Southwestern Bell 2.4GHz Cordless Phone with Stereo Clock Radio (GH3060)

My wife bought this phone for our daughters bedroom. It was very difficult to follow the manual. The manual takes you through setup for area code, language and screen contrast then leaves you hanging about caller ID setup. There are no instructions in the manual about how to use caller ID with this phone. Likewise there are two alarms. The manual tells you how to set them up but not how to leave one active and the other alarm off. The LCD on the handset is terrible. You have to tip it just right to see the active numbers, otherwise you see every symbol on the phone. Ths companies web site does not have faq's for problems with this phone. There is a customer support number, I had so many problems with this phone tht I chose not to waste my time (calling on a working phone) with them.

I know this phone is not available and probably no one is ever going to read this review, I thought I put it in anyway after a good 1 hour of trying to set and learn the darn thing tonight. The radio/phone looks pretty good, the stereo sound is very decent as well, but using it is a bi-tch. You have to go through 3 buttons just to turn the stations. And if you set the sleep mode, hope you are not falling sleep and trying to turn the thing off early, you have to locate the little radio on/off button instead of the usual big round SNOOZE button. Setting up the alarm is way too complicated. The volume actually in my personal opinion is a little too loud. Level 1 is enough to keep you sober on a drunken night :) I am just going to use the basic feature of this unit, not gonna go bother with the "fancy" features.

I bought this combo to replace my 20+ year old telephone/radio/clock. It takes up so much less space. Clarity on the phone is excellent. I love the Caller ID - especially if the phone rings in the middle of the night. I get good reception on the radio and the alarm works well. I think the volume on the alarm could be a bit louder, but hey, what do you want for 20 bucks? I love it and and it works well for me.
