Found A Way To Fix This Phone! .......2007-01-29
I read most of the reviews of this phone and agree with them. I would never buy another GE phone. In fact, I am waiting for my new Uniden cordless phone to arrive from Amazon. In the meantime, I tried this experiment yesterday. I took the battery out of the phone, then sprayed the keys and talk button in front with 409 Orange Power. I really doused it good. After that, I blasted the phone with steaming hot water, so much so that the screen fogged up.
Now, after that I shook the excess water out and duct taped the phone to a fan, with the buttons facing the fan. Today I hooked the battery back up, put everything back together and tried it. It worked fine even without a charge. I didn't have to keep pressing the same number 3 times to get it to register. It worked similar to when it was new.
I've done this with stereo receivers by taking the cover off, putting them in the bathtub, squirting them with a spray cleaner and blasting them with a hot shower. Then I put them in between two fans for THREE days. After that, they work fine. I'm sure I'm not the first person to do this. Just make sure you don't have the unit plugged in when you do this or you'll get shocking results. Try it! What have you got to lose?
Consumer Reports Best Buy Error.......2006-07-13
Bought one of these phones. Like everyone else, followed ALL instructions EXACTLY. After less than 1 year, battery won't hold charge and phone keys have to be pressed numerous times to dial. Just bought brand new battery and followed charging recommendations before attempting use. It doesn't work. Headed for the garbage. DON'T BUY THIS and waste your money.
Big Disappoinment.......2006-04-17
Man, were we diappointed with this GE phone! We did everything right---"trained" the battery in the beginning, made sure we routinely charged it, never dropped or abused this phone, and then one day it started not holding a charge. We couldn't figure it out.
It worked fine for about a year and then completely crapped out, just like the other reviewers have said. We had a 10-year old Toshiba that was so fabulous and reliable up to it's unfortunate demise, which is when we acquired this loser. Are there any good phones out there somewhere????
GE Phone.......2006-03-26
The phone arrived very quickly as promised in the advertisement and functions as advertised. I like the clarity and battery life. I purchased this phone since I have another one in white and I like the fidelity of the sound on this model.
SOUND QUALITY SUCKS!.......2006-03-25
BELLS AND WHISTLES BUT CAN YOU HEAR THEM NOW? Sound quality is distorted and static-y, especially when someone calls you from their cell. Do you enjoy saying, "I'm sorry, what did you say?" You'd better! I purchased the 900mHz because it was touted as being compatible with DSL. I'm not sure what the issue is. I have a GREAT 900 mHz phone by Lucent--crystal clear in sound transmission, but, so old it didn't have caller ID, etc.
Amazon won't help me. It's been over 30 days (around 50 days) since I purchased the phone so of course they won't refund. They gave me a 1-800 number supposedly for GE. It is for "Thompson Products" who apparently make GE products now. The first try yeilded only an automated system to get info on TV/Vid/DVD (visual) products--no mention of phones! I'm now on a PAID call (on hold for about 15 minutes now) to another number suggested. This is BS! Who has time for this?

Wonderful Phone.......2007-03-09
I had a vtech 5 GHz phone and I needed another phone for my apartment. After looking at all the expensive 5 GHz phones, I finally decided to give a shot to these 900 MHz older models and I am more than just happy for my decision. This phone is much better than all those expensive 5 GHz in terms of voice quality. It might not have all the features of those phones much nevertheless its fantastic for a basic cordless phone.
Value phoen.......2007-03-09
The phone is a value type purchase. It is worth what I paid for. Only thing that you should take into consideration is that the numbers on the hand set do not light, making it hard to dial in dark areas.
Okay.......2007-02-09
Good for the price I suppose. Theres a couple issues I have with this phone though. When you receive a call and press the talk button, it won't connect you right away. You have to wait about 2 seconds, so you have to train yourself to wait everytime you answer or you'll start talking when no one can hear you. Also it projects YOUR voice into your earpiece very loudly, so if you're talking and someone tries to interupts you or say something when you're making a noise you won't be able to hear them...
But I suppose it's a phone it works, and its really cheap. But spend a little more and find something better.
Very reliable.......2007-02-05
I have had this phone for 18 months now and it still works great. The range is good... I can move three (small) rooms away with good reception. The battery is still charging well and can hold for ~3 days off the base and still be good for a long call. I'm buying a second one now for in my bedroom.
easy to use, works with VOIP phone service.......2007-01-07
This is a great basic cordless phone. The last 20 incoming calls are saved. There's memory to save 10 numbers as well. Comes at a great price.
Works with Vonage. Had bought a fancier 5.8GHz model before buying this but Vonage network seemed to miss some of the dialed digits on that model. This one works perfectly.
Have been using it for about a year and the battery is great. Lasts a couple of days without recahrge unless making many long calls. Range is good too: I have the base on the middle floor of my house and get perfect signal on the upper and lower floors.

