Wouldn't Have The Phone Set Without It!
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.

Works as Advertised
Bought this phone on 4/20/08. 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. 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. Can't say enough about the intercom feature now being available to us in the waterproof version. Using the regular handset outdoors was okay if we weren't near the water. And using the older waterproof version was okay too (but no compatible features). 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. BTW, the intercom feature on the phones works so well, that we've stopped using our hardwired intercom system in the house.

Great for the pool, and the spa
I have two of there¡¦s phones. One at my apt in Sherman oaks, CA, and one at my house in West Palm Beach, FL. I use the one in Sherman oaks while I¡¦m ¡§in¡¨ the pool, and the West Palm Beach one in the shower. 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. 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 have great range with the phones and can use them any ware within about 150 feet from the base.

And yes, I recommend this phone to just about anyone who values the life of there cell phone around a pool. This phone can swim with you! But it¡¦s a pain to get it if it floats away whirl on your raft. º

The only waterproof cordless out there.
As far as I could find, Uniden makes the only waterproof cordless handsets available. They float, too! They should know something about making these waterproof since they are a major manufacturer of marine radio equipment.

This handset is ideal for setting on the edge of the spa or leaving in the cup holder of a pool float. Good in the bathroom, too.

The sound and features are terrific, especially the speaker and intercom capabilities. One last thing, for some reason, the range on this handset is better than the range on the regular handset.

Nice phone - solid reception.
I have recently bought two of these phones and, while I've not tried them out in water yet, they function quite well. My only complaint was somewhat with the lack of documentation on the handset phone. The directions aren't clear as to how you link a remote phone to the base. On the base unit there is a button on the bottom that you use to link them. Once I figured it out they work fine. I really like the intercom feature.
