The Bark Phone – Wi-Fi Data Plan for Young Kids & Teens
Our Wi-Fi data plan option allows texting, calling and real-time gps 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 content, and more.
All of the Bark Phone data plans can be easily set to text and call only to be used as a non-smartphone or basic flip phone with no internet access. Our parental controls are customizable to 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 easily by parents remotely through our award-winning parental control dashboard.
đ 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 â

Bark Phone FAQs
The Bark Phone for kids is a Samsung A series. We purposely designed it so that it wouldnât be recognizable as a âkiddieâ phone. No one will know itâs a kid phone unless you tell them. Barkâs powerful parental controls are all internal â thereâs no Bark branding, logos, or other tell-tales that would broadcast it as a kidâs phone.Â
It comes with all the standard features of a Samsung phone.
Regardless of whether a parent has an iPhone or an Android, they will be able to manage the Bark Phone with no issues, so donât worry about compatibility problems.
The Bark Phone for kids is the result of years of experience in the online safety industry and real-life conversations with the people whose opinion counts the most: families raising kids with phones in the digital age.
Weâve created a safe phone for kids that integrates Barkâs software seamlessly, resulting in a comprehensive and robust parental control experience.
It also comes with exclusive features that werenât possible with just a downloadable app. The Bark Phone gives parents unprecedented oversight of their childâs online experience, including GPS-powered location tracking, call blocking, contact management, and automatic monitoring for texts and many apps and social media platforms.
Its native controls are tamper-proof, providing parents with peace of mind that the rules they set stay in place. Bark can't be deleted, even if you factory reset it.
The best part of the Bark Phone? It grows with your child as they mature. For younger kids, you can keep the phone locked down with as little functionality as a flip phone. As they get older, you can add in additional freedoms, functionality, and apps â or scale back anytime boundaries are needed.
Every Bark Phone comes with:
- Unlimited talk and text
- Bark Premium subscription for the entire family
- USB-C charging cord
- A data plan that fits your familyâs needs (non-starter plans only)
- Quick start guide for easy setup
If you already have a Bark Premium subscription, thatâs okay! We will adjust your plan and prorate the remaining amount left and apply it to your Bark Phone subscription.
The Bark Phone is free! No hefty deposit or long contract is required, and after 90 days, the phone is yours to keep. Weâre confident your family will love the Bark Phone, but if you need to cancel your subscription, just return your non-damaged phone to us and youâre all set.
Our monthly subscription plans range from $29/month to $89/month.
Plans include the device, our built-in parental controls, unlimited talk & text, data (if you need it), and a Bark Premium subscription for the entire family.

Right now, the Bark Phone for kids is only available for families located in the U.S.
You know your child best, which is why the Bark Phone gives you full control over the apps they can access. You can block every app that a Samsung A series could download, or you can allow them all â or somewhere in between, which is where most families will fall.
The Bark Phone is powered by the award-winning technology that made the Bark app a trusted name for families across the world. Itâs the result of years of experience understanding what families need and want when it comes to having a safe phone for kids.
Secondly, we made it completely customizable, because every family â and kid â is different. For younger kids, you can make the Bark Phone work essentially like a non-smartphone. As they get older and become ready for more responsibility, you can add in functionality and access to web browsing, apps, social media, and more.
Yes! The Bark Phone is updated regularly and automatically to keep up with changes in technology and when we add new features â which happens frequently! Weâre constantly in touch with actual Bark Phone parents and implement feedback that families would like to see.
If you cancel before 3 months, youâll need to ship the Bark Phone back to us.
If you cancel after 3 months, the phone is yours to keep, but:
