1 out of 5 stars This phone has no battery life.......2007-03-11

Even with a brand new set of batteries, this handset still fully discharges in a few hours even when no calls are made. I have the older Motorola MD61 and it has usually a 3 day life even when making several calls a day. Don't buy the 761

1 out of 5 stars Easy to Use But Unreliable.......2007-02-25

We bought this phone two years ago. While the phone is pretty easy to use and has nice features (I've especially enjoyed the handsfree function on the handsets), we've found it to be extremely unreliable. The problems we've had are listed below:

*very short battery life for the handsets
*the screen on one of our handsets blanked out after only several months of use
*the handsets go "out of range" when one takes them only a modest distance from the base (even though we have the base in the middle of our house, the handsets don't work at the ends-- and our house is not that big)
*the handsets randomly become "unregistered" from the base and have to be reset (this has only become a problem in the past month)

The issues we've had with this phone have frustrated us so much that we are now shopping for a new phone-- usually we'd expect such a purchase to last longer than two years.

2 out of 5 stars Nice features but very unreliable.......2007-02-23

I bought this phone for the great features and because I've had good luck with other Motorola products. The phones and answering machine are easy to set up but that is about the only redeeming quality that they have. The handsets frequently lose connection with the base unit. The only way to get them working again is to unplug and then replug the power to the base unit which loses the answering machine settings. Range on the handsets is only mediocre, I can't talk in the far corners of the house even with the base centrally located. Also, battery life is very limited. Overall the phones are very disappointing and I would definitely recommend not buying them.

1 out of 5 stars Does not work with digital phone from the cable company.......2007-02-12

I own the slightly older models, MD 760 and MD750. They don't work with my time warner cable digital phone service.. The phone does not ring. You can see the call come in, the display lights up, the caller ID shows up, and you can answer it and talk,... but the ring circuit doesn't activate.

This also affects the voice mail on the MD 760... i.e. it never answers the phone (since the ring circuit is not activating, it doesn't know the phone has wrung 4 times, etc.

Motorola tech support was completely disinterested... they didn't want to forward the modem info to their engineers, nothing.

BTW, Time Warner in San Diego is using the Arris cable modems. The phone might work with other modems, I don't know

1 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE.......2007-02-06

Phones won't stay connected to Base Station. Read the review from the guy who's wife died while he could not dial 911. My wife has been yelling at me to get this two handsets fixed for 3 months. Don't BUY IT!!
