  • need advice on phone for highschool kids

moshe1 the kosher phones like fig sunbeam or f30 the adb is completely blocked? No way to side load?

Tag said they will tag the cat s22 and that is a solid phone but very bulky

      About adb I don't know but I think it's not a regular android system the sunbeam

        doctorman They both run android but are both securely blocked, even with ADB.

            Flippy That kind of blocking the ADB could be done by a us to other phones or is that phone specific.
            is there an XDA thread perhaps about it?

              4 months later

              back to this after trying few more filters (google family link) which were good till the kids learn to go around them lol
              actually bought the TCL Flip 2 in the promo and tracfone cancelled and did not honor the deal
              I am between CAT s22 (60$) and TCL Flip 2 (30$)
              does TCL Flip 2 work well on Tmobile after unlocked?

              no real progress on S22 on the site?

                  doctorman actually bought the TCL Flip 2 in the promo and tracfone cancelled and did not honor the deal

                  Can you clarify what you mean by this?

                    tracfone had an ebay deal for 20$ for the tcl flip 2 with 1 year of service 1200min
                    they cancelled orders after 1 to 2 weeks of waiting instead of shipping thema nd raised the price to 70$.

                    anyway Iam going back and forth

                    TCL Flip2 : PRO: smaller, cheaper , easily koshered
                    con: 2mp camera

                    S22: Pro: 2 camera 5mp and 2mp, touch screen, very strong , water resistant
                    con: bigger , android 11 go harder to filter and limit

                      doctorman Why would you not go for the Flip 2? Is there anything that you specifically want from the CAT?

                          contacts sync with google as back up
                          google parental control app to show location of the device
                          touch screen
                          rugged phone
                          all very tempting for s22

                              doctorman So there's no real filter (at least here, I don't know what TAG has) for that phone. I think a simple app uninstallation of the browser, play store, and whatever else you want to get off would suffice, but a factory reset would bring them back. That's usually a deterrent for most people. Why don't you call up TAG and ask if they could filter it? Please respond back here what they say.

                                  FliphoneBochur we mentioned above, tag can filter it
                                  but google parental control family link and removal of apps should do the job
