[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about getting him a flip phone? Can text and call, but no browser ability and texting is not easy. [/quote] We got my son a slider phone (w/ keyboard for texting) in 6th. It was fine for us calling him but since kids' texting is so full of emojis etc. it didn't really keep him in the loop with friends. We switched a smart phone in 7th but it was heavily locked down with a parental control app so all he could do was call, text, and play a couple games we approved, and we could track his location. No social media, no app store or web browser access. I liked him having it for communication with friends and with us when he wanted to go to a friend's house after school or decided to stay after school for an activity.[/quote]
