My husband and I paid 70$ for this phone and it is the worst investment we have ever had! Even though it has several channels to change from, there is still severe crackling and you can not hear the caller very well. I am ready to throw the darn thing out the window, but because it's my only phone, I have to live with it until we get a new one. The first month with it was ok then it started in with the static and crackling. I would never recommend this phone!

Phone works well. 3 kids in house so it gets abused but has held up well. Answering machine is easy for wife to use. Volume buttons are easy to change accidentaly, wish these were in a different location. The antenna flashes when the phone rings, great when watching tv or listening to cd's. I would buy this phone again.

This is the worst cordless/speaker phone that I have ever owned. It was tough getting the handset to sit just right in the cradle so that the handset would charge. Battery life was the pits. Bought another battery thinking that would make a difference. It didn't and was just a further waste of cash. The unit is now just a paperweight on my desk. If you just need a speaker phone, it will work fine but I bet you could find something better for less.

I've had this phone about a year, and it has always worked flawlessly for me.

Update 2008: It stopped working well about a month after I originally posted this review. It still works, but has lots of little problems, and issues. If I could, I'd now downgrade it to a 1 1/2 star - nice features, but not very reliable.

I bought this phone about 17 months ago for my work-at-home office..I wish I could plug my headset into the base unit as I sometimes forget to put handset back on re-charger cradle..and I am then forced to use speaker on conf calls.
The phone worked well for the first 15 months and only lately...
(Now that the warranty is up) has it been randomly dieing durng a call.
The base unit simply loses power and I must pull out and then re-connect the power at the back of the phone to restore operation...By then I've lost other party..
I will not buy a GE phone again...

I have purchased a lot of high end electronics, phones, etc. This may be the worst purchase ever. After about 6 months..the LCD screen went bad, sound on the other end muted, and reception horrible. I literally after 6 months threw the phone away and replaced with Vtech and Motorola. Save your money and go with one of the other brands.

I bought this phone the other day as a replacement to a $9 corded phone that died. When I hooked it up, the speaker phone and handset got dialtone no problem. I then called the phone from my cell phone and it didn't ring. All the other phones in the house rang, but this one didn't. I then moved it to another jack, same thing. I then called again and it rang. I called again, no ring. I called about 20 times and about 1/3 of the time it rang, 1/3 of the time it rang only once, and 1/3 of the time it didn't ring at all. I brought the phone back to the place I bought it to get a new one and had the exact same problems. After messing with this phone for about 3 hours, I finally bought a $19 900Mhz phone at the local *Mart that works fine.

This phone looks beautiful but it is not worth your money. It has a lot of static and at times will not work at all. Do not buy this product or one that resembles it. I have never been more disappointed with a phone.
