Terrible phone

SSEA . 1 month 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 . 2 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.

Good, Loud Speaker!!!

Connecticut_Marc . 3 months ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

The KyoceraXV Extreme+ has THE LOUDEST speakerphone function of any cell phone I've ever had, and I first started using cell phones in 1998! This is excellent, because it would not pair with the Bluetooth in my 24 year old car. The speakers on this phone are just as loud as the bluetooth speaker!

Kyocera Customer Support - 3 months ago

Thank you for this 5-star review and positive feedback! We’re happy to hear that DuraXV Extreme+'s speakers exceed your expectations—especially considering your level of experience with cell phones. While it's a bummer that Bluetooth didn’t pair with your car (the car's Bluetooth version may be outdated), we’re glad DuraXV Extreme+'s powerful speakers helped fill that gap! Thanks again! Kyocera

Kyocera Customer Support - 4 months ago

We’re sorry your DuraXV Extreme+ battery is not performing well. It sounds like it is not charging properly and needs to be replaced. You may qualify for a free replacement battery, but we will need to review your case to make that determination.

Um, why???

Noah . 4 months ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

The best flip phone out there, solid item, good quality, no bugs, no delays, good service, but the texting is like the phone hates you, like a deep hate, no t9 or a similar software like the other flips have, it's not made for texting on less you wanna work on your self and learn how to be calm in annoying situations

Kyocera Customer Support - 4 months ago

Thank you for the positive feedback about the quality, performance, and ruggedness of DuraXV Extreme+. When this phone was first launched, its predictive text entry did not work like T9 and we received a lot of constructive comments about how to improve it. After developing and testing enhancements to the feature, we released a software update which enabled text entry similar to T9 which has received a lot of positive feedback. You can enter this text entry mode when in a text entry field by pressing the Left Soft Key and selecting Prediction. Please make sure your phone is running software version 1.300VZ or higher. If you have any questions or additional feedback, feel free to contact our customer support team at 1-800-349-4478, or through our support page kyoceramobile.com/contactus/support/. Kyocera

How do I make the vibrate only ringtone as loud as possible? I have it on Strong vibration but we can barely hear the vibrate tone because it’s so quiet. We need it to vibrate and make a loud vibrate tone.

Answer from Kyocera Customer Support4 days

The purpose of the vibration motor is not to make a sound, but to generate a vibration. However, we suggest you try different vibration patterns. Some of those will be more noticeable than others.

Can the phone mute or block texts?

Thanks for your inquiry. Yes, to block text messages on a Kyocera DuraXV Extreme+, you need to navigate to the call history, select the desired number, and then choose the "Add to call rejection" option. This will prevent future calls and text messages from that number.

Eddie . Jun 7, 2025

Hi, the E4811 claims to have group texting, but that is misleading. When you send a text to multiple people at the same time, they each receive an individual message, and there is no actual group thread. Do you have any basic phones that allow this?

Answer from Verizon Customer Support22 days

For assistance with device troubleshooting, please contact us: https://www.verizon.com/support/contact-us/ -Joseph

Was this answer helpful?

Answer from Kyocera Customer Support22 days

E4811 does support group messages, but it is not enabled by default. Please launch the Message app; press the Right Soft Key marked Options; select Settings; select Group Messaging; scroll to On; and press the Center Navigation key to set it to On. Then the phone will send group messages instead of individual messages.
