The phone that grows with your child
Pinwheel is perfect for parents who want to stay connected with their children without giving them a full-fledged smartphone. The phone lets kids make calls and send texts, but doesn't provide access to the internet, social media or addictive games. Parents can choose from more than 600 apps vetted by child development experts as their child uses the phone responsibly.
Best of all, Pinwheel works on Verizon's reliable network, so parents can rest assured that they'll be able to reach their children whenever they need to.

Much more than parent controls
No more conflict over taking your child's phone to see what they're doing. You can access text messages and call history from the Caregiver Portal on your phone, computer or tablet. The portal gives expert ratings and reviews of more than 600 popular apps so you can make informed choices for your child's phone, and unlock more apps as they mature.
Pinwheel beats a flip phone
Pinwheel is a phone made specifically for kids with so much more than a Verizon flip phone. Your child can use it to play music when you allow an app through the Caregiver Portal. They can photos, and even use it for homework. There's also a GPS locator that lets you keep track of your child's location at all times. With all these features, the Pinwheel is a great choice for any family with growing children.
