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

By	Huey Driver (N. Myrtle Beach, SC) - See all my reviews

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.

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

By	the preacher (NJ, USA) - See all my reviews

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very poor performance, May 6, 2009

By	VA Architect (Virginia, USA) - See all my reviews

General Electric 28127FE2 Cell Fusion Cordless Phone with Call Waiting and Caller ID This is a very poor performing phone. The awkward buttons, the limited ringtones (none business sounding) were things that I could live with but the phone has a problem that everytime a phone call comes in, the phone starts an initialization phase. It asks for the date, time, etc. and you have to hit end at each prompt. Finally, it goes back into the ringer mode, but by then the voice mail has kicked in. I called GE (Thompson) about this and they said send it back, they can fix it and return it in 12 - 13 weeks!! YES, I SAID TWELVE TO THIRTEEN WEEKS!! Like the other reviewer would have been a zero but that wasn't a choice.
