My 6 year old granddaughter had been asking for a cell phone so she could be like everyone else in the family. I had considered getting her one to keep in touch with her, but my daughter and I saw this one at Best Buy. To say this was the perfect first cell phone is an understatement. She is able to send voice messages and text with this phone. I set up who she could contact and she has thoroughly enjoyed it as have our family members. It is also very nice because it helps her with her spelling, she enjoys listening to music, playing games, listening or reading books, take pictures or videos, etc. This is a definite winner!

The vtech phone is great for younger kids. My daughter is able to text over the kidiconnect to family and friends. It can only be used over wifi which is a nice feature. The learning games are great also.

This item was purchased for a Christmas present for our granddaughter; however, it is much larger and more advanced than previously thought. We have decided to save it for our grandson's 6th birthday. I am sure he will love it, and I am happy that I can program specific numbers for him to call in case of emergency.

This is the best gift I could get for my son. It is not a real phone but it is great for games and you can chat with your child through the app. It is an awesome item to purchase for children ages 3 to 9. The only problem I did have is the sound did not work but Vtech is sending another item to me.

I bought this for my grandson and he loves it when it is working. When it was a year old, it froze while doing an update. Nobody could get it off the blank screen. It was out of warranty, so I decided to remove the back. The battery is not removable, so I disconnected it and forced a hard reset. This did the trick and it restarted and completed the update. He has been using it again, but be aware that it takes quite a while to charge the battery.
