I wanted one of these since they came out. Finally bought a nice used one after my penny phone failed to provide what I needed. The Quantico gives me confidence that it will work when/if I need it. Signal is above average and it's easy to hear. Battery life is only average and there doesn't seem to be much tapering off of battery level. It just goes from OK to low battery in one call. I'm outside a lot so the water resistant feature is important to me as is the slightly larger and easier to grip profile.
If you are hard on phones, and just need a basic phone for calling and texting, this is the one to get. I drop my phone several times a week, sometimes off a 20 foot ladder. I have dropped it into a bucket of water and run it through the wash machine! Oops. I paint houses and it is often covered in paint. The second best part about my Quantico is that the reception is excellent. It is a bit chunky, and the video camera only takes a 10 second video. The camera is just so-so with a small screen, and doesn't work well in low light. All the abuse does eventually take its toll ( ran over one with the truck) and I am on my 5th phone but I will probably keep buying them till I can't find them anymore...

My comment to 1 phone does'nt mean that all are bad. I bought a refurbished phone off e-bay 80.00 plus 7.00 shipping. For Quantico being known as a well built rough and tough cell phone, (BULL CRAP) This phone has only one thing differant than any other cheap free phone from your carrier it has some good width with a good grips on the side. I work in the construction field were yes my phones are exposed to some movement during the day as being carried in my holder clipped to my pocket. Repair #1 (2) days of ownership Front screen cracked while in my pocket guess it happens from closing or pressure on screen fom bending, normal use during my day. Repair # 2 Center of hinge just decided to fall out. I have been to my cell phone store for repairs now enough that I now know 10 employees by there names. Like i said its one phone of millons made. I hope yours is better because I have had better Quality from free flip phones. So far I have $140.00 in my so called rough and tough Quantico cell phone which I owned for under 6 months when my LG ux245 lasted 3 years under the same conditions but the LG was free.Read full review
This is an excellent flip phone / great signal reception / durable phone - can take abuse ! I recently purchased (3) phones to replace the one I have used past (2) years . Other two will be put in drawer for back-up / US CELLULAR has no other flip-phone that can compete with this phone !

This is probably the best cell phone that I have ever had, & I have had SEVERAL!!! Motorola has always been my fav but with this one they got them ALL BEAT!!!! Where we live we dont have the best cell reception but with the Quantico I never have less than three bars at home and that is without one of those stick on antennas that I have had to buy for a lot of other phones that I have had... I reset my all calls timer every night when I plug the phone up & usually average about three hours of talk time daily... I usually send about fifteen or twenty texts, take some pics & videos of our one year old little girl that is just starting to walk & believe it or not listen to music (thru the supplied ear phones) for an hour or so too, while our daughter takes her daily nap, we have a baby monitor that lights when she wakes up so no hate mail please!!!... With the eight gig card I bought separately it will hold a TON or TWO of music, videos & pics... Haven't tried the water proof option yet but have talked on it in the rain several times & it is still working GR8!!! Best of all I got the phone for just under two hundred bucks!!! Would & do recommended this phone to ANYONE & EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!! Try one for yourself, you will not regret it!!!Read full review
