What To Consider When Buying A Phone For A Teenager

More and more teenagers are asking for mobile phones and there are a number of things that you need to consider before you make this purchase.  One of the biggest concerns you will have is security and you should discuss this with the phone provider that you go to. I always have a conversation with the vodafone store near me such as https://www.kingcommunications.ie/store-contact-details/ so that I can be sure that I am getting the best advice and the best deal for me and my teenager.

The first thing that you can do is to have Google Family Link installed on the phone. This allows parents to be able to control how and when teenagers can access the mobile phone including when they can access apps and the internet. It also allows parents to be able to control the time the phone is switched on and off.

The second thing that you can do is to look at security apps that could help your teenager to be safe when they are out and about. Hollie Guard is a personal security app that allows the user to ask for help if they find themselves in a dangerous situation, it also records audio, video and gps locations so that you can be sure that you can find your teenager if you needed to in an emergency. Phones for teenagers are something of a blessing and curse. At least in these ways we can use them positively to protect themselves and from others.
