Sonim
Sonim XP3plus
A budget rugged flip with a no-camera option for restricted workplaces.
$85 to $160
No published list price. Sonim's distributors quote per order, AT&T's page says the 4G model is no longer available and Verizon Business lists it out of stock, so the live prices are at specialist resellers: about $85 for an unlocked XP3plus at y2kphones, about $160 for the Verizon-unlocked version at Cellphone Beast, and about $100 for the older XP3800.

Notes
These specs are the XP3plus, the model Sonim still sells. The original XP3 is a smaller, older phone that Sonim no longer lists. CSA certification for hazardous locations is why it turns up on rigs and refineries, and a camera-free variant is sold for sites that ban cameras.
