The Bark Phone – Wi-Fi Data Plan for Young Kids & Teens
Our Wi-Fi data plan option allows texting, calling and real-time location tracking without the phone needing access to Wi-Fi. When connected to Wi-Fi, parents control access to apps, the internet, set screen time limits, and manage contacts. Bark’s parental controls also give parents the ability to monitor phone activity, text messages, and social media for signs of cyberbullying, inappropriate or adult content, and more.
All of our Bark Phone data plans can be easily set to text and call only with no internet access. Parents can easily adjust the customizable controls to set the phone to function without internet. Our parental controls also allow parents to block everything or open up access to specific apps and the internet as kids or teens are ready. These settings can be adjusted by parents remotely through our award-winning parental control dashboard.
👋 This phone plan allows parent-approved internet and app access over Wi-Fi. Looking for a locked-down phone with no access to the internet? Check out our starter plan →
