I have owned this phone for about 3-4 years. At first, I hated it because on most calls I could barely hear the person I was talking too even with the volume turned all the way up. Then we switched to cable telephone service and suddenly the volume on my phones was GREAT! But then a few months ago we started losing calls on the cordless handsets and the caller ID on one of the handsets became unreadable. Thought it was the batteries, so bought new ones, but the caller ID is still unreadable. And we are also getting that random "Press memo to receive setup instructions" message for no apparent reason. Also have had problems recently with having no dial tone and have to unplug the main base/answering machine and plug it back in to make it work. I have a feeling this phone is dying. Does anyone make cordless phones that last more that 5 years? But because the phone is not completely useless (yet), I give it 2 stars.

I feel terribly ofended by the people who have the gutts to sell something that does not work. This is called fraud. The most horrible parts of this phone. 1- When you receive a message in the answering machine, you hardly can hear the message. Sometimes you just cannot listen anything, and you know you have a message because the light that announces you have a message is blinking. 2- It has an annoying prerecorded message that announces you have messages, telling you the number of messages and the date + time when they were received. Is so long, that it drives me crazy every time, because I just want to hear the message I do not care at all about how many and when they were received. I would prefer this information be given in written form on the screen, because if you are like me you do not have the time to be wasted in listening to this stupid announcement. This prerecorded message cannot be put in mute. The system do not give you this option. I just can believe that GE continues manufacturing and ripping people of their money with this piece of garbage!

This phone is unbelievably bad. Static, calls dropped, handsets don't work reliably, confusing base station keys---and (WORST)the voice message it emits at random times: "Press memo to receive setup instructions," which cannot be erased, stopped, or disables. If you google this phone you'll see that many , many people who have bought the phone have this problem. This phone is so bad that I will never buy a GE phone again - of ANY type. If I could have submitted this review with zero stars, I would have, because this product doesn't deserve even one star. GE should be ashamed of itself.
