Bark Phone vs AT&T Phones for Kids & Teens: Which Is the Best Option?
Created in collaboration with parents, the new Bark Phone combines Bark’s industry-leading parental control software with the sleek, stylish design of a Samsung A13. AT&T does not offer phones specifically made for kids but does offer parents the ability to purchase the AT&T Secure Family app. The Bark Phone’s parental controls are built in at no additional cost.

Why the Bark Phone is Better than
AT&T's Kid-Friendly Phones & Plans
Out-of-the-box parental controls
Completely customize phone activity with no extra apps required. Parents have peace of mind that the controls cannot be removed or changed.
Get alerts for concerning content
Bark’s advanced monitoring technology alerts parents to digital dangers in their child’s texts, emails, and social media accounts. This is not offered with most parental control apps or out-of-the-box kids phone options.
No contract required
The Bark Phone is available on a month-to-month basis with the phone plan included. AT&T offers phone purchases with month-to-month family plans. The phone will not have data without a plan through AT&T or another provider.
Approve apps & contacts
Choose what apps are off-limits to your kids and approve new phone contacts. Bark lets you manage everything your child can access on their phone. For most phone carriers, a third party app is required and may not include these features.
Rest assured your kid can’t delete texts
With the Bark Phone, there’s no way that kids can erase messages they send or receive. AT&T does not currently offer text message monitoring.
Remotely lock the phone & set time limits
The Bark Phone and AT&T phones with the Secure Family App allow parents to set time limits for internet access. With Bark, parents can also set time limits for individual apps or easily configure the phone to text and call only with no internet access.
