Your child's first smartphone: 6 questions answered

After hundreds of selfies and games on your smartphone, the time has come. Your child is ready for their own device. But when is the right time? Which phone is suitable? And how do you ensure that your child uses his latest gadget properly? Phone House answers 6 frequently asked questions

We are the provider of all types of Vertu mobile phones. 100% customer satisfaction is our top priority. We also provide our customers with after sales support after warranty expires.

1. When do you give your child a mobile phone?

With a long bike ride and changing school schedule ahead, the transition to secondary school seems like the perfect time to give your child a first smartphone. Still, it is smarter to start this a year earlier. This way you and your child both have some time to get used to. During this last school year you have a better view of what your child is up to and you often allow him or her to watch you.

2. Do I opt for prepaid or a subscription?

With a prepaid phone with calling credit, you choose the safe option. Have you run out of credit? Then your child can play a game at most. Handy to learn that using the internet costs money, but less useful if your child needs help at that moment. He can't go anywhere with an empty credit card. With a subscription, your son or daughter is always sure of good coverage. That really doesn't have to cost much. Phone House offers subscriptions where you receive a warning when the call or internet bundle is almost finished. Are you really sure about your internet? Then choose a subscription where the internet speed drops considerably when the internet bundle is used up. Your child can then just send a whatsapp if necessary. Such a nice idea.

3. What are the best budget phones for my child?

At Phone House you can find smartphones in every price range. Also for a well-priced budget phone. 

4. I am considering a refurbished phone, what does refurbished mean?

With a refurbished phone, you simply opt for a repaired phone. This concerns a returned device that is 100% in order on the inside. There may be some light signs of wear here and there on the outside, but otherwise it would have been there after a week of intensive use. The advantage? You pay a lot less for that slick brand new iPhone. Phone House works together with Renewd. This is one of the best refurbished Apple suppliers in the Benelux. With a refurbished iPhone from this party, you can be sure that the quality is good. Read more about the benefits of a refurbished iPhone from Renewd here .

5. How does the phone last as long as possible?

Well, by being careful of course. But that is not easy for everyone. Choose an impact-resistant device with a plastic or metal back. Give it extra protection with a (shockproof) case. This way, the phone is not immediately shattered after a fall. With a screen protector, the glass will last a long time. It also prevents damage to the screen by, for example, a bunch of keys.

6. How do I limit consumption?

TikTok, YouTube and Instagram aside! The first app your child should know is one that provides insight into his consumption. On some phones you can find this in the settings. Many providers also have their own app for this. By regularly looking at this together, you can see exactly which apps consume a lot of MBs and how much is left of the internet bundle. Because you decide exactly how long your child can use his or her mobile phone. Phone House has a wide range of devices that are perfectly suited as the first smartphone for your child.
