GE 28128EE2 Dect 6.0 Series Cell Fusion Phone

I got rid of long distance on my home phone because I can call nationwide on my cell phone. Well walking around the house with my cell phone/ear piece was not convenient. I knew there had to be a better way. Well this is it. This phone is awesome. I read up on the technology and I was afraid my cell phone would not work. I have a T-mobile MDA and my husband has the BlackBerry 8000 series. Both phones linked via bluetooth in less than a minute. As long as your bluetooth is 1.1 or higher, there should not be a problem is my understanding. Reception is great. I had a 5.8mhz phone and could only make it to the front porch before I got static. With this phone I got all the way to the mail box at the end of the ( short ) driveway. The "Cell" and "home" feature work seperately so one person can make a "cell" call on one handset and another person can make a "home" call on the other hand set. Also if you are on a cell call and the home phone rings ( and vice versa) the phone...Read more

I LOVE the idea of this device, In fact i REALLY want one. I purchased it at Wal-mart. It was defective, took it back, that one was defective, went thru all the in stock units and they all had the SAME defect. I got refund. Thinking that WAL-Mart online would have a different "LOT" number, i ordered it from wal-mart online. I received it yesterday and it also has the same defect.

The problem is this: will not recognize that there are 4 AAA back up batteries in the base unit. When the phone rings, it creates a short that causes the device to go into a soft reset. So all the bluetooth settings, time of day, greetings, etc are erased.

I called the GE/Thompson and the off-shored help is useless. They said to send to some blind PO box in Texas and that the turn around time for a new replacement devices is 10-12 weeks. Screw that!! i'm taking it back to Wal-mart and getting my money back.

This home phone does exactly as described. I thought I would have to keep my cell phone closer to the unit, but I keep it up to 15 feet away with out hearing crackling. I have had it for 2 weeks, and I am still trying to figure out all the features. I do like that you can download your own ringtones, but it can only be MIDI files under 10K.

As far as the review complaining on the soft reset, I did see that happen one time on the second day I had the phone, but not since ... and I did not put batteries into the bsae until the second week.

My wife and I are on Cingular, as well as some friends. This unit allows her to anwser her cell phone from this phone instead of running around the house looking for the cell phone in time. Also, it acts as a 2nd line. Just put your home line on hold and use the cell line to dial someone else.

I would feel confident in referring this unit to a friend or family that needs this feature.
