Inexpensive and works well.......2007-09-14
It is excellent for what it claims to be. It was inexpensive and works perfectly. It is flimsy though, light weight plastic and the ear phone piece comes off easily accidentally.
A decent item for the price.......2007-07-08
I bought this answering machine to replace my faithful old Panasonic cassette machine, which finally expired after 18 years. I found the directions easy enough to follow and the machine works well. The only only downside I've seen so far is that the handset is much too vulnerable to whooshing sounds if you make the mistake of breathing near the mouthpiece. I'm thinking of putting one of those foam covers on it that they use on microphones. Aside from that, no problems and I'd recommend it.
I Haven't Had Any Problems With GE Phone.......2007-07-03
I've had my GE Corded phone for several months now, and it is still working fine. I was surprised to read all of the negative reviews. I'm glad that I had purchased mine before reading the reviews. I keep my pnone on my desk, and all that I can say is that everything on it works perfect.
don't buy.......2007-06-27
We bought this corded phone (model: 29897GE2-A, date code: 6538KT) after having reliability issues with cheap cordless phones. The phone works, but the digital answering system is worthless. The system had worked fine for a few months, as far as we could tell. Now when someone calls, either they get "message box full" (despite there being *no* messages) or the unit resets and they get hung up on.
We've since removed the power, reducing the unit to a regular phone.
don't buy this phone.......2007-06-08
I bought this phone, model number 29897GE2-A, you don't want to. 1) The phone just goes into a mode where the phone says the message box is full, but there are no messages in it. My friends keep having to tell me they could not leave a message because of this. 2) the phone does not have a internal battery for power drops, so every thime the power goes out all the programming is lost. 3) I have and the phone does not get the time from the phone line, It just blinks 12:00. This items gets 1 star because there isn't a zero star option.

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!
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 ****!!!
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!
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.
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!

Good!.......2007-05-31
I bought this to replace my old cordless telephone that didn't have a speakerphone. It worked great until I replaced it with a newer GE model. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is that when the power goes out, it's very sensitive: it will wake me up in the middle of the night with the answering system on and it saying: "Press MEMO key to receive setup instructions." It doesn't have modern features like handset speakerphone and melody ringers like my current GE EDGE phone does, but it is good enough!
Nice!.......2006-09-30
I got it as a gift! I LOVE IT! The reason I only gave it 4 stars is that it doesn't have modern features like, handset speaker phone, melody ringers, thiness, and more! The feature I like about it is that it has a digital answering system. It's an exact sibling to the GE 25858GE3, but the 25858GE3 has an analog answering machine. It's overall nicer than most!
Durability is medium.......2006-06-22
Since all of the current models are too new to really rate on durability, I'm rating one of this phones predecessors on durability. I bought a GE 2.4 GHz cordless about 2-3 years ago (Model 27939GE3-A). About two years ago the handset buttons would double tone, meaning that if you press it once, it dials that tone twice.
About a year ago the handset buttons would not sound a tone at all sometimes.
Now it is a struggle to dial using the handset, particurlarly on certain keys. And when you finally do get it, sometimes it does it twice.
Also, the tones are too short for some voicemail or automated menus/directories.
Not loud enough.......2005-12-17
A very nice standard phone with everything I need. I like the handfree function (speaker). But a lot of times I feel the volume doesn't go up high enough for me to hear especially when I am talking out of my house.

No volume.......2006-12-27
Shape good. Speaker phone convenient.
Words rubbed off like other guy said.
Clock gains about 30 sec a day.
Cannot stress how bad the volume is. We have to keep telling other people to speak up. Oddly, this does not happen on every call, just many. Volume on speaker phone is usually much better (although, then the dial tone is horribly loud).
All right.......2006-03-16
Two months old: words have rubbed off face! good range, good reception, low volume, great price, great answering machine, two dial pads (plus for the wife), shape feels nice in hand.
