What range - working distance from the base unit - might one expect from the handsets?

I haven't really tested to see how far the range is....but...our garage is about 30-40 feet from our house and we have an extension out there and the service seems to be OK.

Why do you want to use the handset next to the base? Maybe the proximity of the the two is the source of your problem. I own two of these systems, and use the handsets in rooms adjoining the bases. In both cases the handset works perfectly. Check to make sure the handset is fully charged.

I've not tried the range , but this is a very good product, well designed, I'm sure they have thought this thru. You would have seen negative comments by now if not.

My base is in the back room and we use the cordless phones throughout the house and do not hear any difference in sound and best of all there is no static. I have not walked outside with it but on average I am about 30-40 ft. away. The battery lasts a long time too.

While I find the power and sound to be good on this unit, the blue tooth range is not impressive, it flakes out at about 30 ft. Good luck

Remote handset should not be placed next to the base station for any make and model...the signal strength may be too large and overwhelm the electronics. I assume you mean things are OK if you put physical distance between the two items. If I misunderstood your question, then I don't know what else it could be. I did not recommend the 3098 model, and my father (for whom I gave it as a gift) hated it for making him sequence through several layers of menu to find what he wanted. So I replaced this model with an older one, and he loves that one.

I have taken my phone out to the greenhouse which is at least 120 feet from the base. I do not know what the range from my cell phone to the base would be. When I am home the cell phone is in the house with me. I do know that it will ring when my cell is in the kitchen and the base is in my bedroom, which is opposite ends of the house. Hope this helps.

I would say about 75 feet. I bring my cordless handset to my backyard and have perfect clarity.

It works well. You can encounter issues when you have your cell phone connected via Bluetooth if your phone is more than about 30 feet from the base unit. For us that is pretty good because we have a floor and multiple walls in between. Without obstruction you could easily get more than 50-60 feet. If your cell phone is close to the base, then it sounds just like a normal phone call over a speaker phone. Generally it is the quality of the cell phone that is more the issue. We live were we are lucky to get more than one bar. Generally the speaker mode of the handset is better than the cell phone in non speaker phone mode much less speakerphone mode. So you shouldn't find issue with speaker phone. I have conducted several conference calls using speakerphone mode over both landline and cellphones using speakerphone mode of the handset.

The unifi inside starts dropping at about 35-50' when it hits walls and various normal interior house surroundings. My house is 120' long I set one in center and one on each end to get the phones that are the hardest to get to work properly. The issue is mostly with the device in use rather than the Unifi do not expect 300' to be a solution as most devices will never be able to talk back at that range. But at there price it was a steal to set up a real 1st class WiFi system.

I hate carring my phone around because of the kids, i live in a town house and i usually leave my phone in the kitchen while i go upstairs in the bedroom and down to the basement to do laundry,it always tell you the number calling and i always answer and receives clearly for more than 8hrs. Range of 20-30 feet.

10-20 feet. The range is pretty good on this device. Just don't have a wall in between your phone/device and these speakers because the frequency may cut here and there. Besides that, it has great sound quality and it can get pretty loud.

Keep in mind that you can only pair a Bluetooth headset with the base station. Your range limit will be approximately 33 feet of the base station. You should be able to use any current Bluetooth headset. There is one thing I am not absolutely sure about. Bluetooth has evolved to a higher operating system since this set was manufactured. While I believe that a current Bluetooth headsest is backwards compatible from Bluetooth 2.0, etc., I am not absolutely sure of that. Check with the manufacturer of your Bluetooth headset to make sure it is backwards compatible. You can pair two cell phones to this unit. However, in reference to pairing cell phones with the base station, I have experienced quite a number of situations where I get a call from someone, and I can hear the caller, but the caller can't hear me.

Answer to your question is Yes. However, you will be very disappointed with the communicating range of these units.

I do not know personally - have not done a range test. Samsung's specs claim 150 meters (about 300 feet). Actual distance capability would of course vary, depending upon other factors such as interference, obstacles in the propagation path, etc. sorry i don't have a better answer.

I don't think that will be a problem for you at all. We have a smaller house but live on several acres and I have been probably 20-30 yards away and still had reception. Just watch the battery. Keep it plugged in unless you need to walk off

Sound is good depending on the distance from the base. Handset is on the lighter side.
