using with digital phone/voip.......2007-11-20
We got this phone for free with sunrocket (voip service) and have had it for about 2 years now. It is a great phone and we're really happy with it. It doesn't interfere with our wifi connection, and it has a decent talk time. We're using it with digital phone (through AT&T) and it is still going strong. Functional and practical!
Speaker phone was not loud enough.......2007-08-28
I returned this item about 30 minutes after purchasing it. I thought that the speaker phone was not loud enough. I really could not hear much unless I was a foot away from the phone. Also, the answering machine does not have a delete key. This probably is not an issue, as there is probably a way to delete the messages. I think the VTech phone that sells for 80 has a much louder and clearer speaker phone.
SHOCKINGLY TERRIBLE.......2007-06-06
When you spend this much money on a "high tech" phone from a "reputable" big corp, you at least expect the phone to work adequately. This phone is SO bad
in every way. Muddy sound, horrible range, static, poor battery life. Just SHOCKINGLY TERRIBLE. Run...dont walk...away from this phone. The "EDGE" version of this phone is EVEN WORSE.
Excellent clarity, good value, doesn't interfere w wireless network.......2007-05-02
I bought three sets of these phones, one for myself and two for other people. The clarity is excellent and there is no inteference with my wireless network.
These phone are attractive, light weight and easy to use. The buttons have large numbers and they are spaced out enough that you won't "fat finger" the wrong numbers. The menu system is also intelligently designed and easy to use.
In general, I have always been happy with GE phones. My last phone was a GE and it lasted for years. Similarly, at the time it was also a good value for the money. However, I noticed a big difference in clarity when I replaced it with this.
worst ever.......2007-04-18
This is the worst phone I have EVER owned. The reception was so bad no one on the other end could hear me talking unless I held very still and tried not to breathe. Not worth the money we saved, took it back and got a Uniden 5.8, and it rocks!!

Buyer beware with this phone.......2007-07-26
I have had SEVERAL cordless phones in the past, very few lasting any length of time. The last V-tech I had was AWESOME. Not wanting to spend a large amount of money I opted for this phone. HUGE mistake. The answering machine is awful - either cutting messages off or garbling them so as not to understand a word of it. The handsets are full of static - my callers always indicate that I am fading out so I am constantly repeating things to them. Very Annoying. I have had the phone for about 3 months and am going out tomorrow to replace it with a V-Tech product. Please be careful when purchasing this item.
Great sound quality -- well regarded by the Consumer Reports.......2007-05-17
I consulted the Consumer Reports before purchasing this phone because I have had wireless phones in the past that were just awful. This phone was reported to have great sound quality and was easy to use -- both things I have found to be true. Another reason I chose this phone was because the frequency did not interfere with my Apple Airport Expess wireless device.
This phone does not have a speaker button on the handset so if this is important to you may have to look elsewhere.

Poor Sound, I mean really poor.......2007-06-25
Have some older GE phones that work great but this is an inferior product.
Sound is poor both sending and receiving----
Would have given zero stars on this one.
Poor Range, Short Battery Life.......2007-05-23
October 2006 I purchased two of these phones based upon the recommendation from Consumer Reports. Right next to the base they are fine, however, walk outside or into the garage you can hear static and the person on the line says "you are cutting out".
They recently both stopped working within a week of each other. The battery is supposed to last for three years. It's been seven months!
Look elsewhere.......2007-04-22
This phone has horrible sound quality. The range is even worse.
Not much to say but if you get it, you'll have an expensive paper weight.
GE Cordless Phone with 2 Handsets.......2007-03-28
After talking for several minutes on second phone, must move closer to the base unit because my voice fades.
This phone is horrible...very disappointed for a GE product.......2007-03-05
This phone has terrible audio qualities, both in terms of being able to hear who you are talking to, and also their ability to hear you. The sounds in the phone are very muffled, and the strength of the signal fades in and out. Automatic call-back feature is difficult to program, as with many of the other features. Spent way too much on this phone...and I think Consumer Reports actually gives it a good rating. Don't be fooled, this phone is terrible.

