iPhone Filtering for Philadelphia's Frum Community

Philadelphia's frum community spans two distinct areas: the established Orthodox neighborhoods of Northeast Philadelphia — particularly along Bustleton Avenue and Castor Avenue — and the affluent Main Line communities of Lower Merion, Bala Cynwyd, and Wynnewood. Together they form one of the larger frum populations on the East Coast outside of New York and New Jersey.

KolBo Filter serves Philadelphia with both remote setup ($29) and house calls ($99) — Philadelphia is close enough to our Brooklyn base that we can drive down for in-person service when families prefer it.

Two Communities, One Solution

Northeast Philly and the Main Line have different demographics but the same technology challenge. Northeast Philly families tend to be more yeshivish, with larger families and tighter budgets. The Main Line community skews more modern Orthodox, often with dual-income professional households. Both need permanent, reliable filtering that cannot be bypassed.

KolBo Filter's custom configuration handles both profiles. A Lower Merion attorney keeps legal research tools and secure communication apps. A Northeast Philly father of eight needs the Family Plan to cover multiple devices affordably. A Bala Cynwyd teenager getting a first phone gets a device locked down with VPN blocking and supervised mode — still functional for school and communication, permanently protected from everything else.

Remote or In-Person — Your Choice

Most Philadelphia families choose remote setup for convenience — $29, about 30 minutes via screen share. But because Philly is within driving range of Brooklyn, we also offer house calls at $99. This is ideal for families filtering multiple devices at once or for anyone who prefers a technician handling the phone in person.

Call (718) 971-4311 or WhatsApp to schedule either option.

Full Platform Included

Every subscription includes the KolBo app — 695,000 shiurim, Zmanim for your Philadelphia location, Tefila Companion, Digital Library, and 15 tools. The Whole House plan at $59.99/month covers up to 8 devices plus router filtering — ideal for the larger Northeast Philly households. Nearby Teaneck families are also within our house call range.
