GE 25840 5.8 GHz Twin 1-Line Cordless Phone

Apparently I'm the black sheep here. I too bought this phone based on the Consumer Reports review and I've been pleased with it for many years. It's been reliable and, although I rarely leave it off the charger, the batteries only started giving out...

This phone crapped out on us after just a year or so. Caller ID stopped working, and it doesn't ring when people call. Total waste of money.

Cost

Doesn't work as advertised.

The price is great. Having the two phone bases works well. The voice quality seems to be on par with the other phones I have had. Range is about average

I was unaware that I would not be able to use both phones at once. Not a big deal, but wish I would have known that. They have a transfer button to switch between phones

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...

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...

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...
