Your subscription is like subscribing to a parental control software or premium music streaming: you're paying for the zero-ads software team who design, maintain, and improve the following Pinwheel pillars:

• Caregiver Portal – Settings for managing your child's safelist, modes, days, and apps.
• App Curation – Our team constantly curates and integrates 3rd party apps, from finance to audio to chores.
• Pinwheel OS – The phone itself is a working operating system, including parental overrides.

• New Features – Group texting improvements, text history, and real-time GPS are just a few of the "new features" we've build as a software team. There are oh so many more, all influenced by our beloved customers :)

A Pinwheel phone is an unlocked “Bring Your Own Device.” Order a line and SIM separately (note: you can port your number from Gabb to anywhere).
