The next generation Verizon construction phone

9 hours ago

I am sorry this phone is great it is awesome however in my construction hands and on the job it's hard to hold this tiny phone I don't know what I was thinking buying this however I felt that I must go through with it now because she had opened the box and shown me the phone and informed me that she cannot put it back in and then put it on the shelf so I purchased the phone I'll just have to deal with it for the contract, Verizon has always been good to me and all the other phones that I've had from you were top notch heavy duty construction durable phones

Horrible phone

Greg . 2 days ago

When I ordered my phone I actually ordered the Kyocera Pro. But the lady with Verizon that was helping me decided I would like the Durasport better and that is what she sent me.I kept it because my current phone no longer worked. This is the worst phone I have ever had. Jumps screens, keyboard disappears, difficult to work with. It has been replaced due to a manufactures defect in the screen but they must all have that because the replacement does the same thing. The Pro was a good phone. Durasport absolutely not.

Horrible phone

Greg . 2 days ago

Crapocera

Steve C . 3 days ago

Glitchy. Will crash or switch apps by itself. This is a replacement phone from Kyocera to remedy the chaotic software update forced upon me. They have failed. I will never purchase a Crapocera ever again

" updated a flop "

Simple to small buttons in bad placement took it back in less than 24 hrs

This is insanity

Disappointed again . 1 month ago

I love this phone. It's just the perfect size to be rugged. But Kyocera keeps trying to update this phone to Android 12 and it just keeps failing. As the old saying goes "If it ain't broke don't fix it".

Still having problems not working

Timothy . 1 month ago

Got a new phone they did update in May and my phone is still having problems keyboard freezes up phone shuts off goes back to the beginning when I'm looking at something on the net phone will go back to the main page

Lots of issues

Nickname . 2 months ago

This model has been problematic since it was new. Off to a bad start when our company had to RMA several of them because they wouldn't even turn on or wouldn't respond to the lock button. Sometimes they don't get texts or voicemails until you toggle airplane mode. Factory resets and updates have made no measurable improvement. And since the latest update we are fed up with this embarrassment of a phone. Do yourself a favor and steer clear of this model.

Kyocera Customer Support - 2 months ago

Thank you for being a Kyocera customer. Some users have reported problems after updating to the software build released on March 6th. We have a remedy we can offer to customers experiencing instability and unexpected behavior on their phones following that update. Please contact our customer support team at 1-800-349-4478, or online at kyoceramobile.com/contactus/support/, and we will assist you. Kyocera

Worst phone I’ve ever had

Rwmm . 2 months ago

They sent me three phone in a row that didn’t work. The camera on the one I ended up keeping never did work quite right but by phone number four I figured it was the best I would get. Overall the phone has terrible service, the screen never was responsive the way it should have been, and the camera was absolutely awful. Only expect to be able to capture images perfectly still and that you’ll have to manually focus every shot. The battery quit charging within 12 months. Both with the cord and wirelessly. Avoid at all cost. Customer service is also terrible. I’ve had two models of duraforce pro and both were awful. This company should go under.

Kyocera Customer Support - 2 months ago

Your DuraSport comes with Kyocera’s Standard 2-Year Manufacturer’s Warranty. Since the battery will no longer charge via the cable or wirelessly, the warranty may cover this problem. Feel free to contact our customer support team at 1-800-349-4478, or online at kyoceramobile.com/contact-us/support, to report the charging failure and inquire about the warranty. Kyocera

Needs no stars, phone is awful

Worse Kyocera phone owned . 3 months ago

I bought this phone brand new from the Verizon store, I told them I would transfer my data but later realized he charged me 30.00 anyway. This is the worse phone I have ever owned, I do not even have service in my house and I live in town. It drops calls, ques my text for up to 3 days before sending. I basically never have data, it runs on my internet. Verizon agrees I have no service and that I live in a dead zone, gave me a whopping 20.00 off a month and I have been with them for over 25 years.

Kyocera Customer Support - 2 months ago

We're sorry to hear about the problems you're having, but no phone will be able to reliably hold phone calls or transfer text messages when in a dead zone. Kyocera
