the AT&T speaks v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y so you have to wait until it finishes its spiel before you can hear your messages (even if it's an old message). The sound quality of phone calls themselves are fine. I didn't try any other features because the message quality was poor enough that I'm returning it. Fortunately Amazon makes that easy and painless -- go Amazon!

Great design, but easily broken.......2003-12-03

I loved this phone. I loved it so much I've purchaced 2 of them. Now I'll admit, I'm rough on phones, but both managed to become unusable within one year of purchace. That is really my only gripe.

Now the good stuff. The design is good. I like the phone, the number of mailboxes, the answering system was great. The caller ID was a tad slow, but not any more than my other caller ids. Overall it was a good phone, but not meant for long term hard heavy usage.

Worked in the office that made the answering machine chip.......2003-06-25

OK, so this is true about the 9800. This model looks similar, but you would have to take it apart to see if there is also a Lucent DSP in the answering machine part of the 9980. I agree that our speech coder quality is sub par. I have owned a few Uniden phones that used our DSP, and I do not like the quality of the recording - you have to play it several times for some calls, and sometimes you still can't make everything out. I don't know if other companies made a better answering machine DSP, but I would rather use an old tape machine. The 900MHz part works very well - I have had no problem. I HAVE had the same experience as others here - this handset design has a Talk button that is very easy to hit with your ear while talking - others in my family were so frustrated with this feature that they stopped using the phone. Since I had a small part in the history of the phone, I continue to use it. The division I worked for disbanded a few years ago, so no more or our answering machine DSPs will be produced (thankfully).

uniden cordless phone enthusiast from B'ham AL........2002-07-26

I own four uniden cordless phones, three of them are 900 mhz. and one is a 2.4 model. You can hardly own a better phone. I never hear any interference, I never have one problem with clarity in either the answering machine or the handset, it never drops calls, or loses volume during use. And I mean any of them. I have the EXS 9800, the EXT. 1965, the EXS 9980, and the TRU 2.4. As it is with all cordless phones you do have to push "talk" to use it, if it is off the base, but in answering it when it rings it does have an "auto-talk" feature which allows you to merely pick it up and begin talking and all of that is clearly explained in the manual, as are all the phone's other features. Not liking to push "talk" before using it is like not liking to start your car before driving it. Come on, we have to put some effort into it. I can recommend using the headset with it, it is a great feature that eliminates neck strain tremendously. I use all of these phones in my business and I spend anywhere from 4 to 6 hrs. a day on the phone. One thing you have to have is a decent phone service, we have Bellsouth in our area, and they provide great phone service, so don't blame an inferior service or bad home wiring on the phone if you hear either static or interference. I live in an area where there is so much radio activity until my son's remote car will just take off across the floor without anyone controlling it, yet this activity never causes problems with any of my Uniden phones,never!! I am construction contractor and I use my EXS 9800 on one of my construction sights without a hitch,--ever!! These phones have an intercom feature which is great for contacting others at the base location and again the sound and clarity is perfect. My sister has an EXS 9800 that she dropped in a sink full of water, but after drying it thoroughly it worked as good as ever! I say if you have a problem with a Uniden phone start checking everything else besides the phone, even yourself!

poor sound quality.......2002-02-12

Nice features, but recorded messages are almost unintelligible, and the sound level of the handset is too low. You can increase the volume, but then it reverts to the low level volume for the next call. I'm now looking for a new phone because I'm tired of playing messages 5 times trying to understand them. A friend of mine has a Uniden and he has the same complaints.

Better sound..........2001-12-03

We bought this phone after my wife insisted that our standard Uniden 900 Mhz sound quality wasn't good enough, so we opted for the digital spread spectrum model. It's definitely an upgrade. We have the 9980 model, which has an excellent digital answering machine and one line. The battery in the phone itself is a bit weak (If you forget to hang it up it dies). My favorite factor with all of the Uniden models is that they have a very tactile feel. When you push a button, you know it, no mush. It's the only brand on the market that seems to have that feel -- sort of the way nothing used to feel like an IBM keyboard, if you know what I mean. It's also a comfortable and lightweight phone, not too small like many phones nowadays (who wants a teensy phone that has a microphone two inches from your mouth?).
It would also be nice if you could just dial numbers and answer the phone without having to push talk first!

