Plum Gator - User Reviews

  • I have one going in 9 months and no issue.

  • The battery on my z406 is crap. It stopped charging. Sent in for service 5 times. Each time it lasted only a day or so and each time it came back with new issues. Antenna not hooked up. Volume buttons nonfunctional etc. Insisted on new phone. After several uncomfortable calls and tons of emails asking for someone of authority the repair dept said send it in and they'd look at it. I sent it in with a note. New unit or manufacturer rep contact info only. Do not send this unit back. I got a new unit. Nope a repaired packaged to appear new sane unit. How do I know. When I logged into my online bank acct it logged in with the pin and didn't send me to password and id page so it recognizes my phone. It worked fine so I blew it off. Two months later some battery issue. Gonna call service and get my money back. Come hell or highwater.

  • What country is this phone sold in?

  • Plum gator has no price

  • Great for people working in construction sites. Might look like a location tracker from a sci-fi movie, but it's not. It's an amazing china phone. Very cheap so you can but a lot for back up purposes. :) but warning! this contains lead so it's not suitable for kids under 3 years old below. :)

  • The rubber borders on my Plum Gator are coming apart. What should I do? Is there an adhesive that I could use?

  • Dont bother, phone lasted less than 3 months before it all but fell apart and no response from plum about fixing it under warranty.

  • Very good choice. The first model that i really wanted, to replace my old nokia n70 )) Much cheaper than popular models, but works fast (unlike cheap Chineese "Iphones"). I don't play games or use heavy applications on phone, but navigators and other stuff works just fine. Battery time also is wonderful! I charge it after every 19-22 days. But sadly I have lost main camera because of airsoft SVD hit in my chest, where the phone was)

  • I find this to be a good phone for construction work, I just need to now if and how I can down load my pics on to my computer, do anybody know if this could be done

  • i bought this phone recently and had problems from day one. the battery overheated whilst charging and for some reason it just powers off. also I am a post paid customer and cant seem to use my mobile data with this phone. is this phone capable of mobile data?

  • Battery does last long. I threw it really hard against the dirt/grass and no damage what so ever.

  • Is the 512MB RAM enough for Google Earth? I know devices with 768MB RAM that can handle well this program. But 512MB seem to nothing in 2015.

  • how do you upgrade the software from jellybean to kitkat

  • This phone sucks going to buy a new phone today. Nothing seams to work very slow and I'm very unhappy

  • Do we have any SAR valyes?

  • tough as steel Great battery life, waterproof, and great multimedia features.

  • Can anybody tell me about this phone? How it's performance? How backup it's battery & How much Shockproof it's Display Screen? Because honestly to tell I want to buy this phone!

  • In Bulgaria is known like MTT Smart Robust and i can confirm it work with regular gloves very well. Also the price is very good for gigantic battery - it lasts 4-5 days with no problem.

  • A rebranded Chinese phone. Also known as Evolveo Strongphone D2-mini. Sold in Chinese web shops as OINOM LMV7. On one site it is advertised as sensitive enough to be operated with regular gloves. Can anyone verify that?

  • Awesome!!!

  • to buy this u need to contact your nearest baloon vendor

  • What a daft name?

  • can you read comic books on this?

  • After my second question at this post y bought the phone because y were behind it from since I saw the ads, and right now at my hands can I say that's this a real water and Shock proof phone certified, it's real very tough and is functioning perfectly, it just hade same position problemat tthe GPS maybe by the software, y get to root this phone and install gravity box to solve the navigation problem and customize my mobile device. I'm very happy with this phone because it could do more than what it offer, and it's a important outdoor tool. I downloaded a compass apk, and smart tool on this device and everything work fine, it have more sensor than specified in the characteristics. If you a smart Android user that like outdoor activities or hard job. Buy this with your eyes close. It's the right election. No more looking for because others double the price of this gadget like caterpillar and other expensives brands. Just don't overload this device of applications because it have a low ram memory. But still work really good and a have about 75 apk. And some of them are heavy like chrome browser or Poweramp. I'm a Venezuelan guy.

  • The battery life is amazing, the biggest battery I ever see, Dual Sim, I'm a heavy user and this phone with real heavy use does last me 2 days without charge, for who's not a heavy user it will last longer approximately a week o more.