Horrible Phone.......2007-08-16
I came here to give my review of this product (because I was displeased enough to take action) and was surprised to see that the other reviews echoed my exact complaints.
We've had this phone for almost a year and we're replacing it because the buttons don't work dependably anymore. I've missed phone calls because the talk button wouldn't work when I pressed it.
On top of the button issue the battery life is feeble. This phone only holds a charge for a day or so.
Buyers beware!.......2005-09-06
This is a decent phone and answering system for about the first year, then two major problems start. If you have cell phones, charging them anywhere close to this phone will cause these problems to appear sooner than normal.
Buttons stick making it very hard to dial a number.
A clear conversation might be interrupted by "electronic noise."
GE 26998ge1 900 MHz Analog Cordless .......2005-08-12
This phone works well with good quality and reception.
Satisfactory Service.......2005-06-17
My parents have always tried to buy high quality but not overly expensive telephones with the expectation that they wont last over two years. It has been about a year and a half and the phone is still doing great. They love the phone, the machine works great, and the phone serves its purpose.
Button Problems.......2005-05-08
Phone itself (reception, sound, answering machine, etc) works great, but the buttons stick and then fall off. I see from the reviews I am not the only one with this problem. I am in this site now to look for phones as I am now missing my #1, #3, and talk buttons. E-mailed GE to see the price of a new handset and got a useless response telling me to call some long distance number?! Off to buy a phone!

spacesaver phone.......2007-05-05
PROs: saves counter space
place in most convenient spot for you
good answering machine
low profile under cabinet
CONs: radio does not work (I don't need radio anyway)
reception quality could be better
learning curve for family to be able to return handset to cradle
CONCLUSION: the best phone on the market for space-saving kitchen phone
I would purchase this phone again.
piece on junk.......2006-12-26
The phone gets lousy reception. It has this huge thing that plugs in to any electrical outlet and the phone jack. The actual phone doesn't have to be near the phone jack. We've replaced the battery several times in about a year. I'm looking around for a different space-saving phone.

DOA.......2007-01-09
I needed a cheap phone. I got one. Had to return for a refund since it would not power on. Amazon shipped it in a reasonable amount of time and refunded the shipping since GE sucks.

Customer Reviews:
Okay phone.......2002-03-23
The talk button is too large and continually hangs up when balancing the phone on your shoulder. The phone does get good reception and the battery has never died on me.
The phone is okay, but not the best I have ever had. But the price is good and you get what you pay for.
OK, but wasn't tested enough.......2001-07-31
This phone is OK as portables go. Battery life is acceptable but not great. Reception is good. It has one major fault in design. The TALK button is large and placed so that if you try to hold the phone with your neck (like when retrieving a toddler from the toliet), it hangs up on your caller. All of my friends and family HATE my phone. If you use your hands to hold the phone (as I'm sure your chiropractor would recommend), this may be a fine phone, but I don't recommend it for anyone with small children (or other things to do with their hands).

