I’m thinking about giving my middle schooler his first cellphone. I’ve thought it enough and I think it would make life easier when he has sports or band practice, being at friend’s house, etc (so no need to bring discussions about that) I’m just trying to decide on a small but reliable phone. Possibly the iPhone 6s... any better ideas? Edit: smart phone
One with insurance on it . :)
Lol yep
Parental Controls which have been tested to work. Track where is the phone. (find my iPhone). block installation of new apps (specially social media ones).
One with access to blind.
Get an old nokia flip phone thats indestructible and can text and call. Worked for me when I was 16.
Came here to say this. No need for a big smart phone. He’ll just watch porn on it anyways.
Nokia brick phone

Our son has the new Nokia brick. Don't rush to get a smart phone or if you need it, lock it down like crazy as others have suggested.
Is your son in middle school? I worry about kids being mean about what kind of phone. I know it sounds lame but my son has medical issues and kids have bullied him before 😢 and I can tell this cellphone thing seems to be important for him. I feel powerless about his health issues but a phone is something I can do, I just want to find something appropriate for his age
I feel a iPhone 6/7 is a reliable and reasonably priced device
iPhone XS
Cheapest one with no data
Smartphone or feature phone?
