Don't expect too much... And don't believe the box!
I was very excited about this new phone system and all the wonderful features. I waited for weeks, then rush on the internet. Having use it for few days, I am quite deceived:
- The sound is so-so, it is sometime hard to understand people talking. Setting it to high make a slight "hum"
- The handset display is nearly unreadable, too bright with too thin fonts.
- Setting the phone is quite complicated (as compare to my former Panasonic)
- There a lot of frill options,...

Buggy phone - try again GE
At first when I bought this phone, I couldn't understand why everyone gave it such bad reviews. However, after using it for a few weeks I've found there are some serious problems with this phone. I had to return it.
Pros:
* Finally, no interference from my other various devices.
* I work from home and my favorite feature on this phone is that the "mute" button is a toggle feature. You press it and the phone says "mute on" until you press it again. This means I don't have t...

Nice try, GE
You can spend a whole lot less and get a way better phone.
1st problem: I can't hear people on the other end regardless of volume setting.
2nd problem: Display is nice and bright, but the LCD doesn't have enough contrast, so you can't see the display.
3rd problem: I doesn't display the number of missed calls, you manually need to scroll through the list to see how many were missed.
I hope GE will take this piece of work back.

Bad phone
I ordered this phone hoping it would surpass the 7 year old Panasonic phone i have, however, I was very disappointed! The LCD is sooo bright that you cannot even see the CID name! The speaker phone is terrible! You have to hold the phone to your ear just so the person on the other line can hear you... There is also no battery indicator on the headset. I am notorious for forgetting to hang the phone up to charge and it is helpful when their is an indication as to when the battery is going to...

Buy a Uniden - it's cheaper and works better too!
I purchased this phone along with the extra handset only to be extremely disappointed. We allowed it to charge the mininum hour time as stated in the manual - it didn't make a difference with the phone quality. From the first use the sound quality was horrible. I could barely hear the person on the other end of the line - regardless of them using a landline or cell. I turned the volume up, which only made the problem worse and then created an additional 'feedback' problem regard...

Good phone with two minor problems
We love the baby monitor function and use it all the time. The phone sound quality is quite good. For $98 we have three phones and an answering machine.
I only have two problems with this system:
1) The "do not disturb" feature could have been great: it stops all noise from the phones and answering machine (incl. outgoing message, caller's message, etc) with one button. HOWEVER, it does not stop the beep every 10 sec letting you know you have a message. How silly.

Worst Cordless Phone EVER & expensive!
This is the worst phone I've ever had! Everything about it is wrong. The instructions "pamphlet" is just that. It unfolds to a large piece of paper. Give it to us in a book format so it's easy to read. It doesn't tell you what the functions are, just how to set them up. Everything you have to set up is awkward. The phone book adds everything by order of entering, not alphabetical. The most important feature is the answering machine and my outgoing message sounds like I'm either 30 ft bel...

Terrible phone, sorry I bought it.
The display contrast makes it hard to read and there isn't a way to change it. There are 20 ringer sounds to choose from, only 2 of which are bearable. The ringer is hard to hear even on its loudest setting. After a few days the phones stopped displaying the caller's name and number and only displayed "no data" or "incomplete data" (I know its not my service because my upstairs phones were displaying it fine). The sound on the answering machine is terrible, my outgoing message sounds like I a...

Works Ok. Couple of Issues.
I don't have a problem hearing conversations with this phone, which is the most common complaint. Nor do I get humming or a bad connection. Seems ok on that stuff, and I like some of the features, like the "Do Not Disturb."
The two issues I have (not counting the instructions, which are a ridiculously hard to read fold-out pamphlet) are:
1. lack of a battery back-up means you have to reset it and re-record your messages if the power goes out or if you have to unplug it f...

Continuous Static
Until I read these reviews I thought the constant static and occasional dropped sound might be due to a problem with the unit I purchased or perhaps due to some electronics in my office. It has gotten so bad that I only use this phone long enough to walk to my older (but much clearer) Panasonic. If you buy this GE, hold on to your receipt.