Amazon.com Review
The GE 26993GE1 is a 900 MHz cordless phone, digital answering system, and caller ID with call waiting, all in one beautifully compact and sturdy unit.
You access the phone's functions from either the handset's backlit LCD or from the large, intuitive keypad on the base. We were able to use the phone's basic functions without consulting the owner's manual, thanks to a review button with voice prompts that aid in setup and basic operations. For the phone's more complex functions, the detailed manual was very helpful.
If you subscribe to caller ID, the LCD on the handset tells you the time, day, name, and number of an incoming call. It also keeps track of the number of calls stored in the caller ID log and indicates whether the call has already been reviewed. To access the log, press the CID review button to scroll through the list. To return a call, simply press the dial button. Editing and deleting caller ID calls require only the touch of a button. If you are on the phone when a new call comes in, press the flash button to put the current person on hold and to answer the incoming call.
The digital answering system's controls are conveniently located on both the base and the handset. Basic functions such as play, review, skip, and erase are included. A message indicator on the base displays at a glance how many messages you have. You can also check messages remotely.
The 26993GE1 stores up to 10 numbers in speed-dial memory in addition to the 40 caller ID records. Names and numbers are easily stored by using the memory button and LCD. To dial a stored number, press the memory button and the memory location (zero to nine).
In our tests of the 26993GE1, we were disappointed to hear background static with the handset held at a variety of positions and distances from the base, but especially near physical barriers, such as walls and other electronic equipment. With the handset within 200 feet of the base, we could hold a normal conversation, but beyond that distance, static became overwhelming. Pressing the channel button improved the signal only when the cause of the interference was another radio device on the same channel. --Emily Bakko
Pros:
- Combines many features in 1 sturdy, compact design
- Voice prompts help in setup and operation
- Backlit LCD
Cons:
- Limited range
- Subject to static

Customer Reviews:
It was good for me.......2003-08-09
I have had this phone for about 3 years. It's been great. Considering that last year I threw it against my wall and smashed it into three pieces, when I put it back together it still worked fine. Now, it is starting to give me problems with the battery life, but if you'd been broken in three pieces, would you charge properly? I don't live in a high voltage area, so it picks up just fine. I can say this, it's definately not fragile!
Good for shorter duration of time.......2003-05-01
As stated by
<
>,I faced the "same problem" just after the 1 year Warranty period expired :(
The phone has decent functionality and one would think that a GE product would be reliable, but we've been frustrated by the buttons on the handset, which quickly became unreliable. One has to mash on the "3" button repeatedly to get it to register, and the "redial" button is useless. This is not a matter of wear and tear because we hardly ever used the redial button.
Nice looking phone - too bad it doesn't work!.......2003-03-15
Three months after we bought this phone we started having troubles. The phone would ring and we'd pick it up and hit the "talk" button. However, the phone would just beep - unable to locate the right the channel to begin the call. So we reread the manual and learned to hit the channel button after using the talk button, but to no avail. By the time we pressed the different buttons, the caller would be leaving a message and we couldn't even talk to them! Happens two out of every three incoming calls! We're looking for a new phone.
Also had trouble with keypad.......2003-02-28
Sturdy, pleasant-looking phone that functioned well for more than a year -- however, now, the "Talk" button no longer works, and some of the number keys are also difficult, sometimes registering a number twice, or not at all. If they would have fixed this flaw - seems to be widespread after reading other reviews - it would be a fine phone. Good timing on GE's behalf - phone goes downhill just as the warranty expires.
DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!.......2003-01-17
Yes, it may be cheap, but we have all heard the saying "You get what you pay for!" This phone worked well for a few months, but went downhill fast. Now, I never had an issue with clarity within the house, but once I steped outside it got fuzzy. (I cannot walk to my mailbox, which is not that far from my front door.) Anyway, the "3" button was the first to go. It got to the point that when you pressed the button it would not register at first, so you would press harder, which ultimately would make it register not only once, but three or four times! This became really frustrating, but I could deal with it until I found a better phone. Eventually though the "TALK" button started malfunctioning, which basically made my phone a giant paperweight. When you can't turn the phone on, it usually means you need to buy a new one! Anyway, I recently replaced the phone with a nice Panasonic 2.4 GHz/Fax combo, which works wonderfully. I also purchased a Uniden headset phone, which is also 2.4 GHz, and that was the best phone purchase of all and it was under $80.
