I have had my CXAI 5198 for almost a year. There are features that I love about this phone, such as the remote accessability to the answering machine from the handset, and the fact that I can screen callers without having to hear the phone ring by shutting off the ringer and waiting to hear the outgoing message followed by any message left by the caller. The reason I give this unit a 4 out of 5 is this, battery life of the wireless unit is not all that great, after a few hours of use it needs to go back on the charger, so power talkers will be frustrated with this. Another is I would like to know who is calling before the answering machine picks up. I wish this had a feature like my sister's system has that announces the phone number before the answering machine picks up the call. On the plus side of this unit, it does display the quality expected of the Uniden name. I have used many of this companies products and purchased this phone since it was made by Uniden. I have also used this wireless set while working on my computer and have found no instance of interference from the handset. In some cases some wireless phones do emit some small intereference with the monitor, but not this one! No intereference at all. The intercom feature is also helpful as I live in a fairly large house that no one can hear if I yell somebody has a call. Using the intercom feature helps since no one seams to be able to hear me when I yell down the stairs, but they hear the intercom on the phone in the kitchen.Read full review
The phone operates well and has some special features that I enjoy i.e. memory and dial-up. I use a headset with the phone system and I do not need the answering machine features. The only problem was the telephone cord that when I use the handset, I get a crackling sound which I plan to replace. Since I use a headset, it doesn't affect the operation of the telephone system. The cordless option gives me the freedom to leave the office. Good reception and range. Well worth the bang for the buck.

I wasted a lot of time and years purchasing cordless telephone systems until I purchased this Uniden Telephone System, Model No. CXAI5198. It is the best system I've ever owned! This corded base of this telephone offers many features such as answering machine, handset pager, intercom, hold button, memo recording, and do not disturb. The cordless part offers some of the same features such as intercom and hold. Most importantly, the cordless offers a long lasting battery which is getting extremely difficult to find these days! While this system may be a bit pricer than other systems, it is worth every cent. Uniden, I have found, is one of the better makers of telephone systems; especially when it comes to cordless telephones.
love this new phone. it has a lot of nice features. i really love the speed dial that lets you put the names on it. my old one just had the numbers and you had to check the kepad to know what number was what person. i have not found anything about it that i do not like so far. the handheld is a nice addition that gets good reception even though i put it in another room, not the same one as the corded phone. i have two other uniden phones so this purchase was a no brainer for me because i already knew it was a quality product.
