Phone For Kids
Hope this helps someone
While I live in the 21st century, I do not feel confident when it comes to making tech-related decisions. As someone who considers myself technologically challenged, I recently found myself facing the daunting task of finding a phone for my children to use when under the care of a babysitter. In this blog post, I will share my experience, including the model I selected and the factors that influenced my decision.
The Quest Begins:
After much contemplation, I took the plunge and decided to purchase a phone online. I can't pinpoint exactly why I settled on a specific model. For those interested, I will provide a link to the specific phone model I chose, but please note that this is not a promotional post. I am sure there are many other models that could work. I just know this one actually worked for me. I set it up today, and it works, new phone number and all.
The Chosen Model, Alcatel TracFone:

The phone I selected comes with a numeric keypad and lacks a full keyboard. I chose this model primarily because I wanted to minimize the risk of my children stumbling upon the internet while using it. Although I have reservations about its classification as "kosher" due to its Wi-Fi capabilities, the absence of a keyboard makes it highly unlikely for accidental internet access to occur.
Affordability and Features:
One significant factor that influenced my decision was the relatively low price of the phone compared to other options I considered. The phone I purchased was priced at $46. It came with a SIM card. The associated plan included unlimited text and call capabilities, for a monthly charge of $10 billed to my credit card. Please note that these details may vary depending on the model and the provider.
Conclusion:
Finding the right phone for your children can be a challenging task, especially if you're not well-versed in technology. However, with some perseverance and research, it is possible to make an informed decision that meets your requirements and budget. Remember to prioritize safety, functionality, and affordability when choosing a phone for your kids. Hopefully, my journey in purchasing a phone for my children serves as a helpful guide for those facing a similar dilemma.

Note: I used chat GPT to write this post, as many people in real life asked for this information, and this seemed an easier way to tell them exactly what I did then texting them individually.
