GE 29385GE1 Corded Phone with Speakerphone and Call Waiting Caller ID Reviews
I was having trouble finding a phone to meet my needs that would replace one that was dying. I have to turn on a nearby lamp when the phone rings to see who is calling. Otherwise, it's a nice basic corded phone. The speaker is not the best, and I don't think I would use it for actual conversation, but it is fine for listening to my voicemail, which is what I wanted. This simple phone fits the bill almost perfectly. The only thing that disappoints me about this phone is that there is no light on the caller ID screen. It does what it says it will do - no more, but no less.
It seems well made, but I haven't had it long enough to be able to have a sense of it's long-term value. I am pleased with this phone, though I have yet to explore any of it's features. I was a bit peeved that I had to purchase an ultra-short cord from Radio Shack in order to use the phone as a wall phone. But that's a minor issue.
Like someone else wrote, there is no light on the LCD screen and the handset is too small. I even changed the batteries. I unplugged it and put it back and it tried that a few times, even put it in another jack. Don't buy it. I dont know if i'll ever figure out what is wrong with it. When I got home I realized that this phone did something strange and even though it was plugged in and on the hook, it was still causing my line to be busy. The line was busy for hours.
I Have no idea what was wrong with it but it won't work. I'm very disappointed in the phone. Phone worked great for the first 2 weeks i had it then all of a sudden one day I went to work and tried to call home.
I've spent more on other phones that didn't work near as well with my hearing aids. Volume controls could go a little higher but still a good caller-id speaker phone. GE 29385GE1 Corded Phone with Speakerphone and Call Waiting Caller ID. Phone works very well. We live in a very open and windy area and no-corded phones sparkle and crackle a lot.
No one else commented on this, so not sure if I have a defective item or not, but I specifically bought it for the backlit display, so it's going back. I see that another GE model, 29369GE1, is backlit according to some reviewers, so I'm going to give that one a try. Rated a one for bum product info. Despite what the description says, the display on this model is not backlit. At least not the one I received. Even the GE product spec sheet from their own web site says backlit, but it is not.
