Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The phone handset works well and is high quality. The buttons are backlit, the LCD display has large characters, and both are backlit in a bright orange color. The handset has a NORMAL/AMPLIFIED button on the side, which allows for one-click change from normal to impaired hearing operation. It also has separate UP and DOWN arrow buttons on the face to adjust the volume in about 7 steps. The phone earpiece cup is really large so it fits over the ear well. However, out of 20 possible ringtones, only one or two are OK, the others sound like a circus calliope - really annoying sounds.
The phone handset itself sits in the answering machine base where it is recharged. The base unit is very cheap, light plastic, and is so light that when the phone rests in it, it is top-heavy - really bad engineering. When the answering machine did work, it was loud and easy to use. However after only 2 weeks, it stopped working, with a "F" status on the display, which the manual says means "Memory is Full". Unable to clear the messages, I contacted Thompson/GE for help. Their canned email response told me to call an 800 number. A Tech Support person walked me through a minimal procedure to disconnect the power and batteries, wait 10 minutes and then if that didn't fix the problem, to send the phone/answering machine back... Not good!
The phone handset is a keeper, however the answering machine/base a BIG loser. Overall, considering the high $$$ cost, I would look around for a better amplified phone.
