Which Phones Work Best for Kids?

Great basic first-phone options for younger children include:
- Nokia 105 (4G)
- Doro 6820 (flip phone with big buttons)
- Alcatel 3080 or similar dumb phones
Pair a simple phone with ParentShield for maximum safety and minimal distractions during the school day.

This offer is ideal for:
- Year 6 pupils preparing for high school
- Parents trialling mobile access over summer
- Families who want safety without the pressure of 12 month contracts
