Pinwheel Slim 5 Kids Smartphone (Age 8-18) | Built-in Parent Management | 1,200+ Vetted Apps with Child Safety Ratings | No Social Media | Unlocked for Most Cell Carriers | No Activation Fees

So when ordering this item, I had a choice between 3 or 6 months. I chose 3 months, but when this piece of garbage came it would not activate without me putting in a credit card. No thanks ... packing it up and RETURN TO SENDER.

Pinwheel is the perfect phone for my 8 and 10 year olds. I wasn't ready to let them have access to social media and wanted to avoid internet browsing, so this was the perfect solution. I love that I can monitor any texts or calls remotely so I don't have to take their phones and feel like I'm snooping on them! They love them!

Phone lasted less than 1 years, don't waste your money

We have loved having this phone for our daughter. I love that I can set a schedule for when she can use which apps and then forget about it. I don't have to worry about her playing games on her phone all night because there are no games on her phone at bedtime. My favorite feature is the ability to only allow people we trust to contact her on the phone, as well as only allowing her to contact people we trust. I will definitely be getting a pinwheel for my next child when he is ready for a phone.

Incredible product, finally a solution that works! Customer service has been excellent and the parental dashboard is exactly what we were looking for. Evaluated Gabb, Troomi, and Bark extensively and am so glad that we decided to go with Pinwheel.

PSA: Do Not buy a Pinwheel phone for your kids. Just don't do it. We chose it over a Gabb phone for the additional safe apps it promised. And so our daughter could still stream her music and keep her same playlists. She had the phone for less than a year before it broke. Not dropped. No water damage. The dumb thing simply stopped working. After 11 months. Before that, it was glitchy, unresponsive, and all the so-called "safe" apps had to be removed, as they led to internet access. They have the WORST customer support ever! And they do not guarantee their phones. Not even for a year. They offered us 20% off to buy a replacement. That's it. And that was after battling them for a long time that a broken phone is not "their responsibility" and we should "lower our expectations" on what they can do for us. So they finally offered 40 bucks...off a $200 phone! So if it continues to crap out each year, they'll allow us to buy a new one for $160 a year. In fact, when you cancel your Pinwheel account, on the dropdown menu for why are you canceling, one of the options literally says: "Phone broke and you won't replace it". Which means this has happened before. Probably a lot. Such a frustrating situation! Save yourself the headache. Don't buy Pinwheel.

I bought my phone through Pinwheels site and when I saw them here on Amazon I had to leave a review. This is a great phone especially protecting your kids from the dangers on the internet (porn) and social media. I still wanted him to have a game or 2 to play and this offered that. This is better then the Gabb phone because it has more approved apps and can use our family Amazon music account where the Gabb you have to buy their music service. So glad we made the switch to Pinwheel. Also their customer service is AMAZING. Gabb doesn't even leave a number to call 🚩🚩. My son who is a bit older so I can trust him a bit more with the game apps. The best thing is you can approve the apps from the parents portal you don't have to have them. Some approved apps they offer a variety pokemon and most importantly Adventures in Odyssey. I'd definitely buy the more expensive Samsung phone it works much better less glitchy and keeps service. We had many issues with this cheaper version Blu brand phone. If you can trust you kid with a more expensive phone I'd do it and buy the Samsung one.
