Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Trying to remove clutter from your night table? Consider the Southwest Bell GH3062 cordless phone and AM/FM clock radio in one. With its simple black plastic design, the GH3062 offers 2.4 GHz analog operation, caller ID capability with a 64-name-and-number memory, 10 programmable speed dial locations, and hearing aid compatibility.

While the handset offers a three-line backlit LCD plus keypad, the base unit houses the built-in AM/FM clock radio. A dual programmable alarm lets you set separate wake up times, and a thoughtful radio mute feature activates automatically when you're on a call. Time and date is displayed on a large LED in bold green, easily readable whether it's day or night.

I love this clock/phone!
The controls for the alarm are all on the front of the unit,once you've memorized where they are, you can reset your alarm in some cases without even looking at it! Super easy to set, no more having to hold down buttons while it cycles through 24 hours to get to the time setting you want.
All the phone buttons are reachable even when it's in the cradle.
You can clear out your caller id listings without having to pick up the phone.
It has a new call indicator light so you can tell from a distance if there's any new calls on your id list.
The phone sound quality is decent enough for a bedroom phone.
We have several other cordless phones in the house and it does not confict with any of them.
I've gone through many digital alarms in the last 20 years and
this is by far the best!
I would recommend this phone to anyone who asked!

The first few days I used this phone/clock radio, my initial reaction was to return it. I decided to give it a fair chance, so I used it for a couple more weeks and the longer I used it, the more I was convinced it should be returned. These are my reasons for returning this unit:
~~ As other reviews mentioned, the beeping sound every time you press any of the buttons is quite annoying to you and anyone else in the room. It would be nice to have the option to turn the "beeping" off or even turn it down.
~~ The clock display is not green as pictured on the box, instead it is a bright yellow. The display is too bright even when turned down to the "low" position. It is so bright in fact, that I put 3 layers of colored cling wrap on the display to try and cut down on the glare.
~~ Because of the design of the unit being tilted up, everytime I press any of the buttons while laying down, such as to set my alarm or hit the snooze button, I end up pushing the unit half way across my night stand.
~~ The alarms are not very straight forward or user friendly, beeping at you all the while. The buttons are hard to locate in the late night and early morning when you need them the most. They should be a bit larger.
~~ The phone is basic, although in my bedroom, I use the clock radio more often then the phone. For me, the phone is really only there for the sake of convenience, not as my main house phone so it served its purpose.
I'm sure I would not have returned the unit if there were only one or even two features that I didn't like, but there were just too many to have to live with. Overall, I am quite dissatisfied with this unit and would NOT recommend it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great idea, but poor execution, February 17, 2006

This is one of the very few cordless phone/clock radio combos out there with dual alarms. That said, my wife has had a love/hate relationship with the thing since we got it. Most of the love goes (went?) to the 900 MHz phone, which worked great until the warranty expired. Most of the hate goes to the clock radio, which is not intuitive to set, has an alarm that plays for 10 minutes and then shuts off (heavy sleepers will snooze through this easily), and is generally lacking in features. And as I mentioned, now that the one year warranty has expired, the handset is having frequent problems connecting to the base. So we're in the market for a new unit - but this one had so much potential...
