So many negative comments about this phone... are you sure you guys bought the original thing? I mean, i have mine now for almost 2 years and no complaints. I work in the construction and we build oil and gas refineries. I've been in the deserts of Saudi and Algeria with this phone. This phone in my opinion is a survivor!!! Just imagine my daily work in the harshest climate: Extreme temperatures, sand storm, dirt, sweat and i had this phone all along... not to mention 1 time when i was climbing the safety ladder and it slipped out my pocket, accidentally dropped on the pipes below and then to the concrete pavement (about 8 feet in height) and it works fine, just minor scratches on the corner. So yeah, no BS, this thing leaves up to its name. CATERPILLAR.. tough equipment, tough shoes, and yes tough phones. Now they have released the new CAT S60 and i can't wait to get my hands on that badboy.

I really love this phone for its toughness, especially cause I keep dropping my phones on the floor and this one works still even after countless drops :) Although there is one thing that really gets on my nerves. If the phone drops on the screen hard enough the microphone will get disconnected. And it really is a bother cause since it happend for the first time, about 9 month ago, I have to take to repair shop about every 3 month. And there is no display warning it happend, I just make a call, or recieve one, and the person on the other side can´t hear me. Wish it could be permanently fixed somehow :/

Look, why are you all telling shit about this phone, that i know it is not true. I know this because i am using this phone for about a year and a half now. Yes its true that i had my lcd and mobo changed, but it was for free and now its all good. Its not laggy, i can play high end games like asphalt 8 on high settings with no problem... and the lcd quality isnt realy that bad, its decent I bet that you had ever neither that seen this phone. The same thing was for lenovo k5 note, it was the worst phone for users on gsm arena and it turned out to be great phone with no problems at all. It realy bothers me that you post comments like this, so when you are buying the phone and you see that comments it turns you away. Your are just jelaous.

Any way put it on a charger,a after 5mins press power key and + and - button on the opposite side, it should turn on. Try some updates etc. That's about it...

Worst phone I've ever owned, it started falling apart after a week, and I cracked the screen in a month just by keeping it in my pocket at work with the screen facing in. When I tried to get the phone fix the customer service was horrible, and I eventually just gave up and bought another phone.

My husband purchased this phone in January 2016 and it has never worked. First he couldn't answer any calls coming in. Took it into the store where we purchased it and they were puzzled too but eventually got it working. Then he couldn't make any calls so again took it to the store and again they got it working after an hour of trying and leaving it with them. One day it got wet and so we took it back into the store and they sent it for repairs. They repair center would not repair it even though it was still under warranty. We were told to ensure the clip on the side is always closed which is always has been or it wouldn't be covered. The CAT site says it is "waterproof for up to 60 seconds (1 min) at a depth of 3.5ft" Well it isn't. It was not in 3.5ft of water and not for 1 min. When it got wet, it was picked up within 2 seconds. This is a very expensive phone that doesn't live up to what it is marketed as. The site also says it is military standard. If the military is using a similar phone, they better get another. The CAT phone sucks. I contacted CAT and told them of the situation but have not heard back yet. Don't buy this phone.

Might be rugged but don't get it wet. I'm a bartender and dropped my Cat s50c into a tub of iced bottled beers. Phone wasn't in there more than 10 seconds and the screen went black. Back of the phone was hot and a short while later could see condensation in the back camera lens. Mil Spec? Not. Going back to a Kyocera Brigadier,

First the good: this phone has a decent screen and is reasonably rugged.
Now the bad: the phone freezes up all the time with a dark screen sometimes in the middle of a call, it is very glitchy and loses GPS signal in the middle of town, won't connect to cell towers unless I turn it on and of repeatedly. Also the camera is just really poor quality, too. Because it is running on an older OS, many apps do not work properly.
At any given point, my kids' i phones pull up data much quicker, and we're all on the same plan.
Finally because I wasn't able to buy this phone through T Mobile, I have virtually no support. The CAT support is truly useless. They have no idea how the phone works.
I can't wait to get a different phone, this POS just stresses my day out to no end. Smart phones are supposed to help us not hurt us.

This is the worst phone I have ever owned. The phone won't hold a charge, it not as rugged as they say. The support is useless they gave me a bogus number. They don't sell but one charger for the phone.u give them your number and they are supposed to call u back and they don't.this phone is a joke. My 4s battery last longer than this phone. Do it homework I don't advise getting this phone.if they helped me out I might think differently.but their attitude is once they sell the phone it your problem. I would get a cheap phone from Walmart before I would get this phone. I am not even going to give it the lowest rating. good luck....
