Gabb Phone 4 Pro — is the safe phone built entirely for teens. For example, if your teen wants an app (and by the way, the Gabb platform provides access to hundreds) the app MUST be approved by a parent before it can be downloaded. This phone also comes with first-of-its-kind safe messaging that automatically blocks nudity or high-risk content and alerts parents. One more cool thing about this phone: it offers access to “Gabb Music”—the largest safe music library in the world. It has music from all genres and from the original artists, so teens can stream the hits they love without ANY inappropriate language or content. One thing you WON’T find on this phone is social media apps or internet browser apps. This helps parents to protect their teens from predators, bullying and the negative impacts and addictive nature of spending too much time in front of screens. The price for Gabb Phone 4 Pro is $199.99 plus a monthly fee for cell service (with options starting at $24.99 per month.) For more info on Gabb Phone 4 PRO, visit gabb.com.
