GE 27998GE2 2.4 GHz Analog Cordless Phone with Answering System and Caller ID (Black)

Summary: Not a bad unit except no battery backup
Review: This phone gave me all I needed in features:
*Cordless phone
*Caller ID
*Answering maching with digital read out
*PLUS you can review the calls from the handset instead of sitting by the machine.

I only have three problems with the unit:
1. The cordless clairity could be better
2. There is no date recorded with the message just time/day so if I end up saving a message for the future, I don't know what date it was recorded on. Not a real big deal.
3. There is no battery backup for the answering machine clock which is a BIG deal for me. It might have a small backup battery but in just moving the machine from one room to another I had to reset the clock and day which I can only assume that every time the power goes out, all new messages will have the wrong time until I set it again. This is not a hard thing to do but why not put a battery in it so you don't have to?

All things considered for less than $50 I guess I will keep it.
