Rugged phones, any good??.....

[Rich Rule]

I have use one of these. Or very similar from the same brand.

 

Loud ringer, you can hear it over machinery. Rugged and lasts about a week if you don't use it too much.

The Sonim looks great but is alotta £wedge.

 

I've kind of got it down to either a CAT B100 or a RugGear RG100.... kind of leaning towards the RugGear because the torch looks great and it has alotta battery power: RugGearUK, Makers of the toughest mobile devices, RG100

 

It's a touch over £100...

 

 

Worth it??

cheers, Steve

Okay - so I kind of popped out to buy a couple of pizzas from Aldi and noticed this in a locked glass cabinet.... I asked a member of staff to find the keys to the locked display cabinet.

 

Too much of a bargain not to be missed, and it was the last one they had in stock, at about £40, (£45 inc two pizzas, grapes and a tub of milk).

 

So now I have an Aldi Workzone phone to match my Lidl Florabest strimmer; darn I love the aisle of dreams!!

 

cheers, Steve

Speaker on the Aldi rugged phone packed in after a week

 

Got a replacement one so will see how that goes. After a week of no charge, it's still showing a full battery!

I had one for over two years. Survived the first 19 months of my daughters existence as a chew toy/throwing toy. Excellent phone but retired for a tough smart phone (Kyocera KC-S701 - very good actually. Crap battery life compared the Aldi phone, but as someone who was smart phone phobic, it's converted me).

I tend to get a bit addicted to surfing the internet so I don't think a smart phone would be a smart idea.

I got the Aldi rugged connected to our wi-fI last night and fortunately it's rubbish at web stuff.

 

The battery is 2000mah so should last a fair while. My partners got an iPhone and is forever charging it or running out of battery.... yeah, the technology is great, but only if it powers up!

Rugged smart phones with Android installed are great for surfing the net as well as being (relatively) durable - and with slightly louder ringtones.

I've got the cat B15Q rugged smart phone & it's probably the best phone I've ever had
