decent cover and your sorted, drop it all the time biggest problem battery life... i just get used ones off ebay less than £100.

does it support wifi calling looked at this quite a bit but couldn't find the answerUlefone Armor (mines version 3), very large battery capacity which lasts a week. Three years, had plenty of abuse and still fine.

I have had my Ulefone Armor 7 (from Amazon) for about 3 months having historically managed with an ordinary smart phone in a case, however the last one which was a Nokia 8.1 was the first one with a glass back and was too fragile. It appears to be robust and have enormous battery life. Also the actual phone part, ie making and receiving calls, works more reliably any phone I have ever had. Only drawback is it is very chunky and quite heavy.

Armor 7 certainly does.

There is a video on YouTube of someone trying to hammer a nail in with an Ulefone Armor 7 although I haven't been brave enough to try it for myself.

CAT phone here also, dog sunk his tooth into the camera lense, sent it back to be repaired, no problems and good service, i also like the battery power, after 1 year it still lasts 3-4 days.

I don't think Armor 3 does being an older phone regarding Wifi Calling, apart through App's like WhatsApp.
My only recommendation is what ever phone you get, buy a decent "glass" screen protector, not the plastic films.
I go swimming with my phone, definitely water proof.

After many years supplying phones to the farming and construction community, we regret that we have made the difficult decision to close our doors.
The decision has not been taken lightly and follows very difficult trading conditions due in no small part to our partners withdrawing vital services that were fundamental to the TUFF Phones proposition. Immediately prior to the first lockdown in March 2020 we received the unwelcome news that we could no longer promote our innovative network solution providing access to three networks on one SIM card. We had invested heavily in promoting this solution, only for it to be withdrawn within a matter of months after launch. In addition, the three lockdowns badly affected trade with the majority of the builders merchants promoting our devices being closed other than to click and collect customers. Finally, our manufacturing partners in China had a string of problems with the factory being locked-down and closed for long periods of time, making it impossible for us to obtain stock and spare parts during these times.
The combination of these events has led us to this decision. Our staff have been released and we have closed the office.
We would like to apologise to our amazing customers for the inconvenience caused through this situation and thank them all for their loyal support over the years.

Any update on this?
Still happy?
Anyone else have experience of the ulefone? Or comparison to Cat phones?
A customer was telling me he had a cat but it was very poor at finding signal so he has just bought a land rover phone
