How has the general experience been w/ Uniden "like New" refurbs.? Parents could use this, I have some Uniden multi-handset phones that are pretty good.
Green for you. In for one, great deal especially if the free headset ships. Dont know if it will as there was no mention in the cart about the promotion. Any thoughts?
I read 1 base can handle 6 handsets, but I would like to buy 3 of these, use 1 base connected to my phone line and then use 2 bases just as handset chargers.
One thing that worried me in the manual was that it said handsets COULD sync just by putting them in the base, what isn't clear is if they auto-resync when put in the base. It looks like you can manually force register a handset to another base, the question is, do they stay registered even if you charge in a different base, anyone know for certain?

I can't say for certain about this model, but I have another Uniden phone that works exactly the way you describe. I have 3 "base" units, but I have them all registered to one base and use the other 2 bases as chargers only. Works fine. If I remember correctly, they will only auto-register if you put them in a special mode before seating them in the base.

Yes, you can do this no problem. The phone has to be in registration mode to switch bases.
There are some other pretty good deals on the Uniden website. DECT2180-2 29.99
So if I need 2 handsets (don't really need the headsets), just order 2 and the second will act as only a charger correct?? The location of my second phone now has no phone line access...

For those wondering about registering a second handset, read the first one star review on the linked above page. You just hold down the FLASH/EXIT and the POUND keys. Select BASE UNAVAILABLE. Confirm. That should then allow you to put the phone into the base cradle and -- VOILA! -- it should now REGISTER.
My order just went through. I figured for $16 it wasn't a huge gamble even though no one weighed in re the quality of Uniden stores refurb "like new" units.
Or anyone w/hearing aid, hearing problems and/or vision problems. Or if you like your home phone bigger (Clunkier??, like 1990 cordless phone size) than most that are sold today.

Thankyou! After reading this info and rereading the previous posts it makes sense now.. Looks good!
Awesome! Thanks for the info, that seals the deal for me. I thought the extra bases would work as charger only, just couldn't tell 100% from the stinkin manual!
I rec'd both phones yesterday. Charged them overnight and hooked them up today. Great deal and I was able to register them both to the main base and use the other base as a charger only using the info from earlier in this thread. Wish I was able to give OP another green.. Very happy.. And on a side note my 3 year old loves wearing the free headsets that were included!
