Motorola MD491 2.4 GHz Digital Cordless Phone with Corded Base, 2 Handsets, and Answering System (Silver)

Summary: 15% Restocking Fee
Review: This phone does not work for touch tone service UNLESS you have digital phone service. I have analog phone service and was unable to use long distance service that required touch tone signals. This phone only works on pulse dialing unless you have digital service. Dynadirect charged me a 15% restocking fee, even though I explained that this phone does not work on an analog line. Don't buy from Dynadirect unless you know your not going to return the item.

Summary: EXPECTED MORE FOR THE COST
Review: THIS PHONE WAS NOT INEXPENSIVE AND I EXPECTED MORE FROM MOTOROLA. THE VOLUME ON THE EAR PIECE FADES IN AND OUT. BATTERY DOES NOT KEEP ITS CHARGE THAT LONG, SO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO PUT IT ON THE HANDSET. THE FEATURES ARE COOL IF YOU ARE INTO DIFFERENT RING TONES AND DIFFERENT RING VOLUMES SET FOR TIMES OF THE DAY, WHICH CAME IN HANDY FOR ME WITH TWO SMALL CHILDREN. THE ANSWERING MACHINE IS OK AT BEST. I AM REALLY DISAPPOINTED AND SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO PRIOR REVIEWS. NOT MOTOROLAS BEST.

Summary: Nice to look at, not to listen to.
Review: Very attractive phone . . . and that's about the nicest thing I can say. The handset audio quality is absolutely horrendous, worse than a cell phone, and much worse than a 5 year-old Uniden 900 MHz I was using. So much for progress. Sound quality is fine with the base, but who wants to be tethered by a phone line? Features are great (handset speakerphone, same configuration as Motorola cell phone) but not enough to recommend anything other than to avoid this phone like the plague.

Summary: Took it back.
Review: Was very impressed by all of the features and functions (very similar to my Motorola cel phone). Was so disatisfied with the sound quality (like talking in a tin can) and also the answering machine playback would drop out throughout messages (from the base unit as well as handset).

Summary: Poor sound quality
Review: We bought this phone after previous reviews indicated good sound quality. Out phone has very poor sound quality, both in the wireless handsets and in the answering machine playback. The setup is good with both the wireless and the wired handsets, but overall we are unhappy with the system.
