Hi. I don't have a smart phone. I have a Kyrocera Sprint Direct Connect. It does, however have blue tooth. Is there anyway I can connect my fitbit blaze to my phone so I can get texts, updates and missed calls, etc.?

Welcome to the forums @moomoomoo! As @SunsetRunner mentioned, smartphones are the basic requirement to install the Fitbit App and to connect your Blaze to your phone. 

You can see here the list of available devices for the Fitbit Apps.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions Cat Very Happy

Right, but there MUST be a way, right?

Sorry @moomoomoo, you do need the Fitbit App to be installed and running on your phone to activate notifications and view your stats. To get the app you'll need the Google Play Market, iOS Store or Windows store available on your phone's operating system.

Even if there's a way to get multiple notifications on your mobile device (not Fitbit) with an app like IFTTT, you'll still need to install this app on  your phone, downloading it from the same sources mentioned above. 

My apologies for this, let me know if you have any questions. Smiley Happy

The phone would also need to have Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy
