A real smartphone designed to help kids develop healthy phone habits! The phone ships with the Pinwheel OS installed (Android-based), allowing parents or caregivers to control the phone from the Caregiver Portal. With Pinwheel, there is no need to take your child's device from them in order to monitor texts! The Portal, which is available remotely on web, iOS, and Android for your convenience, allows you to create a contact Safelist, monitor texts and calls, manage screen time, track via GPS, add apps to the phone from the curated Pinwheel app store and more. The Pinwheel Slim is an ideal first phone for your child or teen as it is designed to grow with them! The Pinwheel system allows you to help them learn to use technology by actively parenting their phone journey at the beginning, and to give them more independence with additional apps and features as their responsibility level increases. A Pinwheel Caregiver Portal subscription is REQUIRED and will be an additional charge after the first 3 months included with this purchase. Add the device to your current cellular plan, or activate the SIM card and optional plan that comes in the box. Pinwheel Slim 6 is compatible with major cellular networks, including Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile.
