Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

With 2.4 GHz digital spread spectrum technology, this GE cordless automatically selects the clearest channel, has extended range, and superior conversation security. Boasting a full-performance speakerphone with intercom and dual keypad, the phone offers hands-free convenience. You can dial from memory or from the base keypad without picking up the handset. Turning on the handset then automatically transfers the call from the base. The phone's intercom permits convenient two-way conversations between the two included handsets, or between the handsets and base -- all without using the phone line.

Caller ID with call waiting and a 99 name-and-number memory let you see the name and number of who's calling, even if you're on the phone with another caller. The phone comes bundled with one accessory handset, making it simple to put phones in multiple rooms. No phone jack is required for the second handset. 10-number memory speed dials frequently used numbers for quick calling, and the phone is hearing aid compatible. It is backed by a one-year limited warranty.

2.0 out of 5 stars great features - poor performance, September 12, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: GE 21011GE3 2.4 GHz DSS Cordless Speakerphone with Dual Handsets and Caller ID (Silver) (Office Product)

On the good side: this phone has an amazing array of features at a reasonable price.
On the bad side: the range is TERRIBLE. If I go to the next room, less than 15 ft away with no source of interference, I start hearing annoying clicking sounds. Sometimes this even happens when I'm right next to the phone. If I go outside, still only 20 or 30 ft away, the phone stops working completely. Now, I happen to have aluminum siding, which the manual warns about, but, EVERY other cordless I have owned worked just fine outside for 300 - 500 ft, at least several houses away.
Another minor annoyance: For some bizarre reason, reviewing the caller ID memory does NOT show the calls in the order that they were received. I have to press the review button maybe twenty times to see who the last caller was. I dunno. maybe I'm doing something wrong.
Bottom line: Avoid this phone. I do not recommend it.

2.0 out of 5 stars FAIR AT BEST, October 17, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: GE 21011GE3 2.4 GHz DSS Cordless Speakerphone with Dual Handsets and Caller ID (Silver) (Office Product)

1. CALLER I.D.: The first reviewer was correct! The caller I.D. is messed up! It does NOT show you the calls in order! It'll tell you ie. 3 new calls, but if they've called you in the past, you have to scroll thru all the phone numbers and look at dates & times that people called. THIS IS HORRIBLE! What takes 2 seconds on most phones takes you several minutes to do with this phone. I want to know who the new calls are right NOW, not in 10 minutes after tremendous eye stress trying to scroll thru 50 numbers to see who was a new caller.

2. MEMORY: There's only room for 50 numbers in memory, not 99 as I read (I believe on Amazon).

3. SOUND: The speakerphone is outstanding, one of the best I've heard yet! In addition, people said they can hear me very well. Lastly, the handset is also good quality.

SUMMARY! While the speakerphone was great, I did return this phone. I simply cannot live with the stupidity of the way this caller I.D. works! Thank you!

2.0 out of 5 stars Terrible reception, January 17, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: GE 21011GE3 2.4 GHz DSS Cordless Speakerphone with Dual Handsets and Caller ID (Silver) (Office Product)

I bought this model on sale at a local store.... I liked the features, but the reception (sound quality) was terrible, a lot of static.
It is way worse than in a 900MHz phone that I have, the type one can now buy for $9.99.
Needless to say I returned the phone and now I am looking for a better one.
