Not only did this phone not work, but the screen was really quite tiring on my eyes. The only ringtone that it had was a sound like beads being shaken up. The flashing light was distracting, and its features were extraordinarily limited! The camera option didn’t work at all, and where the heck was the texting??? My parents bought this phone for me for my birthday, and it really made me mad!! I can see that this might be a good starter phone, but you can only get 0 calls froim it, and really limited reception in the mountains. Switch to a Razr as soon as possible.

I bought this toy for my 1-yr old. She does enjoy pressing all the buttons; every time you press even the same button twice there is a new sound/voice/line of music and for such a little person this is fun for a little while. However, the voice itself is not American and has the inflection all wrong. For example, you press a button and the phone “rings”, then the woman says, “Let’s call…Grandma?” instead of “Let’s call…Grandma!” and her voice is generally uncomfortable speaking English.
This toy is not educational as it claims to be because the “answers” are given too quickly to be absorbed, by the aforementioned foreigner in her foreign way. For example, she will ask which is the “green circle”. If you press the green circle she will rapidly respond, “This-is-the-green…cirCLE?” without any praise or indication that the child got the right answer. If you happen to press the wrong key, ie the red circle instead, the voice will do the same–no indication that the answer is wrong.
Overall, the voice is not American and detached and devoid of inflection for that reason–essentially, the woman does not know what she is saying. Her singing is off-key at best, as mentioned in another review, and at worst she barely recites the songs–again, probably because she does not know the songs. The educational aspect of this toy is considerably reduced by the toneless inflection and rapid fire answers. Thankfully it is cheap, but regardless I would not recommend this product to anyone.

This is a great toy. Easy for our son to carry around and he loves all the noises the phone makees.

I’m surprised this toy got so many positive reviews. The speaking voice that comes out drives me crazy! The inflections of individual words don’t match the sentence; for example, the voice says, “This is the RED triangle” and the word “red” has this excited, overly happy inflection. It just doesn’t fit in the sentence. It’s the same with most of the sentences and sounds unnatural – “Let’s call MOMMY!” It reminds me of a computer voice where the words are pieced together. We have other Vtech toys that we are very happy with. I wish we had a different brand of toy phone, though!
