    On Amazon you either need to buy gift cards or have a working bank account/credit card.
    If your kid works around those road blocks you have more serious problems…
    And btw: Are they really usable?

      They sell these same cheap phones at the store, and yeah, they work fine. I assume you live way out in the suburbs somewhere where it is unheard of that a young teen might end up at a store with dozens of dollars in their pocket, but I’m being realistic. You have to be vigilant about what your kids are up to.

      In many ways, I am more comfortable with my kid going to the store on their own than I am of them using TikTok, given what I know about TikTok.
