Safe Smart Phones for Kids!!!
I found this awesome phone for kids!!!!!!
https://gabbwireless.com/ Unlimited Text and talk No picture messaging!!!! No group messaging Has a camera but must be offloaded onto a computer No data or wifi capabilities No Games Has a Calender Has a Calculator Has an alarm So it has all the basic utilitarian features of a smart phone, without the dangers of internet access, being able to receive graphic pictures from predators or other kids. So we have been considering getting the kids a phone for a while. It would primarily be for my oldest who is old enough to run in a store alone for me while I stay with the kiddos in the car, or stay home alone for a while, or walk a quarter mile down the road to our library by himself to drop off or pick up school books. I want him to have a phone with him. Plus, honestly, finding him after church if we need to leave in a hurry for whatever reason is a pain. The youth groups meet in the old church building and he is all the way in the basement and I really don't want to drag out all the kids, esp with a newborn in March, to go get him early. The phone will also be available to his brothers to call and talk to their dad, who is a trucker, any time, it won't be the exclusive property of my oldest, but he will be the primary user because of age and need.

Don't mind my faces. They usually don't mean anything.
