• Are there long-term contracts?

    No. All eq telecom plans are month-to-month. Change or cancel anytime, no penalties, no early termination fees. We believe in flexibility and giving families the room to adjust as their kids grow.

  • How do I know which step is right for my child?

    It depends on your child's age, maturity, and your family's pace. Most families start at Step 1 (Talk & Text) and move forward when their child is ready. Some highlights:

    • Step 1: Talk & Text - A simple flip phone with calling and texting. The cleanest first start.
    • Step 2: Wi-Fi Flip - Same simplicity, with Wi-Fi at home for messaging and basic browsing.
    • Step 3: Slow Data - Maps and messages. No feeds, no social, no apps.
    • Step 4: Smartphone with Slow Data - A smartphone with the same data discipline.
    • Step 5: Full Access - Earned over time, when they're truly ready.

    If you're not sure where to start, reach out to our team during business hours. We can walk you through it.

  • Can I have different types of plans for different family members on one account?

    Yes! Within a single eq account, you can have multiple plan types for family members. For example, one child can be on a Junior Starter (Talk & Text) plan while another is on a Junior Data plan. We designed our system to be flexible so everyone can have the plan that fits their needs under one bill.

  • How does the automatic speed adjustment work on the kids’ Junior Data plan?

    It's designed to be a gentle guide that starts with slow speeds (slower web browsing while too slow for games or video).The plan includes two speed levels like 'Junior Safety' and 'Junior Basic'.

    With excessive data use, the speed automatically shifts to Junior Basic, a way to naturally stop online use without cutting data completely. This also ensures essential functions like GPS and calls remain active.

  • What can my child do at Junior ‘Safety’ vs. ‘Unplug’ Speeds?
    • Junior Safety: generally allows for smooth basic browsing, but with speeds too slow for any effective streaming or gaming, making them a lot less appealing.
    • Junior Unplug: significantly reduces web access, but is designed so parents always have the data they need to track the phones.
  • How do speed adjustments work for plans for adults? Can I customize the levels?

    Adult plans operate similarly, shifting speeds based on usage. You can also customize the thresholds through the plan you select, to fit your goals.

    And of course, important things like calls, texts, and location tracking always remain active, even at slower speeds.

  • Why use speed adjustments instead of just cutting off data?

    We believe gentle slowdowns are more supportive than a hard cutoff. With speed management, kids keep their safety features (like location tracking), and families avoid surprise overage fees.

    It also serves as a real-time reminder to be mindful of screen time without completely shutting off service. In short, slowing down data a bit helps everyone stay aware and connected in a caring way.

  • Can I bundle my plan with my child’s?

    Yes! eq makes it easy to manage both your plan and your child’s on one account. You can bundle your child’s plan with yours, giving you a single bill and one dashboard to track usage and settings for the whole family.

  • Will my child still be able to contact me if their data is slowed?

    Yes, absolutely. Even on the slowest settings, essential services like calling, texting and GPS tracking remain fully available. Your child can still reach you, so you both stay connected.

    The speed adjustment only inhibits heavy data activities (like video or social feeds), so communication isn’t blocked. You get peace of mind knowing they can call or text anytime, even as the plan encourages balanced tech use.

  • What is automatic speed management and why is it on plans for adults?

    Automatic speed management is a built-in feature designed to make you more aware of your data use and encourage mindful tech habits. On our plans for adults, you pick a usage goal and the plan automatically shifts speeds as you use data.

    Essential tasks like calls, texts, email and basic browsing always stay available.

    Before any slowdown, you’ll get a text alert so you’re not surprised. This way, speed management gently nudges you towards balance instead of cutting you off.
