Lasted One Year.......2007-12-12

I used this phone for my VOIP and it only lasted one year... Waste of money

Great product.......2007-09-24

I have read previous reviews before buying. I think this product is great. I have had no problems, I can walk a block away and still have great reception. The sound quality is good but not the greatest. That is rating it with a corded phone. I would recommend this phone.

my little airport.......2007-09-09

The phone works well if you are 20 feet away from the base, after that, people cant hear you speak. My advice is get a battery for the base so that if you loose power you do not need to set the clock. This has to be the hardest task, setting the clock! Absolutely amazing how complicated they made it. Oh, and I call it my little airport because it flashes all sorts of lights! Drove me crazy, till I set a few things like the clock. It works well for its intended use.

Does what is says - was a lot less expensive than exp. unit.......2007-08-26

Bought this rather than another expansion unit ($60 vs. $129) for the basement. Didn't really need the answering machine, but it doesn't hurt anything. The speakerphone works well. Would recommend if you already have the MD6xx system and want to get another handset before you can't find them anymore.

Short battery life/complicated to operated.......2007-07-16

I`ve had this phone for about 2 years now and again on the market for a new phone. And it`s not going to be Motorola.... We bought this phone because it looked rigged and solid, plus I liked the idea of rubbon buttons but then I realized that because of this, the paint is coming off too fast. About 8-10 month after having this phone we noticed battery life shortened significantly. My phone bill is $18-20/month (most of them taxes and fees) because we don`t use phone that much but still we had to recharge battery literally everyday. I had couple times battery die during calls. Very hard to operate: my wife still didn`t learn how to page handset. The other annoying thing is when you listening to messages you can`t delete the message at the end of it because it goes straight to playing next message. You eather have to do it during the playback or just delete entire mailbox. I tried couple of times to delete message at the end but ended up deleting next messages. And the last reason why I wouldn`t buy another Motorola phone because messages playback is totally useless: you can`t understand a word with all the noices it records. We used to have Panasonic 2.4 cordless and quality of message recording was much clearer.

Terrible range, terrible value.......2007-10-16

I wish I had been able to read the other reviews for this product prior to purchase because believe me, they're true. Unfortunately I bought it late one Sunday evening after my home phone broke suddenly. It was a total disappointment and I ended up replacing it after two miserable months. I can't imagine how it rates it's 5.8 Ghz since everything seems to cause interference. The phonebook allows you to appoint ringer selections to each entry, yet there is no correlation between what is in the phonebook and what comes up on the Caller ID. And the range... well, let's just say it might as well have a cord. Actually, it would be better with one, that way you wouldn't find yourself losing a call because you "wandered" 12 feet away from the base! I purchased mine for about $85 and still feel completely ripped off. I can honestly say that I NEVER had a satisfactory call on this unit. Steer clear of this one!

like the handset, hate the reception.......2007-10-13

I have the 3 handset version in an apartment and love it. I bought the 4 handset version for my home and discovered how bad the reception of this phone can be. I put the base unit in the livingroom and 2nd handset in my bedroom about 30 feet away through 1 wall-terrible reception. I can't leave the room without the phone starting to loose signal and start dropping out. I returned it after using it for 3 days. Learned after the fact that 5.8 Ghz phones have the lowest reception capability of all phone frequencies..Live and learn.

This phone sucks, the range is Sad.......2007-06-21

My Mom and I decided to get a new house phone, because our good old Trustworthy Panasonic 900Mhz phone finally gave up on us. This was a good phone range was about full house and little bit outside. We went to Target to look and saw several cordless phones, and decided to go with this one because it was on sale for 100 dollars. Also i have a Uniden that still works after 7 years and it had great range for being 2.4 ghz, so i told her to go with Uniden. We got home and plugged them in to charge for about 16 hours. Then we finally removed the good old Panasonic phone and plugged this one in. Pros, i LOVE the look of this phone, it looks nice. The menu is also easy to use, really easy to figure out. The Features on this phone is pretty good, call waiting (Don't really use), Caller ID, you can also put up to 80 people in the phone book. Which is nice so you know who is calling you. Now the Cons: The Ringer is really quiet and i think should be louder then it is, even on max volume. Its hard to hear when its dead quiet, and even harder when their are noises. (cleaning, TV, etc.) Ok no big deal, i can deal with a quiet ringer i couldn't get that picky, because other phone was dead and we need a house phone. The biggest problem with this phone is the RANGE SUCKS, i mean my old Panasonic, 900mhz Uniden, 2.4 ghz and every other phone i know can beat the range of this phone with no problems. Our house is only 1500 square feet, so its pretty small. Yet it only works good in about a 20-25 foot range from the home base. After that it drops calls, (Not even crackly, just drops) the phones in other rooms Never ring because their "To Far" from the base. I Have the main unit in Kitchen, second is in my Bedroom, and last is in the sewing room. I have had a Cordless Expandable before and they have no issues with my small house. This phone was a BIG Disappointment, the Range is so bad, it just kills it. I don't understand why a 900mhz phone can have better range then a 5.4ghz phone. I don't need a phone that will work all the way down the block just one just covers a small 1500 square foot house. I cannot Imagine trying to get this phone to work in a bigger house. This phone is going back.

below my expectations........2007-06-09

Definitely not worth the money. I bought it for the list of features and the advertised benefits of 5.8 GHz over my older 2.4GHz system. What a disappointment!
This is the first phone system of this class that I see missing wall mounting options: the shape of the unit is ideal for wall mounting, but there are no connectors. The handsets are not eye-pleasing, to say the least. The handsets are too small and too crowded with buttons to be held between your head and your shoulder. There are also no headphone jacks and belt clips, so hands-free operation is not possible. I owned decent 2.4 GHz phones for many years and was anticipating the 5.8 GHz phone to surpass them in signal quality and range. It did not. In fact, the sound quality is mediocre to poor, and deteriorates to crackling when, for example, the basement unit is taken to the second floor. I did not see any improvements in the operation of my Wi-Fi network after switching from my old 2.4 GHz phone to this one. This, however, may indicate that the interference was negligible to start with.
I give it two stars rather than one because it does work somehow and was easy to setup.
