It's fine unless you want to hear! [Posted on 2008-02-14]
We've owned, or should I say, suffered with this phone for more than a year. The sound quality is poor, and the volume insufficient. I do not have a hearing impairment, but I constantly have to ask people on the other end to repeat themselves. Even the top range of the volume control leaves me frustrated, trying to interpret a muffled-sounding voice. Disappointing purchase.
Worst Sound Quality on Any Phone I have Ever Owned [Posted on 2008-03-22]
We purchased this phone explicitly because we wanted a system that would not interfere with our computer wireless system. Well, I have to admit that feature works fine. On the other hand, and certainly more important for any phone, the sound quality is simply horrible. Callers have to repeat what they have said because the audio is so clipped and muddled. The problem is not our wiring - other cordless phones work just fine. Save your money - this system is not worth it.
save your money [Posted on 2008-04-01]
worst audio i have ever experienced on a cordless phone. i could barely hear the other caller with the volume up to its highest level. when i could hear anything at all, it was so garbled i had no idea what they were saying. the ringer volume is so low if you are not in the same room as the phone, you miss the call. the handset is another problem. because the volume is so low, i was constantly moving the unit to see if i could hear better and wasn't sure if the earpiece was lined up correctly to my ear. the shape of the phone does not make it easy to know if you are holding it in the correct position. this piece of junk is going back to the store tomorrow.

Phone Review
What a piece of junk! I had purchased this in a hurry because my AT&T 2.4G phone got dropped for the last time and I could not find another one.
I give the GE phone 1 point for decent coverage; that's where it's goodness ends. I was getting constant complaints about my voice intermittently sounding warbly and/or chipmunky and the phone cutting in/out; this was hell for one family member who lives with a brain injury sustained from a stroke. I also couldn't believe that at $90, the phone directory had to be manually entered into each phone. Not to mention that every time I ended a call, expecting to immediately dial my next call, I'd first have to play button roulette to clear the current message on the display. Man, what an absolute piece of garbage! Ironically, my last experiment with newer cordless technology was when I tried to update to 5.8G a couple of years ago. That too was a disappointing experience.
I was preparing to return the GE phones not knowing what I was going to replace it with; it's so tough finding phones with good reviews on the web. As luck would have it, a freshly delivered Best Buy flyer in my mailbox had an AT&T 2.4G triple handset phone package (model E2903B)on sale for $50. I can't believe it:
-I have great coverage and reception
-no interference from my wireless internet connection
-no interference around the microwaves
-the 3 handsets automatically update each other's directories
GE has always chosen garbage cordless phones and this one was no exception. I say "chosen" because consumer electronics are always OEM'd overseas and then companies like GE, AT&T, Uniden, etc align themselves with an OEM and put their name on the product.
Anyhow, don't waste your time on this product. I'm going to look for the AT&T E2903B and write a glowing review which will hopefully save all you good folks out there time and money.
