Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The flexible MD791 has it all: clear, dependable sound, convenient features, and advanced connectivity. 5.8 GHz FHSS digital technology gives you improved clarity and privacy for all of your calls.

The system comes with two handsets--one corded on the base and one cordless model MD71--and you can easily expand your cordless system to a total of eight extensions. When you expand, you still need only one base station and one phone jack--just add additional remote handsets (MD71) as needed.

The built-in digital answering machine makes it easy to retrieve messages from the base station or handset, or you can have them forwarded to your cell phone or other number. Long battery life with emergency backup keeps you connected during a long conversation or even a power outage.

3.0 out of 5 stars Beware Motorola, read the reviews first!, March 21, 2006
This review is from: Motorola MD791 5.8 GHz Digital Expandable Cordless Phone with Corded Base and Answering System (Silver/Black) (Office Product)
I bought this phone based on the the different functions that it offered. It has not been all bad, but after 2 months the cordless stopped holding a charge. Well, these things happen. I figured a quick call to Motorola would solve the problem. Boy, was I wrong. I can't get anywhere with them. So, I have to warn you. My phone barely works now (three months later), and Motorola refuses to make good on it. My advice is to stay away from all Motorola products, and most certainly this one.

1.0 out of 5 stars Great features and poor performance, December 14, 2005
This review is from: Motorola MD791 5.8 GHz Digital Expandable Cordless Phone with Corded Base and Answering System (Silver/Black) (Office Product)
I purchased this phone with 3 extensions based on the company's reputation and the array of nice features. Unfortunately the phone system behaved in unpredictable, erratic ways and require lot of time for debugging. For example, the answering machine would stop picking-up for no apparent reason. Technical support did their best - but after resetting the whole system and still having problems, I have gave up, swapped it for the similar Panasonic system that so far has performed superbly.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great system, November 9, 2005
This review is from: Motorola MD791 5.8 GHz Digital Expandable Cordless Phone with Corded Base and Answering System (Silver/Black) (Office Product)
We bought this unit plus 3 expansion units (MD71) to replace an old answering corded phone plus separate cordless system. We had no problem with set up or with "registering" the expansion units with the base. We've particularly liked the intercom feature, the shared phonebook, and being able to screen or listen to messages on any of the handsets.

We've only had one bug, and I don't know whether there is something that we can adjust. The answering machine doesn't seem to recognize hang-ups, and thus records the loud "If you'd like to make a call. . . " message from the phone company each time. Also, the quality of the outgoing message isn't the best, though the recorded messages sound fine.

Overall, a great system, especially for the price.
