Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Take notes, surf the Web, or iron a shirt while also talking over the phone with this GE two-line deluxe speakerphone. Ideal for home offices, the simple corded design ensures a reliable, smooth connection, while the built-in speakerphone--which boasts an adjustable volume control--keeps the chatter flowing while you complete other tasks. The phone comes with two lines, so you can conduct conference calls or talk with one client while another waits on hold. Each line also includes its own distinctive ringer and line status light, along with an electronic hold that releases automatically.

The phone does more than just provide a venue for conversation, however. It also sports a convenient data port for connecting a modem, fax, or answering machine in place of the second phone line. To receive faxes on either line, for instance, the user merely switches the data port switch to line one or two, then waits for the transmission. You can also switch the data port to one line while talking on the other, ensuring that your conversation flows steadily without interruption.

When you're on a call, the LCD screen displays the precise length of each conversation--a useful feature when tracking billable hours. Meanwhile, the speed-dial memory includes space for 32 separate entries with 32 digits each. Additional features include one-touch redial, compatibility with hearing aids, and a 19-volt battery backup that preserves the phone settings in case of power failure. The phone measures 5.75 by 4 by 8.75 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

1.0 out of 5 stars Speaker Phone Problems, March 3, 2003

Chris S (Chicago) - See all my reviews

This review is from: GE 29438GE2 Two-line Deluxe Speakerphone with Data Port (Office Product)

Serious problem. The volume buttons do not function properly. In the middle of a conference call on speakerphone, the volume goes straight to it highest settting. Pushing the down volume button doesn't do anything. The reset option also does not work. However, sometimes it does work. I find that that this happens many many times. I really liked this phone until this unreliable feature is one. SO dissapointed, as I bought it for the speakerphone. May be a result of not using batteries as hinted at in the previous reviews. I am taking my phone back today. Can't anyone make a quality product anymore? This is ridiculuous.

nice phone.
it does NOT have caller ID
It needs to be plugged in to ring. That's about the only negative point.
You can select which line is shared with a modem or fax (I don't use this as i have dsl, but it could be useful.)
Speakerphone works well.
Great value overall.

3.0 out of 5 stars GE 29438GE2 Two Line Deluxe Speaker Phone, January 16, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: GE 29438GE2 Two-line Deluxe Speakerphone with Data Port (Office Product)

I have actually owned several of this model. The main problem I've had with them is the speaker failing after 6 to 8 months. It's possible that the device that controls the voice one way at a time fails. I think it's called the VOX. It's suppose to prevent feed back while using the speaker. I have found the phone to work well when it's working. The styling is nice,the features are suffient for a small office. But, be expected to replace in a year. I tried one of those replacement contracts one time, man what a pain in the neck. I'll never do that again.
