The cord it comes with had a short in it. I never asked for a replacement cord. Phone doesn't charge well if you don't have the original charger.

A good idea gone WRONG!!!

Icemedik . 1 month ago

As a 1st Responder, I thought this would be the ideal phone for me. The Kyocera flip phone we keep in all of our ambulances. I even gave my parents the same flip phone. So the smartphone has to be even better. WRONG. The only good I can say about this phone it is very durable. I keep having software issues. Losing contacts, photos. It will not sync my history or text to the cloud. No one can explain or fix this. I've had this phone for 9 months. I should have stuck with Motorola.

Kyocera Customer Support - 1 month ago

We're sorry to hear of the problems your phone is having with syncing. Based on your description, we are not sure what might be the cause. Please contact our customer support team at 1-800-349-4478, or online at kyoceramobile.com/contactus/support/, and we will try to assist you. Kyocera

Glitchy unreliable phone

MTMT . 2 months ago

I have previously had several Kyocera phones, and they worked ok. This one has been nothing but aggravation. I’ve exchanged twice for a new phone. Phone works for a few months and then the trouble starts. Can’t make or receive calls or texts. No reception. Screen turns sideways for no reason and locks up the phone. Called Verizon and Kyocera the last time, and they could not solve the problems. I used to really like this brand but not anymore.

Kyocera Customer Support - 2 months ago

We're sorry to hear about the problems you've been experiencing with your phone. Please make sure that it has been upgraded to the latest software. Then, if the problems persist, please contact our customer support team at 1-800-349-4478, or online at kyoceramobile.com/contactus/support/, and describe the problems that you are now seeing with your current phone and we will try to assist you.

Not an Apple

James . 3 months ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

If you’re used to an Apple product, this is not as user friendly.

Kyocera Customer Support - 2 months ago

Hey James. Thanks for leaving four stars despite your difficulties. Yes, DuraForce Ultra 5G differs from Apple products in many ways – however, customers appreciate its ultra-rugged design, ultra-loud speakers, and ultra-customizable operating system. If you have any questions, please direct message Kyocera Mobile on Facebook. Kyocera

Worst Phone

Anthony . 3 months ago

This is the worst phone I have ever had. Verizon has replaced it 3 times already and on phone now waiting to have it replaced the fourth time. I have had battery issues, software issues, charging issues and now the screen is going black, So I can not turn it off, charge, receive calls or anything. I am paying $800 for a phone that needs to be replaced about every 6 months or so. Verizon will not let me out of the contract They just keep send me a replacements or they tell me they will give me a free new phone but I still have to pay for this one as well. I highly recommend not getting this phone it is garbage. I have been with Verizon or over 19 years and lately between this phone and the customer service it has been a nightmare.

Vince . 3 months ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

I have had this phone for over 2 years, and, I have put this phone thru the wringer! Used and abused this phone held up! Long battery Life, Great pics and just very reliable!

Kyocera Customer Support - 3 months ago

That's excellent! We're so glad to hear it's held up over two years with heavy use. Thanks for leaving this 5-star review. Kyocera

Love KYOCERA

Jamie . 3 months ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

I have had several KYOCERA phones and have had no issues with any of them. Are they super fancy...No These phones are designed to take a beating and keep working. And that's what they do. You don't really need a case or screen protector because the phone it's self is encased already.

Kyocera Customer Support - 3 months ago

Yes! Our phones are built strong inside out for tough jobs and hard workers. We're glad you've had great experiences with our rugged devices. Thank you very much for writing this 5-star review. Kyocera

How do I turn on Hearing Aids connectivity for phone calls?

Answer from Kyocera Customer Support8 months

The way in which you connect a hearing aid to DuraForce Ultra varies depending on the type of hearing aid. If it uses T-Coil, you can enable that in Settings::Accessibility, by turning on "Hearing Aids". If your hearing aids use Bluetooth, then the method different and the instructions that came with the hearing aids should work. There are a variety of hearing aids available on the market and a single answer will not work for all of them. Please contact our customer support team at 1-800-349-4478, or online at kyoceramobile.com/contactus/support/, for further assistance.

Are there any QI charging phone cases or clip/magnetic power packs for this phone?
