The GE28310EE1 phone comes with Skype P2P (peer-to-peer) software on a computer processor chip built into the base of the phone, enabling the system to function without connecting to a PC.The GE28310EE1 delivers full Skype support, sending and receiving Skype/VoIP calls as well as standard PSTN calls, while permitting conferencing of up to four VoIP users. The phone features DECT 6.0 (Digital Enhanced Cordless Technology), which delivers calls of exceptional voice quality without the static, pops, hiss and buzz which severely hinder the performance of most wireless home and small office telephones.The GE28310EE1 telephone has many enhanced features, which serve both traditional phone line and Skype calling. These include polyphonic + midi melody ringtones for custom ID of incoming callers as well as a 200-entry phone address book that can sync up with the consumer's computer.

Summary: Great Phone
Comment: We decided to switch to Skype for our home phone service. This phone works very well. It has some nice features such as adjustable ringer volume, and an easy to read color display. I highly recommend this phone.

Summary: Great Skype Phone
Comment: We bought 4 GE Skype Phones so that we could minimize doing overseas calls in the Philippines. The phone is easy to use especially to those who don't like to use computer. With regards to Amazon service, the phone was delivered on time to my mother's house.

Summary: Service S***s
Comment: I would initially have given this telephone a 4-5 star rating, because at first it seemed pretty good. The interface worked, and it was really nice to have a phone that could call in and out on skype and our landline without leaving a computer on. I also bought 2 additional handsets and was ready to ditch our old phones. Good thing we didn't!
A little over 1 month into our use of the phone, it went on the fritz. The base station refused to communicate with the handsets, despite resetting, both hard and soft, and various efforts to manipulate the phone. I finally called Support, which is hard to reach, and they laboriously walked me through everything I'd already tried before finally conceded defeat. I had to send it in.
It is now over 2 months since I sent it in and we have seen neither hide nor hair of the thing. I finally got really impatient 2 weeks ago and called to see what had happened. Apparently, they had some migration of their service department, and weren't ready to take care of things. The representative didn't want to tell me how much longer I would have to wait, but then sort of agreed that it would likely go out in a week or two. I can now tell you that it has been over 2 weeks and we still haven't got it. Meanwhile, we have 3 handsets here we can't use. At this point, I'm ready to send it all back to the company and demand a refund, so I can get the Phillips version. At least they've been using that in Europe for a while and hopefully have the bugs out.
My biggest concern about the phone, while it was still otherwise working well, was the flimsy feel to the phone. It's largely composed of plastic and is very light. All in all, feels like a toy phone and it's probably not surprising it broke.
Addendum: It's now 3 months since we sent in our phone and we still have no firm date on when, if ever, we will get the base unit back. This is the worst service I have ever experienced for an electronics product from a company of this size.

Summary: Great if it does not need to be reset once a week
Comment: This is a great product that works well for me. My regular line is vonage and I needed a second line for buisiness and Skype works well for that. The only issue is that I have had to reset the unit about once per week. I hope this resolves itself or a firmware update does.

Summary: Owner over a year
Comment: I own this product and loved it up to the moment it stop communicating with the internet. I am a computer networker, so I know my way around computers and gear of the sort. When I first got my GE Skype phone, I loved it. Stores Skype numbers, has cid / cwcid, cordless, doesn't require a pc to run, and allows you to intergrate you're other home phones. About a yr and a month out of the warrenty the thing stops working. I've troubleshooted the product at both home and work, and it still does not work properly anymore. I'm hoping this is just a random thing for it to stop commmicating with my router (perhaps I had a surge into my home, but I would be hard press to wonder how it affected my skype gateway only), so I'm going to take another leap of faith and buy another set. Atleast this way, I'll have two handsets ..... or two pieces of gear that doesn't work. I hope the first is correct.
