 I really like this phone February 21, 2006

I've owned this phone for almost two years now, and didn't have to replace the battery for well over a year of ownership. A couple of months ago I noticed the 'sticky' button isssue in the cordless handset that others have mentioned. In fact, none of my number buttons worked at all on the cordless unit. However, I liked features of the phone so much that I decided it was worth trying to fix. There were a couple of screws holding the handset together, and a couple more holding the PC board on inside--it was easy to get to the keypad and I discovered an oily substance between the back of the button pad and the pc board that relays the electrical signals. I cleaned the back of the button pad and the board off with Windex and let them dry thoroughly before reassembling. My handset works like new again, and it was really easy. Since the phone was nearly two years old when I had the first problem, I can't really complain. I've owned other phones I disliked right out of the box!
 Too annoying for me June 24, 2004

This phone is lacking a very important feature; a flashing light to tell you that you have a message waiting! Instead you have to physically walk over to the phone constantly and view the display. Our previous GE corded phone had such a light which was such an obviously needed feature that I just assumed this model would too.
Another very annoying attribute of this phone is that it makes a loud beep each time you press a button to dial a number. Its so loud that everyone in the house will know that your making a call. Its too bad, every home needs one corded phone, but this one is just too annoying for everyday use.

I have had this phone for a little over a year now. At first it seemed to be pretty good, but not a few months later the battery would not hold a charge and had to be replaced. Another big issue, is that the #1 and # 2 buttons on the cordless phone either don't work at all, or when they do work it dials the number twice.
Cordless Unit Battery Does Not Hold Charge July 2, 2005

Bought in July 2004, but won't pay freight and so forth to try to collect on warranty after reading other reviews. Nothing but problems holding charge in the battery. Replaced original battery about a month ago, followed instructions precisely for new charge, ok for about one week, and now back to not holding a charge. Useless Junk.

Bought this phone last night. So far, I am pleased with it. I received a call on the corded base, and sound quality was really good.
I used the cordless extension to call my elderly, hard-of-hearing grandmother and she told me that on her end I sounded crystal clear and loud enough for her to make out every word.
My only current complaint is the faint clicking sound in the background as the cordless stays in touch with the base.I'll write another review in a few weeks or so if there are any new developments (ie, short battery life as other reviewers mentioned).
