Sure, we like the Uniden 5.8GHz dual handset digital cordless phone for all its newfangled features. We’re into Random Code digital security, IntegriSound, Distinctive Ringer customization and cetera. It’s all good, as the young people say.
With something called “DirectLink mode,” for example, you can use this phone’s handsets like walkie-talkies! Isn’t that cool?
Let’s say you’re out weeding the vegetable garden, and you’ve brought the phone with you for whatever reason. Let’s also say that your vegetable garden is not farther than, say, 850 feet from your porch, and there’s a clear line of sight between them. Now let’s say your spouse has dinner ready and wants to summon you to the table. The old way was to holler “[YOUR NAME HERRRRRE]! DINNNERRR!”
That’s uncouth, annoys the neighbors, drives property values down, and, over time, can cause nodules on the vocal folds.
With this Uniden cordless phone in DirectLink mode, your spouse can notify you of mealtime over the air! It’s easy, convenient—and fun, because you can make up some CB slang for it, like “Big Poppa to Fuzzy Munchkin, we got chicken on china back at the nest. Flutter on back ASAP, ‘hear?”
Another clever innovation chez Uniden is that you can use this phone like a baby monitor. With the base or a handset in one room, you can listen in from another, using a second handset as a remote speaker. It’s great for espionage, or for discouraging your teenaged kids’ make-out sessions.
But the best thing about this Uniden phone isn’t a new idea at all: It’s an old-fashioned feature that went out of style for no good reason. They call it “AutoTalk,” but we call it “the phone picks up when you pick up the phone.” How many calls have you missed at friends’ or relatives’ homes because you were unfamiliar with their particular make of cordless phone, so it took you the final two rings to figure out what to press to answer? Yeah, when you pick up a phone, that oughta engage the line. That’s the way we used to do it in the old days, and the new way is not an improvement.
Even better, when you hang this phone back up, it hangs up! Isn’t that refreshing? You put the handset back in the cradle and CLICK, you’ve punched that telemarketer’s one-way ticket to Disconnectedsville. We foresee the return of the angry hang-up! That’ll be exciting. And it’ll be Uniden that helped make it happen.
