Better than the TCX805 for the Tru888x family,
I bought two of these to supplement my Uniden Tru8888 after researching compatibility. While the software driving these phones has much of the interface of the TCX805/Tru888x line, I’ll cut my stars accordingly for the Tru888x line. Comments about this expansion handset:
- The four-way joystick-like button is a blessing. The up-down buttons on the TCX805 are OK but the left-right buttons fail to work when editing a number in the phone book especially to add the 1 before an area code. They instead add # and *. Here, you don’t have to re-type the whole number, just move where you want with the joystick. The odd but subsequently convenient Space typed by right-arrowing in text is gone, apparently replaced by the character range on zero, one of which is a space. Operation in low light is a lot easier with the big joystick button.
- Two numbers per phonebook entry seems to be new here, and I like it.
- The quality of sound, range and the clarity of the speakerphone on the handset remain excellent.
- They seem to mate to a TCX805 charger but don’t seem to fit in right. So if you have a mix, don’t interchange their charger bases.
- I like the overall feel and I prefer using the 905′s in the bedrooms (where you might have to use them in the dark) and the 805 remains in the living room.
I’ll update with my experiences as I continue to use them. For now, the TCX905 gets all five stars.

|Lolts of bang for the buck!!,
Good phone for the price. I have a CLX485 base. A matching extension phone (TCX440) costs almost $100. This phone is only $30 from Amazon (including shipping). It couples easily with my base & TCX440. I upload my Outlook phone file to the TCX440 than sent the phone files to the TCX905. The TCX440 permits 4 phone numbers per person, the TCX905 permits only 2 phone numbers per person. However, the TCX905 handles any phone numbers above 2 in an intelligent way – it creates an additional listing with the same name containing the additional numbers — SMART!! I agree with a previous reviewer that this phone is even better than the more expensive TCX805 model.
However, it does have its faults.
1. You must manually edit all phone numbers requiring a 1 prefix. The phone knows its area code (part of the setup menu). Instead of automatically adding a 1 to all phone numbers out of your area code, it makes you edit each and every out of town number. STUPID!!
2. I found an insidious quirk. I have 7 doctors’ phone numbers. I preface each doctor’s name with “Dr”. This keeps all doctors names in one area – easy to find. Unfortunately, it drops the last doctor’s entry when transferring numbers from the base. No fault is generated; it indicates that the transfer is successful. You think that all phone numbers are transferred. The problem was corrected by changing one preface from “Dr” to “Doc”. Apparently, a max of 6 entries can have the same first 2 letters. Anything above 6 is just ignored. – STRANGE!!

|Two chargers DOA,
We purchased 5 extra handsets for other rooms in the home. The phone itself is great, has great features, sound quality, speaker phone, etc. HOWEVER, two of the handsets we purchased had dead chargers, that is, they won’t charge the phones. So, now we have two phones who don’t have their own charger which means we have to switch and swap the phones in other rooms before the charges run out. We are in contact with Customer Service to see if we can resolve this, but I did want to warn would be purchasers of this possible problem.
UPDATE: We contacted customer service and they sent us two new chargers via Fed Ex.
