Uniden cordless phone - model DSS7855

I get the same message on my base unit ''welcome.. please wait''. The two handsets work fine but they of course rely on the base unit to work. They told me that it was probably associated with a power surge (or which I did have an outage) and would cost $50 to initially look at it and then another $85 to replace the base unit. It's unusual that everything else in the house (including items on the same powerboard) have no problems. Seems like this phone goes bad at the drop of a hat.

When I pick up handsets (apart from Base) I cannot hear caller. I press un mute etc. When I pick up handsets (apart from Base) I cannot hear caller. I press un mute etc.
