Uniden Corded Phone FP1200
I purchased this phone because my cordless phone batteries do not last long, when I need to make phone calls that are over 30mins long. This Uniden phone is ideal for making calls, with no call time limit, as it does not rely on battery life. It has a speaker button, so you can use the phone hands free & other people with you can also hear & speak. It has a phonebook feature, last call feature & many more features that are very useful to the user. This is a cheap phone that has more features than you would expect from a phone of this price. I love this phone & use it for all calls that are more than 30 minutes long. With my wireless phones, I kept having to change to another wireless phone & recharge the last phone used, what a nightmare & not professional when talking to business's that I needed to chat with. With the Uniden Corded Phone, I do not have any problems when using it.

Uniden caller ID corded phone
This phone has clear sound and an extra bonus with caller ID. It would've been so much better had it been cordless. There was little variety of phones to choose from with the same features.

KEYPAD NOT WORKING
Funnily enough I received an automated email requesting a review of this product in the very week the phone keypad stopped working. This handset is for business use and is not fit for purpose. The buttons start trying to dial themselves during calls and the keypad won't work most of the time. There is no evidence of sticky buttons etc. We will have to return to store and source a new phone.

At a glance
The Uniden FP1200 is a straightforward corded phone for users who want dependable calling without worrying about charging a handset. It suits homes, kitchens and desks where a fixed phone is preferred, with useful extras like caller ID, speakerphone and large buttons. Its main limitation is that it lacks cordless mobility and multi-handset flexibility offered by more advanced phone systems.

Things to consider
This model is best for fixed-position calling, but it does not provide the mobility, multi-room convenience or handset expansion options of cordless phone systems.
Senior user friendliness
8/10 - Large buttons, caller ID and a backlit display make it easier to use for many older users.
Home office suitability
8/10 - A strong fit for fixed desk use thanks to speakerphone, caller ID and reliable corded operation.
Battery reliability score
10/10 - The corded handset does not rely on a rechargeable handset battery for normal use.
Range vs category average
Not applicable - Corded phone designed for fixed-position use rather than wireless roaming range.
Multi-handset expansion fit
Low - Best suited to users wanting a single fixed phone rather than a scalable multi-handset setup.
Key benefits
- Corded design: Delivers dependable fixed-location calling without needing handset charging.
- Backlit Ice Blue LCD display: Makes screen information easier to read in varied lighting conditions.
- Large buttons: Improves dialling ease for users who prefer clearer, more accessible key spacing.
- Caller ID support: Helps you identify incoming calls before answering.
- Speakerphone function: Lets you talk hands-free during calls at a desk or bench.
- 70-entry phonebook: Stores frequent contacts for quicker everyday calling.
- Polyphonic ringtones: Gives you a choice of ring sounds to better suit your environment.
- Wall-mountable design: Saves bench or desk space in compact areas.
Q: Does blackout calling work on NBN phone services with this phone
A: No. The FP1200 can keep working during a blackout only on a traditional analogue landline. If your home phone runs through NBN or another internet service, any powered modem or network box can stop calls when mains power is out.
Q: Do I need to charge the handset or replace batteries
A: No. The FP1200 uses a fixed corded handset, so there is no handset battery to charge or replace during normal use. It suits a desk or kitchen spot, but it does not give the room-to-room mobility of a cordless phone.
Q: Can I take hands-free calls on the Uniden FP1200
A: Yes. The Uniden FP1200 has a speakerphone function for hands-free conversations at a desk, counter or kitchen bench. It is useful when more than one person needs to hear the call, but privacy will be lower than using the handset.
Q: How many contacts can the phonebook hold on FP1200
A: The FP1200 phonebook stores 70 entries, which is enough for common household or small office contacts. If you need separate handsets with their own contact lists, this corded model is better suited to one fixed calling point.
Q: Can this corded phone be wall mounted in a hallway
A: Yes. The FP1200 can be wall mounted, which helps when bench space is limited in a hallway, kitchen or reception area. It is still a fixed-location phone, so the handset stays tethered to the base rather than moving around the home.
Q: Is the screen easy to read for everyday caller ID
A: Yes. The FP1200 has a backlit Ice Blue LCD display and large buttons, which makes day-to-day dialling and caller ID easier to see. It is still a basic corded phone, so the display is aimed at essential call information rather than advanced menus.
