I Love This Phone....Dec 07, 2008 Hi, I just went to walmart and purchased my phone yesturday after hours of reading reviews from different sites (including this one). I will be honest, I was so scared to get it because of all the reviews I read with the con's on the phone.
I saw the phone in Walmart a week ago but wanted to come home to see some reviews about it before buying it. I decided to buy it even though I wasn't very happy with the reviews because I wanted to try it myself (everyone is different or sometimes there might be a bad batch of phones). I currently own a Panasonic with 3 hand sets (5.8 GHz), there was nothing at all wrong with it I just wanted a change. I think what got me was the blue light and the nice design of the phone and answering machine (it was just something different). Anyway, I bought it and came right home and put the phones to charge. I didn't touch them or try to program them because it's not good to keep taking a cordless phone off the charger when you first get it, it's better to let it get it's full charge (I was told this by someone in radio shack a few years ago).
About 11 a.m. it was ready for me to try out. I wanted to make sure that all the con's that people wrote about wasnt a problem because I would have taken it right back to walmart to get my money back.
Well, it works GREAT and setting it up is not a problem at all. I was worried after reading some reviews but it was so easy. My oppinion is if someone is having problems with their phone maybe it's something you should call the company about so they can send you a new one.
The phone has 5 different ringer levels and they are great depending on what you prefer. The sound quility when you are on the phone is very clear. I have no problem with my caller ID (as some people mentioned), it comes on with the beginning of the 2nd ring (just like all my phones). The answering machine has a clear sound and you can screen your calls and pick up while they are leaving a message if you want to talk. Another thing that I saw someone complain about is when you dial a number that the numbers on the screen are very small so you aren't sure if you dialed the right number, well I don't know if thats something GE fixed because when I dial a number it shows up big and clear on the screen. I think there is one more thing that I wanted to mention and that is the blue light that a lot of people have complained about being to bright. That is something that each person would see different as far as it being a problem. If you ask me, it is just fine. I don't even notice it once my eye's are closed and I actually love it because if I get up to check on my babies and older kids it is like having a little night light on. If you ask me I feel that this phone is definatly worth buying and im glad I did. I almost got another phone (because of some of the reviews on this one) and it was way over $100, I am very gald that I bought this one and tried it out myself. I have never left a review on a product I have purchased before but I had to on this one because this phone was definatly worth me taking the time out to write one.
The only bad thing is that I wish I would have ordered it from Amazon because it was much cheaper then in Walmart. I did order the extra hand set for my older daughters room though before I wrote the review (which is the cheapest I have found it and there is FREE shipping).
I definatly give this phone 5 stars.
Poor sound! I can't hear the other person...Dec 01, 2008 I bought this phone because it was advertised as crystal clear reception with a great range. Unfortunately, I have never had a phone with such horrible reception. It makes me yearn for my first cordless 900mhz phone. At least I could hear the other person if they spoke in a normal voice.
I returned the 1st one I bought because I assumed it was defective. When I plugged in the 2nd set, it was just as bad.
I have given up on this brand and am currently looking for another DECT 6.o phone set.
Don't buy this phone - The bugs have not been worked out prior to release.
Great for the priceNov 11, 2008 Couldn't be happier with these great phones. The best thing about them is their shape. I've got little hands, hubby has big hands, so it's not easy finding products that both of us like, but these are great! We went to Walmart to hold these and several other phones-these are actually comfortable to hold for extended periods and don't feel like they're going to slide out of your hands. Set up was easier than with our latest cell phones, reception is fine even outdoors. You can access the answering machine from any of the phones, picking a ring tone that you actually like is very satisfying, and the intercom function is nice if you're tired of yelling up and down the stairs Sound quality could be a bit better, but nothing sounds as good as an old fashioned corded phone. We got the extra handset with the Amazon deal a couple of months ago, so 3 handsets for $104 with all the features is a good price. We're very pleased with these.

Squishy ButtonsNov 03, 2008 Sorry, squishy buttons on this phone are a deal killer. Unless you want endless frustration trying to get the number pad to actually work when you type numbers fast - don't buy it. I cannot for the life of me understand why a company does not test its own products. You just cannot dial quickly on this phone. Half the time the buttons work, the other half they do not.

Decent but extra features aren't all there yetOct 20, 2008 This is a decent phone set with lots of bells and whistles. The extra gadget factor comes at a price though. Unfortunately, elements like custom ring tones don't really work all that well because of slow caller ID detection and the interface can be a bit clunky. Still, if you like gadgety phones and don't mind the extra expense this isn't a bad choice.
