Phil N . 14 days ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

I have had this phone for over 9 years. It is really tough. Yes it has a small screen and yes it is old school texting. It has internet, if your eyes are not so good the fonts can be made bigger.This phone went into the washer I pulled it out dried off the exterior and made a call. No big sreen phone would ever do that. Its small so it will fit in any pocket. I work out in the woods and I have either lost or destoyed three flat sreen phones. This is truily extreme duty phone.

That's a fantastic story! We're glad to hear that your DuraXV Extreme+ still worked after being washed and could call out with a simple dry-off. Thanks for also referencing the availability of our largest font, MagniFont, for visually impaired users. We appreciate this 5-star review and your dedication to our line of DuraXV ultra-rugged flip phones! Kyocera

My new flip phone

Tom D . 26 days ago

It looks rugged but the keys are small and close together. The screen goes dark to quick. Needs to be charged often, like every 10 hours.

Kyocera Customer Support - 10 days ago

Thank you for your feedback about the ultra-rugged DuraXV Extreme+. We hope you get used to the keys after using them a little. If you want the screen to stay lit for a longer time, you can change the setting at: Settings > Display settings > Display backlight. You can set it to as long as 30 minutes. However, the brighter and the longer the dislay is on, the quicker it will drain the battery, so keep that in mind. There are a number of other factors that impact the battery life. If you are not using Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, make sure to turn those off. If you are not using Data for things like email or browsing, then turn off Mobile Data Access. Also, be aware that the strength of the mobile network in your area has a big impact on battery life. If the phone has to continually search for better coverage, it will run down the battery significantly faster. Contact our customer support team at 1-800-349-4478, or through our support page kyoceramobile.com/contactus/support/ to review how you are using your phone and we may be able to provide more tips for extending the battery life.

NLCS . 28 days ago

My new Kyocera Dura is definitely an upgrade from my old Alcatel flip phone. It is hefty, solid, and has a better screen. It follows links a little better but it is NOT a smart phone so if you need more than just a good basic phone, this is not for you. I just need my phone to be a phone so this is great for me.

Kyocera Customer Support - 10 days ago

Thank you for the positive remarks regarding DuraXV Extreme+'s screen and build quality. We're happy your new phone meets your needs, and we appreciate your 4-star review! Kyocera

New phone

Charles . 1 month ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

OK phone but Verizon couldn't transfer my contacts from older model to the newer model.

Kyocera Customer Support - 1 month ago

We're glad that you like your new DuraXV Extreme+. There are a number of ways to transfer contacts from one phone to another. One way that works on a large variety of phones is to transfer them via Bluetooth. Another popular method is to export the contacts from the old phone into a VCF file, copy that file onto the new phone, and import the contacts from the VCF file into the new phone. If you would like any help transferring your contacts, please contact our customer support team at 1-800-349-4478, or through our support page kyoceramobile.com/contactus/support/ Kyocera

I'm 38 yrs old, and I've had two of these over the past 9 years. All I need from a phone is to call and text. I build houses for a living, and this fits in my pouches perfectly and is extremely durable. I will continue to buy this phone for as long as they make it.

Was not an UPGRADE. It was a REPLACEMENT for the SAME phone. The insurance was NOT honored and I was charged for an UPGRADE at the cost of $35.00 UPGRADE FEE.

Awesome phone with a flawed charging system

ColbyB . 4 months ago

Love the phone but this is my 4th replacement due to faulty charging port, and this one is starting to act up after 1 week!
