OtherPhone ships pre-installed with SafetyMode, and includes three months of SafetyMode Plus free. After that, Plus is £5.99 a month — and entirely optional. Every core safety feature — content filtering, app scheduling and location tracking — is free for as long as you use SafetyMode, whether or not you ever subscribe to Plus.
What's Included in SafetyMode Plus
Remote Management Features:
- Adjust SafetyMode configurations and content filter settings remotely
- Add or remove approved apps without accessing the physical device
- View your child's location from your own phone via the parent dashboard, updated every 15 minutes — not real-time, by design, so it reassures without feeling like constant surveillance
We recommend SafetyMode Plus if you want the flexibility to manage your child's phone remotely — useful for parents who need to make quick adjustments without picking up their child's device. It's a convenience upgrade, not a requirement.
In short: SafetyMode Plus is £5.99/month, free for your first 3 months with OtherPhone. Every core safety feature — filtering, scheduling and location tracking — stays free, indefinitely, with or without Plus.
