1.0 out of 5 stars WORST PHONE EVER!!!!!, August 16, 2008

By	grrltrouble (Detroit) - See all my reviews

This phone is the worst I have ever purchased, and that is saying a lot because I have horrible luck with cordless phones. The sound quality is fine when it works. Do not ever count on it working when you want it too, though. At least half the time I pick it up to make a call, I either get static instead of a dial tone or it will not even turn on at all. It just beeps. It does not matter how far or how close I am to the base. The only way to fix this is to unplug the battery for a couple seconds and then put the phone back on its base. This could be a disaster if there was an emergency and, god forbid, I had to call 911.
The other problem is that sometimes this issue rears its head when receiving calls too. No ring or peep or signal to tell you a call is coming in. My answering machine turns on out of the blue with someone leaving me a message. This no signal/no ring when receiving is not any more consistent then when trying to get a dial tone.
The menu/functions are neither too complicated nor especially simple. I want to be able to program my phones intuitively, and it took a little while to figure some things out on this phone. I have not wasted much time on this sort of thing though because I will be getting a new phone as soon as possible. I haven't even tried the Google 411.
Do NOT buy this phone if you are looking for something that you can make and receive calls on.

1.0 out of 5 stars Hands Down - Worst Phone Ever, February 23, 2009

By	R. Hypes (Rockledge, FL, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this phone thinking "It's from GE, it must be a decent quality." How wrong I was. As with other reviews, half the time the phone just beeps and will not let you call out. I have yet to find a fix for this. I have also had problems with the phone not ringing and going straight to the answering machine. I would not recommend this phone to anyone. Highly overpriced and hardly works.

1.0 out of 5 stars Yep, it's as bad as they say..., February 21, 2009

By	The Joy of Techs (Washington, DC USA) - See all my reviews

I don't have much to add to what's already been said about this phone in its various configurations. It looks nice, but it pretty much stops there. And be advised, GE's toll-free customer service only gets you to recordings that eventually direct you to either their website or a non-toll-free number. I sent them an e-mail (which requires providing your name, address, serial number, blood type, etc.), and their e-mail response was to (you guessed it!) call the non-toll-free number! So I called, and after again providing my name, address, serial number, blood type, etc., the person couldn't answer my simple question. I guess this explains why some of their other phone products occupy the bottom three rankings of a certain consumer magazine's recent ratings. The difficult thing to believe is that Google allows its good name to be associated with this product.
