Before you buy
Questions, answered.
Are there any hidden fees?
No. You pay for the device and a monthly plan: $4.99 (GPS Only) or $6.99 (GPS + Talk), plus tax. No activation fees, no surprise charges.
Do I need a separate cellular contract?
No. BoT Talk has a built-in SIM card. You do not need a contract with any mobile carrier, and there are no activation fees.
How is BoT Talk different from giving my child a phone?
BoT Talk is designed only for communication and location sharing. There are no apps, games, social media, or internet browsing, just the connection you need, without the distractions you don't.
Can strangers contact my child?
No. Only you, the account owner, can approve who has access to BoT Talk. Your child can only exchange messages with people you've invited and approved.
How long does the battery last?
Battery life depends on your plan and usage. GPS Only plan: about 1 month. GPS + Talk plan: about 1 week. Like your smartphone, battery drains faster in areas with weak signal or with heavy use. The app notifies you when it's time to charge.
Is BoT Talk waterproof?
BoT Talk is splash-proof and dustproof (IP55). It can handle rain and splashes, but should not be submerged in water.
Can I return BoT Talk if it's not the right fit for my family?
Yes. Every BoT Talk comes with a 30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee. If BoT Talk isn't working for your family, contact us within 30 days of activating your plan and we'll refund your device and your first month's subscription. No questions asked.
Is BoT Talk easy to set up?
Yes. The app guides you through each step, and the entire process takes about 5 minutes.
