We're likely not using all of it's functions, but in the meantime, it works well for my father who has limited dexterity and is hard of hearing. The voice activation feature is helpful since pressing buttons is often difficult for my dad. Training for my father's voice, however, was a bit tedious but once it's done, you don't need to do it again. The speaker is loud and because the flip top doesn't sit flush with the bottom, it is actually easier for my father to grip and open. We haven't dropped it in water but the fact that it is water resistant is also a good thing. So far, so good.

Great phone. A little more bulky then the duraxv, and A LOT more expensive. I bought it because I use T-Mobile, and the older one doesn't have the bandwidth for T-Mobile, and it was missing calls. This one does. Also, this one has the ability to install Android apps. It's not that practical because of the small screen size, however it's a nice feature

I got this phone after my old flip phone died. This is a rugged phone and great value for those of you who like old fashioned style phones. It is very easy to use and I am sure that it will last me several years. I have had Kyocera in the past and love their phones, this phone is no exception. This phone has a nice weight for its size and is easy to read and set up. The battery lasts about five days before losing charge with light use. Love this phone!

The Kyocera XV E4520 is an excellant telephone. I would have given it 5 stars except it does not have and external switch for the flashlight and it does not have an electronic compass. The electronic compass would work even when there is no cell tower reception or repeater. The standard charging and data socket is reliable and well covered. The sonic speaker is fantastic. It is not class "A" sound but a good "C". The E bay supplier went to all end to supply me with a good phone. I certainly appreciate their efforts. It was listed as refurbished , but it certainly looks totally new to me. I am used to the older Casio phone with the drop in charging docks, but the Kyocers makes up a lot with the standard charging socket. It is rather awkward in appearance and it's heft. My wife saw I had a new phone wanted it for herself , but the chunky little phone saved itself for me. Thanks Ebay .Read full review

After learning about it's functions, it is a great phone for my purposes. Another words, I don't use it as a smart phone, it is specifically for calling and receiving calls only, a comm. device. At first the battery life span was a day, when turning off the 4G, and any other svc. that deals with the phone searching, the phones battery life now is for 3 days, and of course depending how much it's in use.

The phone is built well and would appear to be able to take some abuse and survive. It is "water resistant" to some degree, purportedly tolerates a brief immersion. It's a bit more chunky than a standard flip phone, but that is part of its durability, larger battery and larger display size thing. The phone is easy to program and operate. It flawlessly joined Verizon and performs like any phone I have used. It is not a smart phone, which I do not need. I only use a phone for calling and a rather minor amount of texting. So, don't expect this to replace an iPhone or similar. In summation, I expect (based on my 20 year history with flip phones) this phone will still be ticking quite a while down the road. So far I haven't any negatives with regard to this model. Jim

This item was as represented. It showed some signs of use/ware. As should be expected. The phone is "right sized" not too big or small. Has practical feaures with user friendly menu. By design made with durability in mind. I did not comment on, does it have small form factor. Not really sure what that is. To me it is tech-no-bable. I would recommend this item to those looking for a practical phone. As this time I would also recommend this seller.

I was upgrading from my Motorola Barrage. Everything on this new Kyocera was fine except for two very important problems. First, the phone connections were horrible. There were breaks and blanks in phone calls, sometimes it would hang up. When the phone is connected on a call, it only uses 1X connectivity, and that is a horrible connection. The phone worked horrible and I could not maintain contact. Second, the speaker is horrilble. It is very loud, but the speaker distortion renders the phone useless. In summary, the phone connection is horrible and the audio on the phone is horrible. Do not buy a Kyocera.

I received a two pack used Kyocera H-250 and one would not start up at all at first then it would not work on the network. After a day of using it it started turning on and off when plugged into charger. I would not work at all without the charger. I will be returning it and hope to get one that works. I like the sturdiness and specs on how dust proof and shock proof etc. I have been using mine for a couple weeks and battery seems to go quick maybe day and half. I dropped it about 3 feet onto floor and it shut off and restarted. Not real impressed but will keep it for a while. Camera is real slow and picture viewing takes a long time. I will report back when I resolve these issues. Maybe it being a used phone it is not working and needs replaced.

This is a durable well built flip phone offered by Verizon. It's dustproof, waterproof and has a large speaker that you can actually hear when you're on the phone. I use my phone to talk on! I don't send or receive texts messages or have any special apps on it. I might take a picture with it and the built in camera takes good quality pictures. I would definitely buy another one and I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a simple, well built flip phone.
