Summary: Its ok
Review: I too am having button problems. The 2 and 3 buttons have to be pushed insanely hard to get them to work. Other than that, I have been happy with the phone, but I am writing this review because I am shopping for a new phone because my wife is tired of building up her strength to dial.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Its ok....For awhile
Review: It was a pretty good phone for awhile. I think ive had it for a lil less then 6 months and already the bottons on it are HORRIBLE! i cant even hang up the phone let alone dial one number! Overall it was ok. No static. And the answering machine was fine. Just those bottoms!

Summary: The phone is fine, whine somewhere else
Review: My folks who are in their late sixies have had this phone for over a year. It works just fine. My father suffers mild hearing lost, corrected with hearing aids. They have no problem hearing the messages, or with reception. In fact they like so much they want another one without the answering machine for another room. Just wanted to add a postive review to keep things balanced.

Summary: Terrible Caller ID display, static on messages
Review: Phone looks very nice and takes up little space on the wall, but it's a bad system. The display for Caller ID is bright neon and the letters are black, making for a difficult time reading who is calling.

In addition, the answering system is bad because of an abnormal amount of static.

Simply put, we bought this phone 4 days ago and are returning it.

Summary: Nice Easy-to-Use Phone
Review: The caller id feature on the handset is fabulous, because I can see who is calling no matter where the phone is. The answering machine works good, though it is a bit fuzzy. Reception on the phone is excellent, getting far better and far more distance than previous cordless phones I have had.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Piece of junk
Review: The sound quality is usually OK, but at random intervals I get sudden, loud static that drowns out the conversation. I'd think it was interference except my other 900MHz phone (a Panasonic) isn't affected.

The ringer is so incredibly awful that I turned it off and plugged my old corded phone in just so I wouldn't have to listen to it anymore. The ringer is extremely loud and cannot be adjusted.

Caller ID is bizarre, becasue the order of calls on the phone is completely different than the order of incoming calls. Plus the time-stamps are always wrong, both on caller ID and on answering machine messages.

The call-back feature for caller ID simply doesn't work for long-distance numbers-- because the phone will not dial "1" before dialing.

This phone stinks. I'm sorry I got it and I'll be replacing it soon.

Summary: Problems w/ Buttons
Review: This phone has two MAJOR problems.

First, the buttons become unresponsive and hard to press after a short period of time. We only had this phone for a few months before it became very hard to press the numbers, particularly the most-used numbers of our area code. It is now practically impossible to press the 2 button, and when you mash the 2 button with all your might, it then dials several 2's.

Second, after hanging up from a phone call or a misdialed call (see problem #1), you cannot immediately make another call. The phone simply will not give you another dial tone unless it has been "off" for a considerable period of time. This is unacceptable.

We are shopping for a better phone. Shame on GE for putting out such a bad product.

Summary: battery failing & buttons hard
Review: This was a nice phone for about 8 months. after about 5 mos. buttons started to get hard to push, and after only 8 mos. battery beeps because losing power. Not charging well. Going to have to be replaced after ONLY 8 mos!!!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Problems w/ Buttons
Review: When I first brought this phone home it was wonderful. It was very compact and it had the caller ID and answering machine. After about 8 months I noticed that ALL of the numbers on the headset were VERY hard to push. After having the phone a little over a year I have noticed that it looses its charge very quickly. I would only recommend this phone if you need it for something to &quot;hold you over&quot;.
