Redmond, Washington – December 6, 2022 – Teracube, a U.S.-based sustainable
electronics company, today announced the availability of Thrive: a safe and affordable children’s
smartphone. Developed with both parents and children in mind, Thrive offers the benefits of a
fully-functioning smartphone while providing safety and peace of mind via a built-in parental
monitoring system. Thrive is available to purchase starting today at myteracube.com/thrive.
A Family-Friendly Smartphone That Adapts to Every Stage of a Child's Life
Studies have shown that children spend an average of 4 to 6 hours a day on their phones,
which may lead to anxiety, depression, insomnia, chronic neck pain, poor self-image, body
image issues, and more. With Thrive, Teracube’s goal is to provide parents with simple tools to
limit their child’s screen time activities, thus encouraging them to spend more time focused on
school, outdoor hobbies, and quality time with friends and family.
"As a parent of two, I’ve witnessed the negative impact that overexposure to screen time and
online content can have on children,” said Teracube Founder Sharad Mittal. "At the same time,
there are many practical and safety benefits to children having smartphones, which is why we
developed Thrive. With Thrive, children can enjoy all the benefits of a fully-functioning
smartphone but with the proper parental safeguards in place. Beyond that, Thrive allows
parents to modify and create custom settings to meet their child's evolving needs, making it the
only phone their child will need.”
Built in Parental Monitoring and Safety Features
Teracube Thrive runs Thrive OS, based on the popular Android ecosystem, and allows parents
to manage their child's phone, set time limits, and keep tabs on their daily usage without
invading their privacy. All this is done via the accompanying Teracube Thrive Parent App that
allows parents to view and adjust all settings remotely from their own iPhone or Android phone.
With Thrive, every app needs parent approval before usage. Through the Teracube Thrive
Parent App, parents can choose which apps their children can access, when they can use them,
and for how long. This allows children to enjoy all the benefits a fully-functioning smartphone
has to offer but with the proper parental safeguards in place.
Thrive also offers built-in protection against spam calls and only allows text messages from
pre-approved contacts. Additionally, Thrive arrives with a pre-installed safe internet browser that
is tailor-made for children, offering safe search and filters for blocking inappropriate content.
Like all apps on Thrive, the safe browser must first be approved for use through the Teracube
Thrive Parent App.
Premium Care Protection Designed With Children in Mind
Each Thrive phone comes with a protective phone case and a pre-installed tempered glass
screen protector to defend against drops and falls. Teracube’s unique Premium Care Warranty
also offers coverage in all scenarios, including accidental damage, and provides hassle-free
replacement options through the company’s partnership with 5,000+ UPS stores.

network. Teracube Wireless is powered by T-Mobile and offers contract-free usage plans
starting as low as $14.99/month for unlimited talk and text. Teracube Wireless is a reliable and
