Digital camera reviews of GE Cordless 5.8 GHz Digital 28031EE3 Phone with 3 Handsets, Caller ID and Digital Answering System
Digital camera Review: Love that button
Summary: 4 Stars
I recently purchased this set of phones for a second time, I've had them for about a year an a half when suddenly the LCD caller ID display ceased to work on two out of three phones, other reviews said that replacement batteries were not available but I don't even know if that would have helped the issue. Regardless, there is a "do not disturb" button on the answering machine that deactivates all three ringers with one push of a button, as someone who works nites and doesnt like to be woken up at 8am by solicitors it is a Godsend, enough so that I purchased the whole system again! Hoping to squeak two years out of these...Digital camera Review: La distancia de alcance es muy pobre
Summary: 3 Stars
Tengo instalada la base del telefono en la sala de mi casa, y tengo una extension en mi habitaci?n, cuando cerramos la puerta la se?al se pierde, si me muevo muy lejos de la base tambien se pierde la se?al o empieza a tener fallos. Realmente el rango de alcance es muy debil y no me ha gustado.
Por otro lado, la presentaci?n del equipo es muy buena, las funciones son excelentes, lo unico malo es que no tiene una bateria para mantener la memoria de la hora y el dia en la contestadora, ya que si hay un fallo en la energia electrica o se desconecta la fuente de voltaje se borra la fecha y la hora y hay que estar reprogramandolo cada vez que uno lo mueve o le va a hacer alguna limpieza.
Digital camera Review: Nothing outstanding about this phone
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this phone thinking the GE name would mean a superior product, but after a brief usage, I put it back in the box and returned it.
THE FORGETTING CLOCK
My biggest problem for me is that I live in Orlando, the lightning capital of America. During hurricane season, our power goes out--even for 5 seconds--several times a week. On this phone that means the clock resets to midnight Sunday. Setting the clock is a time consuming and annoying process where you have to hold the hour button while it cycles, hour by hour, from Sunday midnight until the hour you are. If it's Saturday at 10pm, you'll be waiting a while. Then you do the same with the minute button. (In fact, it was so time consuming to set the clock that I wasn't willing to get the time right the first time; why would I want to do it over and over again knowing my efforts would be in vain?)
THE TALKING PHONE. How do I say "Stop talking! I got it!"?
Another frustrating thing is that the phone assumes your power never goes out, so you will plug it in only once. Once you plug it in, the phone says--loudly--"Press Review to hear setup instructions." Problem is, with 50+ power outages a year, I can assure you I do not want to hear that a foot from my head at 3am after a power outage!
I do not know if the phone also loses it's outgoing message after a power outage.
WHAT HANDSET?
I was willing to overlook those problems if the phone was of good phone quality, but that was not the case either. The first phone call I took I could not get the remote handset to work. Probably my own fault, but I could be forgiven because after several readings of the instructions, I could not find the one that told me how to do that.
OH, YOU WANTED TO "TALK" TO THE PERSON?
Since I could not get the remote handset to work, I raced to the base handset. But alas, I could hardly hear the caller. So I picked up my emergency phone--the non-cordless one--and could hear the caller perfectly.
ONE SIZE FITS ALL
Finally, as if the technical issues were not enough to sink this whole phone set, the instructions were very long. There was no "First things first" other than plugging in for 16 hours. For example, the first thing I would want to do after charging would be to teach the base to recognize the two remote handsets, but after a long review of the instructions, I could not find that. It's in there I'm sure, but where? There were lots of instructions for advanced features I'll never use, but the basics were buried.
Overall, I can't find one positive thing about this phone set, and have already spent far more time on it than I ever wanted to.
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: This phone is ok, but thats all.
Summary: 3 Stars
This phone is ok. Its great having the three receivers but the sound quality is awful. The best way to hear someone your talking to is to use the speaker phone option. It you leave it off the base overnight the battery will run out and it will have to be recharged, but with three receivers this is really not a problem. If you get really annoyed with poor sound quality, do not buy this phone. Using the speaker is not a problem for me, others might not find it so. For the price, getting the three phones including the answering system is a good deal but, if I had it to do over; I would not buy this phone.
