Pros: Cheap - Probably the cheapest Caller-ID cordless out there
Cons: You get what you pay for

After first getting Caller-ID service, I was excited to try it out. I bought this phone from Wal-Mart, and it was the cheapest Caller-ID Cordless phone that I saw.

The look and design is fine, although it only seems to come in White. And I...

Pros: Sound Quality, Price, Call Display
Cons: It is a Pain to clear caller ID history

I know this phone is not a new model, but I own one, and they are still selling it, so I am going to review it.

I got my particular GE Cordless Telephone, Model #26930GE1 as a Christmas present from my parents last year. It is the first...

Pros: Very clear, easy to use.
Cons: Static at edge of walking range.

My opinion might be interesting based the fact I've not ever owned a cordless phone before. This is new ground for me.

I've used regular Sony phones for several years with good luck, that is until the memory phone I had dropped all...

Pros: Phone is sleek, durable and very reliable.
Cons: None that I have found

I got this GE phone around Christmas this year. It is a terrific phone and I like it very much.

The phone is light and easy to hold. I can walk all over my house with no problems. The phone is very durable (I have two small boys so...

Pros: Easy to hold,attractive, and compact
Cons: Connection has to be careful when placing it on its base.This is very minor problem, all in all.

I have only had this about a month, but so far, I am really happy with it. I like the TALK button being right on the front, (as opposed to the side, which my old one had) Very convenient to dial. I do not have call waiting, but the caller ID shows up...

Pros: call waiting caller id feature
Cons: poor customer service

I bought this phone back in February of this year....it has already been replaced!!!!
I originally bought it because of the call waiting - caller id feature, and because it was 900 megahertz.
My beef here isn't so much that my phone konked...

Pros: white colour is nice. all required buttons are present.
Cons: died after 3 months. dies suddenly when battery low with little warning. 2nd phone, ditto.

What sherrivonl wrote? Yup. Me, too.

We bought our phone in March 2001. Today (July 1, 2001), we took it back to the store. Thankfully, we'd bought the extended warranty, cause we surely needed it.

When we first got this phone, I...

Pros: Best sound,durability, attractiveness,features, price of 5 cordless phones I have had.
Cons: Some care needed in replacing phone on holder.

I have owned cordless phones from every major manufacturer over the last six years. This one, which I have had for seven months now, is far and away the best of the lot. Poor GE service, especially by phone, is a problem. But this is an attractive...

Pros: All basic functions work well...except for one
Cons: Phone dies without warning at the end of batteries charge cycle.

I was excited to find a replacement cordless phone with Caller ID at a great price ($24.95) at Target. This GE phone has every feature I need, and they all seem to function smoothly. For a few days I thought I had recorded a terrific bargain.
...

Pros: Low cost
Cons: Unreliable charging Multiple phone interference problem You get what you pay for

Its been awhile since I gave up on this phone. At first I liked it, so I bought another as we use many phones throughout the house. Right after I hooked up the second phone we started having problems. Couldn't answer calls when they came in...phone wouldn't respond. We had to unplug and plug back in to get it to work. This kept happening. It appears that the second phone was somehow interfering with the first. Also, the second one I purchased would not charge properly and wouldn't hold an adequate charge. I had kept the box on the second phone and took it back. I purchased a Panasonic KX-TG2214 and was impressed by it. I bought a second one and they have both worked very well. Even thought they cost more...they are worth the extra money. I have the first GE 26930GE1 collecting dust and will sell it cheap. : )

Wanted a brand name cheaper phone for the basement. GE was always top of the line. Guess someone else is making their products now? The first phone just died after 1 month. The second phone had a battery overheating problem.(fire hazzard) Third phone lasted a year then the sound started to disappear. Even spent $25.00 on a new battery. Just wasted my money. Disappointed. You could always count on GE for quality! Now? Maybe it was just this model?
