There must be better ways to waste your money!!!

3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros The only pro is the cheap price.
Cons The cons are listed above. Even the cheap price doesn't justify purchase of junk.
Recommended it? No

Bought one, exchanged it because the answering machine didn't work, the time wouldn't stay set and there was a screech in the handset. The second one had all the problems of the first except there wasn't a screech in the handset. This part of GE is owned by Thompson Computer Electronics. I called... Read full review »

Good phone for the price

Pros Price and Features.
Cons Design and Display.
Recommended it? Yes

Target had this phone for $26.99, and you just can't beat the price for all the features you get. When the phone sits on the desk, the display is a bit tough to read, but, from a standing position above the desk, I can see everything just fine. And, the answering machine coincides with the caller... Read full review »

Pros Inexpensive, lots of features.
Cons Attractive but awkward design. Display doesn't run on batteries.
Recommended it? No

For the past several years, my husband Bill and I have had two phones in our house. Only one of our phones had Caller ID. Until recently, I kept that phone on my desk in our home office. Our other phone was strictly a "no frills" model, a cheap purchase from Roses Discount store that I found when... Read full review »

Pros Lots of functionality for the price
Cons Speakerphone volume is too low
Recommended it? No

Lots of functionality for the price. I was most interested in the speakerphone, but the volume is too low, even at max setting. I sit 2 feet from the phone, and had trouble hearing it. Read full review »

GE-29897 GE1 Good phone with answering machine problems

bygary_he Dec 24, 2005
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Clean Styling. Easy to use.
Cons Handset hang-up hook a bit clumsy. Intermittent answering machine disconnect problems.
Recommended it? No

I like the features. Easy to use w/o too many knobs. Love the price. But here is my negative experience: the answering machine works only intermittently.

I have noticed 2 failure modes:

1)The caller hears a tone burst (about 1 second) and immediately is disconnected when the... Read full review »

Pros It was a corded answering machine.
Cons Ditto from the review.
Recommended it? No

I bought this phone because our previous one (AT&T) was cutting off in the middle of someone leaving a message. Well, this one didn't even take messages!! It cuts off the caller before they hear my message. I was considering returning it and trying again with the same brand, but after reading the... Read full review »

Good features, but flawed

Pros All the right features -- answering machine, caller ID, speaker-phone.
Cons Answering machine kept losing its memory.
Recommended it? No

This phone had the right mix of features: corded, with built-in answering machine, speaker-phone and caller ID. I didn't really like the shape of the handset, and the microphone only had a tiny little hole for your voice to go through, but these were minor quibbles.

The main problem was... Read full review »

Pros Easy to Setup and use
Cons None so far
Recommended it? Yes




The combination phone and answer machine that I previously had was hard to set up and the one touch buttons were all too small. I wasn't really looking for an answer machine telephone when I found this general electric/GE model number 29 897. Actually I would just browsing in the... Read full review »

Pros Attractive design. Easy to use. Nice LCD panel.
Cons Answering machine will not work
Recommended it? No

I like this phone and wish the answering system worked. I have tried 2 phones in the last 2 days. The answering system is definitely on. After the programmed number of rings to start the system it picks up the call and then disconnects the caller without even playing the greeting.
I called the... Read full review »

Pros Feature-rich, good sound quality, easy menu system

Recommended it? Yes


I found this phone sort of by "accident"... and I'm so glad I did! I had actually been looking for a nice cordless model that would be of good quality and include several needed features. Our previous cordless phone (a much more expensive VTech model) had some nice features, but had only... Read full review »
