I regret the day I bought it

The phone itself is o.k. if G.E. happens to include all the parts in yours. The answering machine is low quality and cuts of the last few words. I called to get G.E. to send the missing part of the phone which was the belt clip. After being on hold and going through giving lots of information, they refused to help unless I mailed the phone back (which would leave me with no phone). It's pretty simple to mail me a belt clip but they wouldn't do it. They sugggested I drive to the nearest outlet (an hour away) and buy one. I regret ever buying this phone. The audio boost is just o.k. and isn't enough. I do love the Dect 6.00 technology. No interference and I can talk a long way from the base all the way over to my neighbor's house. Next time I'll buy a different brand and get the Dect 6.00

Best phone for dual needs (hearing and vision)

This 27907 phone set is the best I could find for my 91-yr-old mother, now technically challenged like many her age. It has been so successful that after a year with only the 27907, she ordered an accessory handset, so if she forgets to charge it there will be another ready and waiting, and so that an emergency phone can be put in the bathroom. One reviewer couldn't find an accessory handset; its model number is 27918, and amazon.com lists several. Nearly all the negative reviewers' issues are addressed by careful reading of the instruction booklet. It does have a lot of "bells and whistles" but Mother just disregards the unwanted ones. To avoid taking her hearing aid out, rather than putting the phone against her ear, she presses the speaker button when she answers instead of the talk button. (To disconnect, you press whichever one you last used; if you press the other it switches to that mode.) The 4 volume levels default to the last setting, and there is an additional white button against  more

Poor for users of hearing aids

This phone advertises that it is good for people with mild hearing loss. I hoped it would be good for someone wearing behind the ear hearing aids. Not so. I could not get the telecoil in my hearing aids to sync with the phone. And even with the volume set at maximum, I could not hear the voice at the other end of the line. I returned the phone and replaced it with Panasonic KX-TG9332 which is also DECT 6.0. It is not especially recommended for the hearing impaired but I am able to use the telecoil on my hearing aids with the phone and the voice on the other end is clear. Also, the manual for the Panasonic is well written which is not the case for the GE.

Reviews for phones seldom mention hearing aid users. I hope this will be helpful for those with hearing aids.

Excellent and easy to use. Highly recommended

We replaced a very old phone system with a base and two portable units in this line from RCA/GE.

I am not an electronics geek but I found this system easy to program and set up was very quick. We have had it operating for two weeks and it works fine and has good sound d quality and no apparent interference with our wireless computer net work or our wireless surround sound system.

Highly recommended.

Great Phone for a Great Price

Easy to use, nice big numbers. Clarity fantastic, nice booster for hard of hearing. I bought one for my 93 yr old technically challenged father-in-law, had it working in seconds. He loves it and has recommended it to several friends. He likes the one button to turn on/off the phone. His last phone had a talk and an off button, but they would always hit the wrong button and their phone would be off hook for hours. Doesn't happen with this phone because it is just one button. He also loves the light up ring. It makes it easier to find, and also a visual confirmation of an incoming call. Am buying one for myself, just wish it was offered without the answering machine, since I don't use an answering machine. No problem, just will turn off that feature.

Can't say enough how great this phone is! Why can't every company make a phone like this?
