Summary: A- Phone
Review: I also have the old version of the phone that is 5 years old and still is the best cordless phone I have ever bought. This phone was very good. In and outside. But one week ago the base stoped working. It would still charge it and the phone still worked but i couldn't call or recieve calls. Oh well. So I bought a BellSouth 2.4 Ghz phone and my 900Mhz 5 year old phone is 10 times better. I will always buy a GE.

Summary: Good for the money... then you buy a new one
Review: I bought this phone because I just needed a phone for my room, without the "bells and whistles" of an answering machine system. The worked really well for maybe two or three months (good reception, light, etc...), but now I can't talk on my phone for more than 5 minutes (after being charged for 24 hours b/t each call) before the battery dies on me. Kind of ridiculous, really. Also, my phone "clicks" when I am actually able to use it. It might be worth it for a month or so, unless you like to buy a new phone 4 times a year. :-)

Summary: Good Phone For The Price
Review: I bought this phone several months ago & I am very pleased with this one. I have had several cordless phones, this so far is the best one that I've had in years. If you are looking for a good phone, at a good price, this is it. As far as the price goes, other stores sells the exact phone for more money. Target was the least expensive that I found.

Summary: Do not buy this phone
Review: I bought this phone to replace a 900 mHz model that had poor reception. What a mistake. This one is by far much worse. The call quality is the worst I have ever experienced in a cordless phone. I've tried changing the channel, but I'm convinced that does nothing. The range is horrendous. If you venture more than 20 feet from the receiver, your call is completely taken over by static. It looks nice, that's about the only good thing I can say about it.

Summary: Basic 2.4 GHZ Phone
Review: I bought this phone to replace another 2.4 Ghz phone I got (UNIDEN). The first one broke down twice in a year and I thought "Maybe I should buy a new one" (DUH).

Pros: Pretty slim, and light (In comparison with my latest phone, it weights like a feather). Good range. If you install it in a good-center area it should not bother you at all. Like the 2 minutes pager function. Plus it has the option of "pause" for sending tones in network operator. Good volume. The feature allowing you to set it on the wall is great. It keep it's upright position. Complete it with a digital answer machine (Inexpensive some models) and you'll be fine.

Cons: It's pretty basic. Doesn't have any caller ID or answering machine. It only have 10 memory preset (I already have 5 stored) only two ring tones (Want poliphonic? get a cell). Doesn't have any mute option.

I give it four stars because as a basic phone it won't let you down.

Summary: GE Makes Durable Long Lasting Cordless Phone
Review: I have not purchased this phone, but the 900mhz similar one. I don't feel the need for all this new rang because our apartment is small. I will always choose GE for a cordless phone because our last GE lasted us almost 7rs and it took QUITE a beating. From teenagers, dropping, left off charger that phone never skipped a beat. Naturally after the 5th year we needed a new battery and it worked well for a year but somehow from all the comments Ive heard no phone really lasts well with a new battery. Oh and another thing if you test the phones these days some of them are as light as a feather. A friend had a UNIDEN and dropped it on the kitchen floor it shattered.It was like 2 weeks old. The GE's have a few extra ounces and i'm not afraid of dropping it. Oh and just some of my personal opinion. Yes Cordless Phone and Answering machine combos are space savers but they are a pain when they break. Find a little bigger table and buy a seperate answering machine. Just think of when one of a TV/VCR/DVD combos components break. How useless. GE is a great company for Stoves, Fridges, and Cordless Phones.

Summary: Sound Quality is Awful
Review: I liked the features of this phone, and the price was good, but I tried it for about a month and finally took it back. The sound quality is awful. I'm disappointed, because I have a GE phone I bought in the '80s that still works like a charm. I have the best hearing of anyone I know, and I could hardly hear people on the new phone without turning the volume all the way up--and then I got a static sound when I or the other person spoke.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Buy
Review: I recently bought this phone, and I am so pleased with it. The price is amazing. I bought this phone to replace a phone I had bought about a year ago. The static on my old phone was horrible, to the point where I could not even hear the conversation. This phone is very clear. Would recommend to anyone.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Reliable Phone at a Great Price
Review: I've had this GE phone for four months, now. I bought it despite dire warnings from users who've had trouble with nearly every brand and model of wireless phone. I'm happy to say that I've had no trouble with the phone, and am particulary pleased with the call quality.

Calls are clear, and without static or popping, from every part of my house. Signal strength is uniform throughout the house, and I rarely if ever need to switch channels to get a better reception. The phone does have a faintly hollow tone compared to a land line, but it's barely noticeable and you'd have to be very sensitive for it to be an issue.

Another reviewer noted that this unit may conflict with wi-fi. I run wi-fi in my house, and have tested call quality with the wireless network on and off, and with the phone's base unit in many different locations. I can plainly state that my phone is unaffected by the wireless network, even when I put the base station right next to the wireless network transmitter.

The features of this phone are simple and easy to use. The caller ID pops up quickly and is easy to read. The numbers are easy to read and sound when you touch them. I don't use the programming feature to store numbers, but it appears to be simple to do for those that may want to. It's not chock full of features, but it does have a great set of features for the price. I can recommend this unit unconditionally.
