GE 26977GE1 900 MHz Cordless Headset Phone (White)

Rating:
Summary: GE phone
Review: I loved the older model, without the caller ID feature. The only problem I had after 3 years of use (had an extra battery)is the mouth peice over the years began to break away from the headset and you couldn't hear very well at times. You might say the family wore it out! Loved the design, great to be hands free while talking and walking in the house as well as outside the house in the yard! The reception was great! I am on the way to buy the new model and put it to the test!

Summary: Decent, but lost features of the old model
Review: I'll echo what most other people have already said. This is still a decent phone but it's far inferior to the old model. No mute, no second battery. If the old one used a jack instead of being fixed to the unit I'd still be using at least one since I ended up buying two!

Summary: Prefer the old headset
Review: My new GE headset is still charging for the first time but the first thing I found right away is I don't like the headset on the new model. My old model is the 2-9918A. It has a fantastic headset. The new headset feels too squirmy with swiveling joints and the gooseneck mic is really floppy. I only put it on when I receive a call and I know I'll be adjusting it each time.

Can anyone recommend a replacement mic that works like the old one? (ie. No swivel and firm gooseneck that stays in place when you put it down on the table.)

Summary: poor reliability
Review: purchased this phone and the only thing I use any longer is the headset. The phone beeps (actually shreiks) intermittently. No interference, no rhyme or reason. Called support and after the typical maze of routing, they suggested I buy another battery which cost more than the phone, yet both were <90 days old. Garbage product with a GE label, made and suppoorted (not) by some unheard of firm.
