and gabb also

Pinwheel is trash and good is Gabb!

@@Classics1w1 Yeah, gabb is good if you want your kid to go on a porn binge the second he gets any form of internet access. Moderation is always better than nothing at all

@@touchgrass7129 that comment was along time ago

This post should help you decide familytechzone.com/troomi-vs-pinwheel-vs-gabb-which-cell-phone-for-kids-should-you-buy/

Yes it does!

I contacted gabb this morning and I was told that they do not offer monitoring, and they only offer approved contacts on the watch and not the phone

I think they both do a great job! You can't go wrong with either choice there.

As a 12 year old I feel terrible for your daughter

What are you trying to get help with? Maybe I can help push it through?

The kidssmart web browser on my son's phone doesn't work. When he tries to open it, it automatically closes after about two seconds. I have tried to call, email, live chat, and use the support button on the parental control app for help but no way of getting in contact.

@@Crystal_curls85 have you allowed any Urls in the parent portal?

I have allowed a few for testing purposes but it wasn't working. I finally received a reply to my email from troomi today with some ways to try and resolve the issue. Hopefully they help. Thank you so much for replying and trying to assist. It's very much appreciated.

Struggling with the exact same thing, just got my phone for my son. It won’t call/text I cannot get a hold of the company absolutely frustrated and kinda feeling like I got scammed. 😑

Yes. That is correct

Fingers crossed!! No update yet

Bark is not currently compatible with Troomi.

They have added message monitoring. I updated the post on my website with a comparison of all the kids smartphone options. familytechzone.com/troomi-vs-pinwheel-vs-gabb-which-cell-phone-for-kids-should-you-buy/

Planning on releasing this video on Thursday.

@@FamilyTech any update on when this video will be posted?

@@FamilyTech Can you do a video about the Bark Phone?, i've seen it on the website, and it seems like a great phone! It doesn't let your kids delete text and picture messages, it has a parent portal, and the Bark parental controls subscription is included in the price, and it costs $49/month. Some other great features i'd like to mention is that parents can remotely lock the device, parents can block websites and apps, parents can decide if they want their kids to have access to Gmail, RU-vid, and more, set time limits, manage phone calls and text messages, and even see what websites, your child visited. Compare the Bark phone with the Pinwheel and Gabb phones. The Gabb phone lets you block phone calls and texts, but only after those calls and texts have been sent, With The Bark and Pinwheel phones, you can block contacts before info comes through, All phones have the ability to track your kid's location, The Bark phone plan includes the phone case, all phones have parental controls, with the Bark, the phone grows with your child and allows you to add more apps as they get older, Bark gives you automatic monitoring, thanks to Bark subscription included, and more

@@FamilyTech Another thing with the Bark phone, is that you can decide how much data that your kids get every month, If you want to save money on your kids phones, you're going to want their plan with unlimited calls and texts and unlimited WiFi-only data, it costs $50/month plus taxes. If you do want to get your kids some cellular data, you may want to consider their plan with unlimited calls, texts, with 4 gigabytes of cellular data, and unlimited data when your kids are using the internet on your home WiFi, and it costs $60/month plus tax. For kids that want lots of data, you're going to be looking at the plan with unlimited calls, text and WiFi data, and 8 gigabytes of cellular data, which costs $70/month plus tax, but i'm not gonna recommend this plan, i think that most families should get their $50/month plan, or the $60/month plan, because both the $50 and $60 dollar plans are perfect for families on a budget. I'm also not gonna recommend that you get the Bark phone for your kids if you have 3 or 4 kids who want phones, because Bark doesn't offer a discount when you have more kids on their service, like Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile do. A good "cheaper" option would probably be that you give your kids an old smartphone, or get them a non-touchscreen flip phone, or a cheap Nokia C100 through one of the prepaid T-Mobile mvnos, like Consumer Cellular, they offer flip phones for $50, they also have cheaper plans starting at $20/month. The Consumer Cellular specific Nokia C100 costs $100, for families that have two or three kids that want to have phones, i would say, sign up for Consumer Cellular, and buy a brand new phone for one of your kids, and give the rest of your kids older smartphones, and put all of your kids on the same Consumer Cellular phone plan, and pay separately for the Bark parental controls subscription, if you do that, you'd pay $75 or less every month for your kids' phones

Jennifer can you please elaborate? We are looking into Troomi and I'd love to hear about your experience!

My mom can control who I can call and text. Atm I can only call and text her and my little sister. If you want to do that with your child...you are also a awesome mom!

Definitely already on my schedule!

@@FamilyTech Fantastic- looking forward to it!

How long did shipping take?

No. They cannot

No, they do not approve apps for their curated app store that are social media apps

yes, you can

No, i don't think so..i bought two phones for my kids and it only has emojis.

It is not currently compatible with Bark. Pinwheel is.

No

They did!! I'm creating a new video this week

Great! Honestly Do you prefer Troomi or Pinwheel ?

Text monitoring is awesome! If I was allowed to text anyone else beside my mom and sister.....I'd definitely want my mom looking at everything!

It all depends on what you set in the parent portal.

I think only when on WiFi.

If car is enabled with wifi or parent allows the Troomi phone Hot Spot it would work.

The Google maps app, though, can be used anytime even when not on WiFi.

My son figured out how to get around Family link very quickly. :(
