Possible Health Hazard
DECT 6.0 phones do not operate in the 6.0 GHz frequency band. That would be illegal. The approved frequency band for DECT devices is 1.9 GHz.
In order to prevent interference, the FCC determines which devices are allowed to transmit within specific frequency bands. When a band reaches its traffic capacity, the FCC will usually open up another band of frequencies for use. The FCC has granted DECT-based wireless telephony permission to operate in the 10 MHz spectrum between 1920 and 193...

Terrible
I'm returning my phone immediately. The display is almost completely unreadable due to the ridiculous blue on blue color choice and glare of its brightness. Shame on you G.E. for putting out such a terrible product.

Too tinny, too lightweight, too hard to see & it doesn't work
Went in to the local big box electronics store armed with my consumer magazine ratings to buy a digital phone for my land line and saw this model with multiple handsets. Although not shown on my ratings, this DECT 1.9GHz model from GE caught my attention and the packaging box displayed the exact feature list I was looking for.
After charging the batteries for sixteen hours, I began programming the phone with a minimum set of numbers to test. I could not get it to answer a call from my...

Compared several phones - GE's audio very poor
I wanted a phone with the following features:
- didn't interfere with home WiFi network
- had a headset jack on the handset
- had a mute button
- had an answering machine
- could keep good quality while roaming 1 or 2 rooms away
I tried two sets of GE 6.0 phones, and both suffered from faint, tinny, clipped audio. Words that were perfectly understandable on other phones were simply not there on this one. Also, the buttons aren't actually lit - the light is a...

Horrible sound, lightweight, lights up all the time
Horrible phone. It's very lightweight and feels cheap. The handsets are not comfortable against your head or in your hand. The belt clip is short and not secure. The blue backlight comes on very frequently for no reason when the phone is at rest, creating a lot of light in a dark room. Just look at it and it lights up. Also, when it's on its base, the red charge light is always blinking, and it's a large light, and the large bright blue message light is also very obtrusive. GE makes incre...

Needs some improvement
If you have DSL like I do, you may experience some static. Wi-fi does interfere with these signals, despite this product's claim that it operates on a bandwith above that. As for complaints about the talk button being too close to the face, that makes no sense. Unless you are pushing the phone into your cheek while talking, you won't have a problem. The only legitimate gripes are these: (1) the display has a blue screen with dark blue characters. It is very difficult to read. What genius d...

Ghosts in the machine?
I purchased this phone and it worked as expected except I had hung up the phone on accident when trying to shoulder the phone because the talk button is next to your face and it hangs up. That I could live with. But what I couldn't is that randomly the phones would light up with the blue backlight. I thought the phone was ringing without sound, but it wasn't. This happened on both handsets.
Then I have the extra handset by our bed and last night my husband and I noticed that it was b...

better than expected
I've never been a fan of the GE product so I was reluctant to make this purchase, but I needed a dual handset withOUT an answering machine (am I the only one in the world that has voicemail??) that would allow for very private phone calls without interference or static when I move around my house. So far it's done ok. There's a little noise in the background but not enough to interfere with a phone call. I haven't had a problem with static. There are 20 different ringtones to chose from, ver...

Doesn't work with WiFi
Similar to the comments above, we purchased this phone as we switched from Voip back to a standard land line. Only problem is, there is no audible ringtone for incoming calls. Called GE support and they mentioned to disconnect the phone and try connecting it again. GE said sometimes there are interference issues with VoIP systems, which I no longer have. After "rebooting" the phone...still no ringtone. GE Support suggested I return the phone, which is exactly what I'm going to do. I'm goin...
