4.0 out of 5 stars A fussy product that can work with effort, June 14, 2002
By A Customer
I bought this product because I needed a phone in my family room, which is really an enclosed patio without electrical wiring in the walls. I actually first bought the Radio Shack branded product, which I returned becuase it picked up too much static and stopped working after a couple of hours. After getting the GE product, I looked at the back panel and found out that it, the Radio Shack and the RCA product are all identical except for branding.

Both the Radio Shack and GE products worked perfectly when first hooked up. The Radio Shack product did not come with a manual, so after I returned it and got the GE product I read the manual and learned that they cannot be used with an extension cord. I hooked up the GE product directly to an outlet with high hopes one night.

The next morning, the static made the extension line useless. By the afternoon, I could not get a dial tone off either the base unit or the extension. Worse than that, every other phone in my house, not even attached to the product, lost their dial tone! Unplugging and resetting the units only solved the problems for all phones for a day or less. I experimented, and found that the problem was that I ran my phone line in and out of my computer. Luckily, I have a cable modem and only used my dial up as an emergency backup, so I was able to disconnect the phone line from the computer.

Although the product now works fine, I cannot give it the full 5 stars because (1) the product is fussy and the manual does not provide all fixes, and (2) I doubt the product will work when I switch to DSL and need to connect my phone line to the DSL modem. For that reason, I will actually return the product this week. I would hate to spend [the money]now, only to trash the system when I switch to DSL.

2.0 out of 5 stars Does not work with DirecTV Tivo, July 11, 2005
By Brett Shomaker (Washington, DC metro area) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I purchased this item hoping I could use it to get my DirecTivo talking with the mother-ship again after I moved to a new house that had no phone jacks near the TV area. I followed the simple instructions to set it up and was able to get a dial tone (with little to no static), but the DirecTV Tivo failed to connect every time it dialed in. A quick call to the DirecTV support people revealed that this unit is not compatible with their service. In fact, only 3 wireless phone jack replicators are. One of them is the Belkin F8V1027, also available from Amazon (ASIN: B0000CG4GF -- Amazon used to have a way to recommend items instead of this one, but I can't find it now, so plug the ASIN into Amazon's search and you should get the item).

I'd recommend that you buy the Belkin version even if you're not using it for DirecTV. The Belkin version is less expensive and provides superior functionality. Specifically, it's Caller ID compatible, whereas the GE version is not (the GE works with Caller ID phones, but does not display the incoming numbers). So, save some bucks, and get a better product: buy the Belkin.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Value, November 4, 2001
By B. Hanson (Tigard, OR. USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This product was purchased after finding several that were well over ($). It was as easy as implied. You just plug it in and you are done. I plan on purchasing another one for my mother soon and have definately spread the word to others about the great value this InstaJack phone is.
