DECT 6.0 technology offers better performance, security, and battery life than older 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz phones.
The Uniden DECT2088 cordless phone system offers:
- Wi-fi friendly DECT 6.0 technology for maximum voice clarity and call security.
- Ability to make and receive calls during a power failure.
- Digital answering system with up to 14 minutes of recording time.
- High-capacity phonebook for up to 70 names and numbers.
Interference Free Cordless FrequencyThe DECT2088 utilizes DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) technology with a frequency range of 1.9 GHz, which means you won't have to worry about this phone interfering with your Wi-Fi networks. In addition, you'll enjoy maximum voice security and the clearest voice reception, so there's no struggling to hear or be heard while talking on the phone.
Digital Technology For Message Management
The DECT2088 includes a digital answering machine with handset access and an impressive 14-minute recording time, so you'll never miss an important message. This system also uses microchip technology for clearer recordings and longer life. And you won't have to worry about replacing broken moving parts!
User-Friendly Features
Designed to be easy to use, the DECT2088 offers menu prompts in both English and Spanish, while the backlit keypad makes it a snap to enter phone numbers or access features in any light setting. The large, easy-to-read LCD screen clearly displays the date, time, extension and other data and is also compatible with the caller-ID and call-waiting display. And the 70 phone book locations and 30-number caller ID history help ensure that you'll never need to hunt for a number again. And the three-party conferencing option, which allows you to conference Line 1, Line 2, base and caller, is great for talking to friends and family members.
Expandable, Dependable Operation
The DECT2088 truly adapts to your needs by being expandable to up to six handsets, and by offering time-saving features. First, the high visibility message waiting indicator lets you immediately know when someone has left a message. And when you're on the phone and the call waiting beeps, you won't have to wait to find out who's calling--the LCD clearly displays the name and number of the caller in call waiting. (Note: to activate this feature, you must subscribe through your telephone company.) You can also use the handset as a speakerphone, transfer calls between handsets and personalize ringers so you'll know who's on the line before you pick up the phone. To save you time, this system also offers last five number redial capabilities.
About DECT Technology
Advanced DECT 6.0 technology, or Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications, operates on the newly released 1.9 GHz frequency band that was recently allocated to support cordless telephony. Uniden DECT 6.0 incorporates unique "listen before transmit" technology that avoids interference with many household products, such as baby monitors, microwaves and WiFi (which operate on frequencies like 2.4 GHz). As a result, DECT phones offer consumers enhanced voice clarity and crystal clear digital sound quality. DECT 6.0 technology also offers higher security and voice protection, as well as a longer battery and battery standby life than existing 2.4 GHZ or 5.8 GHz phones.
The DECT2088 is backed by a one-year limited warranty.

Customer Reviews
Kelly M Said: Not a good purchase. ( Jul. 10th 2009 )
I have only had these phones (cordless/corded set) for three months and I can't call out on either phone. It automatically goes back to a dial tone. I am waiting to hear from their customer service (takes 3-4 days)but if I do have to send it in for repair, I have to pay shipping which is a crock because it is under warranty and Uniden should have to pay for all costs associated w/repairs. Plus, I may get a refurbished phone which means I will be getting someone else's problem! This will probably be my first and last Uniden purchase. Unfortunately, from the reviews I have read, most phones these days aren't made any better.
Richard Crum Said: Great Phone! ( May. 28th 2009 )
I replace my dct7488 with this one. Spending $90 to get the 3 handset model couldn't be beat. It's definitely a great phone system. The other reviewers already went over all the great features of the phone, so i'm only going to mention the ones I noticed missing.
- No room monitoring
- Can't change ringtone on base
- No speed dial
On the old system I had speed dial 1 setup to activate call forwarding to my cell phone. Aside from those three missing features, I am totally happy with my decision. I poured over a lot of reviews for different models and brands but always seem to come back to uniden. They just make a great product that won't break the bank.
Audrey Michelle Furman Said: best ever ( Mar. 30th 2009 )
I like the product very much its better then what i had so am very
satisfy with it thank you very much.
apb Said: some good, some bad ( Jan. 31st 2009 )
The main problem with this phone is that the corded handset does not feed your voice back into the earpiece, so the phone sounds like it is dead, when in fact it is working and the person at the other end can hear you just fine. Makes you speak more loudly than necessary.
Also, this phone suffers from the handset shrinking disease. The corded handset is even smaller than on the 5.8GHz model, making it harder to hold, and causing the microphone to be nowhere near your mouth.
The speakerphone is nice and loud while maintaining good fidelity, and the earpiece likewise. Corded earpiece is much louder than the Uniden 5.8 GHz model I tried.
User interface is really bad. But, the manual is halfway decent. Halfway.
LCD displays on base and cordless handsets are good. LCD on cordless is on all the time, but backlight comes on only when receiving, speaking, or calling. Cordless handset has good volume.
No battery backup, hence many functions missing if no AC power. But, you should connect it to your UPS; it only draws a couple of watts.
Another annoying feature is that on the base, when you start to dial a call, there is a delay before the dialing tones are heard, even though there is no delay in the pushbutton beeps. This can be very confusing and make you misdial. Better to wait about 3 seconds for the phone to boot up and have no such delay.
Moqs Said: Drops calls!! ( Jan. 9th 2009 )
This would be a great phone if it did not occasionally drop calls!! Every few weeks, in the middle of a call, the handset suddenly drops the call. In every case, I have been less than 15 feet from the base. Twice I was sitting right next to it. Extremely annoying!!!
