Stainless Steel-Look Phone
The phone works fine but was not as easy to set up as others I've had.
It's not as solid as others, somewhat flimsy to handle.

wall mountable but not on standard wall mount jack
Like many people we were looking for a cordless phone with answering machine that we could mount in a attractive manner on the wall of our kitchen. This phone from GE is the only one I could find that can sit flush against the wall.

For some reason this phone does not fit the standard wall phone jack on which you normally hang a wall mount phone (the kind with mounting studs that stick out from the wall). GE does not mention this in their literature. If you try to use the standard wall mount jack only one of the two screws heads will fit in the slots on the back of the phone and the phone will wiggle around. I did figure out a solution though. The spacing between the mounting slots on the phone is 3-5/16" (instead of the standard ~ 4") which the same as the spacing between the screws that are used to mount the phone jack itself to the box in the wall. So I replaced my existing phone jack with one that lacked mounting studs and had screws visible (no snap-on cover plate). I did not fully tighten the screws that attach the phone jack to the box in the wall, leaving just enough room for the phone to slide on. The result is that our phone now sits tight to the wall.

Have not had the phone very long (1 week). The sound quality is good. We like that it displays the number of messages on the machine. Also, the ringer volume can be adjusted to be anywhere from very quiet to quite loud. One minor complaint -- if you push the pager button on the base unit (perhaps to locate a misplaced handset), all handsets will beep loudly until a button is pushed on any one of the handsets. This could be a problem if one of your handsets is located in an area where someone is sleeping.

What did you expect?
Phone works fine, no interference. Looks nice despite the fact it's plastic. Lightweight. Small handset. Mounting issues presented small problem. Products like this should allow for standard mounting. Flashing light for messages....no audible message alert....may cause some delay in noticing messages waiting. Only one ringer sound. Sort of like a sound effect on the Jetsons. You get used to it tho. Better than a lot of downloaded cell phone ringtones I've heard around town.
