The GE 5.8 GHz Phone/Answerer has a unique feature built in I've never seen in a product before,and is very useful when you have teenagers.That feature is multiple mailboxes. My husband and I get our messages,and our kids get theirs. No accidental erasures. Lots of memory, and it came with three handsets. Very handy. The only drawback is the ring volume.Even when turned up on high(level 4), it can be a little hard to hear if you're not in a room with one of the phones.Another great idea is the "Do Not Disturb" feature. When the button is pressed, a light shines on, and any calls received after pressing it are automatically diverted to the answering machine-quietly. You do not hear any phone ring, or them leaving a message.Great for sleeping or quiet time.An excellent product at an affordable price....

mymaya says "somewhat tech savvy" about GE - Model 25951EK2 Edge 5.8 GHz Phone/Answerer

I went out one day to replace my 4 year old Uniden. But to my dismay I found this phone first instead. I charged it for over 24 hours before I even used it. I was sitting at my computer desk not 5 feet from the base unit when, the phone just shut off and hung up on my phone conversation. Then, if I would get up and walk into my kitchen, I would get A LOT of static on the line and with me being only 10 feet from the main base unit.

After only a few days of this kind of aggrivation, I gladly returned it and got me a different Uniden model, series TRU9480 and I couldn't be happier. DO NOT BUY THIS GE EDGE phone ! It is a total waste of your hard-earned money.

I had a trusty AT&T answering machine that worked very well, but wanted to add another cordless phone to the mix. I therefore decided to replace the answering machine and the old Vtech cordless phone I had with an integrated answering system/dual-handset wireless phone from GE. I've had other GE cordless phones and they worked okay, so I thought the GE 25951EK2 cordless phone/answering system would be a good purchase. I paid around $75.

Bad idea, bad idea.

What It Is

The GE 25951EK2 has two identical handsets, one base station and one remote charging station. The base station connects to the phone line in your house, and it also contains a digital answering machine. The one handset sits upright in the base station, where it charges, and the other sits upright in the remote charger. The GE 25951EK2 uses spectrum in the 5.8 GHz range for communication, which was an important feature to me. Since my wireless computer WiFi network uses the 2.4 GHz spectrum, I wanted a wireless phone that would...
