Take notes, surf the Web, or iron a shirt while also talking over the phone with this GE two-line deluxe speakerphone. Ideal for home offices, the simple corded design ensures a reliable, smooth connection, while the built-in speakerphone--which boasts an adjustable volume control--keeps the chatter flowing while you complete other tasks. The phone comes with two lines, so you can conduct conference calls or talk with one client while another waits on hold. Each line also includes its own distinctive ringer and line status light, along with an electronic hold that releases automatically. p The phone does more than just provide a venue for conversation, however. It also sports a convenient data port for connecting a modem, fax, or answering machine in place of the second phone line. To receive faxes on either line, for instance, the user merely switches the data port switch to line one or two, then waits for the transmission. You can also switch the data port to one line while talking on the other, ensuring that your conversation flows steadily without interruption. p When you're on a call, the LCD screen displays the precise length of each conversation--a useful feature when tracking billable hours. Meanwhile, the speed-dial memory includes space for 32 separate entries with 32 digits each. Additional features include one-touch redial, compatibility with hearing aids, and a 19-volt battery backup that preserves the phone settings in case of power failure.

 Speaker Phone Problems March 3, 2003
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Serious problem. The volume buttons do not function properly. In the middle of a conference call on speakerphone, the volume goes straight to it highest settting. Pushing the down volume button doesn't do anything. The reset option also does not work. However, sometimes it does work. I find that that this happens many many times. I really liked this phone until this unreliable feature is one. SO dissapointed, as I bought it for the speakerphone. May be a result of not using batteries as hinted at in the previous reviews. I am taking my phone back today. Can't anyone make a quality product anymore? This is ridiculuous.
 GE 29438GE2 Two Line Deluxe Speaker Phone January 17, 2003

I have actually owned several of this model. The main problem I've had with them is the speaker failing after 6 to 8 months. It's possible that the device that controls the voice one way at a time fails. I think it's called the VOX. It's suppose to prevent feed back while using the speaker. I have found the phone to work well when it's working. The styling is nice,the features are suffient for a small office. But, be expected to replace in a year. I tried one of those replacement contracts one time, man what a pain in the neck. I'll never do that again.
 Another GE loser October 26, 2002
My old GE phone was buggy, and the fix -- doing a re-set with batteries removed -- required me to restore the pre-sets at least a dozen times over a few years. So far, bugs plaguing this nice-looking and functionally rich replacement have caused me to lose the pre-sets twice in the three days I've had it. There is no key-tone adjustment, so the phone beeps at you when you press a button to get a line, and it beeps some more when you punch in a 10-digit number. GE tech support said this is a bug, but they are wrong, since the replacement I picked up yesterday at Best Buy does the same thing. Also, I have been unable to wring the ringer and cross-talk bugs out of the two-line function. The problem is attributable to the fact that the input jacks for lines 1 2 require a 2-line coupler, rather than allowing the user to simply plug each of two wall lines into separate 12 phone-input jacks.pThe phone has decent heft and a nice finish, but the touch of the buttons is too firm for my taste. I am hoping GE's tech support can resolve at least some of the bugs, since alternative choices in this category are relatively meager.pRA
Not user friendly for troubleshooting August 22, 2002

My power cord has gone out within one month of getting the phone. It now eats up 1 battery every 2 days. It won't ring or the buttons don't work unless it has power. I am having to send it back. I personally wouldn't buy this phone, but unfortunately, my corporate office did.
 A very solid desk phone August 21, 2002

I needed a two-line desk phone for my home office, and this one is working out very nicely so far. Its sound quality surpasses many phones I've used in corporate settings, and its handset is a nice weight -- not cheap-feeling. It works well in speaker mode, and I'm also enjoying using it with a Plantronics headset I purchased. On top of all this, the phone looks good. If it displayed caller ID, I'd rate it a "5." But at this price, I'm still very happy with it!
