Kyocera DuraXV Extreme+ tough flip phone

Chip . 7 days ago

Excellent flip phone with good reception in marginal areas. Very rugged, built to mil-spec. A bit heavy and thick, but worth it for durability and water resistance. Excellent voice clarity. Battery life is better than my previous phone.

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

I liked the phone in general having had the previous model for over 5 years. With technological advancements i was surprised there was not much improvements. It is heavier and the battery life is still about the same. Texting seems a little more complicated, but it maybe just my old age. Overall happy with the phone so far. Have not had that long.

Kyocera Customer Support - 4 days ago

Thank you for being a loyal Kyocera customer. We appreciate your 4-star review. Feel free to contact us on Facebook (@Kyocera Mobile) anytime with other comments, questions, or concerns. Kyocera

Push to talk feature is not working and text messaging is very difficult.

Kyocera Customer Support - 4 days ago

Hi Josh,

Thanks for your feedback. Push-to-Talk requires an active subscription with Verizon. Please contact Verizon to verify your PTT activation.

Regarding the text messaging issue, we’d be happy to assist. Please contact our customer support team at 1-800-349-4478 or visit our support page (kyoceramobile.com/contactus/support/) and provide more details about the difficulties you are experiencing.. Kyocera

Splash . 22 days ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

Works very good as a speaker phone I often use but more and more others are sending texts. When replying to them I would like to disable the underline delay when pressing keys.

Kyocera Customer Support - 11 days ago

We appreciate your 4-star review. The reason for the short time delay when typing on keyboard is to allow the user to select the correct character using the multi-tap function. If you feel that the wait time is too long, you can click the right navigation key to accept the current character immediately and then move on to enter the next character. Kyocera

DuraXV Extreme(+) texting UI is shockingly bad — any fix planned?

Chrizthomas2131 . 1 month ago

I’m a longtime “dumb phone” user and I want to like the DuraXV Extreme / Extreme+ (e.g., E4810). Hardware-wise it’s basically perfect for what I need. But the messaging experience is easily the worst part of the phone, to the point it’s affecting daily usability. The core issues: • Conversation view shows only a couple lines, so you can’t actually read messages without opening each one. • To view full content you end up drilling multiple layers deep, repeatedly, for basic texting. • Group texts / MMS are especially painful and confusing compared to any other feature phone I’ve used. This feels like a UI/UX problem more than a hardware limitation. Is there a firmware/software update planned to improve the messaging interface (full-message preview in threads, fewer clicks to read, less friction for group texts/MMS).

Kyocera Customer Support - 1 month ago

Thank you for your feedback about the messaging experience on DuraXV Extreme+. We appreciate customer feedback like this and continually work to improve our products. Kyocera

Setup and Function

Gerrald . 2 months ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

I was surprised how easy it was to set up the phone. I appreciate the simple format and menu, and the size of the buttons. Battery life seems to be very good. The only negative I have found is the speaker volume which for me could be a little higher.

Kyocera Customer Support - 2 months ago

We’re glad to hear DuraXV Extreme+ proved easy to set up, simple to use, and continues to deliver great battery life! But it’s not often we’re told that DuraXV Extreme+’s 100dB+ speakers could be louder; please ensure the source audio's volume hasn't been compromised. We appreciate your 4-star review. Feel free to contact us on Facebook (@Kyocera Mobile) anytime with other comments, questions, or concerns!

Do you need a tough little phone?

A repeat customer . 3 months ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

If you are like my husband and dont want a smart phone that you have to worry about breaking or no longer working if you drop it, get it wet or dirty, this tough little phone is perfect. This is his third Keyocera Dura phone over the past 10 years. The Dura, is just that, it is a DURABLE phone that can withstand someone that works outdoors. His phones have taken a few swims in ditches filled with water, been rained on and stuffed in pockets that may be full of dirt, but it keeps working! The battery IS replaceable, which is not the norm with most phones now. The only problem he has ever had with this little phone is the charging pin, and its the reason we are replacing the phone now. It would no longer charge. But his was over three years old and had lived a hard life. As long as Keyocera keeps making this phone, we will keep buying it.

Kyocera Customer Support - 3 months ago

It’s great to hear Kyocera DuraXV flip phones have made a real difference in your husband’s workday over the last decade, while surviving the occasional ditch or two! We truly appreciate your family’s loyalty and are happy to continue keeping hard workers like your husband connected in the toughest conditions.

Fantastic device!

Matt S . 3 months ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

I got to a point where I was clocking 7-9 hours of screen time a day...the majority of which was pointless scrolling. I hated it. Smartphone addiction is 100% a real thing, and after multiple "subtle" attempts at reducing my smartphone dependence failed, I decided something more aggressive was necessary. This device keeps me in touch with EXCELLENT battery life, EXCELLENT signal strength and call quality, and EXCELLENT durability. My only gripe - The predictive text option could be better, and takes some getting used to. Many time "normal" words are not in the list of options, while VERY abnormal words are. There are several other oddities that don't seem to have a rhyme or reason to them. Other than the not so friendly predictive text feature, this phone is a 10/10.

Kyocera Customer Support - 3 months ago

Thanks for choosing Kyocera DuraXV Extreme+ for your digital detox journey! We’re glad to hear our ultra-rugged flip phone has helped you reduce screen time while delivering excellent battery life, signal strength, call quality, and durability! We appreciate your 5-star review and honest feedback regarding Prediction mode. We’ll be sure to pass along your comments!
