JCB Tough Phone
There's always been a niche market for really, really tough phones. Invaluable for the building trade, and let's face it, great for the average person on the street who wants a solid, rugged phone, that will fit their hard-living lifestyle. Filling that role in spades is the JCB TOUGHPHONE, with shock and water-resistant body; truly a monolithic masterpiece!
Rough Riders
Every now and again, a manufacturer will release a 'ruggedised' phone. The process for that seems to be to take an existing idea, and whack loads of rubber round it to make it shock, dust and water-resistant. Nokia did it. Samsung are doing it.
But how about a phone that has, shall we say, 'rugged' built into the very fabric of its being? To answer that question, please welcome the JCB TOUGH PHONE.
Shock And Awe
When you think of diggers, the name that immediately comes to mind is JCB. And with that image comes a few mental connections: reliable, hard as nails, bright yellow. Well, with the JCB TOUGH PHONE, those qualities are now crammed into a go anywhere, do anything phone!
With its high-visibility yellow body, it is definitely going to stand out. But it's not just the colour that shows its heritage. No, the simple fact is that the JCB TOUGH PHONE, like the diggers everyone knows, is seemingly hewn from solid granite. It's that tough!
Well Hard
There is a scale to measure just how hard it is. It's called the IP rating. And the JCB TOUGH PHONE has a rating of IP53. Which means it's dust, shock, water and drop resistant, and will happily work in temperatures 20 degrees below freezing, way up to 60 degrees. It really is a unique phone.
Adding to its amazing functionality are the phone's built-in dual speaker (louder in noisy environments, so you never miss a call) and anti-glare, high colour screen. Add in a custom ringtone of a digger starting up (which had us grinning for hours), and the JCB TOUGH PHONE stands out as a truly unique mobile.
Monolithic Masterpiece
But, of course, not just builders would benefit from the JCB TOUGH PHONE. Outdoor ramblers, farmers, rock climbers, people who drive off with their mobile on top of their car... all of you will benefit from this monolithic masterpiece. And, as if that wasn't enough, the manufacturer's so confident of their product (quite rightly so, too), as well, that you also get a no-quibble 3 year warranty.
Not that you'll need it, though, because quite frankly, it's very likely that your JCB TOUGH PHONE will outlast civilisation. It's quite simply that tough!

Very basic phone not enough memory and not able to add more via a card. Ok for work and for making phone calls but not able to do anything else with it.
JCB Review rated the JCB Tough Phone: 5/10
Im a JCB driver and on average a mobile last 6 months at work, with rain and mud in the winter and dust in the summer and being banged around in my cab but my tough phone hasnt failed yet, and the screen is clear as a bell no dust behind it and the buttons havent seized. it does exactly what it says on the tin. The only down side is not having a camera but you can bluetooth pics and sound but not vidieos
