Usa TodayBark is offering a limited-time deal on its kid-friendly phones in partnership with USA TODAY Shopping. Customers can save up to $30 on a Bark phone until Monday, June 29, when using an exclusive promo code. The phones include built-in parental controls for monitoring contacts, approving apps, and managing screen time.
Plans start at $29 per month for talk and text, with an advanced option available for $49 per month.
Bark's payment structure allows customers to pay off the phone over 24 months with zero interest. Once paid off, the monthly bill drops to the cost of the service plan. Customers can pay off the device early or cancel service at any time. If service is canceled after the 60-day return window, the remaining balance on the phone is still due.
Bark phones provide unlimited talk and text along with access to a monitoring app. The service includes content monitoring, screen time management, and location tracking. The phones operate on nationwide 4G LTE and 5G coverage across the U.S. Device insurance is available for an additional $5 per month.
