Gabb Phone 4 is designed with safety in mind.
The Gabb Phone 4 is built from the ground up for kids — no social media, no open browser, no app store. Gabb makes parenting easier, and because our devices have fewer distractions than iPhones (and much nicer than a flip phone), you’re less likely to face the battles over time limits and apps you know they’re not ready for.
* Requires an active Gabb service plan. $30 activation fee applies. Contract-term plans subject to early termination fee. See Terms and Conditions for full terms.
1 Content filtering significantly reduces exposure to inappropriate content. No filter is 100% effective.
2 Video calls are monitored via periodic screenshots, not continuous recording.
3 Contact management is child-managed by default on Gabb Phones. Parent-managed mode must be manually enabled in the MyGabb app.
4 GPS location updates approximately every 15 minutes. Accuracy depends on GPS signal strength, cellular connectivity, battery level, and device conditions. Not a real-time or continuous monitoring service.
