General Electric 27958GE1

Pros: Corded Phone, Speakerphone, Digital Answering Machine, and Cordless Handset - all in a single package

Cons: None really - a well rounded phone

The Bottom Line: You could spend a lot more money on a phone that gives you the same features – the 27958 is definitely worth checking out

Review: GE’s 2.4 GHz Speakerphone and Answering System with Cordless Handset is a good combination of corded and cordless phone technology, along with a respectable digital answering machine. With a cordless handset that can be located ...

Pros: Good sound quality, cordless works well, answering machine is easy to use.

Cons: Inconsistent quality - had to return the first one!

The Bottom Line: I would recommend the one I have, but would warn that you might get a lemon!

Review: I was looking for a corded/cordless phone a little over a year ago, and this one had reasonable reviews so I picked one up at Best Buy. I had to return the first one. I could not even set it up, and finally concluded that it must have a bad computer ...

Pros: great battery life, clear reception

Cons: don't drop it...not as durable as you might think

Review: We bought this phone a year ago. It is quite clear and works great. The Answering machine is very clear and easy to understand (as long as the message leaver is clear). We're very happy with the phone and the cordless. We love that the cordless phone ...

Pros: comfortable, corded and cordless, clear

Cons: Been through 2 sets of these phones

Review: I bought this phone because of the fact that it also came with a corded phone, something that is helpful when the power goes out. As much as I like the phone, I've already been through two sets of them. The first time, we had problems with the cordless ...

Pros: speaker phone, nice sound,features like caller ID dial cordless and corded included.

Cons: Numbers on cordless stick and no extra cordless sets are sold by the company.

Review: This phone has done us pretty well, we've had it for a few years now, in fact it's even lasted through some damage including dropping and some water damage on the cordless phone. we really like the speakerphone feature and the ability to dial direct from ...

Pros: The corded part works fine.

Cons: HIPPO CUSTOMER SERVICE DOES NOT EXIST! GE POOR PRODUCT AND CUSTOMER SERVICE!

Review: This phone is not good. The cordless part does not work. I contacted the merchant HIPPO which told me I had to deal with the manufacturer. I spent an hour and 1/2 on the phone with the GE rep who was totally incompetent. The phone still does not work. I ...

Pros: none

Cons: minimal cordless range, painful to replay / delete messages

Review: Terrible phone. I can not walk 40 ft from the base before I start loosing reception. Also, I now realize one company makes many of these same phones. I hated the uniden voice prompt when i listed to old messages, it took forever to get through them and ...

Pros: None that I found!

Cons: way too many for a brand new phone!

Review: Causes phone line noise... as soon as I plugged the phone in, my and dialed up my computer, my connect speed dropped from it's usual 49.2 to 45.2... unplug the phone... all is good again. The cordless handset made an intermittent static sound as it ...

Pros: Handy having a second handset as well as a corded one.

Cons: Can't understand a word that is recorded !!

Review: I can't believe others are saying this is a great phone - I can't even understand the recording I made, and don't even try to understand the messages left by others. Why can't anyone make a decent phone/answering machine combination anymore (especially ...
