About Motorola CD5013 DECT 6.0 Cordless Phone
Overall Feedback:
71% positive
74% liked the call clarity, while 26% found it muffled
I have had a negative experience with v-tech phones having appallingly bad audio and no clarity, but the sound quality on this phone is good.
I experienced poor call clarity as the caller could not hear me, even though I could hear them.
I have complained that my phone keeps ringing with no incoming call and when I answer, it's just a dial tone. The same issue occurs with the answering machine, leaving a message that is just a dial tone.
The 'amplification' button on the left side of my handset is easy to bump, which shuts off the LOUDER setting and suddenly makes it hard for me to hear the caller.

65% found the call waiting features helpful, but 35% experienced delays
The 'amplification' button is easily bumped, which shuts off the LOUDER setting, making it difficult for me to hear the caller.
75% appreciated the design, yet 25% found it outdated
I am dissatisfied with the phone's design as it looks like it could have come from the 1980s/90s.
67% liked its integration with smart home devices, yet 33% faced issues
I noticed that the elderly person accidentally blocked several numbers of her friends and family as the first option when going through the called ID is to block a number. I suggest that the first option should be to save the number.
I suggest that the first option when going through the called ID should be to save the number instead of accidentally blocking several numbers of friends and family.
66% highlighted the noise reduction technology although 34% noticed glitches
I did not mention anything about noise reduction technology.
The 'amplification' button is easy to bump, which shuts off the LOUDER setting, making it hard for me to hear the caller.
I am unable to turn off the obnoxious beeping sound produced by the phone while ringing, even though the machine answers. This suggests that the noise reduction technology is not up to the mark.
I can hear the caller, but they can't hear me.
75% were satisfied with the recording capacity, but 25% experienced data loss
I have complained that my phone does not play the outgoing recorded message and instead provides silence after the machine answers. However, it will record if someone talks to the silence.
Sometimes the phone rings but it doesn't record any messages even though I have set up the answering machine.
One of our phones stopped working reliably within a month and there was no dial tone.
I cannot make calls or block numbers on my phone.
64% appreciated the voicemail and messaging features, although 36% didn't
My phone keeps ringing like there is always an incoming call, but when I answer, it is just a dial tone.
I suggest changing the phone's default option from 'block a number' to 'save a number' as my elderly mother has trouble using speed dials and has accidentally blocked important contacts.
The machine does not play my outgoing message and provides silence after answering. It will record if someone talks to the silence.
Even though the answering machine is set up, my phone does not record any messages.
