T9 is not as good, what happened to xT9 from previous models? When you press 4, a capital I should always be the first option. This would make texting much better. Please change the messaging app layout to not have the contact photo so large either. It'd be better to have more space for the person's name/number and the preview of the last message.
Second worse phone I've ever had. Every call is listed individually instead grouped by name or number. Doesn't have talk to text which the lowly Cingular flip replacement had until a software update removed it and Google Assistant. Keypad regularly types the wrong letter. If I could get rid of it I would but it's past the trade in period. I hate it. Rugby was superior.
I received my Kyocera DuraXE about a week ago. I'm very pleased with it and would recommend. I wanted a reliable phone that would support a less technology focused lifestyle. Easy to use. Does what I need. No more temptation to be staring blankly at smartphone screen for my remaining life. For me it's a great escape from smart phone-itis. Great for anyone seeking simplification. Expect an adjustment period if you are moving over from a smart phone along with some of the relearning and setup time that may result with a different type of phone.
This is a sturdy, hefty, reliable flip phone that you & your parent will trust. The keys respond properly. Yes it costs more, but it works which is why you got them a phone in the first place. Only complaint- I couldn't add my special ringtone.
Numbers stick, causing a long tone which creates a big problem when trying to enter a response or account number. Also after a call is received the phone seizes & has to be rebooted. I was forced to replace my 3g with this 5g phone.
I got this to transition back to a simpler phone and spend less time staring at a screen. It's big and heavy but I got used to it. If you want something for calls and texts, it does the job. This is not a phone I want to haul around and look at, and that's a good thing!
