The great cell phone war, as you might call it, has many parents toying with the decision to get a cellular device for their younger children. While there are certainly some benefits, like the ability to contact your child anytime, there are just as many concerns. Picking the right device is important.
Check with Your Provider
Start out by asking your current service provider what children-friendly options they provide. For example, T-Mobile as a family plan that lets parents limit the number of minutes on each phone and when it can be used. AT&T and others have similar options, so just ask. If it’s prepaid plans you want check out Boost Mobile, Ting, or Virgin Mobile.
