Turn an old phone into your kid’s first connected phone.
Add cellular data to an iPhone or Android you already own. Your kid can use messaging, FaceTime/video calls, maps, location sharing, and approved apps away from Wi-Fi, without adding another full phone line.
Plans from $6.99/month · No contracts · No overages
Data-only, on purpose
NextRange gives your kid cellular internet, not a traditional phone line.
That distinction is intentional. It’s also why NextRange can cost less than adding a traditional line.
Your kid can use
- iMessage
- FaceTime / internet video calling
- Find My / location sharing
- Maps
- Internet-connected apps
NextRange does not include
- Traditional phone number
- SMS line
- Cellular voice calling
How it works
Three steps, no store visit
Check your phone
Confirm the old iPhone or Android supports NextRange and is carrier-unlocked.
Install NextRange
Add the NextRange eSIM. No physical SIM card, no store visit.
Hand it down
Your kid gets cellular connectivity for messaging, maps, location sharing, video calls, and apps, while you control cellular access.
A common starting point
Have an old iPhone sitting in a drawer?
Combine NextRange with Apple Family Sharing and Screen Time to turn it into your child’s first connected phone.
- iMessage
- FaceTime
- Find My
- Screen Time
- Cellular data away from Wi-Fi
Starting at $6.99/month

| Top-up | Standardsingle network | Max Coveragemulti-network |
|---|---|---|
| +1 GB | $2.49 | $2.99 |
| +3 GB | $5.99 | $6.99 |
Top-up data doesn’t expire for 12 months, so it’s still there when you need it. No automatic overage charges: access pauses when available data is used up.
Two layers of control
NextRange controls the data. Apple and Google control the device.
Keeping these separate matters: NextRange manages cellular access, not device-level supervision. Pair it with your platform’s own parental controls for the rest.
NextRange controls cellular access
- Pause/resume data
- School schedules
- Bedtime schedules
- Usage monitoring
- Shared family data
Apple/Google controls the device
- Screen Time
- Family Link
- App restrictions
- Content filtering
- Other device-level parental controls
One data bank, every sibling
Every device on your account shares one data pool.
Siblings don’t need separate plans. Adding a device joins its data to the same shared bank instead of starting its own allowance.
Two kids?
- 2 GB plan$6.99
- Add another device+$3.99
- Additional shared data+1 GB
Total: $10.98/month with 3 GB shared between both kids.
Going somewhere?
Temporarily boost coverage for a trip
Keep Standard Coverage for everyday use, and turn on Max Coverage for a few days when you need it: weekend trips, camping, tournaments, road trips, vacations.
Weekend Max Pass

Week Max Pass

Uses the data you already have. No plan change, and it returns to Standard Coverage automatically when the pass ends.