All in all, I like it plenty, and it's also the top-rated cordless brand in Consumer Reports.

Enjoy!

Solid phone, some poorly designed features.......2001-11-25

This phone delivers good sound quality and reception in a solid package. I have two design gripes:

1) there isn't any obvious way to adjust the ringer volume

2) the dialing sequence seems to have a timing dependency. Sometimes, I dial a number and press "talk" and the phone dials (as I'd expect). Sometimes I dial the number and press talk, and the number disappears so I have to start over from scratch. Very frustrating. This makes the phone unusable for slow dialers.

Old ones are better.......2003-09-22

When Uniden introduced this phone years ago, I purchased it and was very please with the unit. Uniden was one of the first companies to have a backup battery in the base so the cordless unit can continue to work even with power outages. This phone performed well until one day, my wife accidently left the phone on the roof of our car. It did not fall off of course until I reach 50 MPH on the highway. I saw the phone bounce and come apart in my rear view mirror. We U-turned and I picked up the pieces. Only the battery cover came off and the battery popped out. No one seemed to run over the phone, battery yes. When I put it back together it seemed to work because I hit talk and it displayed talk but, we were of course too far away.
I got home that night and it worked. Now that is a tuff phone. I ordered another battery from Uniden and got another year and a half out of it before it began to act up.
So I tried, real hard to replace the phone. I wanted one with a speaker phone in the handset. Only 2.4 and 5.8 were available and none of them got the distance the old 900 DSS got. None were as clear. When I contacted Uniden to maybe get a refurbished one, none were available. I tried V-tech, other Unidens, Panasonic, ATT, none worked more then 300 feet away. Even Consumer reports tells you that the 900 MHz DSS gets the best distance and clarity.
I finally saw my old model throught Amazon, ordered it, got it and we are back in business.
This phone goes easily up to 1/4 mile plus from my home. I took the new phone, put it on my old base, the system reset itself and it worked. I decided to use the new base with the new phone.
Now I am looking for the older models with the keypad on the base and the single unit 900 MHZ DSS units.
In short, the newer 2.4 GHZ and 5.8 GHZ is a step backwards to me. They claimed you get distance but, no way. Maybe someday, they will improve their technology so one can be more then 300 feet from the base.
Thanks for reading this.

Uniden EXS 9800.......2001-11-12

Good reception, nice features, but poor digital recording playback quality. Microphone finally gave out after 1.5 yrs and decided not to buy another Uniden with this technology.

Great price! Great feature set. Great value........2000-07-17

My minimium requirement was a Digital/900MHz SSP phone, with digital answerer. All similar equipped phones sell for $100+ (i.e. Sony, Siemens, Panasonic). I considered the 2.4GHz, but that wasn't a requirement (for me). I recommend you look into the security associated with a SSP phone, especially as a ham-radio buddy showed how easy it is to "listen-in" on cordless phone coversations!

The EXS9800 has worked great, as I've had it for one week now. The speakerphone was like a freebie, compared to other mfg phones. Frankly, the next best price for this phone was [more than the price on Amazon.com], which I could find on the internet, so kudos to Amazon for the GREAT price! The "beep" is fairly loud, but my phone is in my family room, so that's a "non-issue" for me.

Every phone review (here on Amazon) had their supporters and naysayers (including this very phone, which is pretty obvious if you're reading this). It really isn't clear which phone mfg is best, as they ALL seem to have had bad experiences with buyers, ymmv.

My 2nd choice would be the Siemens 2415 (2.4GHz SSP)...; be careful, though, as there appears to be a large number of "refurbished" units for-sale, which imho must be indicative of bad quality-control (or something like that, ymmv).

Good luck.

Lot's of features, but a few issues as well..........2000-07-07

This is a good phone... could have been a great phone if it weren't for several annoying problems with the design. There are many great features to this phone, but you can get info. on all of them from the product description or from the Uniden web site. What they don't tell you I've written below.

I've had this phone for about 9 months and I've overcome most of it's issues. The range for this phone is nice (I've taken it down to the park which is a 1 1/2 blocks from my house). The issues I still struggle with are as follows:

First, the "talk" button is a problem. It's large and easy to depress. Anyone with a cheek is bound to cut off their colleague, family or friend mid-sentence when positioning the phone between your shoulder and your ear.

