Light / Moderate Call Volume
933705
I telecommute and use this for work. I spend about 40-50% of work time on calls and wanted the single ear rather than a full headset that I have previously used and that part works well.  The first one I ordered broke after 2 days but getting a replacement was easy and quick.  The second one has performed much better, plus my work laptop was replaced and the call clarity has improved.  It's not as comfortable as a full set and I slip it off when not on calls so not sure this would work for anyone with a heavy call volume but light to moderate calls, it would be fine.

I had bought this phone a few months ago to replace my old nokia phone. I wasn't looking for something extravagant, just something basic. This phone pretty much suited my needs.
Video and camera are all pretty much standard; nothing over the top. Some of the photos I shot came out a bit fuzzy but as I mentioned, I only wanted a basic phone. I didn't mind if the photos were not crystal-clear. However, the photos were not so blurry where you couldn't make out what was in the photo.
Volume is my only complaint I have about this phone. If I'm in a very noisy place, a restaurant, city, or wherever, and I'm trying to listen to someone, even when I have the volume on the highest setting, sometimes it's still very hard to hear what the other person says. This gets very frustrating.
All in all, I'm content with this samsung phone. People who are looking for a phone with a lot of extra features that some of the newer phones come with will not find much with this phone. Nevertheless, if you're looking for only a basic phone, this one will do the trick.

Call volume quite low. Ring tones quite low. Don't understand why but the music player has additional volume control settings that is enough to drive the speaker. The device browser chews time like crazy. Download Opera Mini to get a better browser.

Bought this for an elderly friend with extremely bad hearing, she can't hear her phones when they ring.  This phone's ringer is loud but not quite loud enough for her to hear if she's on the other end of her condo.  Of course you have the restrictions of keeping it near the plug in but if you can buy at least 2 for someone that's hard of hearing they/you should be able to hear the phones ringing.  This is a nice sturdy phone, just like the ones we had 'back in the day.'

I am hearing impaired.
I can hear well while talking on this phone.
The one complaint I have is that when it rings the volume ring is low.
I set the volume on maximum and I still have a hard time hearing it ring.
I tried the different ring tones and still have problems hearing it ring unless I'm right next to it. It doesn't ring very loud.
I suspect the ring tone itself has a high pitch, which is part of the problem. This high pitch is in the hearing range most people lose due to age related hearing loss, so I am surprised the phone ringer is in the high pitched range of hearing.
The large buttons are a plus.
The price for the phone is reasonable.
I have been, and continue to be pleased with the quickness of the free shipment by Amazon on their items.

Moderate sound quality. Really hoped for something a lot more powerful with well-rounded sound.

Could use an alarm when you turn your car off and leave the speakerphone on. As for playing music, meh. The volume seems to be either too soft or too loud with no happy medium. Incoming calls are good.

Got a great price on this phone set from Amazon, and liked everything about it except one very....very important piece - the volume! My wife and I are in our mid 20's and neither of us could hear anything on these things. The people on the other end said they could hear us loud & clear, but unfortunately we just could not hear them (was more of a clear whisper). The volume was maxed out, as was the ringer volume, which too was a bit quiet for our tastes.

We returned the phone and purchased a Uniden DECT 3080-2 which has worked fine. The Uniden volume too is a bit soft on the highest setting, but it is still 2-3X what the GE was providing.

Would have rated the GE a 5 star had we been able to hear anything on it.

I REALLY Love that there NO Annoying voice prompts, but the CHIME is Super LOUD....Unfortunately, the speaker is NOT. Just Slighly louder than phone or tablet but can be turned full blast without buzzing. The voice clarity for phone calls SUCKS! Too bad because the style & design are sharp.

Limited chime tones, but none are very annoying.

Excellent volume. Can be heard throughout the house.

Although I bought this last month, I wanted to wait until now to write my review. The only problem I have with this phone is that the incoming volume, depending on the call, can be too low, even with the volume control set on high.. I don't consider myself hard of hearing, but I was concerned about using this phone for work-from-home if I couldn't hear the caller. So, I did a lot of research and purchased the Clarity 10BK 50800.001 Walker In Line Amp - Black, which basically doubled the cost of the phone to $60+. However, I still consider this combo to be superior to the other headset phones offered on Amazon. And last - thanks to one of the answers about the mute switch. I discovered this switch was in the "On" position when, on my first call, the other person hung up when they couldn't hear me.

Good phone.  Sterwould speaker is decent.  Very minimal apps as advertised.

I completely agree with all the glowing comments here about this phone, so I won't repeat them.  However, please be aware the earpiece volume is not as loud as many other phones, nor as loud as they could have made it.  Just one more notch of volume would have made so much difference to me...and I do not have poor hearing.  I just don't want to strain to hear people in a conversation.

Sound quality is great. No static and very clear. The waiting message indicator is a nice touch - a fairly dim amber light blinks every few seconds. This can be turned off if it gets annoying. The text on the screen is a bit large so caller ID names usually get cutoff. The handsets & bases are extremely light. They don't have the solid feel that I usually like in a phone. Doesn't affect operation - just a personal preference. Very easy to setup. Pairing an additional handset took about 10 seconds.

Volume during phone call is very low.  I adjusted the vulume to highest possible and still hard to hear.  Audio for watching movies is great.

This phone would be great if it wasn't so hard to hear the person on the other side.  On 9 out of 10 calls, I have to ask the other person to speak louder because the audio is so quiet on my side.

Other than that, the phone works great.  It was easy to set up the phone book and operate the phone.  The reception range is good.
