About this product

Product Information

For a cell phone that doesn’t just meet your standards, but exceeds them, consider the Samsung Rugby III SGH-A997. A compact package of a phone and device that is certified to Military Standard 810G, this phone can handle anything from drops and vibrations to rain and dust, and it still has all the bells and whistles one would expect from a Samsung smartphone. The Samsung Rugby III is IP67-certified, meaning this device is dust-tight and waterproof up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. With its Military Standard certification that means it is also salt-, dust-, humidity-, rain-, vibration-, solar-radiation-, transport- and thermal-shock-resistant. This is an ultra-rugged phone that can handle it all. A features list that is anything but basic on this version of the Samsung Rugby III SGH-A997 includes GPS functionality, call restriction features, and a 3MP camera with 2x digital optical zoom, all on a 2.4-inch screen that has superior clarity. The GPS provides turn-by-turn directions and proactive traffic alerts. The Samsung Rugby III call restriction features include being able to limit phone numbers to only those on the SIM card or in the device’s contact list—a great feature to avoid unwanted calls interrupting your busy day. The 3MP camera with the 2x digital optical zoom allows you to view the latest uploads on that super-clear 2.4-inch screen. The LCD display on the front lets you instantly check message alerts, battery levels, and the time and date. Use one hand to flip open or close the clamshell, and it automatically answers or ends your call. A powerful external speaker coupled with noise suppression provides clarity when engaging in a conversation. Texting is simple with the large display screen and a large center button that quickly opens the texting menu and sends your text messages along. Besides all the features mentioned, the design of this phone is stylish with its sleek black exterior. The compact design allows for this model of smartphone to fit just

    Good Phone

    I bought it for the speaker! But the buttons are smooth and easy to initiate. The number readout is fat. But I really like the phone as a phone. I'm a PC guy and have never used my phone to go online. It's an AT&T phone. It has their PTT function and their other network perks. But it works very well with other carriers when unlocked. Even if those other AT&T features won't be available. It has no WIFI. It's not a small phone. But it feels solid and is comfortable to hold. The intercom type speaker is large and works great! These phones can be found very affordable now that Rugby 4 is out. The cases are out of production so the selection is limited. But they can still be found and most are greatly discounted. I got a rubberized white snap-on one. So my phone looks like I have ...

    Good Phone - NOT WATER PROOF OR MILSPEC!!

    This phone is a decent phone all around however, it fails in one major area. This phone IS NOT rugged and water proof thus it IS NOT military specification. The back battery door barely sits in place when the metal lock ring is turned. I can stick my finger nail under the bottom portion and with very slight force pry the battery door off. I mean VERY slight force. The battery door doesn't even have a rubber seal to keep water out of the most vital area of the phone. Even if the door had a great fit, I don't see how it would still be able to keep water out. Not impressed with the design of this phone... It shouldn't be called the Rugby. It gives the impression that it's a tough phone. Maybe the Samsung Figure Skate would have been a better name.

    Working person phone.

    If you just want a rugged phone this is it. If you need a smart phone this is not it. You can get text and internet on it but is basically just a great cell phone that will last. The volume is great for older people and easy to read without glasses. I had 2 of these for 8 years before the last one finally died. It still worked but was impossible to read from leaving in sun on console of truck. I have dropped these countless times on hard surfaces and they still work fine. Only downside is the outer screen will scratch easily so don't put in pocket with hard objects and being a flip phone a case is awkward. A belt pouch is best. Better get one before they stop making flip phones.

    Dependable, does the job.

    Easy to operate, except that 2 steps are required to turn the external speaker on. Easy to hear and ring tone can be plenty loud enough to hear while in your pocket. Holds a charge and gets great reception. Main screen is sort of strange as you can't really see your wallpaper or picture through the translucent areas where the time and AT&T printing is located. Very good basic flip phone. AT&T stores know a lot about smart phones, but you are kind of on your own trying to figure out some things on this phone. Would be nice if it was a bit thinner. My second one and I replaced the Rugby 2 only for cosmetic reasons. Had to replace the sim card as this takes a smaller sim than the Rugby 3. Purchased a Sadapter kit in case I need to use the Rugby 3 as a backup.

    Samsung Rugby 4 - SM-B780

    I recently purchased a Samsung Rugby 4 to replace a failing 7 year old Motorola Tundra. The Rugby is easy to use and seems built well enough to withstand rough treatment (I'm a contractor). The battery life is quite good unless you have Bluetooth active. I was able to use the phone normally for 4 to 6 days on a charge. I added a hands free headset and with Bluetooth turned on, the charge is lasting 2 days or less. Other than that, I'm quite satisfied so far.
