• Bark offers smartphones and watches designed for children with built-in parental controls.
• Parents can monitor contacts, manage screen time, and track their child's location.
• For a limited time, customers can save up to $30 on Bark devices and plans with a special promo code.

Ever since we decided to enroll our five-year-old in school, I’ve been torn about getting him a smartphone or watch. It’s a tough spot to be in, especially with 35 states—ours included—now banning smart devices in the classroom. However, Bark’s smartphones and watches are specifically designed to navigate those hurdles while keeping parents in the loop.

Rather than handing your child a device with no guardrails, Bark's kid-friendly technology focuses on safety, communication and built-in parental controls. Parents can monitor contacts, approve apps and receive alerts for potential concerns. The goal is to balance your child's growing independence with your own peace of mind. Best of all, right now you can save up to $30 on your Bark order when you use one of our unique discount codes at checkout!

What smartphone plans are available at Bark?

• $49/month plan + $10/month for the phone

How does Bark's payment plan work for purchasing a device?

The payment structure is pretty straightforward and mirrors what you’d see with major carriers. You pay off the phone over 24 months with zero interest, and once that’s done, your monthly bill drops down to just the cost of the service plan. You aren't locked in, either—you can pay off the device early or cancel your service whenever you like. Just keep in mind that if you cancel after the 60-day return window, you'll still be responsible for the remaining balance on the phone. For a little extra protection, you can also add device insurance for $5 a month.
