5.0 out of 5 stars GE 28821FE3 Feedback, March 28, 2009

This GE Cordless Phone seemed just what I wanted. I checked the look and feel at a couple stores vs other phones. The specs sounded just right and though I only needed 2 handsets, the one with 3 from Outlet on Amazon seemed to be a great deal and gave me an extra handset and cradle for a spare. The 2 poor reviews gave me great concern, but I finally decided to buy it. I am glad I did. The phone is great, and everything it was advertised to be. No complaints, very clear and noise free, and I love the speakerphone feature in the handsets. Kent GE 28821FE3 DECT 6.0 Cordless Phone with Answering System and Caller ID

Around the 2 year mark we always end up tossing our cordless multiple handset systems because of battery life... add 3 young kids that throw them in the sink, splash them with water and drop them repeatedly; you get my drift. The displays started to go out, but most importantly like all systems the battery life diminishes after the first year and at a point becomes unbearable. Yes you can replace the batteries, but for the amount of a new set it is just wiser to replace aging technology.

That is when the GE Dect 6.0 digital handset moved in. I wanted the same button format as my other GE, but didn't want to compromise on any of the features. A digital answering system was thrown in at the price point and is a back up to our current voicemail. I love the fact that their aren't any antennas and that the backlight is a blue color. The buttons also illuminate very lightly when pressed. The reason I jumped for these was because of the GOOG-411 service that is free. I LOVE THAT feature. Before I would be constantly googling everything when I needed a phone number; this feature is truly a big relief and 100 percent voice activated. It does a wonderful job with the prompts and once again it is completely FREE information built into your phone.

I did see some negative reviews but still took a chance. Voice clarity is top notch and there are enough bells and whistles to make it pretty enough (such a girl here). The sleek lines and small size won't have you hiding it out of sight.

Highly recommend this system... one star removed because as another person mentioned there is a lag between functions such as hanging up and quickly redialing. You will end up dialing half the number only because the system hasn't caught up. We don't have patience so that took one star away. Another thing that I can see that would bug people is the fact that the light on the base and handset is very bright at night where it will actually illuminate the surrounding area blue. This doesn't bother me but if you put it in your line of sight where the television is, you will be distracted.

These phones are awful. The reception on them is horrible. Lots and lots of static. I thought maybe it was my 2 level house. I gave the phones away after callers mentioned how they would hear alot of static while we were speaking to them on the phone. We could hear the static ourselves during phone conversations. Although the features are great I had to get rid of them. I sold them to a friend for cheap and wound of purchasing the Panasonic Dect 6.0. I'm trying those out but trust me this phones were such a waste of my money. So far the friend I sold them to also mentioned hearing alot of static. I haven't heard back again so I'm not even sure if she'll decide to keep them. Don't waste your money on these. You will be disappointed like I was.
