Summary: Bad, bad, bad phone
Review: Bought 4, one still works, two don't let you speak, one doesn't let you hear.

Do not buy this phone!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: All around -- Great Product
Review: Great fit on my big 'ol head, and the volume is more than loud enough for a moderate volume environment.

Setup was very easy, and anyone who can program a universal remote control, or use a microwave should have no troubles.

It's unfortunate that you need batteries, seeing as how many caller ID phones can draw power from the phone line, but it's a small price to pay for a cheap brand-name second phone with caller ID.

Summary: Caller ID did not work
Review: I also bought this phone as a second caller-id phone for my home. The caller ID system did not work on any of the phone jacks in the house. My other phone does work, so I know that it is a problem with GE's phone. I bought and returned two of these products to ensure there wasn't a defect with one. I would not recommend this product, unless GE can fix the problem.

Summary: unreliable phone
Review: I also found this phone to drain the batteries within the first month. The caller ID did not work properly. The number displayed when the phone rang was the prior phone call. The new number would not show up until the next imcoming call. Also the buttons on the handset for the caller ID are on the outside, which I found to be bothersome if you want to cradle the phone between your ear and shoulder (hands free use). We returned ours.

Summary: Good phone at great price, but some drawbacks
Review: I am quite pleased with this product. I found the price very affordable. The design is attractive, or so I think with my black model.

The [ringer] volume settings are OFF - LO - HI. I find the LO too low and the HI too high, but maybe it's just my hearing.

My biggest complaint is concerning the lack of lighting for the Caller ID screen -- quite a hassle when the phone rings at night and a night lamp is not near by.

Regardless, I've kept the phone, and in the end, I think that is what counts.

Summary: unreliable phone
Review: I am very disappointed in this phone. It has been totaly unreliable and I will need to replace it after only 3 months. Sometimes it works fine but mostly it cuts off my calls in mid-stream. I would never purchase another GE phone.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Caller ID Didn't Work
Review: I bought 2 of these phones at another store and the caller ID did not work, eventhough I already had a GE caller ID stand alone unit and caller ID on another phone--so it was definitely the phone with the problem. I never returned the phones because I didn't really need the caller ID.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not bad for the price
Review: I got this phone for on Amazon it's a really good deal. Like everyone else has said, it's a pain that the caller id display is not backlit. Even when the light in the room is on it is not easy to see. And I agree that the buttons aren't lit enough.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Two still working after 8 months
Review: I have two of the phones and they do the job. I have dropped them both a number of times and they continue to operate well. The display is difficult to read unless you position it at a particular angle but for call review, it satisfies my needs. I like the ability to find a previous call in the display and then select the dial button, very handy.
