Review: this product doesn't work at all? might be a bad one but i've tried to hook it up to several phones in my home plugged in to a standard outlet and it doesn't work. There looks like a green display button would come on if it worked but it doesn't come on either.

Summary: Great Value
Review: 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.

Summary: Not good for NYC apts - Misleading Claims
Review: We purchased the GE-Instajack believing it would solve our want of jacks problem as it claimed to be as good as regular jack and was caller ID compatible. However, what we found out was that: (a) if you talked longer than 30 seconds (through all the static), the phone would go dead; and (b) after calling the manufacturer complaining about this and the fact that caller ID was not working, were told the claim "caller ID compatible" just meant that a phone with caller ID will operate on the system but the caller ID function will not work --pretty misleading if you ask me. They gave us tips on resetting the units but it never worked for us. Anyway, we took care of the problem by paying the phone company to come out and install a real phone jack... - something we were trying to avoid (and save money) by purchasing the GE Instajack. -Not worth the frustration!
