GE Corded Retro Phone with Call Waiting/Caller ID Reviews
Getting used to the phone buttons has been a challenge. It looks good. . So I went with this one, because it's retro and has caller id. That works for me.
One thing noted is that this says GE but the phone actually says RCA, so I don't know if mine is a left over from some merger, but it works great and has good sound. . They are not. One of the big concerns I read here was about it being too light and pulling it off the table. What more can one ask from a phone. The typical ones I've been buying at store, never last and the trimline look is so dated.
It works. In fact, if you want to move it closer, you can't pull it with the cord, you've got to reach over and pick it up. But I don't do that much dialing on this phone anyway.
The reviews here had me a bit concerned, but I needed a phone for the family room. And I certainly never have to dial in a big hurry. I knew that they would not be in little rows like trimline phones, but I guess I assumed they would be set like dial phones of days of old. Well, they must have fixed that, because this is somehow engineered on the bottom so that it doesn't move. I bought this phone about a month ago with my fingers crossed.
I really liked the style of the retro phone which was my reason for purchasing it. The sound quality is great and the caller id feature brings it into the 21st century. Other than that it is a great phone and it doesn't take up a lot of desk space. The dailing is the only thing you will need to get used to because it is not like your normal touch pad.
I am happy it works for what I needed it for Works fine, they are light phones.
I used to have only portable phones that required electricity to work. I have one on each floor of my home. This little guy plugs into my land line and works during power outages. It uses batteries for the caller ID feature, but functions as a phone without the batteries or any other power souce.
It rings when someone calls. Of course I put new energizer batteries in it, I plugged it up right. You get a dial tone.
The Phone looks great. But oops, no one can hear you when you are talking. Hope I get one that actually works.
I called the 1-800 # to ask what might be wrong. It has to be the part you talk into. I'm sending it back.
You can hear them but they can't hear you. You can dial out.
