I guess for $15.00, you should not expect too much. The phone's display is only readable at the max setting. The ringer is annoying. The main problem with the phone is that all the cables are hard wired. The curly handset cord is extremely short and cannot be replaced. The cord to plug into the jack is about 15' too long for wall mounting. Again this cord is hardwired so you have to wind it up under the phone. You may want to spring for a $20 phone instead of this one.

My wife bought one of these. The cord was only a few feet long and can't be replaced. It is hard-wired into the phone with no connector. The cord is so short it's so inconvenient you won't want to use the phone at all.

DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!!!

I purchased this phone because of the price and as it was going in my garage. Low and behold I found that I could not put an extended cord on it from the handset as it did not have a modular plug. Also, the box says the phone has call Waiting Caller ID. This is not true. When on the phone and another call comes in, it does not display the number/name. Overall the phone works and is nice and clear/loud. Also, the Amazon description notes that the phone has a back-lit LCD. This is not true. There are no lighted screens or keypads on this phone. I called GE support and got the biggest run around ever. DON'T BUY GE.....The support is horrible.

I am happy with this phone. I love the caller ID feature in plain sight when the phone rings. Phone works well, ringer is great, and when you talk on it, it is very clear. One thing to note, the cord is NOT interchangeable. It is an older type connection without the clip to change the cord. It is stylish and hangs well on the wall.

At first, I thought this phone was a great bargain - for about two weeks. Then it stopped working. I checked the phoneline, cord, and everything else, and the verdict was that it was the phone. So..be careful!

Great price, great phone. Works fine. Easy to program and use.

I am happy with this phone. I purchased it because we needed a phone next to the toilet in our master bath. It serves it's purpose very well and looks nice on the wall. It is not a phone that is going to get much use in our home. Two downfalls of this phone are that it's screen does not light up so sometimes it is difficult to see who is calling. Secondly, it does not have call waiting caller id so you cannot tell who is calling you when you are on the phone. It really depends on how you are planning to use this phone. For our needs, it is fine.
