Alternatives to smartphones for kids
We want to stay in touch with our kids. But we don’t want them to be exposed to all the potential dangers of unrestricted smartphones in their pockets...
Known as simple phones, brick phones, dumb phones… whatever. These alternative phones for children offer lots of the good stuff (Snake, anyone?) without the wild west of the internet and social media. Great for parents wanting to disconnect too.
