1 out of 5 stars NOT for a work environment   October 2, 2005

We need someone to help us on this phone. Replaced a similar system with the Motorola and i am shocked at the crappy features...looks pretty but I can't find it functional for our office. Everyone has had problems with the hold feature ...we may just be use to our old system..but this is driving us all crazy. There is no clear hold button it goes from a conference lcd button to a hold button depending on the 2 line status. Sounds confusing, but in a busy store it's even worse.

We don't like the volume control either. Don't like the handset on the wireless it's too wide! So..form and function don't follow this one anywhere.

Hope we can find something else soon...

WE got this for the 2 line feature and expandable handsets...we won't be expanding.



3 out of 5 stars Voice Mail indicator light does not work!   January 4, 2006

One of the reasons we purchased this phone (base station and 2 handsets) was because we kept missing our Verizon voicemail. The Voice Mail indicator light does not work. The manual does not make any reference to the indicator light, it doesn't even tell you where it is. It also does not give any specifications as to what kind of service you need in order for it to work but all of the boxes have it as a bullet item feature. Motorola customer service is blaming our telephone service. We have the latest and greatest Verizon FIOS. Verizon has been very helpful, spent almost an hour with me on the line and did things like resetting our connection, checking that we receive a visual signal etc. but the light STILL does not work.

FYI, our inexpensive, older technology, Radio Shack Messagelite still works beautifully. On the plus side, we really like the intercom feature.

If you need a Voice Mail Indicator Light - Do not buy this phone.



1 out of 5 stars DOH!!!   August 6, 2006

Well, it looks nice, it's small, setup isn't hard, the sound is good, and it has several cute little ringtones. However, this phone has a major design flaw that makes it unusable for me:

There is no way to tell the answering system to record silently! Every time it answers a call, it broadcasts both the OGM and the message that the caller leaves, through the speaker! There are volume buttons but they make only a slight adjustment, from loud to medium loud.

Sometimes, you might not want other people in the room to hear the messages being left on your phone! Sometimes, you might be sleeping, and don't want to be disturbed.

Apparently, this never occured to the Motorola product designers. DOH!!! What a boneheaded mistake. Mine is for sale.

Re: previous review

The volume must be adjusted when the answering machine picks up incomming call. It will then retain that volume setting unless u adjust it again. Good Luck!!!



1 out of 5 stars Ringer problems with MD7091   September 15, 2005

I tried three different phones (same model) from three different vendors (thinking that I was one of the unlucky ones to receive a bad unit) and they all have very similar ringer problems -- Line 1 ringer doesn't work, or the phone doesn't ring at any of the extensions when you are on one of the lines, or it Line 1 rings but line 2 doesn't.

I am very disappointed at the quality of this phone. When I called Motorola tech support, they passed the buck to my phone provider saying something about baud rates and that the company needs to adjust it in order for the phone to work reliably. What a bunch of crap from tech support!!! I currently have a Siemens two-line phone that works just fine, so its obviously an engineering issue with the phone.

I can't believe a company like Motorola would release such a sub-standard phone to the market. How long have they been in the phone business?



We'll be adding even more exciting features to assist you in the coming year.
