The Right Device Can Save A Life

 When Vincent N. Found himself in a life or death situation at work, it was his Kyocera Mobile device that came to the rescue. He reached out to us to share his story.

As part of his job at Wild Wings Recycle Facility in Woodland, CA, Vincent collects water samples that are tested for California state permit compliance. He's been collecting monthly samples for 20 years without a problem. But when his foot slipped on algae one day and he slid into a pond full of liquid waste, he knew he was in trouble.

Vincent is a good swimmer but his heavy work gear and the slippery algae-coated edges of the pond made it impossible for him to swim or grab hold of anything, and it was getting harder and harder to tread water. With no coworkers around Vincent had to find his own way out.

Vincent reached for his non-Kyocera work phone in his pocket to call for help but quickly discovered the device was completely broken from water damage.

Vincent remembered he hadn't taken his personal phone out of his other pocket when he arrived at work that did that day. Thankfully his rugged, waterproof Kyocera Dura Series device was still up and running so he was able to call help.

*Please Don't Try This. While it's a true story, it goes beyond the product's design specs and would not be covered by the phone's warranty.
