Sanyo MM 7400 and Plantronics MX 150 Headset

[Guest]

I have had three Sanyo phones swapped out (at Radio Shack) and 3 sets of
Plantronics headsets (MX 150) on my Sprint Service. The headset initially
works great and I love it. Each time a failure occurs, the connection is
somehow compromised and the headset connects erratically (off and on even
without any physical movement) Sprint has viewed this problem on my phone
and is now in the process of swapping out another brand new Sanyo phone
(another MM 7400). Has anyone else experienced chronic problems with this
equipment as I have described? I called Plantronics and they told me that
this failure rate is unheard of and the headset should work easily for a
year without trouble.
Thanks so much for your help.

interesting, I have had some intermittent behavior with my 2nd MM7400.
The first one had a bad display but that is another story. Anyway, it
seems to go away when I rotate the headset plug in the jack. The first
one did not exhibit this problem however. Seems like you have a
defective phone again. I would look at the esn's to ensure you are not
getting them out of the same batch.
