Company
What is Karri and how does it work?
Think of Karri as a modern walkie talkie for you and your kids – a screen free device for your kid and an easy to use app for you. Your kid can send you a message by simply pushing the button on his or her Karri and you can receive and send messages back via your app.
Who founded Karri, and what inspired its creation?
Karri was founded by Pete Clifford - you can find the the story behind the creation of this innovative device here.
What sets Karri apart from other communication devices for kids?
Unlike Walkie-Talkies, Karri devices operate on 5G and WiFi networks, meaning unrivalled connectivity wherever your child may be. As it is integrated with iOS and Android apps, as a parent you do not need your own device, just the Karri app installed. In comparison to "dumb phones" or smart watches, Karri is completely screen-free and voice driven, meaning less distractions for your kids when out and about.

Karri devices
There is poor connection in my area. Will messaging and tracking still work?
Yes! If 5G is not available our Karri devices use 4G or 3G as backup. In case of tracking everything would still work as the tracking is based on GPS.
How far does the connection reach? Can my child be further away than a few hundred metres?
As long as there is a data connection (no matter whether it is 3G, 4G, 5G, LTE or Wifi) - Karri will work. So your child can be on the other side of the country and you can still chat!
