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. What's in the Box

 Haven't had the problems other reviewers have had! January 4, 2009
Wow, some folks have been really unhappy with this system! I have to say my experience has been quite the opposite. The phone works great for me and has for the past three years with no major glitches. The voicemail works consistently, the range is fantastic for the cordless handsets (I can walk out to get my mail at the curb or well into the backyard and it still works), and the sound is pretty good as far as cordless phones go (and I've had several different kinds over the years).
I knocked one star off because of battery life on the cordless units. After a few months, they don't hold a charge for very long and replacement batteries were not easy to find, but I found them online after some searching. To be fair, I had the same problem with my last cordless phone system. So that is more of a ding against rechargeable batteries than the phone itself.

Great phone! Works well. Only drawback is how it is fastened to the wall is not very strong and I'm afraid it will fall off.

 DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE SYSTEM March 21, 2007

Have had my Motorola system for well over a year now. Many, many complaints:
1. the handsets buzz
2. battery life is bad - one of the handsets now lasts about 3 minutes
3. no headset plug on the base unit, which I have to use often because the handsets are so bad.
4. You can't read the display on the base unit unless you stand over it and look straight down.
5. If you take the time to assign names to all of your handsets, you lose the names when the power goes out! This happens even if you put batteries in the base unit.
6. The headset jack on the handset units is nestled into a soft plastic area. Some headsets also have a soft area on the male piece that plugs in. Two soft areas do not connect well... the headset falls out. I finally found a headset that stays plugged in.
Don't buy the Motorola MD71 March 13, 2007

I purchased this system 8/05 with two handsets. Within 18 months, the handsets began to behave erratically. First, the ringing would go on after the base phone was picked up. Next, the handset would signal "out of range" even when inches away. I tried to reset the system but unplugging it; the two handsets just died.
Please save yourself a headache and resist purchasing this utter P.O.S. Shame on Motorola for despoiling their brand in such a cheesy fashion
