1 out of 5 stars Why do companies bother making such junk???.......2008-01-01

We bought two of these phones for our parents and are having the same problems listed with the other reviews for this same model. And, it looks like their reviews are over a year old. Can't believe that a company would continue making, let alone selling, such a piece of junk! Just goes to show -- check for reviews *before* your purchase. Ours are going back. What's the use in having an answering machine that doesn't work?? Shame on you GE!

1 out of 5 stars Don't buy this piece of Junk!!.......2006-10-26

Save your money and don't buy this piece of junk. Ours stopped working after about three months. A real piece of ****!!!

1 out of 5 stars Complete waste of money!.......2006-10-20

This phone stopped working after a week. First, the machine would record half of a message. Next, it started combining messages from various people. Then, it just stopped recording altogether. It would play the outgoing message, and even beep, but NO MESSAGE. We forwarded all calls to our mobile and ordered a Uniden - thank goodness, no problems with that one! Don't waste your money!

1 out of 5 stars Too many red flashing lights.......2006-09-09

I bought this phone because I wanted an answering machine with a red flashing indicator to remind me to listen for messages - because I always forget to check. They sent me a slightly different phone - because of the colour - white GE29893. It works fine and the answering function is unproblematic. Two problems - firstly there are two indicator lights which flash red - one for messages and one for calls - so everytime someone calls it starts flashing and I have to delete the call record. Of course it ends up that the thing is always flashing and I still forget to check for messages. It is also a little quiet - hard to hear the person calling - even with the volume on full. I wish I had bought a less complicated phone.

1 out of 5 stars Answering Function Does Not Work.......2006-08-22

As previous reviewer described the answering machine function simply does not work. It either answers and then hangs up, or just keeps ringing. The only option is to ship the phone back and wait up to six weeks for a replacement, sounds as those the replacement might not work either! Try another product!

      2 out of 5 stars Phone Purchase.......2007-05-12

      Phone is just O.K. The design has a flaw in the Hand Piece so that it does not hold the handpiece on the base. Just a slight movement of the base will shake the handpiece off. I would choose a different model if ever I tried to replace this phone.
