4.0 out of 5 stars Great phone - cheap battery, October 1, 2007

This review is from: Motorola Cordless Telephone with Digital Answering Machine and Call Waiting Caller Id (Office Product)

When you get the phone, check to see if it came with a Sanik battery. If so, plan on replacing it ASAP... my suggestion would be a Energizer ER-P510. If you don't, you will experience the static that many reviewers have mentioned, followed by run-down after 30 min of talking, followed by death at about 1 year. As shipped, I should probably rate this phone lower, but if it shipped with a good battery I would rate it 5-stars.

I've had an older model for over 8yrs, which I thought went bad. So I bought these new models. Once I got them setup properly, I haven't had a problem since. The directions are a little sketchy setting up the main base & the ans. machine (TAKE NOTE: Two Separate Devices! Each Need To Be Set Up To Keep Proper Date & Time!). All the features work great! Remote ans. machine access is my favorite. Then I replaced the battery on my old Motorola cordless & that's up & running. Great products!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good phone, answering machine won't hold settings, December 12, 2007

We bought this unit because it's the only system on the market we could find that you can use a wireless camera with (we use it as our baby monitor). The system works very well but the answering machine isn't worth a hoot ! ! The machine constantly loses it's settings for no apparent reason (no loss of power) and resets to any given day/date and time it wants, so if you require an accurate log of messages this unit can not provide that. The phones do have caller ID and the day/date seems to stay current on those (assuming you don't leave them off the charger so the battery is dead) The battery life of the phone is awful, it will be on the charer all night and die on the first phone call you make you may get 5 min you may get 30 min. shared phonebook function is great on this system.