Second, the base has a speakerphone but no hold button. It's easy to answer the phone when you can't find the handset... just remember that you have to hang up the base after you have located the handset. As an added bonus, if you bring the handset too close to the speakerphone with them both on, you will get the Jimi Hendrix Experience.

Third, there's no hold or mute button on the handset. The hot item on the other end of the line WILL hear that toilet flushing if you aren't careful.

Fourth, Call Waiting Caller-ID is nice, but saving the number is a pain because you have to add a 1 for long distance numbers. When editing the number, the additional digit can't be inserted, so you end up re-typing the whole number again. Like I said, nice.

Fifth, sound quality for the answering device is pathetic. Maybe Uniden was trying to make a nostalgia play by making the answering system sound like two tin cans and string.

Those are the big ones. I got a headset to deal with the hands-free issue and the other issues I just live with. Overall, I think there are better phones out there.

GOOD SOUND QUALITY EXCEPT FOR ANSWERING MACHINE.......2000-01-28

THE BASE IS VERY AWKWARD AND BULKY. SOUND QUALITY IS GOOD BUT THE ANSWERING MACHINE SOUND QUALITY IS TERRIBLE FOR INCOMING AND OUTGOING MESSAGES. THAT'S THE BIGGEST COMPLAINT.

For clarity and convenience, consider the EXAI3985 with a digital answering system. Its 900 MHz operation with auto scanning helps ensure that you get the best channel, while digital spread spectrum technology provides clear sound and longer range. Dual keypads on handset and base permit convenient dialing no matter where the handset may be. (Paging helps to recover a misplaced handset, and the intercom lets you communicate from room to room.) The unit's memory is programmable to 40 speed-dial numbers, and a 70-number caller ID memory is readily accessible on a "holographic" LCD.

With both speakerphone and headset compatibility, you'll enjoy the widest range of hands-free opportunities. The microchip technology answering system offers 15 minutes of digital recording time, displays the name and number of the caller, the time and date, and the number of messages you have collected. Dial in to access your messages when you're away from home. The ringer is adjustable to assorted melodies and distinctive ring. The phone is also wall mountable for saving space.

Flimsy and it died quickly.......2004-04-01

I got this phone directly from Uniden and it died after 5 months use. Like the previous post, nothing in the troubleshooting section worked, and it was out of warranty (90 days), so in the garbage can it went. Also, the casing on this phone is pretty cheap... it looked to be in worse condition than my 7 year old Sanyo phone.

It died in less than 6 months........2002-11-30

It was a fine phone, while it lasted. After about 6 months, it worked only sporadically, then died altogether. I followed all the suggestions in the troubleshooting section of the manual, but nothing worked. I won't be buying another Uniden.

Do something with caller ID information.......2002-04-01

There are very few phones that actually do something with the caller id information, other than just display it. This phone allows up to 30 names and numbers to the memory list. Each can have their own ring tone. Now when a call comes in with the standard tone - I know it isn't someone on my special list - I may not make the extra effort needed to get to the phone. The sound quality is good on both ends and over the speaker phone. The interface/set up is very easy.

On the minus side: when a call comes in and if the number is matched to someone in the phone memory list, the selected ring tone will sound - but the name displayed is from the Caller ID info - not the name programmed into memory. 50% of the calls I get are from numbers behind PBX exchanges (or equivelent) where the caller id name information is generic ("California Call", "Wireless Call", etc.).

I'd recommend this phone to my friends - but this isn't the "end all" phone for me ... I'll keep looking at new phones with more caller ID features.

The programmable rings make the phone.......2001-11-30

It's a trip. You don't need to look at the caller ID. All you have to do is take a few minutes to program the memory dials and the ringers that go with it and your off and running. Now I know when twinkle twinkle little star is playing it's my mom.

ON the serious side. The features are nice/functional and it is a great product for the price you pay.

I want more information.......2001-11-24

I like the features that are described.
I would like opinions on the sound quality of the answering machine outgoing and incoming messages.
I would like to know that is does not lose messages in power outages.
I would like to know it's resistance to electrical surges.
