I have 8 standard Uniden receivers and they all get receptionin the same spots. This thingsucks. Mine cannot be used past 30 feet from the base. I cannot even get asignal from 15 feet on the other side of the office wall.
I would recommend this too anyone that wants an "outdoor" phone. I had an accident and mine got smashed, so I reordered another one because it's such a great phone. We bought the phone set from Sams Club and it came with this Waterproof Handset. It's the best phone of the entire set.
But now, we can really indulge our laziness :) and just call anyone who happens to be inside on the intercom while we're outside in the pool or spa to come bring us drinks, towels or whatever. And using the older waterproof version was okay too (but no compatible features). Using the regular handset outdoors was okay if we weren't near the water.
Had the older version and that worked okay but it was sometimes very hard to hear if the phone got wet. Haven't actually let it fall to the bottom of our 8-foot pool (which is conveniently the max depth of waterproofness of this phone).I love the fact that the TWX977 accessory handset is fully compatible with our TRU9488. Bought this phone on 4/20/08.
Can't say enough about the intercom feature now being available to us in the waterproof version. BTW, the intercom feature on the phones works so well, that we've stopped using our hardwired intercom system in the house. THIS phone works great even after getting soaked.
My son was playing with it in the spa just to test it.
I get a lot of phone calls from clients from both the east and west costs and at the worst times, and being bi-costal sure makes that a little more difficult them I¡¦d like. This phone can swim with you. One at my apt in Sherman oaks, CA, and one at my house in West Palm Beach, FL.
I have great range with the phones and can use them any ware within about 150 feet from the base. But it¡¦s a pain to get it if it floats away whirl on your raft. And yes, I recommend this phone to just about anyone who values the life of there cell phone around a pool.
I have two of there¡¦s phones. Both phones have NEVER given me a problem, and like any water proof equipment just simply tap out the ear piece if it gets wet and it works perfectly. º
I use the one in Sherman oaks while I¡¦m ¡§in¡¨ the pool, and the West Palm Beach one in the shower. So I swim with one and use the other next to the shower.
Good in the bathroom, too.The sound and features are terrific, especially the speaker and intercom capabilities. They should know something about making these waterproof since they are a major manufacturer of marine radio equipment.This handset is ideal for setting on the edge of the spa or leaving in the cup holder of a pool float. One last thing, for some reason, the range on this handset is better than the range on the regular handset. As far as I could find, Uniden makes the only waterproof cordless handsets available. They float, too.
