1.0 out of 5 stars Really bad phone, September 1, 2006

By

This review is from: RCA GE 21028GE3 - cordless phone w/ call waiting caller ID & answering system (Electronics)

I had my phone for one year now the first two months the phone was great I loved it. Then the trouble starting happening I would be in the middle of talking on the phone and the phone would start searching for no reason I'm sitting right next to the base I just took it off the charger so there was no reason for that. That happenes pretty much all the time now. Then somedays I can't even use my speaker phone the phone just goes blank when I press it nothing happens. The phone doesn't hold a charge either any more. I've wrote the company and they never got back with me. I thought I just got a bad phone and I was going to return it and get the same phone again thinking that just something was wrong with this one. My sister also brought the same phone she had hers maybe three weeks when it starting acting up so she took her's back and tried another one the same thing it was searching all the time going dead no matter how long it was on the charger for. I wouldn't buy any GE phones again because of this problem. I have a cheaper phone that I got for 20 and it is 100 times better then these phones. The answering part of it is great but the phone it self sucks. And the fact that GE didn't even get back with me about this phone makes me even hate there stuff even more. I thought that they would have done something to help with this problem. This phone needs to be pulled off the market it's that bad. No you can go to wal-mart and get this phone for 25 dollars I think the reason is because they where having so many problems with this phone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear sound, good battery life, easy to operate, August 3, 2005

and has enough features. I bought it for 2 weeks now, no complaint.

It's better than my old Panasonic phone, which is hard to operate and sound level is too low. I compared many different models from Panasonic, Moto, VTech, etc and finally chose this one. No regret. Highly recommended!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Sound - low Ringer, January 5, 2006

By 

John (North Alabama) - See all my reviews

This review is from: RCA GE 21028GE3 - cordless phone w/ call waiting caller ID & answering system (Electronics)

I purchased this phone in the two-handset bundle. It was not clear from Amazon's description if this was a bundle or not so read their ad carefully.

The phone has good sound, no problems with the range or the function of the phone. The speaker phone function is very nice to have. The ringer volume is too low even when set to "high". If the handset s in another room it is very difficult to hear. We had to turn the ringer back on our conventional phone so we would not miss incoming calls.

Frequently called numbers can be stored in the handset. Since there are two handsets you have to program each handset separately. It would be nice if there was a means of sharing or transferring the information between the handsets. The numbers are stored in the order in which you enter them. They are not arranged alphabetically so you have to just scroll through until you see the name you want to call.

The digital answering machine works well. I like being able to delete a message in the middle and save the others. The outgoing message sounds like you are talking in a soup can though.

Overall a good phone.
