Good job in explaining each device . We are thinking of getting a phone for our 17 year old. Shes in 12 th grade , heading to college next September . What I do not want is the easy access to the internet via the cell phone. She will have to use the lap top for that, and with a busy schedule there won’t be much time for they we are hoping lol Shes a good kid , reads two books a week , honor roll in her private school, plays all kinds of sports. I feel she is doing so well because she has never had access to the toxic internet so easily . Her lap top is monitored at home . Used for homework, reports etc. my continued goal is to not have have get sucked in to the internet nonsense . So, thank you for all that you do to help us parents who will not give up on their kid and allow the toxic internet , or the government run public schools get a hold of their child’s hearts , souls, and minds . ❤
While as a parent myself I fully understand your fears and where you're coming from. But if your child is now 17 you might have to start releasing the reins a bit. To put it into perspective, next year they can literally buy their own phone plan and do whatever they want as an adult. You might want to quickly be working on them having access those those things responsibly instead. Teaching that self discipline by this age will serve them much better. Otherwise what could well happen is they turn 18 then go hog wild. I fully support this monitoring cell for younger kids or younger teens this isn't the best suited for nearly adults in my opinion. Sounds like you have a pretty good kiddo by the way. I'm betting you can give them some freedom if they are this responsible 😉 -Sincerely a mom of 3 bio daughters (19,17,13), 3 foster kiddos (16,15,7), a few "extra kids" (20,19,19) and a daycare provider 😉
Unless she has a disability, she will be 18 and (legally) an independent adult next year. There's only so much you can "hide" from her at this point. Just something to consider.
I also would like to add the Light Phone as a suggestion as well. Just a straight forward communication device without exposure to social media or the smartphone baggage
If I had a child, I’d give them a damn flip phone until they hit the age of 19, because that’s the age I got my first phone and it was a Kyocera K10 Royal.
Problem I have found is all stores in my area don't even offer phones without Internet access. Also there are now tons of scam calls and texts that we didn't deal with growing up. Not to mention even just peers who have their number bullying, threatening , drugs, etc, sending inappropriate photos back and forth via text, and such. Sadly there are so many more threats than we used to have. So we have to always try to stay one step ahead of the danger when it comes to phones.
@@punkstermom1984 yes and that’s why I’m going back to a flip phone and I do not care if people get mad or upset. We need to try and distance ourselves from technology but sadly, it’s everywhere we go😡
Yes! The most basic plan (currently $49/monthly) is unlimited talk and text with no data. So, you would be able to call/text without WiFi. The step up includes 4 GB of data at the $59/monthly price.
Is there a Gabb Phone with a notes app that can transfer notes from the phone to a pc via a USB plug? Also can the phone be purchased without buying a plan? I'm looking for a pocket sized device just for notes that is completely self reliant and doesn't need internet or an e-mail. Something strictly for taking notes. Any help or advice is much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Hi there! Are you looking for a device with phone and notes capabilities? If you're just looking for a device for notes, we might recommend you check out a digital notebook - there are many good ones out there. We hope this helps!
@@parentprotech Sorry for the late reply. I'm looking for a device solely for notes, but if other phone capabilities come with it then that's ok. A device that is small and wont take up much space in my pockets. Something that makes it easy to transfer notes via USB to PC and vise versa. I'll look into digital notebooks, but unfortunately most of them I've come across are too big. Do you know of any device or phone that fits what I'm describing? Thank you for the response. I'll fix my notification settings. I wish I saw this message sooner. Anyways, Best wishes to you and yours. EDIT: I forgot to mentioned that I also want the text keyboard instead of a digital pen.
@@HocusFocus-gg1to hi there! You might want to look into the Remarkable device if you solely want something to take notes with. Please let us know if you have any questions!
I'm looking for a first phone for my 10-year-old grandson. It's so confusing. I just want a basic phone which has the ability to call and text...as well as have GPS tracking and a good battery life. The phones in this video seem to be more than I need. Does anyone have a recommendation? Thanks so much
We can relate with your frustration Mark. You’re right a lot of these phones do more than what you’re looking for which may be a good thing once your grandson is older. In your current season, we would recommend the Troomi phone. It’s super easy to set up. An unlimited talk and text plan is $19.95/mo and you’ll also be able to have a GPS family location tracker on the phone. You can even easily set restrictions on who your child can be in contact with. We would also recommend you watch our updated video on Kid’s safe smartphones available on our channel where we review Troomi’s latest phone. Hope this helps! Have a great day Mark! 😁
Good question! We didn't go into much detail about the specific phones they offer in the video, but Pinwheel does offer a "durable" option for kids who are rough on their devices. You can find more about that phone here: www.pinwheel.com/phones/rugged-3
Yes! Great question. If you want to see all of your child's text messages, the best option would be to look at the Gabb, Pinwheel, or Troomi devices. Bark monitoring will alert you if anything concerning comes up on your child's device (bullying, self harm, explicit content, etc.), and they will show you concerning messages in their context, but they do not offer a full log of your child's messages.
You definitely can with either of the options mentioned below, but it's important to keep in mind that any solution you add later will not be as comprehensive as one that's built in to the operating system of the phone!

Okay- but you used the word "fact" in your comment- I'm asking that we hear facts on all sides of this issue and stating that iPhones start at $1K isn't a fact.@@statiquecono
We had the Gabb 4 for less than 48 hours before I realized it was the biggest mistake. It's awful and their customer service was JUST as bad. I have never regretted a purchase so much.
Thanks for sharing your experience, Samantha! We hate you had such a bad experience. Shoot us an email (team@parentprotech.com), and we'd love to help you navigate this and look at alternatives that would be a good fit for your family!! 🙂
@@parentprotech I just saw there was a reply. Straight out of the box the phone didn't work. The location services didn't work. We had issues with messaging. You can only video message people who also have the Gabb chat app. Their customer service was HORRIBLE. They kept ignoring me, not responding, brushing things under the rug, and acting like it was my fault it didn't work straight out of the box. Even after all of their trouble shooting. All in all, paid $62 to get the phone and when filed to returned it than 48hrs after receiving it, they kept pushing me off and pushing me off. Then they only refunded me $20 because they said the other fees were for the service we used (less than 48hrs) and for a non refundable activation fee. It was the junkiest phone I have ever seen and their customer service was horrible. The whole thing felt like a scam so I checked out the Better Business Bureau and they have an F rating.
@@MZNBoys-z6j I just commented below. Also another thing to add. They boast about 7 parent approved apps. This doesn't mean you get to approve 7 apps, they are apps that were approved by their group and of them 4 or 5, if I am remembering correctly, are different religious text apps. So like the Bible, the Torah, the book of Mormon, the Quran. So basically my son had the Bible app and a chess app.
iPhone SE isn’t so expensive and a good phone for first time cell phone I didn’t go all out on my son with a $500 phone and up lol and I like I can control features just like the rest of the iPhones
fuck this man gabb is the only good phone but it doesnt ship. im an adult and im buying this phone for me so all these other phones where you can enable stuff dont do anything for me
