dont buy it.
Absolutely use-less. Ring tone is no louder than a normal mobile ( thats when it does ring and hasnt turned itself off in your pocket) Key lock is a waste of time as it needs only one key pressed to deactivate. keep your current mobile and your 180 quid in your pocket. This is a case of misleading advertising dont be fooled.

JCB Toughphone
Not impressed so far,i have sent 2 back within the last month and a half, just waiting for the 3rd to arrive, this phone is the perfect phone for my husband with the work he does, he really likes the phone but it keeps switching its self off for no reason. I hope we don't have the same trouble with the 3rd.
I have given it a poor rating only because even its a brilliant phone its is no good if it keeps switching itself off all the time.....

Not very impressed
I only bought this fone on friday, i got it on the saturday, I am a farmer, which means my fone is in and out my pocket like a yoyo, passing by my knife,
Now i have a scratched screen, I have missed various amounts of calls.
I thought this fone was up to the job
looks likes its time to go back to the nokia,
Sad day for advertising, i would say,

oh dear JCB tough phone..... disappointing
I was so disappointed with my JCB phonethat i sold it almost immediately and it left my tender care this morning on its way to the new buyer . The first major let down was the ringtone of a JCB starting up. The ringtone was advertised as being extra loud because of the loudspeakers incoporated within the phone. I have good hearing and needed it to hear the phone go over my boat engine - if it had'nt been for the vibrating mode I would have missed calls .Don't go for this phone on the JCB tone alone . The next thing that disappointed me was the size -we are talking BRICK - but to be fair to Sonim the extra thickness all round may be necessary for the rough handling that's mentioned in the advertising . The next thing was "the easy to read , bright display" . This , I'm afraid , is far from the truth . I found that using the phone was awkard to say the least but I do have a long history of Nokia's . This phone has sadly fallen short , BEWARE !

Up to scratch?
After only 6 weeks my screen is badly scratched, it will be impossible to see anything through it at all after a few months, let alone 3 years. It wont stay on silent, still vibrates, there is no ability to silence an incoming call (you either receive or reject it). The phone ring is NOT loud, you would never hear this ringing over the sound of a JCB engine,very very dissapointing, gone back to my good old reliabnle tough NOKIA 3410, after 2 years that screen has not scratched

Reply to the above
It states that the phone has a mini usb port - that's where it'll take power from.
Just look for a mini usb charger on here.
As for a car holder, grab a universal one?

The builders phone
having had 3 phones in so many months and all of them broken due to getting wet or being dropped on site, this looks impressive. the only thing is, where to get the accessories, car charger and handfree. Even the recommended retail outlet phones for u have no idea and being out on the road alot of the time this is essential. any body knows??
