I got one of the red handsets and hooked it up to my 1580 base, and it's pretty cool. There are actually several hardware revisions on the DCX150, so that might make an interesting video topic.
Jordan U My 6.0 doesn’t work. The 5.8 isn’t very good because when I take it in the other end of the house from the base there’s a lot of static and connection issues.
Apparently, those phones don't know how to sing in harmony. Maybe it's because they're all different colors. You have to dial the "1" because that's the country code. The country code of the US is "1". For 99%+ of calls, yes, they are going to be in the US, so dialing the "1" would be unnecessary, but that presents a problem when you are trying to call Internationally. If it didn't require you to dial "1", it would have no other way of knowing that you're trying to dial an International call, which would then require the assistance of an operator to complete your call. Since that would actually give one person a job, they cut their job, and made it yours by forcing you to dial the country code first.
It's because they're all on different ringtones.. It was set that way intentionally.. On my other service, I never have to dial 1, only the area code if it's out of state.. Perhaps it just assumes it's in the US unless otherwise noted..
Yes, years ago, when I was a kid, we didn't have to dial "1" before a number. it was only 7 digits for a call in the same area code, and 10 digits for a call in another area code. But when direct international calling became a thing, they forced us to dial a "1" so an operator wouldn't need to get involved. I do miss those days. On my current VoIP service, I still have to dial a "1", even though my line and service does not support international calling. The reason is because they sell that as an add-on service, using the same equipment, which of course would require the dialing of the country code first. So again, they made it my job to do. If I try to dial internationally on my line, I get a recording. I guess that's better than allowing the call to go through but charging ridiculously higher rates than if I had the international plan. Some nearby counties have to dial 11 digits even for a local call. That I really don't like. There used to be a gizmo sold by sandman.com that would listen to your DTMF tones. If it heard 7 digits, it would store them, automatically dial "1" and the area code, then the 7 digits I dialed. If it heard 11 digits, it would just repeat those to the line and the call would go through. So it was a "store and forward" kind of system. it doesn't appear they sell that anymore. Too bad, I heard rumors years ago they were going to make us dial 11 digits for local calls, but it hasn't happened in 11 years. It will happen one day.
That first paragraph describes how my Obihai service works.. But it does posses the ability to make international calls.. Interesting device, but seems like that would take longer than just dialing the digits manually.. Perhaps we'll be up to even more eventually.. Or maybe not, as the telephone becomes obsolete..
Jordan U | What I don't understand is how the feedback is even possible because there's a delay between when you talk and when it comes out. I thought feedback was only when the transmission was instantaneous. Guess that was a myth.
When I recorded a greeting on my EL52303 phone I said You've reached and I say my Home Phone Number. After I said my home phone number I say at the beep Please leave a message.

I’m only aware of 2 (other than different colors), but yes that would be an interesting item to discuss.
@@JordanU I've got one where the plastic keypad buttons are attached to the rubber pad. I think the super-early ones had that...
@@thedarkcave8403 I think you’re correct, I believe my original set has that kind of buttons. Much better design.
@@JordanU Agreed!
Goodbye
The uniden 1588 ringtone is awesome
Thanks for letting me know.
Cheese! I really like the different handsets, maybe I’ll get a set for my birthday! Lol, got that 5.8 Version of the CS-6114 in the mail last night.
Just Plain Weird Goat COOL can you do a check out?
Luna Reviews later today.
Just Plain Weird Goat ok
That 5.8 variant is definitely on my list of phones to find.. I'd be interested to see a range test between the two..
Jordan U My 6.0 doesn’t work. The 5.8 isn’t very good because when I take it in the other end of the house from the base there’s a lot of static and connection issues.
I do check Messages on my Uniden Answering Machine when I get home from school.
OK
Very nice
Thanks
What is the dial number prefix from?
I don't understand what you're asking..

Does the DECT 1588 base only use 1 ringer tone?
Yes..
I got the same Uniden Phone Color silver so it will match to Camp's Phone and yours.
Thanks for letting me know..
I do have the Same Handsets registered to it! Answering Machine greeting is Generic.
The Camp's Uniden 1588 greeting it just goes beep. I do not mind that greeting because it saves people time to leave a message.
OK
Hello no one is available to take your call please leave a message after the tone.
Jordan u I love your phone
Thanks..
Alternate title: "Calling more test phones with the test phone! Featuring feedback!"
I've really got to work out some way to eliminate the feedback.. If only these all had carbon microphones still..

That was indeed a mythical theory..

OK..
I usually keep all earpiece phone volumes up all the way when I talk on the Uniden phone.
I typically leave it on low.. The Uniden phones have good volume..
I love soft blankets Jordan they are the best to sleep
OK
