I've always had good luck with my GE phones. I saw this one with the 5.4 GHz and thought it was a really good deal for the money. Ummm...not so much. It sounds horrible! Everyone I talk to says I sound like I'm either sick or that there is a horrible echo, I sound too far away, etc. It also gets a lot of interference, which is something my GE 2.4 didn't have trouble with. Looks like it's back to the 2.4 for me.

I bought this phone because Consumer Reports rated it "excellent" for voice quality. Not! There was a lot of echo and a tinny quality, which changing channels only helped somewhat. I didn't have a problem with distance from the base, but I may have returned it too quickly to discover that.

I've had this phone for 2 weeks and it gets poor reception, crackles all the time and doesn't have very good range. People say they can't hear me on the other end either. I bought it so it didn't interfere w/ my wireless connection, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Honestly, I just don't like this phone.

This phone has horrible sound quality. The range is even worse.

Not much to say but if you get it, you'll have an expensive paper weight.

Have some older GE phones that work great but this is an inferior product.
Sound is poor both sending and receiving----

Would have given zero stars on this one.

October 2006 I purchased two of these phones based upon the recommendation from Consumer Reports. Right next to the base they are fine, however, walk outside or into the garage you can hear static and the person on the line says "you are cutting out".

They recently both stopped working within a week of each other. The battery is supposed to last for three years. It's been seven months!

This phone has terrible audio qualities, both in terms of being able to hear who you are talking to, and also their ability to hear you. The sounds in the phone are very muffled, and the strength of the signal fades in and out. Automatic call-back feature is difficult to program, as with many of the other features. Spent way too much on this phone...and I think Consumer Reports actually gives it a good rating. Don't be fooled, this phone is terrible.

I am very disappointed with this phone. Whoever I call tells me I sound "muffled" and it tends to have the "cell phone" characteristic of a slight delay when I speak. Meaning, I hear my voice and then it takes a second to transmit. This phone is terrible. Don't waste your money.

Poor quality. Do not buy it.

After talking for several minutes on second phone, must move closer to the base unit because my voice fades.
