Uniden XDECT 8355 Cordless Phone 5 Handset Bluetooth Mobile Link PowerBack | Wty
Uniden XDECT 8355
Key Benefits
- 5-handset complete system — all five handsets and charging cradles are included — no additional purchases needed to cover multiple rooms in the home or small office
- Digital answering machine — 14 minutes of digital recording handles extended voice messages reliably, with remote access playback from any handset
- Bluetooth mobile integration — pair a smartphone via Bluetooth to make and receive mobile calls through any XDECT 8355 handset — no need to carry the mobile around the house
- Power failure backup — the base unit maintains basic phone functionality during power outages — important for home safety and emergency calls
- DECT digital technology — digitally encrypted calls eliminate the eavesdropping risk of analogue cordless phones, with clearer audio and longer range than older DECT systems
- NBN compatible — connects directly to the NBN phone adapter (ATA) for households and offices that have moved from the copper network
Performance in Use
The Uniden XDECT 8355 is a well-specified five-handset cordless system that covers the practical requirements of a modern connected household or small office: clear digital audio across all five handsets, a functioning answering machine, Bluetooth mobile integration, and the reassurance of power failure backup. Having five handsets means every floor and every room can have a phone without cable runs.
The Bluetooth mobile pairing feature stands out for usability. Incoming mobile calls ring on all handsets simultaneously, and outgoing mobile calls can be dialled from the handset without locating the smartphone. For households that have reduced or eliminated their landline, the XDECT 8355 effectively bridges fixed-line and mobile calling in a single system.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can extra handsets be added beyond the 5 included?

Does it work with NBN?
Yes — the XDECT 8355 connects to the phone port on the NBN modem/router or ATA adapter just as it would on a standard PSTN socket.
How does the Bluetooth feature work?
Pair your smartphone to the base unit via Bluetooth. Incoming mobile calls then ring on the XDECT handsets, and you can answer/make mobile calls from any handset. The mobile stays in a convenient location while you use the cordless handsets.
Does the answering machine work during power failure?
The power failure backup mode allows basic incoming and outgoing calls but does not support answering machine function during an outage. Answering machine requires mains power.
