like most of this low tech old school phones the batterry last forever (almost a week if u just use it for calling once or twice a day), last week my daugther leave on her clothes, so it took a trip to the washer machine and yes it survived, i just put it on rice for 2 days and the phone still going strong like nothing even happened.sound is ok, sorry no fm radio.is a good idea if u go camping to keep a phone like this so you can enjoy the camping without worries about running out of power, jumping rocks and rivers and be cool if it get wet a bit, not like your 500$ favorite smart phone.
