Wrong Phone

Sharon . 23 days ago

They sent me the wrong phone

Texas do not work very good.

Kenny . 24 days ago

When I go to contacts to message inside of contacts my texting letters do not work good. It will only let me type first letter to every number. Say I want to try b or c on my texts it will only let me type a on number 2. On basic phone. I tried tech support and they said they will do what they can. Plus nothing changed there. I tried rebooting my phone and nothing happened. I tried turning on and off my phone and nothing happened and until several times I turn off my phone it finally works right.

Kyocera Customer Support - 13 days ago

Thank you for reporting this issue to us. We are sorry for the inconvenience. We have received a small number of reports of this multi-tap problem occurring, typically after a software update. We haven’t been able to identify the root cause, because the problem is rare and goes away after a while. We're glad that your phone is working correctly now. For others who see this problem, below is a procedure which a couple users said resolved this problem for them.

1. Go into the Message app and open a message as if you were going to reply to that message

2. Press the left soft key and select “Abc”

3. Press the end key to exit the Message app

4. Power off the phone and power it back on again

Other users reported that the problem went away after they turned their phone off and on 3 or 4 times. Kyocera

Terrible phone

SSEA . 2 months ago

Very primitive phone, only good for calls and text. They deleted the unit converter amongst other things. It's useless.

It’s OK

Renee . 3 months ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

This is a replacement phone for my 94-year-old mother. Her original flip phone died and this was a replacement. I went through Verizon because it’s the same phone she had and there would be no need to teach her a new phone. Other flip phones were available at the Big Box electronic store for about $275 less but again, I didn’t want her to have to learn a new phone.

Kyocera Customer Support - 3 months ago

Thanks for taking the time to write DuraXV Extreme+ a positive review. Please know that Kyocera devices are built and tested for ultra-durability and quality; Many customers find justification in the prices of our products as they often last longer and feel more premium than lesser-grade devices from other brands. Kyocera

Speech to txt . Aug 4, 2025

Are you able to talk to txt ? Does it have a speech to txt button or capability?

Answer from Verizon Customer Support1 day

Yes, the Kyocera DuraXV Extreme+ does have the ability to use voice commands to initiate a text message, but it doesn't have a dedicated voice-to-text feature for composing the message itself. You can use voice commands to start a text message by saying "Send Message", then the phone will prompt you to say the recipient's name or number and finally allow you to compose the text message using the keypad. -Sarge

Where is the power button located on the phone

Answer from Verizon Customer Support4 days

The Kyocera DuraXV Extreme+ power button is also the End/Power key. To turn the phone on, open the device and press and hold this key until the screen lights up. To turn it off, press and hold the same key until the powering-down animation appears.

Does this phone offer wireless charging? The charging port breaks every few months.

Answer from Kyocera Customer Support8 days

We're sorry to hear you are having trouble with your phones. DuraXV Extreme+ does not support wireless charging. However, it does have charging pads on the back for use with a desktop charger available at solutions.kyoceramobile.com. We aren't aware of a flaw in the USB port design. When the device was developed, the port was tested to over many insertion cycles. Feel free to contact our customer support team at 1-800-349-4478, or through our support page kyoceramobile.com/contactus/support/ to describe the problem that is happening with the port.
