WARNING: Beware of Cowboys selling “cheap” rugged phones
Some big rugged phones sites and TradeMe sellers are trying to flog-off phones that don’t work in rural areas, and which may not work anywhere once Vodafone and Spark switch off the 3G cellsites next year – and they’re lying to their customers about it, still promising “compatible with all NZ 3G/4G networks”.
To help you avoid being stung, we’ve compiled a database of all rugged phones and whether they are really compatible. Read more at the links

They don’t sell these at your local telco shop. Essential all-terrain phone pouch and belt-on carry-pack for everyone working or playing outdoors.In the case of an emergency your phone and other survival gear can be close at hand, strapped to your belt. Don’t go into the outdoors badly equipped. Be prepared. Strap on a waterproof rugged phone with more signal coverage than anything the telcos sell.

Unihertz Tank 3 Rugged Phone, 200MP Camera, Projector, Night Vision, 23000 mAh battery, Android 13, Dimensity 8200, 16GB+512GB

Americans love the Unihertz Tank! It’s not for everyone – weighing half a kilo because of its massive battery it qualifies as a defensive weapon if you are walking down a dark alley – but it’s built like the proverbial for a reason.
Unihertz says you might get up to a hundred days between battery charges, although officially it’s just “more than a week”. Some heavy users say they get 30 days. The point is, if you need a big battery phone for work or play outdoors (hikes, fishing, hunting etc) this phone has a lot more stamina than an EV…no ‘range anxiety’ here.
The Unihertz Tank also has the most powerful torch ever built in to a smartphone (watch the review video in specs below).
