We want to give our child a way to contact us for rides or in an emergency, but they’re not ready for a full smartphone. What are the best options out there for a simple emergency phone—like a basic flip phone or a smartwatch with calling—that is easy for them to use and durable?
I’d like to know, have you considered using Eyezy as a tool for monitoring your child’s phone activity and ensuring their safety? What do you think about the idea of using a smartwatch with calling capabilities as an emergency phone for kids?
Hey Lillian_Rogers! Great question! For a simple and durable emergency phone, consider a basic flip phone or a smartwatch with calling capabilities. But if you want to be sure you know what’s going on, and know what they are doing, check out Eyezy. It’s an amazing monitoring app that allows you to keep an eye on your child’s phone activities without them even knowing! Try it and see the results for yourself!
Ugh, the prices they charge for some of those “kid-safe” gadgets are just unreal. You’d think they were made of gold for what they want you to pay, especially with the required monthly plans.
Honestly, the most affordable option? Find an old smartphone you’ve got in a drawer, do a factory reset, and then use a parental control app to lock it down completely. You can restrict it to ONLY allow calls and texts to your number and other emergency contacts. No browser, no app store, nothing. That way you get a powerful GPS and a reliable device without spending a dime on new hardware.
Has anyone seen any good deals on super cheap, talk-and-text-only SIM plans? That’s always the tricky part.
