My 10-year-old is starting to walk to school alone and I want a basic phone they can use if something goes wrong, but I’m confused about what works with Aussie networks and what’s simple enough for a kid. Any recommendations for something durable, with just call/text and maybe a panic button?
Hi Carol! What worked for us was a simple phone with a panic button and limited features—something like the Eyezy setup lets you monitor easily and keep things safe without overwhelming them with apps. Also, check that the phone supports major Aussie networks like Telstra or Optus for the best coverage. Durable models from brands like Nokia or even some kids’ smartwatches can be great too!
