Summary: Excellent, clear sound on both ends; good range; comfortable
Review: Sound quality on both ends is excellent and there's no annoying voice echoing when speaking into the phone, unlike the majority of DSS phones. It's not true 2.4GHz, and I never expected it to compete with the range of the DSS phones, but it holds its own and still provides noticeably better interference-free range than my 900MHz VTECH, which is what I was looking for. Whether calls are local or long distance, there's no hissing or background noise, just quiet, clear reception. I start to get very slight interference when I'm in the back yard with our metal construction sunroom between me and the base, but that's typical of any cordless. I have to go into our neighbor's yard before interference gets more noticeable and even then, it isn't bad and never degrades the conversation.

The design is comfortable, and using the GE for a 2-hr conversation today was a pleasure. My only real complaint is that the function buttons are small and poorly labeled, so you have to learn where they are and know where you're going. This is insignificant considering the overall performance. Also, for the price, I can't complain about a lack of features, and has everything I need, including a mute button and headset jack.

Bottom line is this phone works well for my needs and is inexpensive. Hopefully, it'll last a while.

Summary: Ick.
Review: Terrible phone. Lots of static and no range

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not a very good phone
Review: The battery life seemed to be pretty good. You could hear it ring pretty clearly. The answering machine speaker is not very clear. When using the handset we would always hear a clicking noise. When we would call people they say they hear an echo. We are going to buy a new phone and you can be asured it will NOT be a GE phone,

Summary: Hope I don't have to dial 911
Review: The problem I've had with this phone, is that the number pad quits working on one side. I know of two other people who have had this problem with this phone. Before I took the phone apart, I couldn't press the 6. Now it's the 4. The cancel button just completely quit working, too. To make a phone call, I usually just go through the CID list and hope that the number I need is on there.

Summary: I would return it if weren't too late!
Review: The sound volume decreased with time and after about a month it is so low that the phone is unuseable.

Summary: Very disappointed
Review: This is a great phone if you like to buy new phones every few months. The half-life of mine was 7 months. It was actually great up until that point. One day I answered it and the caller couldn't hear me; they hung-up thinking no one was there. From then on, it was unusable. This phone didn't even live through its warranty. This is the second time I got burned by a GE product; never again.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Everything on one
Review: This is a great phone, have everything anyone need on one phone, and the sound is crystal clear.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: TERRIBLE!
Review: This phone does not even deserve 1 star. I seem to have terrible luck with phones and this is by far the WORST phone I have ever owned. It picks up every sound in the room, so it makes it impossible to hear the person. We have had this phone for a year, now it only turns on 1 in 10 tries and only registers half the numbers you dial-sometimes NONE at ALL! I can't even walk outside without getting static-2.4 GHZ??? If it weren't for the fact that we paid $69 for it, I would have trashed this phone long ago. I would not recommend this phone to anyone.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great
Review: This phone is great. I have had no trouble with it. It's a must have.
