Gabb Phone 4: The Perfect First Phone for Kids - Safe Apps, No Social Media/Internet Browser, GPS Tracking, Parental Controls, Talk & Text, 30 Activation Fee

My daughter has been begging for her first phone. It felt overwhelming at first to know what was the best option for her. My friend recommend the Gabb Phone and so after lots of research, we bought it and have been so happy with the purchase.If you buy from Amazon, the phone will not be pre-activated, so you may need to open it to activate it before giving it to your child if you want it all ready to go as a present. (The activation instructions are included in the box.)Gabb Phone 4 is the next step from the Gabb Watch and Gabb Phone Pro, so depending on your child's age (I recommend preteen), it would be the perfect next step in having their own phone but still with some safety features to keep your child safe.I love how the Gabb Phone 4 comes with an active GPS tracker (this was one of the features that sold me on the phone). I love how it also can use the Find My Phone feature if the phone gets lost.The apps are all preinstalled. It includes a Calculator, Clock, Contacts, Calendar, Camera, Gabb ID, Gabb Messenger, My Files, Notes, Phone, Photos, Settings, Video, Voice Recorder, and Weather. Gabb Music can also be used as a subscription.I love that the phone's plan is affordable and it is the perfect option to give my preteen a safe form of communication and freedom- while staying tech safe in a crazy world. Definitely Recommend!!

This is exactly what we've been looking for in a phone for our daughter. No internet, no social media, limited apps but still has GPS tracking, group texting, and calling. We've tried the smartwatches for kids, the call quality was always lacking, the GPS unreliable. After researching the Gabb phone it was a no brianer. The competitions phones just don't have the limitations you want for a child's phone. The call quality on the Gabb phone is clear as a bell. The GPS works spot on as well. The simplicity of the phone itself makes it super easy for my 11 year old to use. We love it so far and would 100% recommend it to anyone looking for a good phone with none of the apps you don't want your kids getting into.

I carefully considered all my options in getting my children their first phone for use as a mobile house phone. This one seemed like the perfect choice for our family. I wanted a smartphone for the location tracking for when my son was off in the neighborhood and so the kids could learn how to text the way the majority of us do (as opposed to using T9 on a flip phone), and I liked that this was incapable of scrolling apps or unfettered Internet access. This phone was at a good price for Christmas and offered a free month of service, so it seemed like a good time to make it happen.Right out of the box, after setting it up and picking a service plan, I knew this was a mistake. It functions like a bloated old phone that can’t handle updates. On top of that, you have the option as a parent to add some extra apps from the website, and every one I clicked on gave me an error message and didn’t load, which is for the best because the battery life is absolute trash. This phone, right out of the box and with no extra apps or pictures or videos and without any serious use, cannot hold a charge for more than a day, and then it takes hours to reach a full charge. We have to charge it overnight to make sure it gets a full charge.I’ve been charged already for the first month of service, even though they’re advertising a free month. I was able to switch from a two year contact to month-to-month (because I don’t see this phone lasting two years), and I spoke to a person when doing so. The only reason I’m not pushing to return it is because my kids love having a phone & I can’t afford a better phone right now, but I do feel scammed. I plan on getting a new older model iPhone or Android and utilizing parental controls and apps in the coming year.

I bought this phone for my granddaughter who is turning 12 soon. What a great way to allow her a piece of tech desired by so many her age, but with the peace of mind ( for her parents) that comes with no internet or social media access, and GPS tracking on a paired device.The phone comes with a battery you pop in yourself, usbc charging cable, and ear buds. Call, text, take selfies! What more could a 12-yr-old want?Set up was super simple and took very little time. Plan rates are affordable and have options to fit different needs. I opted to include Gabb Music, a worry-free option that gives kids a lot of choices.Thanks, Gabb, for helping kids live their best lives with safer tech.

Got the Gabb Phone 4 for my 5th grader, and it’s exactly what I hoped for. It’s simple, safe, and keeps them connected without all the distractions of social media or random apps. The phone feels sturdy and has just enough features (calling, texting, camera) to keep them happy and me worry-free.Battery life is solid—it easily lasts a full day of use. The parental controls are easy to set up and give me peace of mind knowing they’re not glued to the screen or stumbling onto something they shouldn’t.If you’re looking for a first phone for your kid that does the basics without opening the floodgates to the internet, this is it. No frills, no fluff, just what they need.
