I am highly pleased with this phone…. it only gliched once where no one on the other end could hear me… not sure why it happened, but i unplugged the base unit for 5 seconds… plugged it back in and it’s worked fine ever since… i recommend this phone to everyone.

Bought this phone and was VERY happy with it for about 2 days. Great set of features, like the Google 411 capability and the fact it won’t interfere with other wireless stuff in my house.
The only problem is that is has a very common issue in that it de-registers itelf from the base station continuously and has to be re-started by pulling the battery to re-register and make/anser a call. Search the internet for the model number and you will see several other people experiencing the same issue.
Mid-way through the first day of use, I pick up the phone to make a call and the handset beeps twice and is dead when I try to dial. Try dialing again, two-beeps nothing. It has de-registered itself from the base. I have to turn the phone over, open the back, pull the battery, put the battery back in, put the phone back in the phone base and wait for it to start up to make a cal. After that seems fine. A few hours later it does it again, same issue, same fix. I assume i didn’t set something up right, read the instructions, and register the devices explicitly, things seem fine, but then a few hours later, same problem. It happens at least twice per day now, sometimes when I try to make a call, sometimes when I try to answer one and I miss the incoming call.
Bought this to replace an older wireless set that was showing signs of dying. I work from home a lot and need a land line to be able to reliably dial in to conference calls for a good part of the day where my mobile wasn’t adequate (live in San Francisco and STILL couldn’t get a decent signal from AT&T, switched to Sprint and now MUCH happier, but that is a different story).
Calls to G.E. customer service proved completely useless. They are well aware of this particular problem and told me if I send it in, they will send me a new one in 4-6 weeks. They indicated it is possible the new phone might have the same problem!!!! Plus, I ‘ll have to buy a new phone for the 4-6 weeks while I wait anyway.
Just going to pitch the G.E. in the trash and make a mental note not to ever buy G.E. or Thomson

As many others have commented, this phone blows. constantly have to unplug/replug in to make it work after getting blasted in the ear with static or get the double beep. I have a corded phone and oftentimes it will ring and this one won’t. I bought the corded phone cuz it looks cool but my bf hates not having caller ID so I bought this for him just so he could check this phone’s caller ID, right? well when the corded phone rings and this doesnt he wont answer and it won’t even register who called. so he rushes to unplug/plug before it stops ringing. so lame.
another lame thing is that it doesn’t stand up

I would like to say this phone has terrible sound quality, it is difficult to understand what callers are saying. Don’t buy.

I though it was just me & my husband that hated this unit, but after reading the other reviews here, now I know we’re not the only ones who regret buying it. My husband was blaming our cable/phone provider until I showed him these reviews. I am replacing this piece of junk TODAY!
I became so frustrated with the sets “losing” each other and failing to get a dial tone for no aparent reason, that I actually slammed it against the wall in our bedroon putting a 3″ hole through the plaster, which was counter-productive as the phone unfortunately didn’t break and now I have to repaint the whole room because the color we used is discontinued…perhaps they built it to be durable since they suspected consumers would react this way.
Regardless, this phone should not be sold to any more unsuspecting consumers and pulled off the market. Perhaps it works better if you have no wireless computer items in the home such as a wireless keyboard, mouse and/or router, but I suspect many people have one or more of these. I am buying the Panasonic 6.0 wireless as it comes highly recommended by CNet reviewers.
Shame on you GE!GE 28213EE2 Dect 6.0 Advanced Cordless Phone with Google Free Directory Assistance Goog-411, CID, and 2 Handsets
