Only Buy It On Sale

Pros Good Looking/Attractive, Slim - Able to Fit in Any Space, Easy to Use
Cons Some Voice Quality Issues
Recommended it? No

My husband used our American Express points to purchase the GE 5.8 GHz cordless phone. We truly needed another cordless phone with caller id to avoid those pesky telemarketers.

Appearance
When the package arrived we opened the box and it was really a good looking phone. It is mostly... Read full review »

Decent entry-level 5.8 Ghz phone

byjwilkers Feb 10, 2007
13 Helpfuls 14 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Digital Spread Spectrum for security, ability to turn ringer off. Good range.
Cons No hold button, sound quality sometimes is choppy, short battery charge life.
Recommended it? Yes

This is a member of the latest line of 5.8 Ghz phones. This phone utilizes Digital Spread Spectrum (DSS) for privacy. This also has the benefit of digital sound quality. No Static.

However, sometimes the phone can have "choppy" reception. This is typical of any digital communications... Read full review »

Battery dies -- total junk -- GE 28021EE3-A (Atlinks USA)

byglobalgl Jan 23, 2008
4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Handsets work for 5 minutes so if switch phones quickly can get 15 minutes
Cons Handsets only work for about 5 minutes before battery completely dies
Recommended it? No

My handsets all consistently completely die w/in 5-10 minutes of use rendering them completely useless. Don't buy GE phones like this unless you also want to contribute more NON-biodegradable garbage to the environment --GE and Atlinks USA should be fined for creating garbage and pollution to the...

Horrible Phone

byau4life_rz Jun 6, 2005
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Good price, sleek design
Cons Very poor overall quality
Recommended it? No

The phones volume was very low and the highest setting was barely acceptable. The keypad/buttons begin to stick and fail after less than a year of usage and it's proven impossible to find replacement parts. It appears I'll have to trash the entire phone, (and that's probably where this phone... Read full review »

AVOID AT ALL COSTS

byhalflowers Feb 9, 2005
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Returning from store with anticipation of life bettered by sleek new "wonder...
Cons Realizing you failed to do prior research and looking family in face as known loser.
Recommended it? No

Avoid this phone or return it before it's too late. Volume and clarity completely unacceptable (loudest setting not loud; reception poor when standing next to base). Decent styling, but somehow that does not make up for phone's highest use being as a bookend. Caller ID is below standards of cell... Read full review »

Pros crafty advertising
Cons Junk, battery life is ruined by junk charging base, GE will not back
Recommended it? No

This is easily the worst phone I have ever purchased. After I initially charged it I noticed the phone got hot when left on the base. Called GE they said dont leave phone on base only put it there to charge. So I used the phone utill it quit then left it overnight for a charge, worked for 3 months... Read full review »

I could not adjust the ring tone volume.

bykevlit Feb 12, 2004
2 Helpfuls 3 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Feature packed. Compact. Liked the integrated digital answering machine. Great...
Cons The inability to adjust the ringer tone marred this product for me.
Recommended it? No

It seemed like a very nice looking phone. Why GE would put out a phone without the ability to adjust the volume of the ring tone, I don't understand. You see, I live in an apartment with someone thats sensitive to noise. He started to complain that the ring tone from the phone was too loud. Yet,... Read full review »

Spend your money on a phone that will work 3 months from now

Pros It was cheap at Best Buy.
Cons It was cheap. I got what I paid for, and worse.
Recommended it? No

Like the previous reviewer said, the battery on my GE 25830 dies literally after 5-10 minutes of taking it out of the charge station. I've only had the phone for a couple months, what junk. A new battery is $14.95, which I'm sure would also burn out in a few months.

I'm looking for a new... Read full review »
