"GE 28310EE1 major flaw"
Pros: landline/skype conference
Cons: Unable to dial extensions
Summary: Hi...time after time in reading reviews of these skype phones whether they be dedicated or as in this case a combo landline/skype model, I see reviews skipping over what I consider one of the most important features that they LACK - the ability to dial extensions. The GE 28310EE1 does not appear to be able to dial extensions once you connect to your destination.
Who would purchase a phone or use a phone service, no matter what the cost, that could not complete a call to one's bank, to a business, etc.? I mean think about it, how many times a day do you end up calling a place that has a menu and endless number of submenus requesting that you enter in a number, series of numbers or spell out something? At least once or twice right? Even your doctor's office probable has a cue you have to navigate through.
It seems like the people reviewing these phones use them to just call their grandmothers and girlfriends? Lets get serious. I'm sure most people don't want just another internet chat toy, they want something that can perform at least with the capabilities of a cheap $5 Walmart phone, especially if the phone like this GE is going to cost 40 times as much.
At this point the GE 28310EE1 is good for calling your grandmother and girlfriend, but would you take it seriously as a tool for business or plain everyday calling? No.

I have not had any problems dialing extensions. I use this phone daily for calling everyone.

While your review brings up a good point, your criticism of the product is nothing but conjecture. I defer to compesamx's comment. He suggests that it might be possible. His comment is much more useful than yours.

I have a Philips VOIP8411b/37 and it works great with dialing extension, I do not see why this GE should not do the same.
