Can my child use his phone at school in Luxembourg?

No. Since 22 April 2025, the use of smartphones has been banned in all basic schools and maisons relais in Luxembourg throughout the school day, including breaks. Since 2 June 2025, lycées have applied a compulsory physical separation between pupils and their smartphones during lessons - the precise level of restriction varies according to each school's charter (6 lycées basic model, 27 intermediate model, 5 total ban on 38 lycées).

At what age is it reasonable to give a first phone in Luxembourg?

There is no universal ideal age. According to data from Bee Secure (the Luxembourg government's awareness-raising service), the average age of the first smartphone in Luxembourg is around 11, and 86% of 12-year-olds own one. Okaju (Luxembourg's ombudsman for children and young people) recommends that children should not be given a smartphone before the age of 13. If your child has a real practical need - getting to activities on their own, contacting you during the journey - a secure package with built-in parental control (such as GO) kids Mobile from Tango) is preferable to a frameless smartphone.

Does Tango's Bitdefender Parental Control also work on Wi-Fi?

Yes - and that's one of its major advantages. Unlike traditional operator network filters, which only work on the mobile network, Bitdefender is installed on the child's phone and protects their browsing whatever the connection - Tango mobile network, home Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi at a friend's house, public Wi-Fi. The protection is continuous and independent of the network used.

What is GO)) kids Mobile de Tango and who is it aimed at?

GO)) kids Mobile is the mobile package dedicated to children from Tango Luxembourg. It includes 1,000 voice/SMS units usable in Luxembourg and Europe (EU/EEA + Switzerland + UK), Parental Control by Bitdefender (real-time geolocation, content filtering, screen time management and control of applications on Wi-Fi AND mobile), Net Protect (anti-phishing filter on the Tango network), and a Blocked Package included by default that cannot be deactivated. Available with eSIM, no commitment required. Ideal for 8-13 year-olds.

Can I activate the Blocked Plan on a child's plan with POST in Luxembourg?

Yes - POST offers a Blocked Package option on its POP Mobile packages, which can be activated via the MyPost application or in the POST shop. Once activated, all calls and usage above the included monthly volume are automatically blocked. Check the conditions and current rate for this option directly on post.lu. At Tango GO)) kids Mobile, the Forfait Bloqué is included by default and cannot be deactivated.

What is the GO)) kids Watch connected watch from Tango?

The GO)) kids Watch is a Tango package including the Xplora X6 watch, designed for children aged 6 to 10 who are not yet ready for a smartphone. It allows calls and messages to be sent to a limited number of contacts validated by parents, has precise GPS geolocation with definition of safety zones (alert if the child leaves the perimeter), an SOS button and operates with an integrated SIM. It does not provide access to the internet or to applications, which makes it fundamentally different from a smartphone.

Where can I find resources on the proper use of digital technology for children in Luxembourg?

Bee Secure (bee-secure.lu) is the official reference: practical guides on the first smartphone, managing screen time and social networks, specifically adapted to the Luxembourg context, available in French, Luxembourgish, German and English. Okaju (Ombudsman fir Kanner a Jugendlecher) supports families in matters relating to the digital well-being of minors. The Ministry of Education's Screen-Life-Balance campaign is also available on gouvernement.lu.

How much data is enough for a 10-13 year old in Luxembourg?

Thanks to the ban on smartphones at school, your child will mainly use his or her mobile phone outside school hours (commuting, activities, evenings and weekends). With Wi-Fi at home for intensive use, 2 to 6 GB per month is generally enough for use limited to messaging (WhatsApp), a few photos and light browsing. A 3-5 GB package offers a comfortable margin.
