GE 28112EE2 DECT 6.0 Cordless Phone with Digital Answerer and Caller ID

Comment: These phones were great. We bought them when we signed up for voice-over-IP phone service (like Vonage). The sound quality was great and we would have liked to have been able to keep these phones longer. However, after two years of light use (we are a young couple and also use our cell phones) the display completely crapped out. Probably 50% of the pixels sporadically stopped working so it was impossible to tell who was calling, how many missed calls, and who's calls we missed. Unless you don't care about those things, don't get these phones.

Comment: This phone system looks great and is easy to set up. It is nice to have the ability to have a remote handset downstairs. However, the sound quality is absolutely horrible. There is a constant buzzing in the ear piece when attempting to talk on the phone. People on the other end of the phone often ask if we have a bad connection because the buzzing actually is audible to the other party.

I have contacted the manufacturer for warranty service. This required me to box up the phone system and mail it to a service center in Arkansas. So, I will be without the phone for a couple weeks, I'm sure. I put my 10 year old phone back into service while I await the return of this new phone system. The old one is still working great! So, this system better come back in perfect working condition or I am going to return it and use the old cordless phone I have relied upon for years.

Comment: I've had my phones for about three years now, and the displays are getting garbled and unreadable. Resetting by pulling the battery does nothing. These are NOT worth the money!

Comment: My battery after nearly 2 years of using, is finally going in my phones. That is what brought me to looking at buying new ones. Did the search and found these new phones cheap! I also purchased my parents a set a while back when they were $99. Their phones are now flickering after nearly 2 years use with the digits hard to see. So instead of buying new batteries which they need, I may just buy new phones all together now. This set NEVER has static and it is so convenient to have a set in my bedroom where there is NO PHONE PLUG! I encourage you to buy a set! All that can happen is that you don't like the set and send it back. I think some people's area is what the problem is. I live in a city and have NO problems with this system. This DECT 6 by GE works great. NOW, my neighbor purchased an expensive DECT 6 from another company, VTECH, She has static & short battery life. So NOT all DECT 6's are created equal. GO WITH THIS GE!! Currently-$30.92 + $8.00 shipping. Ships from and sold by Ace Photo Digital. Can't beat it even on ebay for a new set!

Comment: WE have been using this phone for more than 2 yrs....Works well for us. I can take the phone while talking up and down even to the garbage bin, the phone still works. No interference from microwave as well.

I gave 4 stars because you have to keep the phone closer even when you turn on the speaker option.

Otherwise, it is doing a OK job. The battery life is good. After using it for more than two years one of the batteries is dead now. Had the batteries alone replaced.
