Garbage phone.

disappointedverizonuser . 16 days ago

Heavy. Bulky. Terrible battery life. Buttons are too small. Hard to text on. I don't know why Verizon chose to discontinue the excellent LG Exalt when they went to 4G. I would trade this for an LG in a heartbeat. I gave it just one star only because zero stars wasn't an option.

Thank you for your feedback. Many of our customers love the rugged, sturdy feel of the DuraXV Extreme+. Regarding the battery consumption, DuraXV Extreme+ may look similar to an old basic phone, but it packs new features and new technology that allow it to support voice, messaging and much faster data over 4G LTE and WiFi networks. These features, along with other factors such as signal strength, roaming, app usage, etc., influence how long the battery lasts on a charge. Kyocera

This flip phone is great for people who are hard of hearing. The ringtone is greatly improved from my last flip phone. The speaker is greatly improved as well.

Would recommend the prior model without the plus (+), not the plus model

Sincere . 1 month ago

I had the DuraXV Extreme (without the plus) for several years and I really liked it. The battery was not holding a charge anymore, so I thought I would upgrade to the newer plus model and looked forward to the improvements they may have made. After a few weeks, I am exchanging it for the prior model. The plus model really is very similar to the older model and that part is good. There were no significant upgrades that I noticed though. However, the reception with an included 5G Verizon sim card was a lot worse than what I had before. Not sure if it is a Kyocera, Verizon or 5G issue, but after talking to Verizon tech support a couple of times and not getting any results, I gave up. The other major issue, which several others have also complained about, is that the predictive texting feature is much less user friendly than the XT9 option that was in the previous model. I know from reading other reviews that they lost their T9 vendor, but unless they can improve on their predictive texting feature, I am going keep the old model as long as possible and advise against others upgrading as well. I am glad to have a relatively high performance basic phone, but I think Kyocera went backwards with this new model.

Kyocera Customer Support - 1 month ago

Thank you for being a loyal Kyocera customer. DuraXV Extreme+ is similar to DuraXV Extreme in terms of wireless connectivity performance, so it should behave similarly on the network. However, the results will vary from location to location and over time. DuraXV Extreme+ does not include T9 functionality, because the vendor we used on previous models stopped offering their T9 solution and we were unable to find another T9 supplier. We are aware of some issues users are experiencing with the new solution and are working on improvements. Feel free to contact our customer support team online at kyoceramobile.com/contactus/support/ to describe the network connectivity issues and the areas in which they are occurring, and we will try to assist you. Kyocera

Terribly made

dtdt . 2 months ago

After using a Kyocera E4710 for 5 years, this phone is worse in every way. The software on the phone is terribly buggy. To make things worse, I dropped it into water once, and now it has clumps of black pixels along the edges of the screen.

Kyocera Customer Support - 1 month ago

DuraXV Extreme+ has been through extensive testing and we have received positive feedback from many customers. If you have discovered problems in the software, please contact our customer support team and share the details with us so we can assist you. Additionally, your phone has been designed and tested to remain waterproof for up to 30 minutes in 6.5 feet of water and it comes with Kyocera’s Standard 2-Year Manufacturer’s Warranty. If it has sustained water damage, it may be covered under the warranty. Our customer support team would also be happy to explain the details of the warranty to you.

NO T9!!!!

Walkerdog . 2 months ago

This phone has a ridiculous prediction text which is cumbersome to say the least. This new upgrade will be the end to a reliable phone!

Kyocera Customer Support - 2 months ago

Thank you for being a loyal Kyocera customer. DuraXV Extreme+ does not include T9 functionality, because the vendor we used on previous models stopped offering their T9 solution and we were unable to find another T9 supplier. Instead, we included a different predictive text solution in this model. We are aware of some issues users are experiencing with this solution and are investigating ways to improve its performance.

Currently I have the E4810 and I absolutely love it! I love it for its durability. I love it for its simplicity. I love it for its intelligent design. I love it for its longevity. If I was to buy another, it would be a Kyocera that is made in Japan!

