Total JUNK!! [Posted on 2007-09-27]
I bought this phone before reading the reviews and that will never happen again! I was just out shopping and wanted to replace the cordless phone I already had since it didn't have an answering machine.I can't believe I spent almost $100 on this junky phone!I hooked and chared it up and pressed the talk button and could already hear static just with the dial tone! I don't know if this has anything to do with the fact that I have dsl or what but whatever the reason it is totally unacceptable for such an expensive phone.After I heard the staticy dial tone I tried calling from my cell phone to test the answering machine.It was so staticy I couldn't understand a word! At least with the less expensive Uniden I had it was only staticy when I would run the microwave.So I boxed this ge phone back up,re-hooked up my old uniden(It is sad that a phone that cost 1/2 as much and is 2 years older than this GE works better!) and took it back.Please don't waste your money on this phone,you will not be able to hear on it.
Continuous Static [Posted on 2008-01-06]
Until I read these reviews I thought the constant static and occasional dropped sound might be due to a problem with the unit I purchased or perhaps due to some electronics in my office. It has gotten so bad that I only use this phone long enough to walk to my older (but much clearer) Panasonic. If you buy this GE, hold on to your receipt.
Bad Phone - Don't Buy [Posted on 2008-01-30]
I purchased this phone less then 7 days ago. It is humming so bad I can't hear what people are saying on the other end of the phone. I didn't keep the box.
Works Ok. Couple of Issues. [Posted on 2008-02-13]
I don't have a problem hearing conversations with this phone, which is the most common complaint. Nor do I get humming or a bad connection. Seems ok on that stuff, and I like some of the features, like the "Do Not Disturb."
The two issues I have (not counting the instructions, which are a ridiculously hard to read fold-out pamphlet) are:
1. lack of a battery back-up means you have to reset it and re-record your messages if the power goes out or if you have to unplug it for any reason.
2) the phone (and all its satellites) light up periodically for no reason. Sometimes they light completely up, sometimes the blue lights just flicker a little, but it happens all the time. Not sure why -- maybe it's detecting activity, maybe it's just random; it's not mentioned in the "manual." But a paranoid person would have issues with a phone that seems to be doing something on its own all the time. I had a client in the room who was disturbed by it, and and repeatedly asked why my phone was lighting up while we were talking. And frankly, it's a little unnerving to see it occasionally flickering away to itself when the room is otherwise dark.
If there's an explanation for this I'd love to hear it.
*** Do Not Buy This Phone *** [Posted on 2008-06-26]
GE is a strange entity they make some really good stuff (medical) and they make complete garbage. Unfortunately their DECT 6.0 phones fall into the latter category.
The answering machine message sounds as though my wife is stood in the subway at rush hour. The quality of the sound on handsets is horrible. Also the outgoing sound quality is bad. If I'm in the car on my cell we struggle to understand each other.
We are now trying out luck with some Unidens.
