Uniden FP 1200

brand new and keypad does not work. what a hunk of junk.

Uniden FP 1200 OK only, and here is how you can do better – Uniden FP 1200 phone is basic and works OK, but a much better option in the same line for a landline phone is a "Telstra Easy Control Desktop Phone". Menu is simpler and better, manual is simpler and better, sound is better, ringer volume is better, earpiece is better. Only costs $48. It’s a good option I think for anyone wanting a landline… Read more

corded phone (as I was), and the only corded option from Telstra. Can get it by ordering from Telstra online or from some Telstra stores. The Uniden did not have a loud enough ringer, as I needed to hear it upstairs from downstairs. The Telstra one is good for that. I returned the Uniden FP 1200 to Good Guys.

Don't waste your money on this 'cheap' phone – Over the past few years this is the third time I've bought this phone. Only because of the cheap price. But each time the phone works fine till just out of warranty (funny about that?) then things start to go wrong or stop working. Why do companies like this have such a hard time making things that actually work and last? Profit over quality obviously. Never buying Uniden again. You've been warned! Show details

Quality at a reasonable price – No Bells or Whistles but does the job well. Reasonably priced at under $70. Would have rated 5 stars if had a slightly higher volume level for outgoing calls. Still adequate but, as meant for older people whose hearing may be fading, one more notch would be great. Other than that - great phone. Show reply

failure – terrible manufacture a land line phone I purchased in 4 months I had to take it back , it would not work properly. The return of phone to the store it happened 2 times in 12 months and after the expire o warranty 17 months later it stopped working . I will never buy anything to do with Uniden.. Show details

not impressed – This phone has hardly been used and the keypad doesn't work. Yes it is out of warranty but a poor quality product. Uniden don't care. Uniden offered for me to send it back for a repair at a minimum cost of $55, happens to be the purchase price of the phone. So not buying from Uniden again.  Show details

Not very happy! – We bought a new Uniden FP 1200 as on our previous one the caller ID and the correct time went haywire.The same has happened on this one.The time is showing as 2 hours ahead of Perth time,and the caller ID did not work at all.Uniden says that it is the fault of our phone provider and Optus says it is the fault of Uniden.We have a friend who also… Read more

has a Uniden but a different phone provider and she is having the same problem. So what is going on? Who is right? I manually set the time and date on it but when a phone call came in it reverted to Queensland time.

Other than that the phone seems OK.

Handset "sticking" – After 8 months ownership, the button under the earpiece is now sticking and stays down for a few seconds when you pick up the handpiece. I can live with this normally, but when you pick up the phone to answer a call sometimes you miss the call whilst waiting for it to "pick up" properly. So frustrating and I wouldn't buy the same phone again. Also the menu / screen system is too complicated and needs to be modernised.

wall mounted – I bought this same phone 2 days ago after discovering that the handset would not stay in position in wall mounted situation I found the little clip next to the dial tone button has to be removed and turned upside down and that takes care of the wall mounting.And you people that say this phone can't be wall fitted are wrong.

Great phone - great price – Bought this phone at Dick Smith Electronics and got an additional free 12 months warranty. Haven't installed it on a wall, but cannot see any problem if instructions are followed. Ringer volume & hand set volumes are good. And I wear hearing aids. Also have cordless phones in use, but cannot use them when the power goes off - with the FP1200 I can use it whether power's on or off.

Uniden FP1200 Wall Mounting Problem – The phone cannot be used wall mounted as it wont switch off dial tone. Took it back to Dick Smith but salesperson wouldn't acknowledge there is a problem. Pity I already drilled holes in wall, so unless next phone is identical I have a problem...not happy with Uniden or Dick Smiths.

Disappointing wall phone – I bought the FP1200 as a wall phone and it does not hang up the line in the wall phone position. I placed a sticky pad into the mouthpiece recess which rotates the phone slightly out and then it works.

Wall mounting does not work – When mounting this phone on the wall the handset does not hold to switch off the dial tone. Phoned the company Uniden and they suggested we take it back

Can't Listen to Recorded Messages!! – I've looked at the instruction manual, and there no means of how to listen to your voicemail. Is this phone even capable of playing back voicemail? Please help me with this. This isn't a cheap phone and I am disappointed in this product. Its pretty decent phone other wise, just the answer machine is the only thing thats impossible to find.

A Bad phone for elderly people – The volume on the speaker is very weak even on max , my elderly father could not hear anything. Terrible! The design of the phone is great, big and readable buttoms with style. It needs to improve the volume to a louder mode. Now, I have to look for another phone with extra loud volume and big buttoms. it's a great looking phone with clear big buttons Volume on the speaker is too weak for elderly people even when put in Max. Bad!
