Does this phone feature "voice-to-text" built-in, or do you need an aftermarket app?

Yes, it has the "voice-to-text" feature built in. When you go to send a text it is left from the spacebar. Just like apple products.

My Triumph phone had that. If I recall that feature came stock with phone. I hardly ever downloaded apps cause memory gets filled quick. I broke the Triumph phone, replaced it with new LG 4G phone, but I much prefer the Triumph phone to LG. I may buy another Triumph phone from amazon. Hate this LG phone. The Triumph was good phone, lasted thru 2-1/2 years of my abuse.

do you mind me asking what system you bought that did NOT come with the answering system? i just hooked up to vonage, and i need something with lots(4) of handsets, but no answering machine. Any advice would be great! Thanks so Much!

The phone does come w/a speaker phone, it works well...but don't expect android quality the phone was $20 you get what you pay for...the phone serves it's purpose it makes calls and allows for texting.

I believe it's GSM. However, the servers that take care of that model tmo sidekicke no longer exist. Synchronizing it with another carrier may be difficult or even impossible. It might sned and receive calls, and texts- but it may be with some difficulty. There might be some tutorials on youtube, but your time, money and effort might be better spent on a disposable phone. I've had 3 sidekicks, I used to love them, I wouldn't spend any $$ on this phone at this point in time.

No, I have it hooked into my phone that has a built in answering machine. Hope this helps. This particular machine meets all out needs.

No, I don't think so. But Verizon has a way to forward calls that it tied to voicemail, so I've never actually needed that feature.

No voice to text. (However, there are apps for that on google play). Just remember, this is a very basic device and you get what you pay for. I'd say it's between andriod and some cheap $20 mp3 player that is total crap. It's good. Not the best, but definitely not the worst.

They offer a speech text service you can purchase after the first free year or something like that. I did not use their service because I use Motospeak for free with my Motorola phone. I only had this device a month before the metal speaker came out and was lost forever making it useless. I replaced with a Samsung Bluetooth.

No. It's a very basic cell phone. Ity has large buttons, SUPERB battery life, but no voice activation.

No, it does not have voice calling. If you Bluetooth your phone your entire phone book will be visible.

No, this is not a smart phone. :) Just regular old talk and text. It does have internet functionality, however, I've personally never used this feature, so I can't really tell you much about it.

Nope just a simple push button phone. You can hook an external answering machine to it.

Hi, I didn't keep this phone because I found another one I liked better, but as best as I can remember it was text only. I noticed someone else had asked this question about the phone and the answer was also that it was just text only. I hope that helps!

I don't know - we have only had it a couple of months and have never looked into that feature. But we really like the phone - easy to use and easy voice mail. Maybe you could call their tech support to find out.

Yes. It is a true "smart phone" and AFAIK no provider will connect it without a full data package. For a simple QWERTY slider for texting, I recommend either the Pantech Ease (GSM) or the LG Extravert (CDMA). Both can be purchased inexpensively and unlocked for use with any secondary market/contract-free carrier.

Neither - you just have to check the Caller ID to know if someone has called. I'm not that impressed with this phone at all. :(

Hi It has text to speech but I looked a the spec and it appears that "Who is Calling" feature is not part of A2DP chip. Thank you Sean
