What are the best phones for kids?

If you’ve come to the conclusion that a cell phone is indeed in your child’s near future, how do you know what phone to get? Well, truth is, there’s no right or wrong answer. There are, however, many cell phones geared at the younger generation that offer features that both kids and parents will love. We’ve provided a list of cell phones that will please mom and dad while also offering highly sought after features including full QWERTY keyboards for texting, built-in music players, on-board cameras and camcorders, and more.

If you’re still undecided whether a cell phone is right for your child, here is some food for thought that might help you make the right decision: Cell phones for kids: Questions for parents to ponder. Also be sure to check out Wirefly’s hands-on videos (linked for each device below) for a close look at everything these great phones have to offer.

  • Well I use http://www.kajeet.com/lbm for my kids great rates. NO CONTRACTS. Total parent control over the phone….So you know who calls in…. THEY CAN’T IF YOU DON’T PROGRAM IT. And you can take the control feature off for little kids. Love them

  • There are many choices of cell phones out there but when it comes to choosing one for you child, tracfone is a great choice. Tracfone offers high-quality phones including camera and data phones that will appeal to kids taste. Plus, there is no contact and a whole years service can cost only $80 for 240 mins. If you have a child that might use their phone more and 240 mins wouldn’t be enough, for a $20 airtime card they can receive 60 minutes of talk time.

    Why do kids need a cell phone? Just get them a FotoDialer. It allows them to dial people/places by pressing a button next to the wallet-sized photograph of whoever they want to call. Emergency numbers are placed on the first page.
