5.0 out of 5 stars The best phone I've purchased. This one's a keeper., May 22, 2002

This review is from: GE 27939GE3 2.4 GHz Cordless Speakerphone with Digital Messaging System and Caller ID (Office Product)

Over the past month I've bought about 10 2.4GHz phones with built in answering machines and call ID. I got 2 two AT&T phones, both of which were defective, 2 Simmons phones that didn't get any reception, 1 Panasonic that felt flimsy, and a bunch of cheep-o's from my local store's. The cheap no-name ones performed as well as the 100+ dollar ones. But since I'm a finicky little ..., I kept looking some more.

I've used GE phones in the office where I work. Those phones ruled all of the ones I tried and it was only a 900 MHz. So I came to Amazon and stumbled upon this one. After using it, I fell in love with it. This is the best phone I've tried. The only one that was even good by my standards. The more I use it the more I love it.

Features: great reception, adequate volume, excellent call-ID, call-ID "call back" feature (this is where you select a name and/or number in the call-ID history and press call back and it dials the # for you), Call waiting (which I haven't used), excellent digital answering machine, answering machine remote capabilities from handset, intercom, conference calling.

Nifty things I've seen it do: After accidentally unplugging it, the answering machine reset it's own clock when someone called me. I assume it did it with the call-ID.

After trying 10 phones in a month I think I'm qualified to make a reccomendation or two. This phone/answerer/call-ID rules all.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very happy, but..., November 5, 2002

This review is from: GE 27939GE3 2.4 GHz Cordless Speakerphone with Digital Messaging System and Caller ID (Office Product)

We bought this phone a few weeks ago, and I wanted to try it out a bit before writing a review. I should mention that the major reason we bought it was because Consumer Reports called it the best value in 2.4Ghz phones. I'm quite pleased with every aspect of the phone, especially the answering system, the "look and feel," and the quality of the features (ex. handset volume is adjustable to 5 levels, crystal clear sound on answering system greeting and messages, caller ID is advanced while also being simple to use). Of course, the most important issue with a cordless phone is reception, and on this, the GE phone comes up a bit short. It's true that if you stay near the base, you get great sound. But if you wander a bit, you begin to hear the occasional click and hiss. One more thing, the 2.4 GHz is almost *too* strong. It sometimes picks up conversations coming from other cordless phones in the area. We live in a large apt. building, so it happens more than it would if you're living in a single family. A quick channel change usually clears up that problem, but it's still annoying when it happens. Despite these minor issues, the phone is a keeper.

3.0 out of 5 stars great phone if you don't stray from the base, October 8, 2002

This review is from: GE 27939GE3 2.4 GHz Cordless Speakerphone with Digital Messaging System and Caller ID (Office Product)

this is a cool phone, no bulky antenna, no long awkward antenna, speaker phone, dual keypad, answering machine, which all work quite well, but it seems the shortness of the antenna has made the reception just as lacking....honestly, i can't walk more than one room away before the fuzziness kicks in. i thought it was just me until i read all these reviews. i like the design, it's cuter than other phones, i really don't like antennas but it seems ge has yet to master the short antenna trick....so until they master this, keep your 900 mhz which will work far better than this 2.4 ghz phone.
