There's a lot to love with this phone -- and I do

contrarian . 2 months ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

What drew me first to the DuraXV Extreme was its ruggedness. It truly can take a punch and come back for another. My balance isn't what it used to be, and I've fallen several times, with the flip being the first thing to hit the ground. If I'd been carrying a smart phones, I'd still be picking glass shards out of my palm. And while I don't shower with my Kyocera, it's good to know it can submerged in water and not be bothered by the experience. Sure, there are features I enjoy that smart phones do better, photos and videos being two examples. And sometimes it can take a moment or two to access texts, but never long enough that it's annoying. And while I definitely didn't choose the DuraXV for its Internet browsing capabilities, it does allow me to follow links someone has sent me. Bottom line, this compact beauty is just the ticket for me. It has lots of features I use daily, and with its long battery life, it requires almost no muss or fuss. I guess the strongest thing I would say is that after several of years of heavy use, I love it as much as the day I brought it home. Oh did I mention it? Its call clarity is superb, which I guess after all, is pretty important.

Durable, simple phone that just does phone stuff.

Alex . 4 months ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

I've had mine for about 8 months now, overall I like it. The phone itself is very durable and has held up well to my abuse so far. The external speaker is really loud. It does have a glitch or two every now and then, mainly with texting. For example sometimes when viewing an attached picture it will show the wrong one, if I get 2-3 texts in quick succession it lags for a second or two, and sometimes while typing the word will lag as it wraps to the next line, throwing off the character im trying to type. Those are my only real grievances though, other than that its a great phone. Call quality and volume are great, battery lasts 8-10 days with battery saver on, camera is nothing special but way better than flip phones of 10 years ago. The web browser works OK but I cant stand to use it for longer than 5 minutes, which is fine since if I wanted a web browser I'd have kept my smart phone. It can even run some apps if you install them manually (No app store on here, but APK's can be installed if you know what your doing). I wasn't thrilled about the price, but there isnt much to choose from in the basic phone market anymore. Overall, its a good basic phone, if you want a simple machine that just makes calls, texts, and takes average pictures, its great.

Overpriced, limited functionality, horrendous battery life, avaricious pro vider

Gary_gouged4_2LONG . 5 months ago

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.

ONLY FLIP PHONE ON THE MARKET THAT'S RELIABLE!!!!

Tara . 5 months ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

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!

Kyocera Customer Support - 4 months ago

Thanks for complimenting DuraXV Extreme's durability, reliability, cellular connection, and overall high quality. We appreciate your kind words and taking the time to write this 5-star review. Kyocera

I am really pleased with this phone

Candle . 6 months ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

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.

Kyocera Customer Support - 6 months ago

We're glad that you had such a positive experience with your previous Kyocera flip phone that you eventually purchased another. We hope it lasts you many years. Thanks for leaving a 5-star review! Kyocera

Basically the best for those who simply want a phone w/text

Muskiejo . 7 months ago

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.

Kyocera Customer Support - 6 months ago

We agree that DuraXV Extreme is perfect for consumers who prefer uncomplicated and affordable devices. Thanks for leaving a 5-star review. Kyocera

Great phone for my vision impared wife

racnar . 9 months ago

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..

Kyocera Customer Support - 8 months ago

We're so happy to hear DuraXV Extreme works well for your wife with its voice commands and easy-to-distinguish buttons. Stories like yours are inspiring – thank you for posting this positive review. Kyocera

Messages keeps on freezing on me

the text messages keeps on freezing

I completely agree with another reviewer... messaging is awful

AG Smiley Face . 11 months ago

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.

Voice dialing . Mar 19, 2024

Does this phone support voice dialing? I want to open up and say something like Dial friend and have it accomplish that.

Answer from Kyocera Customer Support22 days

Yes, DuraXV Extreme does support simple voice commands, including voice dialing. To use this feature press the key with the microphone icon. Once you hear the prompt, say "Call" followed by the name of a person in your contact list or a phone number. The phone will then ask you if you want to call that person or number.

Carol . Jan 16, 2024

Phone won’t pair with my 2022 F-150 system. Worked fine until about 3 weeks ago.

Answer from Kyocera Customer Support2 months

We're sorry to hear about the problem you are seeing. We will share a couple of ideas and if those don't work, please contact our customer support team at 1-800-349-4478, or online at kyoceramobile.com/contactus/support/, for assistance. It is always good to try "Forgetting" the paired Bluetooth device from both the phone and the vehicle and then try pairing again. If you haven't tried that, please do so. Another thing to check is whether or not you can still pair the phone to another Bluetooth device and if you can still pair the vehicle to another phone. That may help you narrow down the problem. It is possible that the software in the phone or in the Ford SYNC system was recently updated and triggered this problem. To investigate this, check the software update history in each of them. To check the Ford SYNC version information do the following: from the vehicle touchscreen, tap the Home Icon, then tap Settings, then General. Tap About SYNC to see your current software version. The most recent software update for DuraXV Extreme was released in June 2023, so it was probably not updated in the last few weeks. However, you can check when your phone was last updated by going to Settings -> Software update -> Status. After you have collected this information, please contact our customer support team if the problem persists.
