A VERY GOOD PHONE FOR THE MONEY.
I REALLY DON'T THINK YOU CAN GET A BETTER PHONE FOR THE MONEY THAN THIS ONE. I BOUGHT IT ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND IT HAS WORKED JUST FINE SO FAR. IT IS EVEN BETTER THAN OUR PREVIOUS PHONE WHICH WAS MORE EXPENSIVE BUT NOT NEARLY AS NICE AND WAS BIGGER AND BULKIER. I LIKE THAT WHEN THIS PHONE IS ON THE CRADLE CHARGING IT STANDS UP AND FACES *OUTWARD* SO THAT YOU CAN SEE WHO'S CALLING WITHOUT EVEN REACHING FOR THE PHONE. ALSO I'VE NOTICED THAT THE NAME AND NUMBER ACTUALLY SHOW UP *BEFORE* THE FIRST RING COMES IN. (GREAT FOR IF YOU NEED TO SREEN YOUR CALLS LIKE WE DO!) ALSO THE CLARITY HAS BEEN GREAT. THERE HAVE BEEN NO PROBLEMS THERE AT ALL. THIS IS A NICE BASIC PHONE WITH EVERYTHING YOU NEED AND NOTHING YOU DON'T NEED. IT IS A NICE COMPACT UNIT SO IT WON'T TAKE UP MORE ANY MORE SPACE THAN IT SHOULD. AND FOR 15 BUCKS YOU JUST CAN'T GO WRONG! I REALLY, REALLY LIKE THIS PHONE. IT'S PROBABLY THE BEST ONE I'VE EVER HAD. I HIGHLY RECCOMEND IT. 5 BIG STARS.
Failing Batteries in 90 days
After just 3 months this phone's batteries are already failing! This is now the second cordless in a row I've bought with short-lived batteries. The other was a Panasonic that cost around $20.
Even with it's low $14.99 price tag, the GE Cordless 2.4 GHz 27831FE1 Phone has proven to be a bad bargain. We could get a new set of batteries with GE's one year warranty, but this phone may not be worth keeping.
Its low-contrast, badly lit LCD is so hard to read, it's sometimes almost useless. This may be good excuse to go find a better phone.
The moral to this review is that a good brand name does not assure quality and a low price does not guarantee economy.
Dissappointed customer
I purchased this telephone in October 2006 and as of today, 1/9/2007, this telephone no longer functions. I have purchased a replacement phone of a different brand........
