Description

The battery-operated, multicolored toy flip phone is red, blue and yellow with green, blue, yellow and orange dial buttons. Each button has its own sound: a ring, a beeping dialing tune, a busy signal and a "hello." The toy phone has a blue hard-plastic antenna with a ball-shaped tip that makes a clickity-clack sound.
