Samsung Convoy 3 SCH-U680 Rugged 3G Cell Phone Verizon Wireless

Ordered from Prime Mobility the Samsung phones for Verizon CDMA service. They delivered promptly and well packaged. They were courteous in their follow-up to make sure everything was alright. It was great.The phone was new and has great features included, a music player with the memory card (not included)and I bluetooth'd it to my Apple air pods. Sound quality and finish were excellent. Not really much for web surfing but a clear sounding flip phone to speak on and listen to music and take photos (takes an external micro SD card). There is even push to talk button if you wish to subscribe to the walkie-talkie service through Verizon (no longer supported by VZW on these 3G phones, look up "Relay" cellular & wifi Walkie Talkies, which are great)

I ordered this phone in May for my husband and it is already malfunctioning.... he’s only had it for 3 MONTHS! Two days ago it started shutting off if he applied even the slightest pressure to the outside of the flip phone... now it just randomly turns off without even being touched.. so disappointing!! I have contacted Amazon to see what can be done. I will update my review accordingly.

A good tough phone that has done well through some pretty rough handling. I believe this is the 3rd time we've bought this phone. My husband is very hard on phones and these have always taken a good beating and mostly survived. A dive into a bucket of kerosene killed one (although it sort of functioned for awhile). A 2-story drop onto rock killed another. One survived an excavator driving over it (not sure how). The other plus is that you can make the fonts really big which is what older folks out in the field really like. No fumbling for glasses just to see what time it is or who is calling.

I got it for my dad who is hard of hearing. It's louder than most phones but still not loud enough. It's durable but also has unneeded features like the buttons on the front and the PTT button on the side. You can't disable them. My dad is constantly pressing them by accident pulling the phone out of his pocket. Also, the headset isn't very loud either during a call. And the charge port is micro-usb so it's brittle by default and it's not an easily accessible port due to it being recessed to make room for the "flap" that covers it. Also, for some reason, it's bat life isn't the best either. Flip phones used to last at least a week but this one barely lasts a full day of normal use. I'm tech savvy and have looked at all the features and turned off any that my dad will never use and it's still bad bat life.If you need a cell phone with a fog-horn going off when it rings like I do, this isn't it. If you want a semi-loud phone vs most and you need something durable, give this a shot.

Purchased this phone for my husband. He absolutely loves this phone. He no longer has been taking pictures from his pocket. All of the keys are locked while the flip phone is closed. The ringer is loud!! Great feel. Just right for his hands. He has had no problems with hearing voices or dropping calls. If your man is a rough and tough guy who is looking for a great flip phone get this phone. This phone was purchased as a used but you could have fooled me looks brand new. I will purchase again from this seller. Super fast shipping.

One of the best flip phones that I've owned. Easy to set up. Clear voice. Military style.I paid for Prime Membership in order to receive my orders within 2 days. However, this phone was delivered on the third day. This is the second time Amazon Prime shipped my orders late.

If you need a basic phone that has T9 Text, a Camera with Flash, and can make phone calls, you really can't go wrong with the Convoy 3. I was an avid smartphone user and have been for several years, but I needed a cleanse and boy did this phone fit the bill. Like with other Convoy phones, you don't really have to worry about this. Drop it? Just pick it up, no need to worry about breaking the screen because it's plastic and therefore not as fragile as a glass screen. I've definitely enjoyed my time with this device and will be using it as my daily driver for the foreseeable future.

The volume on this phone is very, very bad, making it almost impossible to hear during phone calls. I bought this phone for my 97 year old mother, who has difficulty hearing anyway. What a mistake! I'm guessing this phone is defective as I cannot believe the volume can be this low purposely. I should have returned it instead of constantly trying different methods in setting to help call volume. Live and learn.
