Quality Home Office Phone, September 27, 2006

This review is from: Panasonic KX-TS105B Integrated Business Corded Phone - Black (Electronics)

Hard to find a quality phone these days. This Panasonic does all the basics required for a home office, including a decent speakerphone. Note that the speakerphone uses AA batteries, not an AC adaptor. Phone does NOT need batteries to work as basic phone. Recommended, but only appears to be sold online.

Just the phone I was looking for..., June 18, 2007

This review is from: Panasonic KX-TS105B Integrated Business Corded Phone - Black (Electronics)

I have a home office and do contract work for other companies. I needed a corded phone (for security reasons) with no bells and whistles like caller ID. The phone had to have a headset jack for hands free talking. There are very few corded phones on the market that are really this inexpensive that had the features I needed. Most everything has went to cordless. The buttons are a nice size. The mute is invaluable to my work along with the volume. I also love when I am working late that i can turn the ringer off as to not disturb anyone in my home and the phone flashses a red light when a call is coming in. Don't hesitate to buy this phone if you are thinking about it. You can't beat the free super saver shipping either.

No silent option for call screening, April 12, 2011

Its impossible to shut off call screening. When the answering machine answers, the phone plays the incoming message while caller is speaking. You can adjust the volume, but the lowest value is 1. This means that you can't shut it off.

If you are in an office environment where the machine needs to answer silently, don't choose this phone.

Wonderful phone!, September 27, 2010

This review is from: Uniden 1380BK Corded Caller ID phone with Answering System, black, one phone (Office Product)

This phone is terrific--very user friendly. I especially like the fact that the time and date of each call is automatically entered through caller ID whenever a call is received. No need to reset the phone after a power failure. The sound quality is excellent--the volume can be easily adjusted to each users needs. The adjustable angle of the caller ID screen makes viewing calls easy.

Easy to Program, October 8, 2008

This review is from: Uniden BC-95XLT NASCAR Bearcat 200-Channel Portable Scanner (Electronics)

I was scared to buy this item after reading how hard it was to program it from the reviews. It could not be easier! I read the directions through twice which is important and had 5 banks loaded up with all the local agencies in less than an hour. It's a fun toy. I purchased it for emegencies since we live near a oil coker plant. Twice it lit up the sky when they had to release gases. It looked like a bomb had been dropped. When this kind of thing happens all phone lines are busy. No reaching police or fire. Nice to have a scanner!!!!

Very fine searching/scanning radio, September 1, 2008

Ann E. Revelle (Los Alamos, New Mexico) -

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Uniden BC-95XLT NASCAR Bearcat 200-Channel Portable Scanner (Electronics)

This is a fine searching/scanning radio (with scanning defined as finding stations within the frequencies that have been stored by the user in banks of 10 with 20 banks available). It is very well made and should last a long time. Many of the numerous keys perform two functions, one as labeled and a second one using the FN key when pressed first. It is a fairly heavy hand-held unit with back-lighting supplied automatically only when needed or separately when desired by the user. This unit the new bc95xlt (or the newer designation bc95xltb) is an update of the earlier Uniden model that had railroad band searching (by individual channels) for example directly within the six pre-programmed service search bands, but now to do railroad listening you can simply specify one of the 10 unspecified frequency search bands instead. Other reviewers have found this change to be totally adequate even if you are a railroad enthusiast just like I am.
I am also into aircraft band listening and this is still designated within the 6 pre-programmed service band search sequence. Also, the weather bands which don't search automatically (since there are only 7 USA channels) are extremely clear with no static at all. I am extremely pleased with this unit and I am very glad that I was able to get it at this very low price (compared to the bc72xlt which is still just like the old version of the bc95xlt as can readily be confirmed on Uniden's own website).

The unit also has a nice built-in speaker that is surprisingly adequate for everyday listening, but also comes with a mini-plug jack for a monaural earphone (but not supplied surprisingly!). It also has a separate BNC antenna jack (and it does come with the antenna!) as well as analog controls for both squelch and separately for the speaker volume. The LCD display is very nice and easy to read and indicates a multitude of the numerous possible options such as: 1) Low battery indicator (for either regular Alkaline AA cells or Ni-Metal hydride rechargeable batteries with a switch internal to the battery compartment for setting which type is being used), 2) Searching the specific service band search types- Weather (WX), Police (POL), Fire, Aircraft (AIR), Marine (MRN by channel), HAM, etc., 3) Bank Scanning (for user or computer-stored frequencies), 4) Close Call-Capture listening for very nearby sources of unknown origin, 5) DELAY allowances for time departures between outgoing and incoming radio signals, etc.

CON: The unit's belt clip can only be removed by unscrewing the two screws directly from the back of the unit, but on the plus side, it will certainly stay on very snugly and securely when it is needed. Also the serial or USB cable as well as the software needed for using a PC to store frequencies automatically must be purchased separately directly from Uniden.
The unit also comes with an AC adaptor which is probably because the batteries don't last a super long time. Another reviewer estimated a battery lifetime of 5 days for heavy usage.
This is also not the unit to buy if you live in a BIG city where far more expensive trunk-tracking technology is needed to adequately track Police conversations on multiple frequencies for example.

Better than Wavesecure!!!, March 22, 2011

Josh A. -

This review is from: SeekDroid (App)

This app is superior to McAfee's wavesecure in that you do NOT have to go through the trouble of rooting your phone in order to allow REMOTE enabling of your GPS to accurately find your phone.

For Wavesecure to be useful the GPS needs to already be turned on on your phone (unless you're a root user which I am not). Also being able to retrieve the last 10 or so incoming/outgoing phone calls remotely is a pretty powerful feature to be able to have.

The program also does remote locking well.

I just wish the "Alarm" notification where it states "Please help me find my owner" would stay on longer than one beep while my phone is on it's lock screen. I noticed if my phone is unlocked and I send the alarm notification the alarm continues like it's supposed to.

Oh and to "hide" the app on your phone you have to enable that remotely from the website then reboot your phone.

Love the Lock and Wipe Options, March 23, 2011

Bill Justesen "Computer Geek" (USA) -

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: SeekDroid (App)

SeekDroid is EXACTLY what I was looking for in a security product if I ever lost my Droid X. I looked at competitor's software, but they all wanted a monthly subscription to provide equal or inferior service. I love being able to see the last 10 phone calls as well as locking the phone remotely, and I especially love the fact that I can wipe both the phone and the Micro SD card. All of these other functions are located at the SeekDroid Web site.

Pros:
- One-time fee (no monthly subscription)
- Ability to view last 10 phone calls
- Ability to wipe the phone (and/or SD card) remotely
- Ability to hide the software as it runs on the phone
- Ability to view location of the phone via GPS functionality
- Ability to send an alert with a custom alarm message to the phone (helpful to locate a missing phone)

Cons:
- None

Parents, if you need to know the location of your child this app will help you do so. And if you are like me and tend to forget where you placed the phone recently, then the alert is an extra bonus!

TERRIBLE QUALITY, August 6, 2009

This review is from: 3.5mm Stereo Male to Female Extension Cable 50 ft. (Electronics)

Well I'm afraid the old adage wins true here -- you get what you pay for.

Although it seems nice: great extension, good fit, etc; the product simply doesnt work. The sound will be fine but if you bumb the cord be prepared to spend 10 minutes finding the orientation of moving pieces of it around until the sound comes back and the screeching stops.

I would reccomend something gold lined instead and shell out a few more bones.

cheap wire inside....worked for a while, but the wiring inside broke. I am easy on my cables, so my verdict is that the wiring is just cheap.
