GE Corded 2.4 GHz 27881GE2 Phone with Cordless Handset, Caller ID and Digital Answering System

The corded phone part worked great. Regretably the cordless handset that accompanied it didn't work right. Sometimes the buttons worked ... and sometimes they didn't. No rhyme nor reason as to when it worked and when it didn't. No notice either. Too bad as it was a gift.

this is the worst phone I have ever purchased...
handset no longer works after only 4 months
answering machine records so quietly that you cant hear your messages
something funky with the cord, sometimes people can hear me

sometimes they cant

if a I could find the receipt Id return it

I considered buying another and returning this one in the box with the receipt but not only would that be dishonest, I would end up with another of the same kind of phone

it is absolute cr@p! One star is too many.

I ordered this GE corded/cordless phone because my 5 year old GE corded/cordless phone worked so well for years, and still worked well, but because of an electrical storm the callerID no longer worked. When I set the phone up (which was easy to set up, just like the old one) I tested the voicemail out. I COULD BARELY HEAR IT! I went away for the weekend and came home. IF IT WEREN'T FOR THE CALLERID, I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO TELL WHO CALLED! I had the volume turned all the way up, but it didn't go any further. I checked manual, this was it. Also, the sound quality of the landline was fine. Alittle low even turned up all the way up, but OK. BUT! The hand held cordless phone had such poor quality, I couldn't hear what people were saying and my own voice sounded awful to me. Very "tin-ey" and irratating. I send it back. Amazon was very nice about letting me return this.
