What makes Model R different

It's the only
EmojiKidz that texts.

Model M and Model T have in-app chat with parent-approved contacts. Model R adds something neither has: real carrier SMS texting. The kind your kid's grandparents, the carpool parent, and the after-school coach actually use.

The R Upgrade

Direct SMS — no app required on the other end.

If they have a phone, they can text your kid. If your kid wants to text back, they tap a name on the 1.52" screen and type. No internet. No social. No strangers — only parent-approved numbers.

  • Grandma still texts.

    She's not downloading the parent app. With Model R, your kid can text her back — and you see every message in your dashboard.

  • "Mom, soccer ended early."

    A quick text from the field beats a five-minute video call. Especially when your hands are full.

  • Carpool parent needs an answer.

    Their text lands on your kid's wrist. Your kid taps "yes" — no phone, no laggy app, no missed pickup.

Every safety feature, none of the risk

Designed for parents who said "not yet" to a phone.

Feature

Direct SMS Texting

Your kid can text and receive texts from parent-approved numbers — even people who don't have the app. The babysitter, the carpool parent, the after-school coach, Grandma.
Feature

Real-Time GPS + History

See exactly where your kid is, right now, on a live map — plus a rolling history of where they've been.
Feature

One-Press SOS

Long-press sends you an SMS alert with live location and auto-calls emergency contacts. Designed for safety.
Feature

Geofencing Alerts

Get notified the second they arrive at school, leave the playground, or step outside a zone you drew.
Feature

Zero Internet, Zero Apps, Zero Social

No browser. No YouTube. No TikTok. No app store. The screen-free safety net you've been looking for — without the rabbit hole.

How Model R compares

Not a phone. Not a toy. Exactly what you wanted.

Parent note
Why we built this

A note from a parent.

We're parents. We built Model R because our own kids needed a way to text us back — without giving them a phone they weren't ready for. Every feature exists because a real family asked for it.

Your questions, answered

Everything parents ask before they buy.

What does it actually cost — monthly?
Here's the full math, no surprises at checkout:
  • $96.75 for the watch (one-time, ships free).
  • $11/mo service plan. Required, because the watch runs on 4G LTE.
Why does it need a service plan?
Model R uses 4G LTE — the same cellular network as a phone for GPS tracking, calls, and texts. Like a kids' phone plan, it needs a subsription plan that has a monthly service plan. We keep our plan a flat $11/mo. with no contract or activation fee.
What's the difference between Model R and the other models?
Model R is the only EmojiKidz with direct SMS texting. Models M and T have in-app chat, but only with people who also have the EmojiKidz parent app. Model R lets your kid text Grandma, the carpool parent, the babysitter — anyone you approve, on any phone.
What age is Model R for?
Designed for kids 4 to 12 years old. The 1.52" screen is large enough for typing short texts, and the case is sized for older-kid wrists.
Can my kid call or text anyone they want?
No. Approved contacts only. You add and remove numbers from your parent app. Unknown numbers can't call or text your kid — period.
Is there internet, social media, or games?
None, period. No browser. No YouTube. No TikTok. No app store. The watch does exactly what you want it to do — and nothing else.
What's the 30-day Happy Kid Guarantee?
EmojiKidz provides a 15-day return policy, which means you have 15 days after activating your device to request a return, but no longer than 30 days from the date of purchase.
What if it gets wet or dropped?
Model R is splash & dust resistant for everyday use like rain and playtime. For extra peace of mind, every Model R includes a Lifetime Warranty.
How do I cancel the service plan?
One click in your parent account. No phone call. No retention script. No "are you sure?" maze. We're FTC Click-to-Cancel compliant — you can cancel any time, from anywhere.
Is it HSA/FSA eligible?
Currently no. Model R is a connectivity device, not a medical device — so it isn't HSA/FSA eligible at this time.
