Piece of junk.
The phone systematically fell apart. One handset at a time. The base phone did not break, but was of questionable quality.
not bad for me.
before i give my impressions, i have a quick question. on my phone, after i've listened to all my new messages or even delete them all from voice mail, the voice mail light continues to blink. any ideas why or how to make it reset? thanks.
i like the speaker phones on the base and cordless, they work well. has a lot of features. the handset on the base could grab a little better when you hang up. i just wanted one with speakerphones, and a corded base phone since i don't want to have to worry about the phone going dead in a call. is a pretty nice phone for me and with a couple mods, i'd really love it.
Steer clear of this Motorola home phone!!!
I'm writing this a year and a half after this phone system died completely.
I researched this phone over several different sites, and I took the negative reviews with a grain of salt. Take my advice...I'm a trendy "gadget freak"...do not buy any home phone from Motorola.
The voice quality of the digital answering machine is garbled and muddy. My daughter's toy walkie talkies sound better! I have to delete half of my messages because I cannot understand them.
The first handset completely died (not just the battery...the entire handset) after just 7 months. I figured that it was more hassle than it was worth to contact Motorola for a repair/ exchange...besides I had another handset, right?!?

So sad, cause I love this phone
I am on my 3 set because I was lucky enough to have bought the replacement warranty from PC Richards the first 2 times around. I got this phone because I wanted a corded base and cordless phones too. I was happy to find this combo with expandable base units that don't require jacks. I have Optimum Voice, which runs through my cable modem and I have never experienced any problems with the phone not dialing due to the phone service. HOWEVER, I am on my 3rd set as I mentioned because the handsets seem to loose the ability to dial certain numbers over time. In one instance the handset stopped consistently dialing the number 3 in less than 6 months of buying the phone. When I say it won't dial, I mean you push the button and nothing comes up ...

A failed product
I bought this phone for it's corded base unit, answering machine and cordless accessories phones.
1. The corded handset on the base is hard to hang up in the right position.
2. The answering machine garbles messages so badly they are unable to understand them. It records hang up calls, that can only be deleted during the brief time during play back. I bought another answering machine to substitute.
3. It will not work for all touch tone services.
4. When using a cordless handset it will turn on the speakerphone of another cordless handset.
