Rugged Mobiles

The Phone Trader offers a range of different rugged mobile phones. These are mobile handsets that have been specially designed and built to withstand the elements and last longer than your standard mobile phone does when exposed to the elements.

There is a wide range of different types of rugged mobile devices and here’s what to look out for:

IP Rating – Typically our handsets range from a minimum of IP57 rating right up to IP68

MIL Spec – This certification relates to the handsets ‘Military’ grade. Generally these are the toughest.

Waterproof, Splash Proof, Submersible – We have some handsets that are fully sealed and waterproof and others which are splash proof, you can also check the IP rating for information on how the phone will hold up against water and other liquids.

Warranty – With handsets that are designed to take a beating it can sometimes be important to check what support and warranty is available before purchasing. Some have a standard 12 month warranty whereas other like the Sonim range may have a full 3 year comprehensive warranty.

Here are some of the different rugged handsets we offer:
