1.0 out of 5 stars Do not buy this phone., August 1, 2006

Both the handset cord and the line cord are permanently connected to the telephone. You cannot replace either cord. The line cord is only six feet long...if your jack is too far away, you're out of luck. If either cord becomes damaged...you're out of luck, the phone becomes worthless. Note that Amazon suggests a longer handset cord as an accessory, which you cannot use. There's no excuse for building the phone this way; it is very unusual.

1.0 out of 5 stars The worst consumer product I have ever bought, November 14, 2007

This is a classic example of General Electric's vaunted six sigma philosophy. It is clearly a six sigma product...six sigmas in bad design:

-It has 10 number memory dialing, but you can only enter the number, not the name that goes with it. You want to call your good friend Taylor? Good luck which memory location you stored the number in.

-A mentioned by others, the cord situation is a disaster.

-I bought this in Argentina, where I am currently living, but the caller ID appears to have been set up to only work in the U.S.

-It practically falls out of the cradle if you so much as look at it.

-The battery case does not stay open.

-No clue in the instructions how to set the date and clock.

In my entire life I cannot recall a single consumer product that I felt was more of a waste of money than this. When I buy from GE from now on, I'll stick to light bulbs.

I don't how well it works, but I DO know that everything is HARD CORDED as in you can't replace the cords. You can't make the line connecting the jack longer without adding a connector (which never works) and you can't modify the base to handset cord, either. GE made a phone that you buy and have to use within 6 feet or so of your jack. If you're using it as a wall phone, you'd have about 18 inches of mobility.
