With a durable outer shell, the GE 26989GE9 is specially designed for placement in those annoying places where you need access to a phone but don't have access to a phone jack. Ideal for warehouses, shops, factory floors, or toolsheds, this cordless 900 MHz phone includes a base with a signal receiver that transmits calls directly to where you need them to go.
This convenience doesn't come at a sacrifice--you'll still have the features you expect from a quality cordless phone, including caller ID/call waiting (with subscription to local service) with a 40-station memory, speed dial with a ten-number memory, and a fully adjustable volume control. The base includes a spare battery compartment, and the phone includes two NiCD batteries, so you'll never run out of energy for conversation. GE includes a one-year warranty covering parts and service.

slight problems.......2007-05-16
I have the Craftsman which is the same item and I really like it. It seems that they were not made as well as production went forward.
I got this as a gift and I feel bad that they wasted $$$.......2005-12-14
Bad Design, Poor Reception .......2005-01-18
Not loud enough for a shop phone.......2004-08-01
The maximum volume is much too low to be used in a noisy environment. The handset is thick, so if you hang it from your belt, (upside down because of how the belt clip is attached)then you're going to scrape it off and have it fall to the floor. The keypad numbers are sealed, but the buttons themselves are very small.
If this is really a shop phone, then why isn't there some sort of bright flashing light that lets you know visually when a call is coming in? If you're wearing ear plugs, or running a noisy tool you'll never hear the ring.
I haven't found the extra battery to be necessary or usefull. I think it's just a gimmick to appeal to the "cordless tool" crowd. I'm sure that the "spare" battery won't last any longer than the one you leave permanently attached to the phone.
One supposed selling point for this phone is that you can put in a garage or shop where you have no phone line installed. You can do this because it comes with a transmitter/receiver unit that you can plug in anywhere in the house there's a phone jack. Don't try to use this phone very far from the trans./receiver unit because its range is pretty low.
I'm giving this phone only one star because it has some useless features, is missing several other necessary features, costs too much for what you get, and doesn't perform very well, ESPECIALLY considering it's billed as a specialized shop phone.
Good idea poorly executed.......2004-07-06
Handset is also large and not comfortable to hold - sharp edges. It's supposed to have a load ringer, but judging from the test settings I tried, it's not very load at all at its loadest.
I'd buy it at a close-out price of under $40, but not for a cent more.
