Gabb Wireless phones & smartwatch

Gab offers safe starter phones that allow parents to control what their child can access. Kids can text and make calls, but there’s no browser, no social media, and Gabb offers filtering against spam and inappropriate contacts with “Gabb Guard”. Gabb phones are best for kids 8–13 who are ready for a phone but not ready for the internet in their pocket, or families who want a “middle step” before handing over a full iPhone or Android.

They offer two phone models – one for kids, one for teens – as well as a smartwatch for ages 5+ which offers calling, texting (voice to text), and a few apps for exercise tracking, task management, and basic utilities like a calculator, alarm and stopwatch.

Gabb’s social media is also worth a follow, as they regularly rate different kinds of tech to highlight risks for youth.

Devices are $150-180 and monthly plans are all under $10/mo.
