Our flip phones don’t have GPS tracking built in, and that’s by design. eq telecom is built around a different idea: a talk-and-text flip phone means your child is reachable by call at any time, which for most families does more for real peace of mind than a location dot that can be inaccurate anyway. The check-in replaces the tracker.

That said, your account page does let you see who has been contacting your child, so you’re not flying blind. You just don’t have always-on monitoring, because we don’t think that’s the right tool for building the trust and open communication that actually keeps kids safe as they get older.
