 For a $10 phone it does what I would expect May 23, 2008
By now, you've probably read all of the negative reviews and so had I when I picked this phone up locally, on sale for a sawbuck. I already knew what it didn't do and that is was battery a hog. The 3-4 foot (stretched) cable is perfect for my situation as a bedside phone. A backlit caller-id window would have been nice, but not crucial to my needs, since I mostly call out from the phone and usually answer it during daylight hours. As for the 4 AA batteries it requires, I bought some Energizer NiMH rechargeables and will swap them when needed -- well worth the $12 investment. The sound in & out (I spoke with my HOH mother without any complaint from her) are both good with 3 volume adjustments & the ringer has high, low & off. The display on the caller-id improved when I cranked up the contrast in the settings. I like the black & silver color combo and it matches my RCA clock radio.
 Works With MagicJack April 22, 2008
I have MagicJack and this phone works great with it. The Caller ID will display the number, date, and time. The date and time automatically sets when you receive your first call. The bad part is once one of the 2 cords goes bad, the phone has to be trashed. There aren't any screws to open this thing up to fix anything, everything is in a plastic mold. GE doesn't make these phones. They are made by Thomson, a company notorious for making junk for RCA
 could have been fine... March 27, 2008
I was quite satisfied with this, even though the cords are non-replaceable and the display is not lighted, until I discovered that the batteries (4xAA) even alkalines only last a couple of months and when they die, the phone goes dead too. That's not acceptable, and it makes for a very expensive phone in the long run. I'm returning the one I still can return.
 The worst consumer product I have ever bought November 14, 2007

This is a classic example of General Electric's vaunted six sigma philosophy. It is clearly a six sigma product...six sigmas in bad design:
-It has 10 number memory dialing, but you can only enter the number, not the name that goes with it. You want to call your good friend Taylor? Good luck which memory location you stored the number in.
-A mentioned by others, the cord situation is a disaster.
-I bought this in Argentina, where I am currently living, but the caller ID appears to have been set up to only work in the U.S.
-It practically falls out of the cradle if you so much as look at it.
-The battery case does not stay open.
-No clue in the instructions how to set the date and clock.
In my entire life I cannot recall a single consumer product that I felt was more of a waste of money than this. When I buy from GE from now on, I'll stick to light bulbs.
This is a DREADFUL phone October 3, 2007

I don't how well it works, but I DO know that everything is HARD CORDED as in you can't replace the cords. You can't make the line connecting the jack longer without adding a connector (which never works) and you can't modify the base to handset cord, either. GE made a phone that you buy and have to use within 6 feet or so of your jack. If you're using it as a wall phone, you'd have about 18 inches of mobility.
