Frequently asked questions
- What is a sensible first phone plan for a child?
- A metered plan with a hard data cap and unlimited talk and text. The cap matters more than the price: it teaches the limit and prevents a surprise bill from background video.
- Should a child’s line be separate or on the family account?
- On the family account, usually. It is cheaper per line and the account holder keeps control of the data cap and the payment. A separate line makes sense only when the child is old enough to manage it.
- Do these plans include parental controls?
- Controls are usually a device feature rather than a plan feature. Screen time and content filters are set on the phone itself, so the plan only needs to provide the data and the cap.
