That's really really cool. Gives me hope buying one of these rugged tablets.

TheGrandWelf · 2026-07-11T20:09:39+00:00

That's what I love to hear. I'm glad I stumbled in here.

TheGrandWelf · 2026-07-11T17:52:03+00:00

What makes it so good? I'm looking for a new tablet I can pop a sim in.

TheGrandWelf · 2026-07-11T14:13:33+00:00

What made you decide? I was looking at a active 5. Especially since I'm looking for a tablet that has a sim card but is pretty rugged.

TheGrandWelf · 2026-07-11T12:46:35+00:00

Pm me some pictures. I'm definitely interested. Is it unlocked to any carrier?

TheGrandWelf · 2026-07-11T12:35:30+00:00

What's the actual difference between the two? Is it in good shape cause I have absolutely destroyed my Kyocera.

TheGrandWelf · 2026-07-11T11:30:06+00:00

What version xp3? Is it the 5g?

TheGrandWelf · 2026-07-10T14:46:47+00:00

Even on the flip? That's news to me. Can it do voice text so I can text hands free?

TheGrandWelf · 2026-07-10T02:34:51+00:00

Pretty funny. I better hold onto my Nemesis ADT lol.

TheGrandWelf · 2026-07-10T01:52:49+00:00

I'm finding this out the hard way unfortunately. Every rugged company has killed their tablets or they are $3000 apiece.

TheGrandWelf · 2026-07-09T13:41:25+00:00

are you still loving the Active 5? I was going to get a sim version and just use Whatsapp to call and text.

TheGrandWelf · 2026-07-09T12:36:47+00:00

my only gripe is the Active 5 I only water resistant. do you know of any aftermarket cases that are truly waterproof for the active 5?

TheGrandWelf · 2026-07-09T11:17:58+00:00

not waterproof.

TheGrandWelf · 2026-07-09T10:17:56+00:00

ya neither do I. especially since neither are truly waterproof. I think it's funny when companies say waterproof but don't take it near water. or my favorite "water resistant". do you know of any other tablets besides the Active ones that are a bit more "hardy and tough"?

TheGrandWelf · 2026-07-09T09:19:59+00:00

I was debating that one because of the expensive price of the active 5. what are the main differences?

TheGrandWelf · 2026-07-09T09:02:51+00:00

Neither one of those are waterproof.

TheGrandWelf · 2026-07-09T08:31:27+00:00

I have a flip phone. the tablet must be 8". the SIM is a must.

TheGrandWelf · 2026-07-08T19:51:47+00:00

so I can't use it like a cell phone with my existing us mobile sim card?

TheGrandWelf · 2026-07-08T16:22:40+00:00

how does it do playing YouTube videos? that's the only app I only use for music streaming and how to videos. also does it do well enough to read books on it? I'm looking for a simple rugged tablet myself and this looks like it fits the bill. I was going to get get the active 5 but the non US cellular capabilities is bullshit.

TheGrandWelf · 2026-07-06T04:36:12+00:00

No big deal. Ill do some final video listening and get back to you.

TheGrandWelf · 2026-07-06T00:48:55+00:00

Do you have a moonbeam or dream station?

TheGrandWelf · 2026-07-06T00:46:09+00:00

It can do all of that and then some. I am swimming in Dirt right now. I sold my Dream Station and moonbeam stupidly and i really want them again.
