Motorola MD7081 5.8GHz Digital 2-line Phone Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I always like to identify with the lineage of my Motorola products and their engineers: truly original equipment gizmo guys (Walkie-Talkies, car radios, Amiga chips, cell phones). However, I just could not get either of the 2 MD7081 units I tried to work right in my house. Along with many others, I had been awaiting a 5.8Ghz 2-line, expandable (more than 4 handsets) system that would not fight with my Netgear Wireless G WRT54GS Wi-Fi network. I have been barely tolerating the Siemens system for years, so I was ready for the relief from noise and garble promised by the 5.8 systems. Here were the 2 problems: without any doubt, when the MD7081 was powered up, it degraded the Wi-Fi performance horribly. And, line 1 rang on the handset only every other ring on one of my lines. If I switched the inputs, so that that the telephone was receiving the signal from my other line, it worked fine. And so did the "trouble" line ring ok on the handset position 2. This was so on both units I tried. I thought about the ringer equivalent load on the 2 phone lines and so on, but this was too weird for me. I could not have switched the line 1 and line 2 designations on only some of the phones in my house, because my business calls come in on line 2 and no-one else should answer them. So, I returned both units and await relief from some new model. BTW, the Amazon price, review, and return policies give me the confidence to try new items, which I rarely find the need to return, but when I have to, I really appreciate the convenience.

A well-designed system for home offices or talkative family members, the Motorola MD7081 is built to handle two separate phone lines. Expandable to a total of eight handsets, the system includes a 30-minute digital answering system with two mailboxes. The base system is the only part that requires a phone jack, allowing you to add extra handsets wherever you like. Each handset can operate as part of an in-house intercom system, access conference calls and even function as a baby monitor; each also includes a headset jack and belt clip for hands-free operation.
The answering system is accessible from each handset, as well as the base, and allows memo recording and messages to be forwarded to cell or office numbers. With subscription to local service, each handset is call waiting/caller ID compatible, storing up to 50 names and numbers of the most recent callers. Numbers can be stored, deleted or moved into the permanent phonebook with just a few clicks. Twenty-four selectable ringtones are available, and the base is wall mountable.
With the addition of four AAA batteries (not included), the system will continue to function during power outages. Motorola includes a one-year warranty covering parts and service.

Uniden TRU9585-2 Digital 5.8 GHz Digital Cordless Phone/Answering System with One Extra Handset/Cradle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Uniden 5.8GHz model TRU 9585-2 has smooth solid finish and good functionality. You need to push SEND button after dialing the number and hand-held units are ergonomically designed to be dialed with one hand, which gives them actually look and feel of some Nokia cell phones - very cool. Not too bulky and no squeaky buttons. Speaker phone on base unit and hand units and the answering system are easy to use. Base looks great on the desk and wall mount attachment is easy to install. Also, this model is sending and receiving with 5.8 GHz, not like some manufacturers that cheat and switch. Buttons on hand units are well-lit when dialing. I used two very good high-end Panasonic 2.4 GHz models for years but recently started having problems because of wireless routers and laptops; therefore I had to change to 5.8GHz, and after checking specifications for dozens of cordless phones, Uniden 9585-2 appears to be one of the best 5.8GHZ available. There is an unofficial test for the phones: when you talk to another person on the phone you should be able to "see" when that person is smiling. With this phone you can, believe it or not. I tried couple of other latest cordless phones in its price range or higher which had really good reviews, and returned them because voice was either unpleasant metallic or too distorted and processed. This Uniden sounds natural like regular traditional wired phone. I would recommend this phone to anyone who likes good quality and professionally looking electronics, either for home use or for business.
