Very Poor - Stay away- GE support are clueless! - I put one star because it wouldn't let me put zero! [Posted on 2008-01-15]
I purchased this unit plus two additional phones through Amazon. The phone is a nice weight and size but lacks much of the basic functionality of the older phones I was replacing. Each unit is independent of each other so you are unable to send the details of one phones, phone book to another phone, very annoying!

In the end I returned the phones to Amazon as one unit would never stay paired with the base unit. Before returning the unit I called Thomson (GE) and spoke to their technical support and they were both rude and clueless.

In summary I will never buy anything from GE again. I accept that technology fails from time to time and that's what tech support is for but GE's support is as good as useless and it too much hassle to buy a GE product if they're not going to support it.

Sound Quality is not good [Posted on 2008-01-18]
I keep hoping the sound quality will get better. It doesnt. Great looking, slim, light, small footprint. Sound is not so great. It sounds as if you took a regular cordless and went too far away even when you are standing close to the base.

There is nothing good about this phone, other than it is "cute" [Posted on 2008-01-23]
I purchased this phone mainly because it was just so cute. What a nightmare it turned out to be!! First problem, You could not bring up the volume of the ringer and it it very very low. Second, EVERYONE I called could not understand a word I was saying nor could I hear anything but garbled voiced on the other end. I thought I might have gotten a lemon, so I returned it for another. Same problem with that one also. I would give this a -star if I could.

It's ok [Posted on 2008-03-03]
I've never had a cordless phone/answering system before. So, I like that I can listen to my calls from the handset and not have to stand at the answering machine.

I don't love the phone. That's sort of a plus, becuase I always know where to find it--in the cradle.

All in all, I am disappointed in the handset, and will not be buying more handsets as I planned to when I bought this expandable system.

Pros: The batteries last nicely between charges. You can assign different rings to different callers. You can use handset to operate answering system. You can buy more handsets. Very, very cute (mine is red). Answering machine is clearly audible. Small footprint. While on table top, you can see how many messages from across the room, because of it's vertical design. Works well throughout my (larger) home.

Cons: The phone book is hard to navigate, you can't prop it on your shoulder (people won't hear you, and it's so small it'll fall) People complain they can't hear you.

Best Cordless I've ever owned ! [Posted on 2008-04-01]
I've tried cordless phones before. They either did'nt cut it in my 4 story home or my teenagers would drop them and of course they would break after bouncing on the carpet once. The GE 6.0 performs admirably ! It stands up to abuse, sounds as clear..well more clear than a land line, and I got a surprise the other day when I was walking my dog and had forgotten to take the handset out of my pocket. My daughter called from Nevada and the phone rang in my pocket while I was 2 blocks away from my house ! When I answered, the sound was perfect. No different than if I had been standing in the living room. WOW ! Plus the choice in ring tones is very fun ! The way the phone is set up, it has all the features yet is easy to understand if you are tech impaired like I am.
