I got this phone for my 87-yo father, who needed to replace his old cordless phone. It's very similar to his last GE phone, which is the same one I have, too. It's simple, works well, and is user-friendly, which is important for someone his age -- or to anyone who values simplicity in this era of technologically-bewildering products. Although it has some nice features, it's not loaded down with all the bells and whistles that can make you want to pull your hair out.

I would definitely recommend this product to someone looking for a simple, functional cordless phone.

and that's good. I bought this for a friend of mine because I was tired of her phone giving out on our conversations after an hour. We talk every week and I'm out of state so it was a real challenge dealing with her old phone which was just crappy. This one got to her house in 2 days. It's very clear and works great. It didn't cost an arm and a leg either.

This is a simple phone with no bells or whistles. This is my second one because my dog decided to eat the first one when I had it laying on the couch. Bonuses are that is is relatively inexpensive and I can leave the house and go out into the garage and still have reception. Only negative I have found is that there must be something tasty in the phone because my dog really enjoyed destroying it. :)

The phone works just fine, but I've had it less than 6 months and it doesn't want to hold a charge anymore. It gives warning beeps in less than 5 minutes after having charged all night. Now. . . Do I buy a new battery for $[...] bucks or just get a new phone?
