Kyocera Duraxe E4830 Epic AT&T Flip Smart Phone 16GB Rugged PTT Wi-Fi LTE Black (Renewed)

Nice phone,It was like new.

Perfect

THIS PHONE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE UNLOCKED BUT AFTER I BOUGHT IT I LEARNED THAT IT IS LOCKED AND AM NOT ABLE TO USE IT.

This type of phone still has a place in the world, so if you are after simplicity, this is a great phone. Built very well, will sustain most daily activities. Simple to scroll through the settings and add contacts etc. I gave it a 4 because I think it a bit overpriced for what it is. Would be most difficult to sell, no bells no whistles. So I feel it should have been 1/2 the price that I paid….it was a “refurb”, not even brand new. Thats all.

Looks new. Great battery life. Heavy duty. Easy to use. Bigger than the last one but worth it. USB C connector is better.

works but wont stay charged longer than 12 hrs tried different batteries

Seller legit. Phone not fully wiped.'Renewed' , aka used. Not mint, brand new; found a few dings with magnifying glass. Appears tough.Issue: By the time I got it switched over to carrier I'm using, (phone was unlocked as advertised), and was getting it dialed in: previously owner's password is still active; past return point.I can NOT do a factory reset without this unavailable password. I can't go to att as I'm not using them. So, several issues and unchangeable settings are having to be ' lived with' . {Wish I had got a new unlocked phone.} I can only send/receive basic text messages, no pictures or web-links.The model appears an improvement; EXCEPT for some [CENSORED] person very unwisely positioning the back button directly under the (up/dn/lf/rt) directional ring. Previous model had it off to the right above the end/pwr button. Try to scroll or move down on web, goes back one to all page(s). Burns through my data like the sun would a pack of loose leaf paper dropped on (into?) it.Also: I'm unable to tell if its due to being locked out of doing to do a complete factory reset: but, this 'upgrade' for me does 1 thing better and 20 things worse. Twenty. Web holds fewer tabs, it keeps switching to 'magnie' font, its trying to play the apps game vs having straight menus, available settings to change are less, (the different type of notifications), less flexibility than an older model, and extra drama/bureaucracy for doing small things, (3 button presses <not counting up/de selections> now take 6 to 8) {with many redo's due to placement of back button }Summary: Only buy this model new, after a long 'hands on' testing.- Do not buy used phones.Stuck having to get my worth out of this investment. When I do get to replace this one; I look forward to the expenditure of resources to remove it from existence.End of line.

This review is more about the service and condition of the product received. Shipment was expedient and the product was like brand new. I had one of these phones for the Verizon carrier and was very satisfied with the durability and features of it that I wanted one for my new carrier; Pure Talk. I tried to port over my Verizon phone to my new carrier which uses AT&T service but I lost the functionality of sending text messages to email addresses and I completely lost the functionality of sending and receiving pictures. Now that I have the "same" phone for the AT&T carrier, I have all the functionality back.
