3.0 out of 5 stars Rich in features but has some issues and initial battary charging problem, August 8, 2009

This review is from: General Electric 28127FE2 Cell Fusion Cordless Phone with Call Waiting and Caller ID (Electronics)

The good:
Good voice quality. Supports both landline and up to 2 cell phones. Automatically connects to cell phone by bluetooth. Can call and receive calls from any line, cell or landline from any handset. Can place call on hold and answer another line. Can connect two lines to a conference call. Each handset can place calls simultaneously. Speaker phone. Push to talk across handsets. Monitor room in case you have a baby. Can transfer phone book to other handsets.
No more, missing cellphone calls because phone was left in some room or a bag.

The bad:
I had to return for replacement the first set because the introductions are lacking. The instruction said to charge phone for 16 hours before use and that is what I did. Yet the phone started flashing until the battery went dead and the phone won't charge anymore.
After some research on the internet. I realized that the following needs to be done or else the phone won't charge:
1. Plug-in the base unit. Handsets start flashing if you don't do so.
2. Start charging the handsets.
3. As soon as the handset asks for the date. Fill in all the date and time information or else the handset won't charge.
4. Leave it to charge 16 hours.

Other than take, GE made the 3 line support (2 cell phones and 1 landline) not easy to use. When the phone rings, I want to press one button to answer and not need to press another button if the call comes from a cell phone. I got used to it but it is still annoying.

Can not use cell phone it self for calls when it is connected via the bluetooth. Yet, this is more a phone problem rather than GE's fault.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good Doesn't Overcome The Bad, May 10, 2009

I used this for six months before giving up on it. The good: It does what it's meant to, combining your land line and cell phone into one system. It's easy to set up your cell phone, and the batteries last a reasonable long time.
The bad: voice quality is degraded, and it introduces a built-in delay. Making and receiving calls was made so complicated that my wife never did figure it out. Phone book is complicated to use, and one-key access to voice mail is not possible. I can not recommend this unit.

4.0 out of 5 stars Meets my expectations, October 2, 2009

I picked this phone up at an Office Depot brand new and marked down to $18+tax. I figured not much to lose. My wife and I decided not to get land lines when we moved last spring so we only use this to sync with our two cell phones.
Although I have no other experience with Bluetooth enabled cordless phones. I have been very happy with the call/sound quality and the performance and range of the two handsets. I have had none of the issues described by the others here. I would have given it a 5 star if the automatic connection didn't interrupt an active call sending me dashing to find one of the handsets.
