This Affordable, Circa-2005 Uniden Model Is Functionally Identical to the Current (Outwardly Revamped) Model CXAI5698

Date of Review:  May 16, 2009
The Bottom Line: "Like New"/"refurbished" specimens of this not-so-recent model remain available from online vendors. It's a satisfactory corded phone with a likable answerer and LCD; however, its standard speed-dial-number directory's di

Not clever but has all basic features for a corded/cordless phone.

Date of Review:  Feb 3, 2005
The Bottom Line: Need a corded/cordless/Answering machine combination in a less crowded frequency range and don't need expandable system $$$? Dorm student? Give it a try.
Review: Introduction:

The Uniden CXAI5198 consists of 2 phones that share 1 phone-line jack: a base unit with a corded handset that connects to the phone jack and a power outlet, and a cordless unit with a charger that doesn't require a phone jack...

GREAT phone for the price...

Date of Review:  Nov 1, 2006
The Bottom Line: I recommend this phone for anyone who is looking for a basic corded/cordless phone. For practicality and price alone, it has my approval!
Review: First off, I don't know why this product has gotten such terrible reviews. I've owned the phone for 4 months now and it works great! Plus, the phone features are clearly displayed on the side panels of box!

I was looking for a phone with a...

Good phone, good price

Date of Review:  Jan 28, 2006
The Bottom Line: I have owned three different Uniden phones, and have been happy with all of them, including this one. If you don't need any special features, this a great phone.
Review: Having had power outages in the past that have rendered my cordless phone useless, I decided to try this unit, with the corded handset on the base unit, and the separate cordless unit. So far, everything seems fine with this phone. Set up was easy,...

Great little phone for the money. All the features

Date of Review:  Dec 15, 2006
Review: Just had this phone delivered from Circuit City. Great phone for the money. However, there is one significant problem and it sure ain't with the phone. This phone is listed twice on Epinions. Once as model CXAI 5198 with two line capability which is...

Poor quality

Date of Review:  Dec 13, 2007

Painfully loud key tones on this phone

Date of Review:  Sep 11, 2007
Review: I won't comment on what others have said, but I need to add that the base unit has programmed into it incredibly LOUD key tones that cannot be changed or lowered. You can't hold the phone near your ear when you dial out, and in the speaker phone...
