My main phone, well known make, has everything but battery doesn’t last the day.
having a basic second phone with no Internet or wifi or apps is just what I need for a back up.
Numbers are large, again. being older, this is a big plus as forever I hit the wrong number.
Sound is good and no issue on connectability.
My dad was thrilled with this phone. It allows him to quickly stay in touch as he struggled with using a smartphone as there were too many icons and he struggled to see the numbers or make a call as the keys were too small. When we got him this large button cell phone he was delighted as it allows him to feel safe and be able to contact us whenever he feels. Its simple design is perfect for those not to tech savvy. Great buy.
A very good 4G handset for elderly and manual labour jobsites.
Drop proof, waterproof, large font and large buttons. It had a bright torch, FM radio, and Three card slots. Two SIM and one data storage..
This phone is so strong and sturdy, it came with a Two Year warranty!
Ideal handset for a parent or grandparent because it is almost indestructible and does all the functions that are 4G enabled.
Great large sized buttons which indicates it’s be perfect for people who need a phone but struggle to see the buttons normally, build quality is great, it’s fully plastic but feels nice and though, could definitely take a good amount of drops and even throws, the batteries are easy to replace, nice loud speakers, screens nice and clear and large, super easy to use and navigate around, easy to charge and battery lasts ages! Overall if your in the market for a strong rugged basic phone I’d definitely recommend! Great value!
This is certainly a rugged phone as it has survived a few drops already in the hands of my parents. The buttons are large and easy to read. You can only call and text but that is all they need it for. Knowing that will survive the elements to a degree is also reassuring when out and about. The phone comes with two batteries which can be easily swapped out like old school Nokias, can take two Sim cards which is great for when we go abroad and have to use a local Sim and even has a micro sd slot to save images. I would not use this phone for taking holiday photos but it is a nice to have if needed. In terms of value, I am not sure that it is worth the full 59.99 RRP as it is essentially dated tech, but if waterproofing and dustproofing is at the top of your list then this could be a good option when purchased with voucher.
Design and Durability
The AGM M9 stands out with its robust build quality. It’s designed to withstand harsh conditions, making it ideal for seniors, outdoor enthusiasts, or anyone needing a reliable and rugged phone. The IP68/IP69K waterproof rating means it can handle being submerged in water and exposure to dust, making it extremely durable. I’ve dropped it a few times, and it has held up without any issues, which speaks volumes about its ruggedness.
User Interface and Buttons
One of the phone’s best features is its large buttons, which are perfect for seniors or anyone who prefers a more tactile interface. The buttons are easy to press and respond well, making dialing and texting straightforward. The simple user interface is intuitive and doesn’t overwhelm with unnecessary features, focusing on basic functionalities like calling and messaging.
Connectivity and Performance
The AGM M9 supports 4G connectivity, which ensures clear calls and faster messaging. It also has excellent reception and call quality, which is crucial for a basic cell phone. The battery life is impressive, easily lasting several days on a single charge with moderate use. This long battery life is especially beneficial for seniors who might not remember to charge their phone every day.

If you just need a phone for making calls, this could be the new Nokia we’ve all been needing.
large actual buttons, no wifi, no apps, pre programmable buttons and a flashlight with a spare battery.
Should last for ages, is pretty rugged and will withstand drops.
Calls, texts only, the way it should be.
Its like a step back to the 90’s the only thing missing was snake, its a damn fine phone though, it even has a camera (its not great) however if you want a phone with a replaceable battery, simple, large buttons, bluetooth connectivity and just the ability call and make texts, then this is for you! It works well picked up my 4g simcard no problem, takes micro-sd cards as well as 2 sim slots!
