Customer Reviews of GE 6.0 Digital Call-Waiting Caller ID

Compared several phones - GE's audio very poor
I wanted a phone with the following features: <
>- didn't interfere with home WiFi network <
>- had a headset jack on the handset <
>- had a mute button <
>- had an answering machine <
>- could keep good quality while roaming 1 or 2 rooms away <
> <
>I tried two sets of GE 6.0 phones, and both suffered from faint, tinny, clipped audio. Words that were perfectly understandable on other phones were simply not there on this one. Also, the buttons aren't actually lit - the light is a ring around each button, but not the button itself. So it actually makes it HARDER to read individual buttons in a darkened room. <
> <
>I was very disappointed in this phone. <
> <
>Of those I tried: GE, Uniden, Panasonic and AT&T, the Panasonic was the best. All features work, Panasonic audio is good, and the buttons and beeps are nice and responsive. Only complaint about the Panasonic is that there is no display on the base unit to show how many answering machine messages are waiting. <

No more running
I bought the set of two telephones and completed it with a single one. <
>I placed one in every part of the house, we run a home business, so I don't have to run anymore to catch the phone. It's easy to work with. <
>I also like the nice model and color. A little flaw is the fact that the Caller ID doesn't work all the time, even not when it works on the basis phone to which the basis station of this product is connected. I found that a little odd, maybe the numbers have to be in the system first to be shown a second time? <
>What I do like is the fact that I can push a "do not disturb" button to have all the phones silenced at once. This comes in handy since we also work internationally and this way we will not be disturbed in the middle of the night. There the answering machine of our basis line will take over. Although there are a lot of options, I still didn't use of all of them but I'm sure I will do so shortly.

Horrible sound, lightweight, lights up all the time
Horrible phone. It's very lightweight and feels cheap. The handsets are not comfortable against your head or in your hand. The belt clip is short and not secure. The blue backlight comes on very frequently for no reason when the phone is at rest, creating a lot of light in a dark room. Just look at it and it lights up. Also, when it's on its base, the red charge light is always blinking, and it's a large light, and the large bright blue message light is also very obtrusive. GE makes incredibly obtrusive phones in general, however. I stopped using my 2.4ghz phone because every time I put the handset on the base it confirmed connected with a very loud beep that would wake anyone sleeping in the room. You could not shut it off. The button beeps are very loud and you can't turn the Voice volume down enough. We joke that it's a special model for the hearing impaired. These new phones, then, must be for the vision impaired. <

>This phone has lousy sound quality. There is a lot of static and echo and it sounds like you are talking to people overseas on a cell phone. This may be inherent to this new technology, but given that it's advertized as crystal clear, I don't think so. <
> <
>Due to the poor sound quality and endless light show, I've returned this phone set. <
> <
>The Vtech 5858 is a superb choice. It costs more, but works very well and has a ton of features. The handsets are a great shape, they stay clipped to your belt, and they work great with a headset (some phones have lousy headset jacks so you get poor sound with even the best headset). <
> <
>GE, I used to love your phones, but after a few bad sets, I've had it. <
> <
>There seems to be something strange about devices with blue backlights. I have a Logitech universal remote control with a blue backlight and it comes on all the time for no reason as well. As with this phone, we had to take it out of our bedroom because of the lights going off and on. You'd be surprised how much a full blue backlight can light up a room.
