Review: Great Phone for Children - I bought this phone for my 10 year old son and I highly recommend it. I have to approve all his contacts, I can set limits, track him and get alerts if he does anything that seems suspicious or inappropriate. I feel safe with him using this.
Review: Good for a first phone or parents looking for more parental control - Setup was fairly easy, the parental controls are excellent, and the real-time location tracking gives great peace of mind. My child loves having their own phone, and I love knowing they’re safe. Recommend for any parent considering a first phone.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good phone that is very customizable
*by J***N on January 4, 2026*

Well thought out..integrates very well with an adults phone to police what apps are being used, approve contacts, send alerts of inappropriate conduct, and has GPS. Best of all can block all social media apps or allow them if you wish. I feel so much more comfortable with my child having a phone that they can grow into if maturity allows..love it!
