I researched on the net for GE phones before buying this product. Most of the phones had very bad reviews over all. This one had 3 stars based on very few reviews. I bought it because it was inexpensive and worth try.

Pros- low price, good looking, many functions - answering system, digital, speakerphone, ...etc.

Cons - with volume set to the highest level (5), frequently could barely hear people talking. I had to ask people to please talk louder, which is never a good thing. After buying it, I found someone else who has the same phone. They told me that they had the same problem and remained unhappy with their purchase. I gave it to a relative who needed a phone.

I bought this phone on sale at a store. It might possibly be the worst purchase I made in my life. First you cannot hear the person you are speaking with too well. But I was willing to overlook that. What really makes it the worst phone ever was that after a few weeks I couldnt use it more than 5 minutes without it dying. Maybe the one I bought was a lemon, who knows. The reason I bought it was because it was really a pretty phone and matched my shiny computer. Boy, what a mistake that was. I definitely do not recommend buying it. Oh and that google button is useless and annoying.

Not totally sure why I bought this phone despite the poor reviews. I would advise others not to make the same mistake I did. I was turned on by the "battery back-up" feature but this appears to be a lie as the phone does not function during a power outage. Main issue with this phone is that the sound quality is just awful. I believe they are trying to drown out background noise, but it just makes the calls sound terrible and awkward and constant voice cutoffs. Look elsewhere, there are many other phones that work better for the same price or less.
