I have had nothing but problems with this phone. It re-sets itself all the time and the answering machine shuts itself off so that I can't count on it to take messages. The phone has a serious problem. I bought it because I had had one like it and it was easy to use and comfortable on the ear. But this one doesn't work half the time. I would NOT recommend this product.

I have to replace this phone after 10 months. The buttons are sticky and you have to push down on them very hard in order for them to work. The message machine meassages are muffled and some times dont come through. I'll never buy a G.E. product again.
