Disable internet and enjoy freedom from distractions as you communicate.

Jonathan . 17 days ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

This is a great phone for anyone looking to have simply talk and text. It allows you to take apps off and disable the browser, it allows you to put that behind a code, so that an employers or parent is the only person who can add back on Internet access. It is also very durable and water resistant, I am very thankful to have found it, it is such a peace of mind to have such a durable, distraction free way for people to reach me.

Utter Disappointment !

bob d . 2 months ago

Can not stand this phone,mainly the prediction mode of text instead of T9. Why should i type two letters such as ''in" and come up with "generator", or "to" and come up with "tomorrow" and then have to scroll through five to ten words to select the one I typed in. It tries to be a smart phone and fails miserably.i bought it because of its ruggedness but have decided I am money ahead to replace twenty, $14.00 plain simple flip phones for the same price of $280.00. then pay a $50.00 + upgrade fee when I as a customer feel like it is a downgrade over the previous model.Each time the new model comes out it is lesser than it's previous model in too many ways to mention. Doesn't even come close to the old Motorola model it replaced not even a half way decent camera>

Kyocera Customer Support - 1 month ago

We're sorry about the frustration you have had in adapting to your new phone. The latest predictive text entry solution on DuraXV Extreme+ is designed to learn your word usage over time and adapt to it, so it should become more convenient as you use it. Make sure that "Learn new words" is turned on. To do this, start entering text in Prediction mode, then press the Left Soft Key. Select "0. Text Options." Select "1. Learn new words" and turn it On. Kyocera

So far so good

Cherry 24 . 2 months ago

So far so good....only thing is having to manually turn off and on the wifi calling. But thats only a minor irritation that can be lived with. We needed a rugged phone that he wouldnt break easily. We shall see how it holds up as rtime goes on.

Kyocera Customer Support - 2 months ago

Thanks for your purchase and for leaving this 5-star review. Without more information, it's difficult to determine the need to turn on and off Wi-Fi calling. However, you can make doing so easier by assigning a programmable button!

1. From the Home Screen, open the Menu
2. Select Settings & tools
3. Select Settings
4. Select Programmable keys
5. Choose a preferred key then select it
6. Choose Call Settings to program this shortcut

Now, you can press and hold your selected programmable key to launch Call settings for faster access to Wi-Fi calling options! Kyocera

Lost of some options with newer model

Ronnie . 2 months ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

I was glad that I could still get the same type of phone. However as a newer version of my previous phone it did lose some functionality that I had before with the old phone. One of these is the option to forward photos received with texts to my gallery. Another is to be able to select a different ringtone for specific contacts. The ability to select text messages to delete instead of deleting one text at a time. These are just a few.

No Review, Because I still don't have order.

Steph W . 3 months ago

Never got my purchase. Verizon makes you sign for delivery through Fed-Ex. Fed-Ex tried to deliver on Tuesday at 11am, we were at work. No attempt was made to deliver on Weds.. Wife stayed home on Thursday. Friday they attempted at 1pm, again we were at work. Noted said, 3rd and final attempt and that they will be returning it to sender. There was no 3rd attempt as I have to 2 sticky door tags and camera footage to show only 2 attempts. Between Fed-Ex and Verizon, they need to get there customer care back in order. So, for now, I still do not have the phone I ordered, in which I paid outright for...

Kyocera Customer Support - 3 months ago

Can I do Google searches and look up directions on this phone? Can I use it to check and send email?

Yes, you can use the Browser on DuraXV Extreme+ to visit the Google webpage and do online searches. You can also use the Browser to visit a mapping website, search for a location, and get detailed directions. However, it will not be able to provide turn-by-turn navigation. The phone comes with an email app that can connect to a variety of email providers, including Google and Yahoo, but it no longer works with Microsoft email which now requires a newer authentication method.

Does this phone play music? Looking for a VERY basic phone for my teen - we do NOT want her to access the internet or social media. Just calling and texting. But she’d enjoy music too.

Answer from Kyocera Customer Support11 days

Yes, DuraXV Extreme+ has a Music Player which can play music stored on the phone or an SD card. It can also play streaming music from web pages using the Browser.
