Not working. Needs to return it

The toy is not working. Only the green on/off light is on, occasional beep, totally silent otherwise, no display. I changed the batteries to no effect.Now I need to return it. Very disappointed. Will see how amazon customer service deal with this and write a final review.

Great--until it broke in the second week

This Learning Resource phone did in fact help my daughter learn our telephone number (helped by a incentive of a trip for ice cream when she did it)----and quite satisfactorily allowed a personalized recording of our voices to be waiting for her when she successfully dialed it (just the 7...

disappointed

I bought this for my son for Christmas, as he requested a toy telephone and I thought it would be beneficial for him to start learning how to call his own phone number and 911. First of all, it is difficult to program phone numbers into speed dial. The pamphlet tells you how but of course that...

great idea

Great little phone if your kids will use it. Mine doesn't seem to care for it. I am hoping this changes as it could be a very good learing tool. I agree that having people call whom your kids do not know can be confusing for them. But, it isn't like you can't explain to them why it is different.

Great toy!

As I mentioned in several other reviews, I have wasted a lot of money (unfortunately) this holiday season. I hope I learn for next year. This was NOT a waste. The Disney Princess phone I bought before this one was a waste. I bought that one thinking it was somewhat educational. It wasn't. So,...

Best Toy Phone Available & Teaches Children How To Use Phone!

We've had our Learning Resources Phone for two years and it still works perfectly. In my estimation, it's the best toy phone on the market; it's fun, teaches children to use the phone (including 911), and is very well-built. The best part of this phone is that you can program your home phone...

Shocked

I'm shocked that other parents have not commented about the pre-programmed caller, "Aunt Gladys." "Aunt Gladys" asks your child if they want to come over and see her dogs' new puppies. That question immediately made me feel uncomfortable. It's a common ploy among child predators to ask a child...

Telephone fun

This was a Christmas gift for our grandaughter's age two & four. They both play with it and the two year old must call daddy every day and listen to his personal recording over and over. She also answers the questions from the prerecorded messages. This toy really gets used, it doesn't sit on...

A great phone for preschoolers

This is a nice phone for the kids of various ages. My five year old practices our home number and my 3 and 2 year olds like to push the buttons. They like the normal phone tone that makes it more realistic. They no longer try to use my phone, so very happy about that. The only thing that you...

Good Resource, but LOUD

This phone has been a valuable resource for my 5-year-old who now knows our home number and my cell number thanks to the phone. Aside from the learning aspect, there are also fun prerecorded messages for pretend. My only complaint is the volume control stopped working and it is now stuck on the...
