Customer Reviews of GE 5.8GHz Cordless Phone with Digital Answering System (25893GE3)

Inconsistent sound quality mars an otherwise bargain phone
This phone is comfortable to hold and the base station is relatively compact. And the sound quality is OFTEN decent. However, there've been too many times in which there's weird static when I speak... and I think this may be due to the phone being sneakily 5.8 *AND* 2.4ghz (and I have a wireless network). Indeed, I find this to be really misleading advertising! Why is the phone trumpeted as 5.8ghz when it uses both the 5.8 and 2.8ghz bands? Given the number of people with wireless networks nowadays, I think this should be prominently mentioned on any spec list (and I didn't discover it until I looked in the manual -- too late for pre-purchase decisions!)

The phone I got had an echo
I got this phone and returned it the next day. It had a very annoying echo when you spoke. I dont know if I got a defective unit or if it's a design flaw because I opted to get another phone instead.

Note that I have a wireless network in my apartment, so who knows if that had any effect one the phone; however I have another 2.4ghz Panasonic that works just fine.

Excellent Choice
We've had this phone about a month and it works wonderfully. Reception and sound is great. Clear as a bell. Phone is easy to use and easy to program. We were looking for a basic phone and answering machine with good voice quality. With this phone, we were pleased that it had the basics plus several extras. The keypad on the handset is backlit - it's blinks in red when the phone rings. You can operate the answering machine using the handset. Range is excellent. Again, it was wonderful to find a phone that had excellent voice quality. No background noise, static or interference of any kind. With our personal preferences, we did find one minor issue: When the ringer is on low it's still a bit loud. Overall, can't beat the quality and price in today's market of unreliable cordless phones. GE has done an excellent job. Highly recommned.
