Free kids from screens and connect your family. A phone with inbuilt GPS locator designed for kids.
Snowfox Trackerphone combines a phone and a GPS locator. Now kids can learn independence in a safe way and communicate with their parents without the harmful extras of smartphones.
Snowfox Trackerphone allows you to call your child at anytime. There is only one button on the device so kids learn easily to use Snowfox. The child can press the button and the parents will get a call-me notification.
Every Snowfox device has an embedded SIM and local operator subscription inbuilt, so getting started is easy. You simply add the device to your application and you are good to go.
The World is a magical place for children. They need to explore and play to learn the necessary skills for the life ahead. Snowfox brings extra comfort to the first steps of independence.
With Snowfox you are in the know of your child´s whereabouts. Snowfox sends smart notifications to your smartphone from designated places and you can also see the current location on the child on Snowfox smartphone application.
Snowfox Trackerphone is designed and manufactured in Finland.
Every Snowfox Trackerphone includes an embedded SIM which comes with a monthly pay-as-you go plan for €9.90EUR for EU and $9.90USD for US & Canada, which includes unlimited data and voice calls for one Snowfox Trackerphone in your country. Monthly billing for the plan happens handily on the app via credit card. We use Stripe for payments processing.
Snowfox first use experience and backend services has been carefully designed to provide a seamless start into connecting your family. It is the first trackerphone that can be sold in every store.
We have taken the end-to-end quality of the product a focus area for our design & engineering project. To reach the target quality we have been doing user testing & co-creation with prototype devices for more than 6 months. Working directly with customers has given us many insights on how to improve the product, as well as given us the opportunity to polish the device behavior prior to sales start. We are now pretty confident the device will work as intended.
“Our 5 year old daughter approved the device right away. I would recommend the device also for kids that go to school. Using smartphones can be harmful for children and it is not too easy to control the usage as a parent.” – Mother with 5 years old daughter.
“The Places functionality was really good and reliable. We enjoyed the battery life that is really good for a device this small. We are really interested in getting the product for both of our sons once it is available.” – Father with two boys: 7 and 12 years old.

A: Snowfox Trackerphone has an inbuilt SIM card module, and we need to set up the connectivity for each country or region separately. The devices will work in many countries, however, we want to provide our customers with local call-in numbers.
This means we need to take the global rollout step-by-step. The best way to make sure your country gets Snowfox Trackerphone faster is to contribute to our campaign with a supporter perk and share our campaign in social media.
Q: Why does Snowfox Trackerphone require a monthly subscription?
A: Snowfox Trackerphone is no different from phones. There are both data and voice calls available, so we need to use the mobile networks to get the service working. We have put a lot of extra effort to make the taking-into-use and continuous usage effort free for our customers. From pricing point of view we believe the cost to be competitive when compared to getting a smartphone for your child.
Q: How do I make calls with Snowfox?
A: The kid presses the button on Snowfox Trackerphone which sends a notification to all guardians´ smartphones. Any guardian can call back to the child. The child can answer the incoming call with a press of a button. The application notifies the other guardians about the call with a profile timeline event & notification.
