Easy to Use But Unreliable [Posted on 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.
This phone has no battery life [Posted on 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
Avoid this phone! [Posted on 2008-02-02]
I bought this base unit and three of the individual phones for use in my home. They just don't hold a charge. I can't tell you the frustration you'll feel when the phone rings, and you pick it up directly from the charging base, only to have the call disconnect due to lack of power. It doesn't matter how long its in the charger. Although it's nice to look at, unless the fix the battery, avoid this one.
worst phone i have ever used [Posted on 2008-04-30]
this is the worst phone i have ever used. will NOT hold a charge. charge all night and next morning it is on zero cells. try using it at that point, u get 10 minutes tops. called motorola. no receipt, no help. i have read countless reviews stating the same, so u know motorola is aware of the issue. you get nothing but apathy from them. i will forever avoid motorola.
its okay [Posted on 2008-05-07]
The phone is okay. When i got it there were already missing pixils in the screen (bought it brand new) The battery life is very very small. It does have several ringtones which is nice. But is not very loud in my opinion. When the battery is low it begins to malfunction. I dont reconmend it to someone who needs the battery to last.
