Not all of us give much thought to our mobile phone’s intrinsic safety. But those among us that do value safe-rated devices will appreciate Sprint’s efforts to create the first ever i365IS, intrinsically safe, mobile phone. The Motorola i365IS guarantees users complete safety, as it is incapable of releasing enough thermal or electrical energy to cause a fire or explosion ever. Hence this device is especially ideal for you if you work in hazardous areas that contain flammable gasses, vapors or dust.

Sprint has 15-years experience in push-to-talk and undoubtedly serves that largest community of users the world over. Nextel Direct Connect offers the fastest push-to-talk network and lowest call set up times.

The Motorola i365IS offers absolute safety along with super-fast push-to-talk services, Bundled Advanced Features, Emergency Group Call, Multi-Simultaneous Talk-Group, Second Line Service, Multimedia Messaging Service, GPS Navigation, Bluetooth, Isolated Site Operation and Status Message services, all with an ultra-rugged design, which is made to stand some of the most hostile conditions as well.