Frustrating experience.......2007-06-06
I switched to these 5.8 phones when we moved into a larger home. We would get interference between the phones, the wireless network, and the wireless intercom system. I have had nothing but problems with them.
1) The buttons don't press! You will, for example, press the number 7, it will register on the phone's LED screen as a number that you pressed, but it will sometimes NOT ACTUALLY dial that number. So if you dial 555-1212, often, you may have only really dialed 55112. Frustrating.
2) Secondly, the speaker phone function is difficult to use. You dial your number, (if you can miraculously get all 7 numbers to register),then switch to speaker phone. You hear your caller through the speaker. It's time to pick up the handset and listen. So you hit speaker again? Nope! It's disconnected. (Then you have to try to dial again...Uggggh!) You have to go back to talk to get to the handset. Then talk again to disconnect. Uer error, I know. But after 6 months, I still forget that function.
3) Handsets and bases.... You need to program each handset to the proper base, and mark them. So your kitchen base will only work with the kitchen handset you originally registered it to. The family room handset can not be charged on the kitchen base. If you mix them up, the handsets malfunction.
4) Ergonomics. I don't have chubby cheeks, but still manage to hang up on my callers when my cheek inadvertantly touches the talk button. (Then I have to try to dial again....frustrating!)
5) Sound quality is poor. Static is present no matter where I sit, stand or position myself in relationship to the base.
Giving up on this system today and finding a better one!
Very Clear.......2007-05-12
This phone has very good reception. I would suggest buying this phone the second handset is a plus. I have one in my bedrood and the second handset in my guest room.
fading phone conversations.......2007-04-03
This phone system was easy to set up, and we liked the physical aspects of the phone, especially the small footprint. Upon use, however, we found that the phones would fade, and eventually drop calls. This issue was not a distance or interference issue, as the dropped calls would occur with the handset in the same room of our residence as the base station. This happened on several occasions, with either handset. We returned the phone system and went with another manufacturer, and as a result, we don't know if this was anamolous behavior, or if it is a common problem with this phone.
GE Edge Cordless phones okay for the price, I guess........2007-02-02
I was disappointed to find that both phones can't be used at the same time as with a real extension. So both you and the wife can't be on the phone at the same time talking to Dad - one has to hang up for the other to get on. Also, they seem to lose their ability to recognize the system, and have to be re- set - a simple process but annoying to have to do more than once. And they are cheaply constructed. But they work - so I guess I can't really complain too much considering the price.
Speakerphone, what a JOKE!.......2007-01-19
I bought this phone really for it's speakerphone capability, or lack thereof I have come to realize, and will be returning it as soon as I get another one to replace it. The reception for the handset is also sub par. I'm quite shock because GE is known for making pretty reliable phones.

GE 5.8 cordless phone.......2007-06-20
I have found no customer support for these phones - When we moved and plugged them in - they will ring but you can't answer them - cannot call out on them either. The ringer is irritating and there are only 3 choices.
Stay away from this one! .......2006-11-07
We must have the worst bad luck when it comes to phones and this purchase did nothing to help that situation. There is only one ring tone, and it has an exceptionally irritating high pitched tone. Worse, there is no way to turn the ringer volume down, it's on or off and on is very loud. There is also a problem with the way the dialing works. Sometimes, it seems the numbers to not go through. You can see that you have dialed the proper numbers on the LCD screen, but the call does not go through. Particularly annoying when entering numbers for a PIN for voicemail for example, or following prompts from automated call services.
Extremely disappointed.
Poor Audio, No Call Transfer.......2006-03-11
These phones look great. But one had poor audio, with callers saying I sounded like I was in a cave. The other sounded OK, but had a lag between when you pushed the answer button and when you could actually talk. Also, you can't tell someone to pick up the extension if the call is for them. Only one phone can be on at one time. The three selectable ring tones are all poor. I returned these phones.
No Good!.......2006-02-10
These phones are ridiculously hard to hear. I have a daycare in my home and I need a phone I can hear over the dull roar of my house!! This one isn't it!
Seemed nice at first.......2005-12-24
When I first got this phone set it seemed nice, but that quickly changed. The talk button on the handsets is so sensitive that holding it too tightly to your face will hang up the call. My wife and I have each done this at least a dozen times now. Also the phones redial mode is awkward, it is suppose to know long distance based on Caller ID but it fails to dial correctly half of the time. The phone sometimes will also "lock up". The hand set becomes unresponsive and needs to be placed on the base for a few seconds to reset itself. I am already planning on buying another phone from another company.

Garbage.......2007-03-10
I received this phone set as a gift. After four months the audio on the first phone died out along with with keybad and then the recall button. The second phone soon followed suit two months later. What garbage. All from a company that builds airplane engines.
Not worthed.......2006-12-30
I bought the set a year ago and the battery is already dead. I can't leave them out of the charger so whats the point of being cordless. GE really sunked it this time. Better sell this division because is hurting the image I had of the company. Don't buy this product. If you have an excellent experience with a phone please comment so I can buy it.
Voice Quality Isn't Good.......2006-10-01
I bought this phone because Consumer Reports rated it "excellent" for voice quality. Not! There was a lot of echo and a tinny quality, which changing channels only helped somewhat. I didn't have a problem with distance from the base, but I may have returned it too quickly to discover that.
This phone is a piece of junk!! I was so diappointed in GE!.......2006-04-04
My other phone was getting old and I needed a replacement. I thought the idea of the extra handset was great. I bought the phone and set it up. I was not that pleased with the reception but lost the receipt so I figured I'd keep using it. Well, the distance stunk, couldn't get more than 20 feet away from the base and the static and crackle was horrible. Then the buttons on one handset would not work properly. I was down to one handset because the first one was junk. I will never buy another General Electric cordless phone as I feel like I threw away $80.00! I have since replaced this phone with a Vtech which is wonderful! Difference of night and day! Don't buy this GE phone unless you want to waste your money!
Terrible! Comes accross baby monitor Clear as Day!.......2006-02-04
I purchased this phone in hopes of finding one that eliminates backround noise. Backround noise is terrible and it transmitts clear as a bell on my baby monitor. It is going back to the store, or in the garbage! Terrible!