50% good, Talk great, Text phone works against you

Justsimpple . 3 months ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

I love Kyocera bought the new model with out thinking twice, than I realized wait no normal way to text, just one option that is so bad I think it's designed to be bad I don't know otherwise how it can be so so off, To wrap it up if you use your phone mainly to talk and less then 5 text mags a day then it's the best device by a huge margin If you do text witch you probably are since flip phone are for talk and text, dont touch this modal, stay as far as you can this will drive you insane, i have one that is not even 2 months old and I'm not using it anymore It's just funny how all the the other companies managed to figure something out and Kyocera who outperforms in all other areas managed to get this issue so incorrect

Kyocera Customer Support - 2 months ago

Thank you for being a loyal Kyocera customer and for your feedback, both positive and constructive. As you noted DuraXV Extreme+ is designed to be rugged and perform well for a long time. Unfortunately, it could not include T9 functionality, because the vendor we used on previous models stopped offering their T9 solution and we were unable to find another T9 supplier. Instead, we included a different predictive text solution. We are aware of some issues users are experiencing with this solution and are working on improvements.

BRING BACK THE T9 TEXTING OPTION, THE PREDICTIVE OPTION IS BEYOND REDICULOUS

DAVE . 3 months ago

THIS IS THE 4TH DURA SERIES FLIP PHONE I HAVE OWNED OVER THE THE YEARS THIS SERIES OF FLIP PHONES USED TO BE THE SMARTEST DUMB PHONES ON THE PLANET, THE T9 TEXTING OPTION WAS GOOD ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE THE PREDICTIVE TEXTING OPTION IS NOT, IT IS HORRIBLE! I USED TO RECOMMEND THIS MODEL TO FOLKS, IF THIS PHONE HAD T9 FOR TEXTING ID HAVE GIVEN IT 5 STARS ACROSS THE BOARD AND STILL RECOMMENDING IT

Kyocera Customer Support - 3 months ago

Don't bother

David . 3 months ago

This was an "upgrade" from a previous Kyocera that we liked. This one removed xT9-word and replaced it with a generic predictive texting tool that doesn't even work for the example they include in the manual. Just got this phone 2 months ago and already we are not using it.

Kyocera Customer Support - 3 months ago

DuraXV Extreme+ does not include T9 functionality, because the vendor we used on previous models stopped offering their T9 solution and we were unable to find another T9 supplier. Instead, we included a different predictive text solution in this model. We are aware of some issues users are experiencing with this solution and are investigating ways to improve its performance. Even with the current solution, a fresh phone will follow the example in the user guide which says that if the user types 42779 the word “happy” will appear at the top of the candidate word list. Over time, the solution will adapt to the user's word choices, placing words they select higher in the candidate list, so after a phone has been used for a while, it is possible that it will show the word "happy" further down in the candidate list.

Does this phone have a Do Not Disturb option?

Answer from Kyocera Customer Support2 days

DuraXV Extreme+ does not have a specific "Do Not Disturb" feature like a smartphone. However, you can easily silence ringers and alerts by pressing the Volume Down key multiple times while in standby mode until the volume is completely muted, including no vibrations. In this state, the phone will still turn on the LED for alerts and it will still play sounds for alarms.

I am looking to switch from an iPhone back to a basic phone. Is there any way to import contacts or at least an easy way to add contacts other than one at a time and needing to painstakingly type them in? Such as witch a PC or other method…

Answer from Kyocera Customer Support28 days

Yes, you can transfer your iCloud contacts to your DuraXV Extreme+. To do this: 1) From your Contacts on iCloud.com, select the contacts you want to transfer. 2) Then export them all into one vCard (.vcf) file. 3) Connect your computer to your DuraXV Extreme+ using Bluetooth and send the .vcf file to your phone. 4) When your phone receives the .vcf file, it will ask you if you want to import the contacts and/or which account you'd like to import them to. Once you approve, the contacts will be imported into your contacts list on the phone.
