M1 KidSafe Service
M1 has just launch a new service to enable parents to restrict in order to protect their children from speaking to strangers. Claimed to be first of its kind in the world, M1 KidSafe allows parents to regulate and monitor their child’s mobile communications. By creating a ’safe list’ of vetted family members and trusted friends, KidSAFE dramatically reduces the risk of strangers contacting your child. In addition, KidSAFE also limits potential spending by your child on non-essential voice, SMS and data usage.
Here are the key features:
- Allows parents to program up to 40 phone numbers that their children can make and receive calls from
- Allows parents to monitor unauthorised calls and SMS sent or received by listing the date and time of the 10 most recently blocked numbers.
- Parents can also choose to be alerted via SMS when the KidSafe SIM card is taken out and used in another mobile phone
- KidSAFE program and features can only be changed with a 6-digit PIN
Personally, I think that this service is a very good offering and would attract a group of parents to switch or apply to use this service. But on the other hand, it can be quite annoying to their kids. I would be annoyed if my parents subscribe that to monitor me! What do you think?
For more information, kindly visit M1’s website.
What if the parents lose their phone and wanted to contact their kid? Is there a password function that allows KidSafe to receive call from stranger numbers?
Anyway, it’s a great service and I hope one day I can use it for my children too. (If, i have kids…. lol)
