Safe Smartphones for Kids from Gabb

Abby H.

Have y’all heard of Gabb Phone?

Recently, we’ve been talking about getting the kids phones. They both have devices (kindles), so they don’t need another way to get online, but they do need phones since we don’t have a landline.

Gabb has smartwatches and smartphones and depending on your kids’ age and their needs, there are three different phone plans to choose from.

Receive FREE* Gabb Phone or 50% Off* Gabb Phone 3 Pro and Gabb Watch 3 and One month FREE when you purchase a Plan. That’s a pretty sweet deal.

I’ll spend the weekend looking over all of the details and plans, and then let the kids know.

 

Talk Back: Do your kids have phones?
