A kosher phone is a cell phone whose internet browser, app store and unfiltered media are removed or sealed at the system level — not merely switched off — so the user cannot restore them. It keeps calls, and optionally texting and a few approved apps such as Waze. Kosher phones sold in the US cost $110 to $460, depending on the model and the filter level your community calls for — every phone we sell is sealed and configured before it ships. Not sure which one? Take the 60-second phone finder or read the full guide.
There are three kinds. Kosher flip phones — like the TCL Flip 2 — are simple button phones for calls and texts, the most affordable and the easiest to use. Kosher smartphones are filtered touchscreen phones that keep a clean, controlled set of approved apps (Waze, weather, Zmanim) with no browser or app store. Basic phones without internet strip everything back to talk and text only. Every one is carrier-unlocked and works on Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile.
A kosher phone isn't a regular phone with an app added on top. The browser, app store and unfiltered media are removed or sealed at the system level, so they can't be switched back on. From there you choose a filter level — from talk-only (including the strictest Ani Choma configuration) up to talk, text and a short list of approved apps. We set it to your community's standard before the phone ships, so it works the moment it arrives.
Orthodox Jewish families who keep to a community technology standard, parents choosing a safe first phone for a child, seniors who want something simple, yeshiva students, and anyone trying to cut screen time and stay focused. If you're not sure which kosher phone fits, the 60-second finder walks you through it, or you can compare every phone side by side.

Yes. Our kosher phones are carrier-unlocked, so you keep your existing plan and move your SIM card over. A few models are better on some networks than others; see the carrier notes on each product page or our Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile pages.
Only in a filtered form. Filtered (kosher) WhatsApp is offered on the Megalife Zen f1: text messages, voice notes, calls and video calls work, while photos and videos cannot be sent or received. Standard WhatsApp is not offered on any kosher phone.
The four levels are Talk-Only (calls only, including the strictest Ani Choma configuration), Talk & Text, Talk & Text with approved apps (Waze, weather, zmanim, siddur), and filtered touchscreen phones with no browser or app store. The same phone model is often sold at several levels.
The TCL Flip 2 is the beginner kosher flip phone and a common choice for seniors and kids; the Wonder Phone is the popular touchscreen upgrade. For a two-minute recommendation based on your needs, use our phone finder quiz.
Yes. Because our phones are carrier-unlocked, you keep your number and your existing plan — just move your SIM card into the new phone, or we can walk you through it. Nothing changes with your carrier.
A dumb phone is any simple phone without a full smartphone operating system. A kosher phone is specifically configured to a community standard — the browser, app store and unfiltered media are removed or sealed so they cannot be turned back on, then set to your chosen filter level. Every kosher phone is a dumb phone or a filtered smartphone, but not every dumb phone is kosher.
Yes. Every phone is configured to your community's standard before it ships — sealed, set to your filter level, and ready to make calls the moment it arrives. There is no setup and no app store to fight with, and support is a call or text away.
On the app-enabled filter levels, yes — approved apps like Waze, weather, Zmanim and a siddur can be included. Talk-only configurations have none of that. You choose the level and we configure it before the phone ships.
US shipping is free on every phone and typically arrives within a few business days. Your order is packed and fully configured before it leaves, so it works right out of the box.
