How it works

Four steps. No store visit.

  1. 1Pick your apps

    Start from a plan or build your own. The phone preview updates as you choose.

  2. 2See what changes

    We tell you what stops working β€” attachments, music, links β€” before you pay a cent.

  3. 3Plug in & pay

    Connect your phone to a computer with a USB cable. Checkout is secure, by Stripe.

  4. 4Done

    Your home screen shows only your apps, protected by FrumFone.

What keeps it kosher

Locked down properly β€” and honestly.

🌐

Family web filter

Every app's internet goes through a family filter that blocks adult sites and forces SafeSearch. There's no browser to open links.

πŸ›‘οΈ

Reset protection

Erase the phone from its buttons and it can only be set up again by us. It never turns back into an unfiltered phone.

🚫

No new apps

App installs, app stores, unknown files and extra users are all blocked.

πŸ”

Self-checking

The phone checks its own protection every few hours and at every restart, and repairs anything that changed.

πŸ”‘

Service code

Only FrumFone holds your phone's service code, so changes go through us β€” never through a setting someone found online.

↩️

Nothing deleted

Hidden apps, photos and contacts stay on the phone. We can restore anything, or release the phone completely.

What we won't promise

No phone restriction is perfect against experts or hardware tampering, and apps you allow can still show content from inside themselves β€” like pictures in an email. That's why we show you every side effect before you choose.

What you need

Probably already on your desk.

πŸ“±An Android phone

Android 5 or newer, flip phones included. iPhones aren't supported yet.

πŸ’»A computer with Chrome or Edge

Windows, Mac, Linux or Chromebook.

πŸ”ŒA USB cable

The one you charge with usually works, as long as it carries data.

⏱️Two minutes on the phone

A couple of quick settings, which we walk you through step by step.

Questions

Good to know.

Are my apps deleted?

No. Apps you don't choose are hidden, together with their notifications. Your photos, contacts and messages stay on the phone, and we can bring any app back later.

Can I change my choices later?

Of course. Email us at support@frumfone.com and we’ll update your phone with its service code. The code stays with us β€” that’s exactly what keeps the phone protected.

What about emergencies?

Emergency calling always works. If you choose a phone without the Phone app, emergency calls are made from the lock screen’s Emergency call button, which appears once the phone has a screen lock.

Will WhatsApp keep working?

Yes, if you choose it. Since new installs are locked, WhatsApp doesn’t update by itself β€” it needs a quick update every few months, which we take care of in a minute.

Is the internet filtered?

On Android 10 and newer, everything goes through a family filter that blocks adult sites and forces SafeSearch. Older phones can't be filtered, so we recommend no internet apps on them.

Can someone undo it?

Settings that could undo the protection are locked β€” factory reset from Settings, safe mode, computer access. A full erase using the phone's buttons is physically possible on any Android phone, but with reset protection the erased phone can only be set up again by us. (Reset protection needs Google Play services, which most Android phones have.)

How do I get my phone ready?

It takes about two minutes, and every step can be undone.

  1. In Settings β†’ About phone, tap Build number seven times.
  2. In Settings β†’ System β†’ Developer options, turn on USB debugging.
  3. Remove any accounts in Settings β†’ Passwords & accounts β€” they can go back on afterwards.
  4. Plug the phone in, click Connect, and tap Allow on the phone.
