Customer Review: What a hunk of junk
Summary: 1 Stars
I read the glowing reviews on Amazon and was thrilled to have found an inexpensive phone for my mother, whose hearing is poor and whose vision could be better. However, the phone has several major flaws, and is a huge disappointment:
First, the phone is very heavy, which makes it uncomfortable to use. My mother mentioned this to me, and I had to agree with her.
Second, there are only three ringtones, all of which are high pitched and screeching, and therefore very unpleasant. My mother was appalled by the tones, as was I.
Third, when I increased the volume so that it would be more comfortable for my mother, I heard my own voice much louder than normal when I used the phone.
As if all those things were not enough, as of today (about the third day we've had the phone) there seems to be static on every channel. The manual does explain possible causes for the static, and I have not eliminated all of the potential causes, so it may be my "fault." However, I do have to wonder why the other cordless phones we have (Radio Shack brand) never suffer from static problems.
All in all this GE phone is, in my opinion, a hunk of junk. Given how little the phone cost I'm not sure it's worth the hassle and postage to return it, but I am very, very disappointed.
