Finally. A work company made a work phone.

[@TheDigitizedSignPainter]

Right???

[@stateofdisorder1]

Them made them in the early 2000’s. CAT and Jeep both had phones. I need one of these for my dad. He’s in his 70’s and he refuses to use anything but flop

[@brad349miller]

CATs been making phones for a while. Kyocera has too.

[@hugopereira5640]

LOL I remember seeing a CAT smartphone in like 2013. It had really crappy specs even for the time, tho. Would probably take 30 min just to open the browser.

[@alexgarcia3900]

That thing is a POS. I bought it over a year ago as a minimalist phone and the thing crashed all the time and it wouldn't even receive calls. The only reason I got it was because it had KZbin and Google maps but it was pretty worthless and everyone thought I was a drug dealer lmao 🤣

It's biggest feature is limitation, giving you everything you need, and nothing you don't. This is not for the modern fat American male, taking selfies in the bathroom and spending hours on Tiktok. This is for the working man.

I’m about to pick one of these up and the selling point for me was the waterproof at 5 feet and the drop test at 6 feet. I work on a golf course and deal with water A LOT, plus if this falls off a piece of equipment or something I’m not going to panic. I’ve yet to hear anything bad about this phone Update: I’ve put this phone through it’s paces. The plastic will scratch somewhat easily on concrete (for obvious reasons) but otherwise it has held up tremendously. Absolutely worth it.

I use a 40 dollar flip phone for work (can't have cameras so I drilled the camera out to keep my personal phone intact) and honestly in terms of reliability it's great, it does exactly what you need it to do and nothing else.

I have a couple of questions, hopefully you see this in some way shape or form: Firstly, what is the audio quality like on this phone? I'm looking for a dumb/flip phone with spotify capabilities, what would you say is the audio quality on this device? Secondly, considering I am not the main audience for this particular phone, would you recommend this phone for people wishing to quell their phone addictions? I am currently in need of a new phone and it may be a good opportunity to fix my habit; if you do not recommend this phone for that purpose, would you happen to know of other phones which could do the better job, albeit with some features like cameras, GPS, audio/spotify, etc.? Thanks in advance!

I am bewildered how and why there's no audio jack. The usb adapter dongles always have issues and imagine plugging on the side and putting that in your pocket... Evil design. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. :(

[@Electroniczdoodz]

Can the “action button” be used as a push to talk button for the Zello app or any app that uses push to talk? The phone looks like it has an older version of android, so I’m assuming not.

[@jessicaramirez9098]

I have this phone and have been using it for about a year now. I really love not having a smart phone. I got this one since all the other new flip phones are cheap feeling, I wish it was a little smaller. But I am a girl with little hands and this is made for blue collar men who need a meaty phone lol But it is nice just having a phone that is ONLY for calling and texting.

Hello!🍀 I was wondering if you could tell me more about this phone? I need a new one as my old smart phone is so outdated i can't even use email or maps. So my question is, how outdated is the phone? Idc for social media on a phone; i just want some basics like email, maps, translate, browser, speech to text, dropbox or similar to transfer pics, maybe a few puzzle/word games and google lens but i could live without those last 2. I'm also worried of it being not supported in like, a year because it's honestly hell not being able to use basic functions on my phone. I also live in Canada so I'm worried about it not working here. And are the batteries easy to find if i need to replace them? I know this isn't a smartphone but I've hated smartphones for years, but like some of their uses; but i terribly miss the cool look of flip phones as well as buttons!🥺 Sorry for all the questions, but i really appreciate any help you could give.🌻 And if you can't, no worries i understand!:-) Also ty for being honest about this phone, it's helping me decide what i should get!
