Do not buy this phone.,

This review is from: GE 26938GE1 900 MHz Cordless Phone with Caller ID/Call Waiting (Office Product)
I used this phone as an extra one in the bedroom. While it is nice that I can turn the ringer off and the caller ID screen is lighted, there is no battery life. I have had the phone for about a year or less and have replaced the battery twice now. You cannot even talk on the phone for 10 minutes without the battery going dead. Standby only lasts a few hours off the base. The price is cheap but having to replace the phone every 6 to 12 months makes the phone more expensive.

This review is from: GE 26938GE1 900 MHz Cordless Phone with Caller ID/Call Waiting (Office Product)
Bought one of these phones. Like everyone else, followed ALL instructions EXACTLY. After less than 1 year, battery won't hold charge and phone keys have to be pressed numerous times to dial. Just bought brand new battery and followed charging recommendations before attempting use. It doesn't work. Headed for the garbage. DON'T BUY THIS and waste your money.

Big Disappoinment,

Man, were we diappointed with this GE phone! We did everything right---"trained" the battery in the beginning, made sure we routinely charged it, never dropped or abused this phone, and then one day it started not holding a charge. We couldn't figure it out.
It worked fine for about a year and then completely crapped out, just like the other reviewers have said. We had a 10-year old Toshiba that was so fabulous and reliable up to it's unfortunate demise, which is when we acquired this loser. Are there any good phones out there somewhere????
