Customer Review: Fantastic Phone, But Receiver Doesn't Fit Base Securely
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought two of these phones at a store in Greenville, Maine while traveling because I was so taken with the idea of a large caller ID and large buttons. The phone is really great,super easy to dial and you can read the caller ID from a few feet away. There are other great features too: the speaker phone is incredibly easy to use and very very clear, the volume has a graphic display in the caller ID (also a great thing), there is a mute button and also the caller ID is easy to scroll (and easy to delete calls). You can also flash over from one call to another quickly. This is a great phone and a bargain for $25. But...
But the receiver does not fit well into the base unit (as others have pointed out repeatedly) and you can leave the phone off the hook VERY easily without knowing it (and the alarm tone is so quiet you won't hear it warning you that it is off the hook). For that reason, you have to check to be sure it's hung up--every time. It's not a big deal, but you have to be careful replacing the receiver. It DOES fit well if you place it carefully and don't bump it. That has unfortunately happened to me several times. I hang up the phone in my office (but apparently haven't sat it well in the base) and go to my den to use the other phone and find out the other phone isn't hung up. So you have to trek to the other base and hang it up properly. You learn after a few times, but still, a pain.
GE needs to fix this annoying flaw and they'll have one of the best phone bargains on the market. I have to say that based on how much I love the other features of this phone I would buy more of them--it is a great phone and, while it's only a phone, it's nice to have a phone I actually like.
If only GE read the Amazon reviews and fixed the one flaw.
Also: Amazon Alert! Have you noticed how many items are priced at $24.99 so you miss free shipping by one penny? You are forced to buy a second item to get the free shipping. Hey, Amazon, we spend a lot of money here: how about raising the price to $25 and get past this silly game?
