GE 2.4 GHZ Cordless Phone

I was in the market for a phone and since I already have one with an answering machine, I just wanted a simple cordless phone at a reasonable price.

The buttons are spaced sufficiently far apart that they are easy to use without unintentionally bumping others and the labeling is nice and clear. Sound quality has been excellent, even as I wander through the house well away from the base unit.

If you are looking for a phone that is easy to use and easy to set up, this is the phone. No hassles or dozens of things to remember or deal with that you never use anyways. Just a straight forward easy to use phone. My hearing isn't the best and it is also the first phone that I've tried that I can hear clearly though. The ringer could have been a little louder but I'm sure for someone with good hearing it wouldn't be a problem. Nice phone, great price.
