We have been using these handsets at our business for about 3 years now and they have been dropped on cement floors, soaked in water and used to answer phone calls all day long. They have certainly stood up to the durability test. The only reason that I did not give them 5 stars is the rubber around the edges has worn off on some of the handsets and the numbers and lettering on one of the keypads are no longer visible.
Mine cannot be used past 30 feet from the base. I cannot even get asignal from 15 feet on the other side of the office wall. This thingsucks. I have 8 standard Uniden receivers and they all get receptionin the same spots.
We bought the phone set from Sams Club and it came with this Waterproof Handset. It's the best phone of the entire set. I had an accident and mine got smashed, so I reordered another one because it's such a great phone. I would recommend this too anyone that wants an "outdoor" phone.
But now, we can really indulge our laziness :) and just call anyone who happens to be inside on the intercom while we're outside in the pool or spa to come bring us drinks, towels or whatever. Using the regular handset outdoors was okay if we weren't near the water.
Had the older version and that worked okay but it was sometimes very hard to hear if the phone got wet. THIS phone works great even after getting soaked.
Bought this phone on 4/20/08. Can't say enough about the intercom feature now being available to us in the waterproof version.
My son was playing with it in the spa just to test it. Haven't actually let it fall to the bottom of our 8-foot pool (which is conveniently the max depth of waterproofness of this phone).I love the fact that the TWX977 accessory handset is fully compatible with our TRU9488.
And using the older waterproof version was okay too (but no compatible features). BTW, the intercom feature on the phones works so well, that we've stopped using our hardwired intercom system in the house.
I have two of there¡¦s phones. But it¡¦s a pain to get it if it floats away whirl on your raft. Both phones have NEVER given me a problem, and like any water proof equipment just simply tap out the ear piece if it gets wet and it works perfectly.
I use the one in Sherman oaks while I¡¦m ¡§in¡¨ the pool, and the West Palm Beach one in the shower. And yes, I recommend this phone to just about anyone who values the life of there cell phone around a pool. One at my apt in Sherman oaks, CA, and one at my house in West Palm Beach, FL.
I have great range with the phones and can use them any ware within about 150 feet from the base. I get a lot of phone calls from clients from both the east and west costs and at the worst times, and being bi-costal sure makes that a little more difficult them I¡¦d like. So I swim with one and use the other next to the shower.
This phone can swim with you. º
