This Is The Better Alternative
(5 out of 5) by Mitchell E. Davis on Jul 15, 2008 (Washington, D.C. United States)If you want a phone with big buttons and a large caller ID display,this phone is for you.I originally bought the GE 29369GE1 which looks similar but it had a terrible,painful loud echo whenever I spoke.Unlike the "echo phone",this phone does not have a caller display that lights up,but it is a small price to pay for not getting blasted in the ear.Neither phone has a pedestal as the directions indicate because GE felt it served no added purpose,so don't look for it.In addition to this phone(29569GE1),I also like the GE 29581GE1 which is a smaller version with a somewhat smaller caller ID window.

a good basic desktop phone
(5 out of 5) by Dasha on Aug 26, 2008I needed a large display, big button, corded desk phone with speaker. I couldn't do any better than with the GE 29569GE1 phone. The sound quality is great whether using the handset or the speaker. The large display can be read even without my reading glasses. It has call-waiting in addition to the caller ID option. It doesn't take up a great amount of space and, in short, I am very satisfied.

No AC adapter and poor speakerphone sound quality.
(2 out of 5) by Michael J. Hough on Oct 19, 2008 (Denver, CO United States)Although this phone is very eay to use, it requires batteries and doesn't come with an AC adapter (it doesn't even have a port for an AC adapter).
When I use the speakerphone, everyone I am talking to comments on the poor sound quality (intermittent/breaking up). I have tried moving the phone to various locations, but the sound quality makes the speakerphone feature unusable.
I do like the Caller ID display and overall simplicity of the phone controls. It is easy to review, store, and delete phone numbers.

good phone for the price
(4 out of 5) by Ken Kaufman on Oct 24, 2008 (North Carolina)Phone is easy to use; large buttons are visually helpful, but are so big that they actually slow down dialing. Speaker volume is difficult to set - instructions do not clarify. If volume is turned up, then the sound becomes very distorted. LCD display is good, easily visible. Sound is reasonable on speaker and handset. Easy to store numbers and easy to dial stored numbers.
Quality seems fine for this price range --- made by Thompson, in China, for GE.
Appearance is fair - takes up a lot of desk space.

Worth the money
(5 out of 5) by R. Lessrd on Nov 7, 2008This phone is an unexpected surprise in that it performs very well for the money I paid for it . The only negative is that there's is a noise whenever you pick up the phone to make or receive a call, but it is temporary. I find the speakerphone excellent and use it for most of my calls. I would recommend the phone it has many excellent features and is very easy to use.
