Digital camera reviews of GE Cordless 5.8 GHz Digital 28031EE3 Phone with 3 Handsets, Caller ID and Digital Answering System
Digital camera Review: Don't Buy
Summary: 1 Stars
We have had this phone for a couple of years and for the most part the phone worked but the caller ID screen started losing pixels after about a year and is now illegible. The funny thing is it happened on all the phones (3) at roughly the same time, and at roughly the same rate. Now it is just annoying. We are not rough with the phone and keep in on the charger most of the time. I would not recommend this product.Digital camera Review: Excellent

I got it for a very good price and it does works great, only a few time i have feel some noise and low volume when speaking, but that's probably the phone company.Digital camera Review: GE Cordless 5.8 GHz Digital 28031EE3 Phone

These phones are very satisfactory and have many features that are quite useful.Digital camera Review: GE Cordless Phone 3 Set - Great Buy - Very Practical
Summary: 4 Stars
We are very pleased with these cordless phones. These are great if you have a limited number of phone jacks because you only need one phone jack for the set. Due to builder error, we ended up with one phone jack in our study and one in our little daughter's room. However, with the phones we are able to have one in the study, the master bedroom, and the kitchen. Plus, you can take them anywhere in the house you need to. Which means, if one runs down, you still have two that are charged. And, this also allows you to let each phone run down completely before charging, extending the battery life. Again, we are very pleased with this product because it works well for our needs.Digital camera Review: Good Find
Summary: 4 Stars
Since there hasn't been much discussion about the answering machine function, I will address that. It took a good deal of searching to find a decent cordless phone with individual mailboxes. Seems like the market for this kind of product is disappearing (not unlike "pure" PDAs) due to the plethora of cell phones and voice mail boxes.
This product has three mailboxes, each of which is connected to its own light on the base unit when there is a message in it. These lights (actually, more like individual parts of a circle) flash when there is a new message and there is a display of how many messages total there are on the base unit. You can leave yourself voice memos in any of the mail boxes.
The message quality itself is average - a little tinny but not bad. The default announcer's voice is female, robotic, and slightly annoying. You have the ability to record two outgoing messages and easily switch back and forth between them - nice for the holidays, for example.
The handsets are lightweight but slightly awkward ergonomically. You can name and choose from several different ring tones for each handset in order to distinguish them. As noted, there is a paging function that works best if the phones are all on the same floor. The product comes with three handsets and you can add another if you would like.
One feature we really like is the intercom function, which is easy to operate and makes communicating from different parts of the house much more fluid. There is also a function that allows you to monitor sound in any room there is a phone, which could be useful if you have small children... or for other purposes that are beyond the scope of this review.
I've only had the phones for about a month but in that time we haven't had any problems. Reception is good all over the house despite a wireless router, Bluetooth devices, microwave, etc. Pretty happy with the product so far.
