GE Cordless 28031EE1 5.8 GHz Cordless Digital Phone with Caller ID and Digital Answering System Customer Reviews

I have owned this phone for roughly 18 months now. It has survived just fine, and for as often as we use the phone, its battery hasnt had any problems, only on over 1 hour conversations do i see problems, and if that. i've heard the low battery beep 2 or 3 times. If it happens i use my corded phone.

Otherwise the clock is a pain to set for the Answering machine.(it also forgets the time if you lose power for more than 5 mins) but it is nice to have multiple answering machines if you have room mates.

The only main complaint i have is that its volume fluctuates and is sometimes impossible to hear people. I am starting to think this is unique to my phone however. just a manufacturers flaw.

The other con is that the speaker/talk feature buttons are a little bass ackwards. as in, to talk to some one on speaker you hit speaker. and to talk to some one normally you hit talk.
this doesnt sound bad but every other phone i have ever touched had you push speaker to turn it on, and push speaker to turn it off. instead this phone hangs up. but you get use to it after a while i guess.

Not a bad phone, just mad at the volume problems.
