Been using the phone a couple of years. Rugged? Yes, but not like the old Motorola rugged flip phones. Also, ALL my previous flips lasted 4-7 days on a full charge. With the Extreme you get barely 2 days. And don't be fooled as the limited Android OS doesn't run apps. Web browsing is nothing other than awkward. Overall, if you're using the phone for calls and texting only, it's barely acceptable. If you're going to want more than that, buy a paperweight and save some bucks! Here's the kicker. I get a postcard from Verizon telling me my 3G flip phone won't work after the 5G Network upgrade, but that I could keep my then current plan. They charged me $270 for the Extreme which was $240 on the Verizon website, and then hit me with a $35 fee. To boot, my first bill reflected an approximate $5 increase. Some time later I get an email from Verizon telling me that they're raising my bill another 6 or 7 bucks, literally "just because"! As a senior on a limited income who endured the gradual but regular "tax"-so Verizon claims-increases for 2 decades (whereas my friends using another pro vider had the same exact bill every month) I was forced to abandon Verizon. Good riddance…WELL EXCEPT THAT after I ported the Extreme to another pro vider I am no longer able to perform software upgrades on the Extreme. Kyocera confirmed that upgrades are possible ONLY on the Verizon network. Do your homework. If you decide to go or stay with Verizon (good luck with that) avoid phones like this one, which lose important functionality on another network, especially if you think you might want to switch at a later date.

I've had my Kyocera Dura XV Extreme for about 4 years now, and it still works like new. All the flip tops made these days are of cheap construction and functions/programs are very unreliable as well as their tower connection. I can't figure this out, as the flip phones that first came out in the 90's were super reliable -- just like the Durz XV is now. PLEASE KYCOCERA, DON'T STOP MAKING IT AND IT DOESN'T EVEN NEED IMPROVING!!!! THANK YOU FROM ONE WHO APPRECIATES QUALITY!

I am really pleased with this phone

I had an earlier version of this product and was very pleased with it. I could no longer use it after the recent upgrade and was using a flip phone which Verizon had sent me. Since I didn't like the free phone that much, I continued to look around for a replacement. I was pretty happy when I found this one at nearby Verizon location. It's well made and durable and has all the features that I want or need. The sound quality is very good and I find it very easy to use. It seems to have more features than the previous one so I guess I'm still getting used to it. It's nice to have a phone that you feel confident in. I had the first one for quite a while and it still was working well. Since this phone seems to be of the same quality, I would expect it to give me the same level of service.

This phone is for those who want to keep it simple. This is my second Kyocera (I've had it for 3 years) and my husband also has one. Sure some of the fancy emojis don't show up from others, but those who know me are getting used to it. If you don't want to pay the big bucks, but want all the tools, this is not the phone for you.

This phone is a godsend for my wife who is visually impaired. There is so much functionality with this phone although the basic functionality of making calls is its most used feature. Buttons that are easy to feel and distinguish from one another. Voice activated calls. Voice commands for time and date. Like I said its a lifesaver. There are not many basic phones of this kind available anymore. This a rare standoud for a basic flip phone. SHe wont every really be able to use a smartphone. FOr as long as it lastes, I will be getting these over and over again for her..

I've really tried to find the good in this phone, but from the very beginning, the messages just CRAWL and FREEZE and DROP. It's a pity because my last Dura was fine. I hate this thing - can't wait to get rid of it. And no, it's not a memory problem.

Worst flip phone I've ever had - drops messages and freezes

I've had this Kyocera for a year and a half and it hasn't worked properly for nearly 11 months. Sometimes, I do not receive messages if two are being sent to my phone around the same time. Likewise, when I go to open my messaging app, it freezes. The only way I can look at messages are if I open specific messages through the contacts book. When I try to erase my messages, it freezes and kicks me out, so I can't free up memory. This is by far the most frustrating cell phone I've ever had. I'm an extremely patient person, but I wish I could smash this phone with a hammer a thousand times. One positive - this flip phone's hardware seems to be durable, but so was the LG vx8300 - that one lasted me nearly 6 or 7 years. Bring back something like that. Even the Samsung flips that Verizon was offering for awhile are better - and those all start malfunctioning after two years (I've had three or four and this was true for all of them). They're garbage, just not as terrible.

An excellent flip phone

If you're interested in strictly a cellular telephone, one that's extremely rugged and can take a fair amount of abuse, this has proven to be an excellent phone. This is my second Kyocera, Dura XV, phone, replacing one that I previously purchased more than five years ago. If you need to do a lot of texting or have access to the Internet, this definitely is not the phone for you.

I bought my Kyocera phone eight months ago, and I am very satisfied with its performance. I should note that I filtered the phone, and I do not have access to internet or email. However, I have used the phone to call, text (extensively), take minimal pictures, set alarms, add calendar events, and take notes. All these features are easy to use and perform well, but I often get feedback from people I call that I sound far away or like I am in a wind tunnel. This could be a result of poor 4G reception. Of course, the camera takes images with low resolution, and there is no selfie camera. This is to be expected, and I think the customer base for this product isn't really seeking a sophisticated camera. Perhaps my favorite aspect of the DuraXV Extreme is that it is rugged and indestructible. I have dropped the phone many times, and I can honestly say that it is no worse for wear. The flashlight is also excellent. Many basic phones do not have flashlights, so it was a pleasure to find one that has this feature. The phone's battery life is good. I don't use it very much daily, but on days when I text heavily or open it a lot it usually still has about 80% battery at the end of the day. The keypad is a number keypad with symbols and emojis as alternative text options, so it's not texting at lightning speed no matter what you do. I enjoy this feature because it makes me think of what I want to say before typing, but if you want a phone that you can whip out and text quickly and for a long time, this might not be the choice for you. The speakers are fine. My reception isn't that great, so sometimes the audio blacks out during calls. This is not an issue when I have good reception (around 3 bars). Overall, I would definitely recommend this phone to someone who wants a device that they can use but won't distract them with flashy colors, pictures, or addictive content. It is fine for teenagers, and children can navigate its menus fairly easily as well. I'm not sure if it is the best choice for seniors because the screen is small.

Thank you for your feedback and for the positive and detailed review. We have a tip that may help resolve the problem you are having with the audio in some phone calls. The DuraXV Extreme has more than one microphone in order to support noise cancellation. When it is in a voice call in speaker mode, the phone uses the second microphone which is in the area of the hinge. This allows the phone to perform better in speaker mode, especially if the flip is closed. If you are trying to speak directly to the mic at the bottom end of the phone when in speaker mode, it won't pick up your voice as well. So, when using speaker mode, try speaking toward the hinge area of the phone. If you have other questions, please contact our customer support team at 1-800-349-4478, or online at kyoceramobile.com/contactus/support/. Kyocera
