A:Answer Yes, the TracFone Alcatel has an option for read out. Go to Settings, scroll to Device, click on Accessibility, and you can option to turn the Readout on.
Of note, you might have to doublecheck to make sure it 'sticks' after the next time you charge your phone. I've noticed that my phone's front pic tends to alternate between the factory Beach Scene default and the photo I took to personalize my phone whenever I charge the thing. As I don't use the read out feature [or many features for that matter since it's an emergency travel phone], I can't report for sure whether it might switch off after charging.
