Great customer service
I have 2 young children and over the years have come to expect issues when setting up devices on their behalf. Pinwheel has been great to deal with and any issues I have had, their customer service team have dealt with really quickly.

Christmas Day Set Up
On Christmas Day, I had a few questions while setting up the Pinwheel phone. The representative, Chen, was extremely helpful and thorough in answering my questions. Chen was patient while walking me through each step and made sure everything worked to my satisfaction before moving on to the next issue.

It really is a wonderful service.
My daughter is 9, 8 when I got her the phone. It seems like such a young age to give a child a phone but her mom and I are divorced and she needs a safe way that she can communicate with either of us, so I thought it necessary. But I also knew that I didn't want her to have access to things that were beyond her age and I didn't want her to have unbridled freedom in case something goes wrong. Either with her mom, or a friend, or anything in between. The Pinwheel phone and service gives me that - my daughter has the freedom through Google play to request apps, but I have authority to provide and allow what I think is safe for her age. If I don't allow it, the phone won't let her use it. I can also determine times that are okay for her to use her phone while still allowing her to communicate with me, her mom, or any other caregiver during that time for her own safety. I can track her location, or the location of the phone if needed. She can't add any new people and no stranger can message or call her without being reviewed by me first. AND, there's no internet browser or social media allowed on the phone by automatic settings. Pinwheel provided me with a safe, affordable way to give my daughter freedom while still being able to protect her if needed and that's a beautiful thing and my daughter feels safe knowing that I won't go through her messages unless there's some possible danger or harm and she feels safe knowing that she can contact me or her mom in any situation. It really is a wonderful service.
