A digital answering machine is built into the base station and features 15 minutes of recording time, remote message retrieval, a message counter, and a new message indicator. The phone has a caller ID feature that can display the name and number of incoming calls even when you're already on the phone. This information--and more--is displayed on a backlit LCD that has a multilingual message display. You can also assign unique ringtones to different numbers, which means you'll know who is calling without getting up. The GE DECT 6.0 Cordless Phone is backed by a 1-year warranty.
What's in the Box
Base, two handsets, two handset battery packs, two battery compartment covers, charger cradle, telephone line cord, AC power adapter, wall mount bracket, and two belt clips.

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, but some other lacking (setting the display light for instance). - At every power failure, the answering machine to be reset (how modern!), - The speakerphone sound is "humming" So, it is far from the description on the box. I'd rather go for a 5,8 technology and another ... and wished I had buy it at Wal-Mart, so I could return it hassle free. But I didn't. 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: GE 28112EE2 DECT 6.0 Cordless Phone with Digital Answerer and Caller ID (Office Product) 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 to hold down the mute button on a conference call where I just want to listen, or when I don't want coworkers to hear background noise in my house. * Two expandable handsets will connect to the same call at one time, simply by pressing "talk". This comes in handy when the battery starts to die on one handset and you need to switch to another handset, or when two people in the same house want to talk to a caller at the same time. * I love the blue backlight and find the display to...Read more 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful: This review is from: GE 28112EE2 DECT 6.0 Cordless Phone with Digital Answerer and Caller ID (Office Product) 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. |
