This is an excellent phone for the price. It does not require a power supply, thereby saving the electric power needed to keep that going. It works even if there is a power outage in the house. It has many very helpful features. The downside is that it will lose the programmed numbers if there is a power outage in the house.

Item is as advertised. It is a spare phone for us in the bedroom. It could use a lighted dial but for the price it is fine.

I recently bought this phone (my previous corded phone broke after I dropped it one too many times). I am happy to report that this telephone by GE actually works very well despite it being so low priced--you really get value for your money here if you want a regular corded phone. In general, the construction of this telephone reflects solid engineering. Yes, I know; it is corded; but when all you really need is a basic phone this really does the job. Besides, the fact that this is corded means you'll never misplace the cordless handset!

In addition, the phone offers well known features including "last number redial," and there's a ten number memory setup that you can program so you don't have to bother dialing numbers you call often. It also lets you switch between touch tone and pulse (rotary) dialing. I use touch tone dialing as most people do. However, as another reviewer correctly notes, if there is a power failure you will have to re-program those ten memory dial numbers. Although the phone takes up little space, it can be mounted on a wall if you wish; the instructions are easy enough.

I highly recommend this telephone for people who merely want a basic, inexpensive phone that still has a couple of "frills" to enjoy like memory speed dialing and a "one-touch redial" feature. Sure, there could be another feature or two but overall this is still quite a good phone for the price. I recommend it if you're looking for an inexpensive corded phone.

Well, if you're gonna call 'your best girl', and u have one of these nice General Electric/American telephones handy, gosh, we all know, u could never have had it better. You are sure to, win friends, many for sure, w/ a dandy little phone like our GE model here. It's handy to use & program, and it's far much sturdier than the ATT phone (Model 210, i think.) This phone is not expensive, and is for sure, highly recommended. A+. Go out & get yourself one now, lick-udy-split. Oh, btw, i must add that my phone, by GE/Thompson Co., the handset does not plug into the phone-base. The handset has a phone line, that runs straight from the handset, to the wall plugin. The handset just sits on the base, which i rather like. The phone is, then, rather mobile, as u can wander around, w/ the length of the phone line, and not limited by the handset-to-base phone line length, which is usually rather short. Again, recommended A+.

This phone should never have left the drawing board. I am in the process of returning same.
