Query: Not working after 5 months

I purchased the Uniden DCT6485-2 from Amazon on Apr 1, 2004 (should have noticed the date) since I needed a phone system with 2 handsets. I was impressed by the features, compact size and the reasonable price of this item. The performance of this phone is just fair because from time to time, some calls would have echoes like you're talking in a tunnel, or you would hear yourself talking like a time delay. Today this phone is not working anymore after a Verizon cable outage. I am now using my old Panasonic with one handset. I was always pretty lucky when it comes to telephones, I've used cordless Toshiba, Sony and Panasonic which none of them have ever quit working on me, they always lasted until I needed a new style or new technology. I am now shopping for a new Panasonic phone with multiple handsets. I would not recommend any Uniden telephones to anyone judging from the durability of my first experience with them.
