The simpler way to give them their first phone
You choose who they talk to, when the phone sleeps and what it costs. They just get a phone.
First phone worries? Sorted.
Everything you set in the Nest app, in plain English. Here's what parents ask us most.
Who are they talking to?
Approved contacts only
Only people you add can call or text them. Unknown numbers never get through.
Are they asleep, or on their phone?
Bedtime and school hours
The phone goes quiet at bedtime and in lessons. No arguments, it just happens.
Did they get there okay?
Live location
See where they are in the Nest app whenever you need to, and get a nudge when they arrive.
What apps are they using?
Apps you approve
Switch on just the apps they need, on iPhone or Android. New apps wait for your OK.
Why is the bill so high?
No surprise bills
One price every month. Premium numbers and extras stay off unless you say yes.
Everything you'd want for their first phone
Approved contacts, bedtimes, live location and app controls, all set from one simple app. One price each month, no contract, and calls to 999 always work.
