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

Looking for the phone that replaces the big battery BV9500? Welcome to the Blackview BV8800! As Blackview’s first repairable (screwed shut) phone in more than two years, not only does it have the battery you are looking for, but unlike the old 9500 the new 8800 is instantly compatible with the new 4G-calling VoLTE networks from Vodafone and 2Degrees. 4G calling is also available on Spark but Spark have to activate it on your phone number first and we need to guide you through a settings tweak.
Instead of a 16MP camera the 8800 sports a Samsung 50MP unit and has night vision built in.
