Buying my daughter and iPhone for Xmas in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

thanks, I wasn't aware of this. Apple refurbs on their website are pricey. I don't want to drop $500 on a phone and have her lose it, but.. perhaps the risk is worth the trade off?

Buying my daughter and iPhone for Xmas (alien.top)
 

Hey - We are going to take the plunge and get my daughter an iphone for xmas. I don't want to buy her a brand new one in fear she will lose it since it is her first one. I was thinking a refurbished one off Amazon. I've never bought a "used" phone before, and my understanding is I can buy any phone I want and then take it to any carrier I want and have them set it up with a sim card and a cell plan.

Is this correct? I know this is a dumb question.. but I've turned into a total luddite with technology...

Any advice on buying a used iphone would be welcomed. Thanks in advance!

Monitoring child's iPhone from an iPad (alien.top)
 

Hey all - we are going to take the plunge and get our daughter an iPhone for xmas. I am an android user and would rather not take the plunge and switch, but need to make sure we can properly monitor her screen time and take advantage of some of the parental controls.

So, my question is, can we set the screen time and parental controls on her iphone using my ipad? Or does it make sense for me to give up my android which I would rather not do. I have an iPad I use to set screen time and parental controls on both my daughters ipads, but wondering if the same functionality works between an iPad and an iPhone.

I believe you can, but I would really prefer to hear this from someone who has actually experienced it. I would rather not get my daughter a phone at all.. but.. she is probably the last of her friends to get one and I guess I can't ignore the inevitable any longer.

Thanks in advance.
