Motorola DECT 6.0 Cordless Phone with 3 Handsets (L303)

I read the one other review and was a bit concerned. I generally like Motorola products, I have used them personally and professionally for years and had very few problems, I decided to try this phone system. I agree with the other reviewer, the phones are cell-phone-ish if that makes sense. Yes they are light and they are plastic. I have no problem with that, all this electronics is Chinese crap anyway. The phones have Li-Ion batterys and that is a major asset, quick charge and long life, and very easy to replace. Range is good, but keep in mind this is a cordless phone, not a ham radio. I have a 3200ag ft house all one level. The one phone is 80 feet from the base, good strong signal and call quality is fine. Yes a blinking light for voicemail would have been nice but its not required. The units are light and small but large enough to fit your hand and decent ear-mouth distance for ease of use. If you were doing extensive calling a headset might be usefull. Set up was...Read more

I've had my trusty VTech 5.8 GHz expandable cordless phones for just over nine years now. After years of less than careful use, the time has come where replacing the batteries won't resurrect them.

My requirements for a replacement were pretty simple:
1) I have voicemail, so an answering machine wasn't necessary
2) There must be some kind of voicemail notification
3) 5.8 GHz or DECT, to play nice with my wireless networks
4) Speakerphones in the handset

I've had pretty decent luck with Motorola products in the past (both cordless and cell phones), and I liked the design of these handsets. The price was right, too, so I placed my order.

My first impression upon receiving the phones was that the handsets felt very cheap. A couple of good drops, and I'm certain they'll crack or shatter.

This phone has clean styling, an easy-to-read illuminated LCD, large buttons, good signal strength and sound quality, the convenience of 3 handsets needing only one phone jack, caller ID, a phonebook, and a reasonable price. What's not to like?

Well, what programmer wizard decided that after a call is answered on one handset, the other handsets should display "Missed Call"? This completely eliminates the value of the missed call feature, since you can't tell actual missed calls from calls received on another handset. I called Motorola and the rep said she'd had lots of complaints about that. No fix for it, though.

Also, when not in use, the phones display the current time in large numbers, which is helpful. But I was dismayed to see that they gain about 10 minutes over actual time every 24 hours, requiring daily corrections by the user. The Motorola rep said she'd had complaints about that, too, but it's the phone company's problem, she explained. They're...Read more
