Motofone F3 Is A No-Frills Survival Cell Phone Option For Any Disaster

With Long Battery Life, E-Reader Display, & Strength, The Motorola Motofone F3 Makes The Perfect Phone For Disasters

In light of a few disasters that have recently befallen some of the sates in the United States, such as an earthquake, some tornadoes, and a hurricane, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to highlight a gadget that does a good job of hanging in there during dangerous situations. With relatively few modern perks, the Motorola Motofone F3 has features that will help it be there for you when you need it.

When you are in the midst of some sort of disaster, what do you look for in a cell phone? Would you give up a few things such as your fancy-pants smartphone apps for extended battery life? What about your pretty 4.3 inch touchscreen for a screen you can read in any light and that only sips the battery rather than guzzling? The Motorola Motofone F3, although not chalked full of modern features, has some specs making it perfect for difficult situations:

  • Battery life is crazy with two weeks of standby
  • Its e-reader display is readable in the darkness and direct light
  • Dual antennae for better radio performance
  • Light (68g) and thin (9mm)
  • Shock, dust and moisture resistant

The Motorola Motofone F3 also has basic cell phone features such as calling, text messaging, beeping/vibrating, most important contacts, and an alarm clock and not much more. The price tag makes it tempting as well being available online at or around $25 unlocked.
