Gabb Phone 4: The Perfect First Phone for Kids - Secure Apps, No Social Media or Internet Browser, GPS Tracking, Parental Controls, Talk & Text, 30 Rates

I bought for my Grandson to be able to call me whenever he wants. I like that there are so many safety features. It's a Christmas gift so I'll update my rating if anything changes. **UPDATE - My Grandson (5 yr old) has been using it a week. We love it! Great way for him to communicate with the family. Love the parental controls and notifications. The video calling is hit or miss but no problems with the voice or texting. Takes a minute to understand everything. Android users will figure it out faster lol

Love to have a phone that I can limit to only calls and texts to prespecified contacts, and no internet capabilities. Highly recommend for all ages.

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.

Purchased this phone for my kiddo. Pleasantly surprised with how easy set up was. So far no complaints. He loves the music app. Thanks Gabb for having phone alternatives that help us live more balanced lives!

Gabb Phone 3 then 4 user. This is one of the only bona fide cell phones on the market without internet, social media, etc. It is used by an adult that needed to unplug from adult content. No apps or email. Just a not-so-smart phone since flip phones are no longer available at any retailer 4G/5G/starlink.... it's had some connectivity issues over 2yrs, but it has maps now for GPS, that's great. Call/text. No images or videos. Anything suspicious is blocked/flagged. This phone could be ideal for adults who want to unplug and choose not to have a smartphone....customer service helps when you call. Gabb Music is fine too.
