"Dumb" phone for kids

[Ippagoggy]

My daughter is 7. I'd like to get her the equivalent of a dumb phone, i.e. no games, no camera, no internet browsing. I basically just want it to support:

(1) making calls
(2) sending texts
(3) GPS -- so I know where she is.

If it has some minor auxiliary functions like FM radio or a calculator that's fine, but really I just want to know where she is and give her a way to communicate with me in an emergency.

If it came in some kind of 'wrist watch' form, then even better. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Also, side question : why isn't this a huge market? Wouldn't lots of parents like this kind of thing?

this lot seem to do the jobs you want

Not cheap though, cheapest option is £70+

Nokia 105 with a Giffgaff SIM and as pp suggested airtag or similar stuck on back. There are a few games like snake on it but nothing of significance.

The 4g one as the 2g one will lose reception soon. I have a nokia 2660 flip and love it.

9 year old grandchild has a Doro 1380, not a smartphone, can call and text, there's a rubbish camera. It is absolutely fine for her to contact or be contacted in an emergency which is all she needs it for.

We have an iMoo wristwatch from Amazon. GPS, calls only to contacts approved by parent, plus parent (or other admins) can do video calls, which is very cute. Voice messages both ways. Texts from parent/admins to child wristwatch. Has a very rubbish camera for selfies. We use 1p Mobile SIM (uses EE network), minimum £10 per 3 months.

I bought 2 Nokia 2660 and cannot use them : I may be being dumb. Charged and have sim installed - nothing happening !! Any ideas??

DS has a Nokia. It doesn’t do gps- fundamentally most phones without internet don’t do gps

It does do calls, texts and a few classic games without having social media chaos on it.

I agree with the principle but not sure why you wouldn't know where your 7 year old is and who they would need to call?
