Cat B100 Unlocked GSM 3G Military Grade + IP67 Certified Cell Phone - Black

This little brick of a cellular device does it's job, and does it well. I was looking for a tough-as-nails-with-a-battery dumbphone, and that's what I got.THE GOOD:1) As far as I can tell, this little guy is waterproof. My test: I sent my boss a text from the shower one morning, announcing I would be late. (As a side note, the alarm could be louder... but that's for the next section.)2) The buttons are substantial, and light up when you use them. I didn't realize how important this function was until my first phone stopped doing it.3) The notification light at the top right corner. It flashes when the phone is charging, or when you have an unacknowledged text message. I love being able to just glance at the corner without turning the screen on, thus preventing my boss from knowing that I am NOT actually paying attention to his death-by-powerpoint session. Once you've used it for a while, you won't even need to look down; you'll be able to see it in your peripherals.4) Could be used as a self-defense weapon. Jokes aside, the B100 is hefty, and I never flinch when it slips from my hand. It's smaller in my pocket than my old smartphone was, but has a weight to it that demands respect. Nothing flimsy about it. It's marketed to construction workers for a reason.5) The battery life is nothing short of spectacular. I can get my unit to last a week with light-regular use. The phone has a function allowing users to automatically turn it off and on at set times, helping further the battery life even more. While the battery is replaceable, I don't foresee needing to replace it anytime soon.6) Accepts micro SD cards for extra memory.7) FM radio (with headphones). Never thought I would use this feature, but it's actually kind of handy.8) Dedicated flashlight button on the side. This is awesome in and of itself. The fact that said flashlight can be used without completely depleting the battery is just icing on the cake.THE BAD:1) As hinted earlier, the alarm could be a bit louder. I sleep like a bear with a hangover, and this phone has failed to wake me up twice in the month I've had it. Might be more of a personal gripe, but it could be improved. Really nitpicking with that one.2) All the alarms/ringtones/text tones/alerts are CAT equipment sound effects. This is super cool in theory, until I'm on the job and I hear a backing siren go off right next to me. Almost had to change my pants the first time.3) The speakerphone is simply too quiet. I have some hearing damage, and I can't hear worth a darn while using the speakerphone unless I'm in a dead-silent room. Which, for me, is extremely uncommon.THE VERDICT:This little rig is great. It works as advertised, doesn't have much (if any) bloatware, and can take the beatings I repeatedly throw at it. The peace of mind that this little guy is safe in my butterfingers is relieving. 10/10 would buy again if lost.

I've been using this phone for about 6 months so far and I really like it. I was forced into purchasing it because AT&T quit supporting 2G service on cell phones and that made most brick styles unusable. I currently as of May 2017 using AT&T Prepaid GoPhone service and receiving no issues. I give this 4 star due to the following: You can set an MP3 as your ringtone but can only use preloaded truck noises as text notification. Same goes for the alarm, you can only use preloaded truck noises. You will need to be careful when setting alarms. It is really easy to bump the wrong button and switch it from AM to PM. I like simple technology and in a smartphone world, this phone does turn heads from the younger generation.

Water proof, crack proof, everything you could want in a durable phone. I dropped this phone and threw it (on purpose) multiple times, and it's still alive..Here's the amazing thing, The battery life..I had this phone and with regular usage it lasts 3 days straight without charging..also, with it off mostly and just used for alarm clock, it lasts a month or more without a charging!Now, here's the Really awesome part. It has power on off set up.So you set the time you want the phone to power on or off..It is a rare feature that no Android or smartphones have unless you can root it and who has the time/equipment to do that?This is straight up a people's phone.It has unlimited talk and text for $30. But no internet or email.. it is not a smart phone..They should make a smart phone that is water proof AND uncrackable, (screen) Because after decades, no one has created this yet. There's the no crack, but it's not waterproof..There's the waterproof but no crack. (eyePhone of course will string all of its customers along so they keep buying and buying and buying while they keep the most important features out so that customers will have a reason to buy their next phone!) What a rip off.But I'm ranting, point is, this phone needs to be made and the major companies are full of $##t because they are making billions on naive people that keep walking around with cracked eye phones and such. It looks so stupid considering how much $$ is put into these phones that last 2-3 years only...

Got this for my husband while doing construction work. He has used it daily until a couple days ago when he ran over it with a very large forklift. Can't tell it was run over, but has a tiny dent in it and now it won't turn on. Must have dented in just the right spot. Screen didn't even break. Very impressed! It's been dropped off of scissor lifts 30ft up onto concrete, gotten wet in the rain, and put up with the abuse of construction sites. Highly recommend for someone needing a phone that can't be broken easily!

This cell phone was purchased for a relative who dislikes modern smartphones and android. The phone provides basic functionality and the speaker feature is clear. The internet connection is minimal and the battery klife seems short. The display is rather small and I dislike that the user is unable to disable the diesel startup sound. The ringer is poor even when to to the maximum level and the buttons are too flat. However, the user has not complained about it's functionality since they just desired a phone for simple calls.

Phone not up to the quality of the Motorola G2. Fonts and font color almost unreadable in best light conditions. Unreadable outside.

Huge and bulky.

Absolutely top-drawer. Sturdy, easy to use, and still small enough to fit in a shirt pocket. The ring is loud enough to hear halfway across a corn field, and the quality of sound is exceptional. There is nothing wrong with this item for someone who wants a well-done simple phone - do not buy it if you want it to walk your dog or do the laundry.
