This review is from: GE Cordless 2.4 GHz 27851GE1 Cordless Phone with Call Waiting Caller ID and Digital Answering System - White (Office Product)

I love this phone! Let me mention the main reasons why I love this phone~ first, you can turn the ringer off (a must with an infant or the phone rings the second baby falls asleep). Second, you can still use the page feature and find the phone when the ringer is off (a must with a baby who toddles off with the phone or stuffs it in the couch cushions)! The last feature that makes me love this phone is that you can delete a single message at a time from the answering machine (a must with a husband who doesn't listen to his messages).

I know these sound like simple features but not all phones offer these! They offer a lot of other bells and whistles but forget the basics.

The caller ID works great, the reception is super, doesn't interfere with my cell phone or DSL, incoming messages record and playback clearly.

The one problem I recently ran into was a problem where the phone would beep and indicate a low battery. I'd set it back in the base to charge but no matter how long it was there, the phone would beep during use and indicate a low battery~ and often died in the middle of calls.

I replaced the battery but still had the same problem. An email to customer service told me that the phone needed to be reset. Pull out the battery and unplug the phone for 5 minutes and it's as good as new!
Wish I'd emailed them before I paid for the new battery! :)

Super duper priced at $19.99 too!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Turn off!, March 14, 2007

This unit was very easy to set up, but I had a big problem with it. If the answering machine was left on (which I always do), EVERY time I set the handset back in to the base, the system reset itself. I'd lose my outgoing message and password. If I turned the unit off, I had no problem - but the purpose of an answering machine is to have it on! I was very disappointed, especially because my other phone - and previous answering system - were GE, and they were great.

This phone works great for the first month then it goes down hill from there. Now it you have to keep dialing over and over again because it shows you dialed the number correctly but it doesn't process it. Then you have all the interference noise and static!!!
