Barbie | Flip | Unlocked | KaiOS | Compatible with All Carriers | Power Pink | US Version

If you are looking for a break from your smart phone without completely switching over this phone is for you.I had no issues using this phone with Verizon, my texting and everything works fine.The battery life is fantastic, I love not having to constantly charge my phone!I still plan to use my smart phone when I am traveling because the Google maps on this phone honestly isn’t that good. it doesn’t load well and you manually have to click to the next step of the directions which is kind of annoying but it could get you around if you needed it. It’s so light weight and adorable. It comes with all of these cute little features that just make me happy every time i hold it.I plan on using it as my main phone and so far I see no issues with being able to do that.It is more expensive than your typical flip phone and probably less sturdy but I am very happy with my purchase and I am so glad I waited till the right phone came along before switching!

If you want a flip phone this one is a great option. The bonus to having this flip phone in its basic nature is that it does have google maps on it; so that’s a helpful option that isn’t in many basic phone options. It does not have an Apple Store it will be the Kios one and as a person who doesn’t need apps having the option is nice, the quality of those apps would have to be up to people who use them regularly.The rings have Barbie themes in them which is cute, along with Barbie health tips on detoxing. No cute Ken message that some people mentioned, but that might only be on the international versions. So make sure you buy for the right region.It does not have T9 text messaging, it does have something similar with ABC predict which you will have to scroll over to find the right word. It slows down your ability to text if you have mastered T9, but once you learn it I’m sure you be fast like you were with the other method. It does have emojis and the ability to receive those and send pics without downloading data like some make you do.I have prepaid Verizon on it, and it worked right away. My SIM card didn’t fit quite right and to save time and money I shaved one side, the plastic part, and it fit just fine. It has clear voice and better reception from my old flip phone.The other pink cases you can switch out is very nice in design. The hot pink reminds me of the Barbie convertible car and the soft plastic feels like Barbie’s Mattel toys would feel like. It gives me the childlike joy of getting a Barbie from my grandmother every year, so it adds that sentimental feeling when picking it up. The only true complaint I would have is the reflective mirror on the top case. I was never a person who liked to check my face often so that isn’t a useful feature to me. I find it distracting when light catches it. I just wished it gave me an option to switch out the top case because of that. I will just put a vinyl over it but that’s me fixing it to my preference.As a consumer the downfall would be lack of Bluetooth. Outside of that I see it as a good starter phone, detox phone, senior phone, or anyone who just doesn’t want a smart phone.

The phone is honestly amazing. I thought I wouldn’t like it as much as I do but I’m surprisingly liking the detox from social media. As far as the price, can’t complain! It’s a good price for a flip phone on today’s market. The color omg is so freaking pretty. The ringtones are so nostalgic. Battery life isn’t that great but it’s nothing to charge once in the day. It’s so lightweight that I often found myself reaching for my Barbie phone to make calls. Now I only have used it heavily for one day but I will add an update on durability. So far money was well spent, and I’m satisfied with my purchase. I do not need Bluetooth to have a basic phone.

I really do like this phone. It's cute and says "Hi, Barbie!" when you power it on. I was able to convert my spotify playlist to mp3 format and transfer it to this phone. It has google maps so I can check my bus times. (Something I was worried about) . You can go on the internet, it's not super fast or anything but it works.As for messaging, I get text messages no problem. When it comes to images it seems to be a hit or miss, I can send them just fine. But sometimes when people send me images, it sometimes never loads, if someone send me an image on Monday, i'll receive it Tuesday . Same with videos. But sometimes I get the images just fine . I haven't figured out the reason for this.The phone comes with some pre-installed games. Theres an app store with some stuff for download nothing exceptional. But it's a dumb-phone. Have no problem calling others, or others calling me. I saw a review saying the battery life was bad. In my opinion it's great. It last a long time, even if I have internet sharing on.

Honestly, probably a 5 star phone because it does work very well. Good signal, easy to use, super cute, and love the accessories. Standard Nokia quality so a really decent phone. However, it is NOT compatible with Verizon or Xfinity. And it does NOT have the Bluetooth function. The last one really made me want to give this 1 star because this is just a really dumb feature to not provide on the US version. All of the online resources for the phone are for the UK version. HUGE bummer on the Bluetooth. Couple that with fact that I can't use the barbie ear buds with it and I'm just bitter about it. As I watched my 10 year old excitedly wait for me to pair the two only to then disappoint. I'm annoyed and my review reflects this.
