I've had several complaints in the last few days about my telephonic device sounding like I was underwater, like Finding Nemo. After another complaint today, I determined it was time to replace said telephonic devices (I've had them for close to five years now) - there's new technology anyway, 6.0 instead of 5.8, and no more little antenna things sticking out of the phone. I bought a Uniden set (the only one they had without an answering machine), one base and two handsets. I did a test call and everything sounded good to the recipient of the call. So, the phones are charging. The guy actually sold me the base unit and an extra handset. But when I opened the box with the base unit, it came with two handsets, which is all I need, so back goes the other one and I get a credit of thirty bucks.
