The Phone That’s as Tough As Your Military Lifestyle: #DuraForce4MyMilitaryFamily

Military life is tough, but, as the song says, “When the going gets tough, the tough get going.” What is the secret to maintaining a strong military family connection?

Communication.

Communicating face-to-face is hard enough, such as discussing a move to a new duty station, or the moment your spouse tells you that he/she has to go on TDY, or when you have to sit down with your children and explain that Mommy or Daddy will soon deploy.

Now factor in long distance. Factor in weeks or months apart and having to maintain regular communication while your family experiences separation. Relying mostly on technology, you need devices that can handle your extreme lifestyle with reliable service to share those important conversations.

Is Your Smartphone Tough Enough?

A challenging military lifestyle deserves a phone that can keep up. Available at AT&T, the Kyocera DuraForce  PRO is well-known for its durability and can withstand extreme environments and accidents based on dust and water ratings. It has Military-standard 810G protection, meaning that it’s been tested by the Department of Defense with other military equipment. It holds up in these conditions:

• Exposure to high and low temperature
• Rain/humidity/fungus
• Salt/rust
• Sand/dust
• Water proof/leak resistant
• Acceleration
• Drop proof/shock resistant
• Gunfire vibration
• Moisture (it can be submersed in up to 6.5 feet of water for 30 minutes)
• Explosive atmosphere
• Certified for use in hazardous locations (gases, vapors, etc.)
• And it comes with a two-year warranty for further peace of mind

If this isn’t enough, check out the camera features that will enhance your sharing of photos, videos and video chats. This rugged-action smartphone has three cameras: a 5MP front- facing camera, a 13MP rear-facing camera and a wide-view 135 degree angle camera with 1080p HD video. And for fun, the cameras have an underwater photo and video mode — to kick your visuals up a notch!

And for those romantic conversations? Don’t worry, the DuraForce PRO comes with a fingerprint sensor to make sure what’s yours stays that way.

Can your phone handle all that? Does it offer all these features? If not, consider upgrading to the Kyocera DuraForce PRO, the rugged smartphone that fits the needs of your military family.
