Sim card for children: the best offers

SIM cards for children - this can make sense: children come into contact with smartphones and tablets earlier and sooner or later need a SIM card for the devices. In this practical tip, we will tell you which tariffs are best suited for children.

SIM card for children: you should pay attention to this

• In principle, children should use a prepaid contract. As a result, the parents not only have cost control, the children also learn to use the money. 10 to 25 euros are usually paid on the prepaid SIM and the credit is then used for flat rates.
• In order to learn how to use the money, you should refrain from automatically charging the mobile phone provider. If the credit is empty, parents and child should top up the credit manually together.
• Tariffs that are specially advertised for children generally have no great advantage. In some cases, the minute prices for making calls are comparatively high. You should therefore prefer to use a normal tariff in the lower price segment.
• You shouldn't go without an Internet flat rate even for children. Without a flat rate, even adults can quickly and unintentionally or unconsciously consume a large amount of mobile data. Without a flat rate, the entire credit is quickly gone.
• Many providers have staggered tariffs that you can change conveniently every month. If you start at a rather low tariff, you can always change it if necessary.
