Handset would not register with base
Four different adults read the instructions, and not one of them could get this handset to register with the base. I'm going to send it back.

nice look, convenient, a little flimsy
I purchased three of these phones to add to the wall unit I have in my kitchen. I like many of the features but the intercom is my favorite: it has reduced my yelling instructions across the house to the kids. My only complaint is that the base is so light that when you attempt to place the phone back in it, it falls over. You must hold the back of the base unit in order to reconnect the phone. It's a little irritating when you're in a hurry and can take a number of attempts before it connects. Also, because it takes a little extra effort, my kids fail to put it back so then a phone hunt is necessary. The search feature makes ALL the phones beep...not a great idea.

In terms of esthetics, it has a very nice appearance. The instruction manual is one of the most ridiculous I've ever encountered. Instead of being a booklet, it's a HUGE piece of paper that completely covered my kitchen table.

Cordless Answering Machine Phones Review
I bought this product and am really impressed with the quality and functions of it. For the price, this is the best buy I have found in a add on cordless phone system with answering machine.

GE DECT Phone
Great service from the vendor. The phone is what I had expected, since I have the base station. It is stylish, and the call quality is good. Just like the phone on the base station, the readout has somewhat small numbers, and lacks the intensity and brightness of newer DECT phones, such as a color display one from Philips that I also own.

I do recommend this product.
