Sound familiar?

It starts with one little question...

We know the conversation. Children want their first phone. Parents want to stay connected — and set the boundaries. Here's where Sprout comes in.

A child asks her parents: Please please please can I have my own phone?
Parents worry about social media, the internet and cost
Dad offers an old phone and the child says a phone, not a doorstop
Meet Sprout from FreedomNet
A child enjoys a mini phone with curated apps, camera and games
Parents look after the boundaries using their app
Meet the range

A little more reassurance

Their adventures.
Your boundaries.

FreedomNet is designed to help parents stay involved without taking away all the excitement of a first phone. It's about useful tools, clear choices and growing confidence.

Our planned range excludes pre-installed social media apps and unrestricted internet browsing, while offering age-appropriate ways to call, message, learn and create.

Safeguarding and location features depend on factors such as connectivity, network coverage, device settings and app availability. They are tools for parents, not a guarantee of safety.
✓

Approved contacts

Tools to manage who children can call and message.

✓

Curated apps

Thoughtful choices instead of unrestricted social feeds.

✓

Healthy habits

Support sensible boundaries around use and screen time.

✓

One simple service

Handset, mobile plan and parent app together, through FreedomNet.

Stay in the loop

Good things start with a hello.

Good questions

A little more clarity.

Here are the questions we think parents — and potential ambassadors — will want answered first.

Can I buy a Sprout or Orbit now?

Not yet. FreedomNet is preparing to launch. This website is for learning about the phones and registering interest, not for placing orders or making payments.

What comes in the FreedomNet package?

Your chosen Sprout or Orbit handset, a mobile service with unlimited UK calls and texts plus 1GB of inclusive data each month, and access to the parent safeguarding app. Final launch terms and availability will be confirmed before orders open.

How much will the monthly service cost?

The planned standard rental is £20 per month, with a separate £20 one-off sign-up charge. Families joining through an ambassador's qualifying referral code receive 10% off monthly rental for the first 12 months (£18 per month), returning to the standard rate afterwards. Final terms will be published before launch.

What does a Parent Ambassador receive?

We're seeking 100 ambassadors across the UK. Selected participants will receive a demonstration handset, SIM card and access to the safeguarding app, subject to programme terms. We'll explain any complimentary service period, expectations and eligibility before anyone joins.

How do the referral rewards work?

Each ambassador will have a personal referral code. Our planned reward is £20 for each qualifying new sign-up using that code. The referred family receives 10% off monthly rental for 12 months. Full programme terms will be confirmed before launch.

Are there social media apps or unrestricted internet access?

The planned standard handset configuration excludes pre-installed social media apps and unrestricted internet browsing. It instead includes a curated range of apps and parent-managed controls. We'll publish the final approved feature list before launch.

Does registering interest commit me to anything?

No. Registering interest doesn't create an order or paid subscription. Submitting the form sends your details directly to FreedomNet so we can respond. It does not create an order or paid subscription.

How will you contact potential ambassadors?

Please select “Becoming a Parent Ambassador” on the form and provide your email address and phone number. You can also tell us where you are in the UK. We'll use that information to get back in touch about the opportunity.
