GE 27930GE3 2.4 GHz Analog Cordless Phone with Caller ID

General Electric's 27930GE3 cordless phone combines a forward-thinking design with a number of essential features, making it one of the most popular cordless models on the market. Sporting a three-line LCD built into the handset, the phone supports the caller ID/call waiting services offered by most local phone companies, letting you filter out solicitors and other unwanted callers. It also stores up to 40 names and numbers, so it's quick and easy to call good friends and favorite restaurants. And thanks to its intuitive controls, you can review past calls by date and time and then return the calls with the push of a single button.

To ensure an extended range without jacking up the price, the phone operates on the 2.4 GHz band using tried-and-true analog technology. The phone also employs GE's Crystal Clear Sound with Campandor function and 40-channel auto scan to guarantee a quality reception with minimal static. Additional features include a flashing antenna that gives users a visual cue when the phone is ringing (ideal for noisy parties or when the kids are napping); a low-battery indicator; headset compatibility; and a long battery life (six hours of talk time, five days on standby). The unit measures 6.89 by 8.71 by 2.95 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a one-year warranty.

Customer Review: Hard to hear and battery doesn't last
I've had the phone for about 5 or 6 years and the battery doesn't last more than 30 minutes when talking on it. The phone is also has static, so it is a little hard to hear the person you are talking to.
Customer Review: Been Fantastic For Me!
I've been finding it difficult to read others' reviews saying not to buy the phone becuase it gives out, the pad malfunctions, etc., because I have owned this phone for two years now. The phone has been dropped, handled by children, and left off of the charging base for up to three days without the battery dying. I have never had to replace the battery and the number pad has worked great since the day I bought it. I can go outside of my house and the signal stays strong. I'm so glad I bought this phone because I had purchased another phone around the same time and that phone gave out about a year and a half ago. I feel bad for the people who have experienced problems but this is a phone that I would buy again in a heartbeat.
