Review: Excellent Device for Less Phone Fixation - Fantastic for someone looking to keep access to essential apps (banking, work apps, etc) but avoiding clutter and phone overuse. I use verizon which it said would not work but figured I would try it out and it works perfectly fine. Very sturdy as I work in a busy environment and have dropped it a few times. Excellent battery life and very simple to learn the functions of, been having a lot of fun learning how to type quickly with T9, but there are options for touchscreen keyboards. For the price, it can't be beat and I would recommend this to anyone looking to get away from typical smartphones but needing the functionality of one.
Review: Good but has big down fall - My husband loves everything about it other then when his phone dies and he plugs it back in the phone will not receive text until he takes the back off and take the sim out and puts it back in

### ⭐ Good but has big down fall
*by N***N on January 3, 2026*

My husband loves everything about it other then when his phone dies and he plugs it back in the phone will not receive text until he takes the back off and take the sim out and puts it back in

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Built To Take It
*by D***N on October 19, 2025*

I've own a few alleged "rugged" flip phones and this one outshines them all. From the moment you unbox it, you'll be struck by its heft. I've read review about people "downgrading" from smart phones so as to use their phones less with this product. I am just the opposite and just about anything you can do on a smart phone you can do on this phone, as well. The internet is a breeze on this phone, but of course the screen is smaller. I've also had it slide completely off a forklift and it didn't suffer even a scratch when it hit the cement. It comes with a lot of bells and whistles and is water-proof. I also keep it in low power mode (which doesn't affect performance) and it will last a day or more (depending on usage). It is also equipped with wifi and thus when using THAT, you aren't using your own data or minutes . A great little workhorse that has excellent sound and extensively VERY fast internet speed. I love this phone.
