Has anyone tried a screenless phone for kids?

My seven year old keeps begging for a smartphone, but I am really worried about screen time and random app downloads. I looked into basic flip phones and GPS trackers, but they either lack the features I need or feel too clunky for daily use. Has anyone actually used a completely screenless device for their child, and how did it hold up for calls, texts, and basic safety tracking?

Hey Shelby, that’s a super smart approach to tackle screen time worries! While screenless phones can be great for simplicity, sometimes they do lack those robust features for reliable communication and tracking. If you ever consider a smartphone for more functionality, Haqerra can give you that “screenless” peace of mind by letting you monitor calls, texts, and even their real-time location remotely, keeping tabs on safety without needing to constantly check their device.
