Pretty good phone
We got this phone for a 79 year old man with 2 phone lines. The numbers are large and the display is also large so that he can see it better. The downside is that it does not have an answering machine, rather, it uses voicemail through the phone company to do that.

Works like I thought it should
I had gotten a voip line that connected to a regular phone and wanted to allow the use of it upstairs and down. Rather than wiring for it, I decided to get a two-line cordless that I could use everywhere and multiple handsets. It works great! I can now call out on the voip line from anywhere in the house.

More intuitive than Panasonic, but has range issues
I bought the Uniden TRU9466 2-line to replace my older Panasonic KX-TG6500 2-line. The reason was because my Panasonic would only allow up to three extra handsets plus the base station (4 total) which isn't enough.
The Uniden I bought allows up to 9 handsets plus base station (10 total). The Uniden also has a more intuitive phone book feature (you can access a person's name faster), and it has a one-button speed dial for up to 10 people which the Panasonic doesn't have. It also allows you to page all other stations simultaneously -- the Panasonic forces you to page one at a time.
However, the Panasonic had exceptional range. My base station sits in between my laptop and my desktop computers, with a 3rd computer nearby (and pretty soon a fourth), and an 802.11n wireless network hub about two feet away. The Panasonic had no problem with this at all. I could hear clearly on all handsets, even outside. The Uniden, however, not so good with the range. The base is in the same location, and the handsets in the same room or down the hall work okay, but downstairs the handsets have an irregular static noise, like what you might hear if you rubbed the microphone across your hair. Sometimes it goes away, but when you first start talking on the phone it's hard to hear anyone. If you walk upstairs the signal gets better.
The only way to solve this is put a separate Uniden base station downstairs and register the downstairs handsets to that. But I wish it had the range and clarity that the Panasonic did.
This Uniden model does not have a built-in answering machine; whereas the Panasonic did. I do not want an answering machine, and do not want to pay for the hardware, so this was good. I use my computer to answer the phone (PhoneValet on the Mac), which sends the voicemail as an email with a sound file attachment, and allows me to design "push 1 for so-and-so, push 2 for so-and-so."
One more drawback I just discovered with the Uniden: the clear plastic plate you look through for the LCD screen is very easily marred and scratched. One of my phones is badly chafed on just the clear plate, and I have no idea why. I thought it was goo, so I tried cleaning it, but it seems to have been lightly surface-damaged, so now the LCD is slightly fuzzy. Do yourself a favor and either keep the clear packing cellophane over the window to protect it, or apply clear packing tape or something over it so this doesn't happen.
Except for the range problem the Uniden is a beautiful little phone, and very well designed programatically. Registering a handset has never been easier. Just place the unregistered handset in the base for a few seconds, it beeps, your done.

Plug it in and it works
I purchased this Uniden 2-line cordless to use with a VOIP system to replace my antiquated office phone system. I added 2 additional extension handsets. In initial testing of the system, I did find that at the extremes of distance from the base within my office there was a hair of static interference but not an intolerable amount. The feature set fulfills all of my needs. In two weeks of implementation, I have had no problems with this system.

Works well with two line VOIP providers
I have viatalk and their two line voip and never know which line will be ringing in and made it a problem. So I found this phone system and after reviewing the reviews and specs I decided on it. It was a good decision as it works perfectly well with the voip and never have to worry about what line is calling just pick up the phone and answer or dial even if someone is on the other line. I am totally satisfied.
