Caterpillar CAT B30 Dual SIM IP67 (GSM Only, No CDMA) Factory Unlocked 3G Cell Phone (Black) - UK/EU Version

Got this for my dad because he always drops his phone somewhere ie water or in mud. Phone is rugged and strong, easy to use. No complaints its also dual sim

Had a lot of difficulty getting it activated and contacts transferred. Finally able to get it at the second store. Works very well now.

Very cool!

HAD HOPED TO JUST SWITCHED SIM CARDS AND BE DONE. NEW PHONE REQUIRES VERY SMALL SIM CARD. SORRY I WASTED THE MONEY . STILL USING SAME OLD BR.ICK. THREW NEW PHONE IN GARBAGE, LIVE AND LEARN. DON'T BELIEVE WHAT AMAZON SAYS

It's a simple and rugged phone and looks great. Problems are numerous though. Texting is a nightmare. Predictive text input is almost unusable. Completely illogical in so many regards. The torch is a joke, it's only just strong enough to stop me from bumping into furniture. Camera is a waste of space, completely out of focus. Other than that I've set it up so the battery lasts for ages, and it is nice and loud which I like. If ALL you want to do is make phone calls, then this will work for you. If you want to make calls, text message and have an emergency torch on hand (the three things I need out of a robust work phone) then this scores one point out of three. Very disappointed. I won't be buying Cat phones again.

I got this to replace my 2G MANN phone after I lost my 3G Plum phone on the bus. Pros: fairly durable (though not as durable as my MANN; screen scratches easily), buttons, nice simple phone, dual SIM, lightweight, earphone jack supports headphones for talking as well as listening. Cons: battery life. Both my MANN and Plum phones could go days on a charge with heavy use. This phone only lasts 1 day on a charge. I have not used the radio function. I cannot (yet) figure out how to set an audible alarm without having an audible ringtone. UPDATE: The FM radio function is awesome; it works very well. I lowered my star rating and am currently looking for a replacement because of the button lag time that has developed with use. The delay between when you press a button and when the phone registers that press is so long, it's really difficult to text or even dial a phone number. I have to pause and wait for the phone to catch up when dialing numbers, and sometimes the phone doesn't register all the numbers I've pushed.

Very light to carry, works perfectly, exactly as I wanted. Would recommend and buy again if needed!
