This is 2.4 GHZ ANALOG. It is NOT a DIGITAL! Digital is sharper and more secure than Analog. Years ago they started selling DIGITAL and I have no idea why so many are sneaking in poorer quality Analog phones without clearly stating so. Next time you go to best buy, etc take a look. If the phone does not say 900 mhz or 2.4 Ghz DIGITAL then it is analog. Retailer mix them all together and many associates don't even realize. I would recommend a 900 Mhz DIGITAL over 2.4 Ghz Analog. Another thing to notice is that many phone will say 2.4 Ghz with Digital Answering machine. This usually means that the answering machine is digital but the phone is not. It has to say 2.4 GHz digital phone. The companies are good at sneakingly getting us to buy cheap crap at inflated prices. This 2.4 Ghz analog phone should be less. They are hoping that consumers assume it is digital.

Poor quality/Caller ID area scratches and becomes unreadable/Phone acts up/

Bought this phone for the price vs features. People complain the voice is weak on the receiving end. The conversation gets disrupted if the 2nd line rings while talking on the first line and vice-versa. This happens even with the ringer turned off. There is a static clicking sound every time the lighted handset lights. Tried two different brands of headsets and both distort with this phone. The line 1 and 2 indicator is dreadfully small and difficult to read. The complaints others have with the dialing tones can be attributed to the fact that you can pre-dial the numbers before accessing a phone line. When operated in this manner, you typically dial the number, pick a phone line and put the thing up to your ear. This is when the dialing tone volume becomes VERY apparent. Good luck trying to speak with a human at GE. The customer service number is nothing but a useless voicemail loop.

I was looking for a 2-line 2.4 GHz cordless phone with caller ID, call waiting, and a hold feature, but isn't too expensive. This phone is exactly what I wanted. It works everywhere inside my house, the clarity is good, and it pretty much has all the bells and whistles that I like. For instance, there's a ringer mute switch on the handset, which is where it should be. My only complaint would be that the line 1/2 indicator on the handset is too small. However, it does allow you to set a distinctive ring for each line, so that helps.

Another reviewer complained about the dial tones being too loud. I think that's an odd complaint, because it's not possible to put the phone next to your ear while dialing, so how can it be too loud? I also haven't had any complaints about not being heard.

Transmitted voice quality is very muffled, sibilants will be almost entirely missing (s's, z's, sh's, zh's, etc.) Received sound is okay, the handset's other features and styling are fine, but if you need to be easily understandable to your callers, don't even think about this unit.

I've had great luck with this phone, good battery life and reception, small and light.

GREAT PHONE FOR THE MONEY! Quality of sound and phone itself are A1!!

good clarity, weak distance, SOUND WHEN YOU PRESS NUMBERS TOO LOUD. Too bad, becaus it would have been a good phone for the money.

I've burned through 4 or 5 other "better", more expensive, two-line cordless phones over the past 8 or 10 years and this has proven to be the best value. Sound quality, features and range. No, I don't walk around the neighborhood with it (that's what cell phones are for) but my house does have a ton of smoked glass, concrete and steel walls. Goofy brand name (does GE actually make anything small and consumer-like themselves?) and it sure doesn't look Scandinavian but it sure performs just great.

We have this phone in our small business office, and it is without question the worst phone I have had the displeasure of using. I recognize that there are a number of sources of interference on the fifth floor of our office building, but the static is aweful. Even sitting less than two feet from the receiver there is static. Outgoing sound, as mentioned by other reviewers, is also poor. We are going to switch back to our (very) old phone because this unit is truly unbearable. It is mind-boggling that the folks at GE have actually put this device in the hands of real customers.

I bought this phone and returned it within 14 days. The range of the handset is VERY limited. The handset started loosing its signal 20 feet from base! Made any type of mobility with the handset useless unless are in the same room as the base.
