My bubba was bought this when she was about 6 months old as a present and ever since I have been trying to find a noisy toy that plays the same thing over and over agin to recipricate the gift.

My little girl adores it and plays with it constantly, even nearly a year on. There are two settings on the phone, one is where you press a button and it plays music, which will eventually drive you mad and the other one is where it tells you the shape of the button eg. square. There is animal buttons- a dog and a cat which make the appropiate noises that then get imitated for the next week. The buttons flash when you press them and make noises to correspond with the number on it, say if you pressed 2, it would make two noises.

If you press the button on the side, it rings out and a voice answers "Hello". My little girl loves this and is just managing to get to the stage where she responds with something that vaguely sounds like hello. It saves my phone from being stolen and thrown around the room.

The batteries have lasted quite well, we have had to change them once as the batteries were dying and all the noises seemed to merge into an endless drone. To nake them last longer, there is an on/off switch on the side and it stops it going off at the bottom of the toybox.

To be honest, I think it is good value for money, I think they cost about £10 new and my little girl loves it and it keeps her entertained. It is very robust as well and has stood the test of time. It does drive me mad but any noisy toy does that!
