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.

Do not second guess yourself. A very safe phone monitored by us the parents. This is no internet so zero access to the web, perfect. My daughter has to ask to add contacts, we choose, and you can monitor the testing. Quality phone, large screen great games included.

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

As a basic locked phone, it's not bad.There are features not on the phone that should be. Being able to remotely increase the volume. Better app history reports. Little things like that that add up.Their support has been great. I hope they will address the feature requests out there. If they did, this would beat gabb and bark without a fight.

This phone while certainly being safe for kids as a communication device is beyond impossible to use even when allowed apps are installed. They don't show up. Every time my kid opens his phone and wants to use something as simple as the alarm clock app, we get a huge notice saying the action is not allowed and to contact IT. So, I go into the parental dashboard online, make sure every bloody box is checked, and still nothing. It is constantly crashing. The phone service is unreliable. It's overpriced Samsung garbage that does not do what it says it can do. If the allowed installed apps would just work (learning apps!!!!) and if the phone service would stop dropping, I'd not be actively searching for a new phone. This thing comes across as the answer to your prayers as a parent, but the usability is utterly dismal. Cannot recommend.

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!

Don’t buy it!!! I purchased a Pinwheel as the first phone for my middle school son. It’s unreliable, over-priced and never worked correctly. Apps didn’t load, most of the time after unlocking it wouldn’t bring up the Home Screen and would crash.There’s no tech support. I’ve owned several Android phones it shouldn’t be this hard!

We have had Pinwheel for 2 years for our 15 year old. We just upgraded his phone and purchased a second phone for our 12 year old. The phones are excellent quality with plenty of memory, great camera quality, and bright/clear graphics. We have had nothing but great experiences with customer service as well. But above all of that, the peace of mind knowing our boys are as safe as possible on their phones is the best thing about Pinwheel!
