The Sonim XP7 Extreme is an UNLOCKED virtually indestructible Android 4.4 KitKat LTE ultra rugged Smartphone. It was built for extreme use and to handle extreme conditions. 

For over nine years, we at Sonim Technologies have been making the world's most rugged and durable mobile phones for first responders, construction workers and the military.

With our first Android LTE Smartphone, Sonim is looking for active sports consumers to be "Sonim Explorers" and come along with us to make Sonim smartphones part of an active lifestyle.  

A fully water submersible Sonim XP7 Extreme smartphone is perfect for Boaters,Fishing Enthusiasts, Kayakers, Rafters, Stand Up Paddleboarders,and anyone else who spends time on open water.  You can even snap video of sea turtles passing by.


The Sonim XP7 Extreme’s powerful battery will outlast even the longest and coldest trails.  With 2-3x the battery life (4800mAh) of most other smartphones, you'll never be sitting there at the end of a long day, unable to use your phone. 

The Sonim XP7 Extreme smartphone, which uses Corning Gorilla Glass, has been specifically designed to be shock and impact resistance above military specs. Phone fell out of your pocket while on your bike or your motorcycle? No problem.



For sailors, boaters and anyone who spends time on the water, there has never been a better phone to take to sea than the Sonim XP7. 

For a full technical specifications sheet, click here.

Running on an Android 4.4.2 KitKat, the XP7 can handle any data, messaging, or voice application you can think of offered by lesser smartphones; the major difference is that this smartphone can take extreme use and keep on talking, posting, and surfing the web without any damage. 

The Sonim XP7 Extreme makes a perfect holiday gift for the outdoor enthusiast in your life.  Drop us an email at hello@sonimextreme.com after you buy your Sonim XP7 Extreme, tell us that the phone is a gift and who it is for, and we'll mail you a really cool Extreme Gift Certificate showing your Giftee that their XP7 is coming!

Sonim Technologies has been making virtually indestructible cell phones for years. Military grade rugged phones built and used by the toughest professionals on the planet from firefighters, policemen, construction workers, to first responders and more. The Sonim XP7 is the introduction into the consumer market for people like you that work hard, but play harder, and need a phone that can keep up.


Where can I use the Sonim XP7 Extreme?

The Sonim XP7 Extreme can go anywhere you can go, and handle anything you can handle.  If your activities are hard on you, if you’re hard on your equipment, if you've ever broken phones, or feared for the safety of your delicate phone, the Sonim XP7 Extreme is the Android LTE Smartphone for you.

Does the Sonim XP7 Extreme need a case?

The Sonim XP7 Extreme has no need for a protective case. It is the world’s most ruggedized smartphone available on the market today.  

What are some of the use cases for the XP7 Extreme for the active sports crowd?

We expect that the XP7 Extreme will be either a second phone for Active Sports participants, or a primary Android phone for those who work and play in the outdoors, and need a smartphone as rugged as they are.

Is this an unlocked phone? Yes. The Sonim XP7 Extreme is an Unlocked smartphone that works on any GSM/3G/4G LTE carrier around the world---this means that you don’t need a contract for the  phone, and can use the XP7 Extreme with any compatible carrier and switch anytime.  

What is the trial service from Ultra Mobile?

We’ve included a Trial Service period (US Customers Only) of mobile service:  The XP7 Extreme ships activated with a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) and Trial Service from Ultra Mobile.  This means your first month’s service is compliments of Ultra Mobile, and includes Unlimited Nationwide & International Talk, Unlimited Global Text, Unlimited Data (1st GB at 4G LTE speed) and $10 of international call credit.

What happens after my first month’s credit expires?

Once the balance included for the Trial Service has been depleted, you will need to refill the balance with Ultra Mobile, or switch to service from a compatible carrier. This means that you need to take the phone to a compatible operator, and to sign up for service to have a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) installed.  Sonim supplies a tool and detailed instruction for safe installation of a SIM card into the XP7.

Is this compatible with my existing cell phone carrier?

Maybe. The Sonim XP7 Extreme is compatible with any North American GSM/HSPA/LTE operator.  This includes noted operators such as AT&T Wireless, and T-Mobile, and the new and improved Metro PCS, or Canadian operators like Bell Mobility or Telus, as well as Mobile Virtual Network Operators such as Ultra, H20 Wireless, StraightTalk, Net 10 and others.  

***This Sonim XP7 Extreme model is NOT compatible with CDMA/LTE operators such as Sprint or Verizon Wireless.***

What if I’m a Verizon or Sprint subscriber? Can I use the Sonim XP7 Extreme with them?

If you’re a current Verizon Wireless and Sprint Customers your Sonim XP7 Extreme will ship with the Ultra Mobile Trial Service detailed above.  Following your trial service, we highly recommend that you continue service with Ultra Mobile. Your phone is unlocked, so if you choose to continue to use Ultra Mobile, you are all set, or you can choose any other compatible wireless operator.

What happens if my Sonim XP7 Extreme Gets Damaged?

We don’t think it will, but if it does Sonim provides an industry leading 3-Year Comprehensive Warranty:  This includes Accidental Breakage. See here for detailed terms and conditions.

What makes Sonim the right company to bring this type of smartphone to this market segment?

Sonim Technologies has been making virtually indestructible cell phones for nine years. These are the military grade ruggedized phones built and used by the toughest professionals on the planet from firefighters, policemen, construction workers, to the military and more.

Why are you selling the Sonim XP7 Extreme to consumers?

The Sonim XP7 Extreme is the introduction into the consumer market for people that work hard, but play harder, and need a phone that can keep up. We believe it’s time for a change. If you are a person that works and plays in the outdoors, then the Sonim XP7 Extreme may be the first phone that matches your toughness, and will be your only phone.  

How is it different than the XP7 currently offered in Canada by Telus and Bell?

The XP7 Extreme edition is the active sports variation of the XP7 currently being offered.  The housing is all black, versus the industrial black/yellow motif of the commercial/industrial edition. Additionally, we plan to offer preloaded apps targeted to the Active Sports users, and with some models, sports specific accessories.

Who will like the Sonim XP7 Extreme?

If you’re a person that spends your weekdays in an office, but spends your weekends on the slopes, on the mountains, in the desert, on the road, at the beach, or in the water...then the Sonim XP7 will be the right smartphone and the the right tool for your second life...where you really live.

Why will this be my second phone?

People today love their smartphones. They are an indispensable tool for our work lives, our family lives, and our play lives. But today’s smartphones are expensive and delicate, and simply not the right tool for outdoor activities. How many times have we dropped our cell phone from our pocket and been frozen with fear as it falls a mere 3 feet to the ground? How can we expect phones like that to endure extreme use for those of us who live our lives outside the office and when we are off of the couch?

What apps and accessories make this a viable choice for the active sports crowd?

We are working with a number of companies whose outdoor related applications will be pre-loaded prior to shipment of your XP7 Extreme. We will update details as campaign evolves.  

We expect other apps may be evaluated and added during the course of the campaign, as companies discover the campaign and the value of the Sonim XP7 Extreme.

Does the Sonim XP7 Extreme really have a 3-year warranty?

The Sonim XP7 includes an industry leading three-year comprehensive warranty---including Accidental Breakage. See here for detailed terms and conditions.

What type of SIM card does the Sonim XP7 Extreme use?

The Sonim XP7 uses a Micro SIM card slot.
