[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let your parents know about options like the Gabb phone. It's talk/text and a has a limited number of apps, but no social media and no internet. It's what my 13 (nearly 14 yo) uses. I had many of the concerns as your parents, but I realized he was missing out on social connection without a phone. [/quote] I found Gabb phone a waste of money. The texts often did not come through and the location service almost never worked right. You can’t download apps like you might want to check your grades/homework or to check the bus schedule, and can’t use it to listen to music. (They have very limited music — not what a teen would want.). And if your friends have apple phones they won’t add you to the text chain because it messes up the text chain to have non apple phones on it. We bought two and it was a total waste of money—we broke down and got cheap apple phones and put parental controls on them.[/quote]
