Best Mobile Products For Kids Under 10

by K._Lynn

The under-18 market is a rapidly expanding market in the wireless
phone industry; parents with kids under the age of 12 have even
jumped on the bandwagon and started providing their kids with
mobile phones. Manufacturers of mobile phones, mobile phone
accessories, and even the top carriers have realized this. They
are all now taking steps to capture their share of this exploding
market.

Carriers & Phones Just For Kids

It might seem almost unreal to many, but carriers and handset
makers are targeting products specifically to kids. Firefly
Mobile, a Florida based company, sells not only phones that are
visually appealing to kids but pay-as-you-go packages for them
that appeal to parents concerned about curbing costs on cellular
bills. A built in feature that allows parents to restrict
incoming and outgoing calls to specified numbers in the phone
book has great appeal to parents concerned also about safety.
Parents can enter up to 20 numbers into the address book and also
place restrictions on adding to the phone book. Restricting who
your child can call, and most importantly who can contact them is
vital to parental peace of mind.

Even the large carriers, like Verizon, made the decision to
capture a portion of the market by releasing the Migo.
Manufactured by LG, the Migo offers a simple 7 button interface
that is very kid-friendly. Modeled towards kids as young as 5,
this phone offers great ease of use. An emergency button is
accompanied by 4 speed dial numbers, making it very easy for a
small child to understand and use.

Again, the ability to restrict incoming and outgoing calls is a
great feature that appeals to all parents.

Another company, TicTalk, launched their own line of kid and
parent friendly mobile phones that offered parents the ability to
restrict incoming and outgoing calls while still allowing kids
the ability to have a cell phone of their own. Using the AT&T
mobile network, this prepaid phone with an unusual design form
might not be as popular with the older kids but can offer great
usability to kids under the age of 10.

One great bonus built into many mobile phones designed
specifically for children is a GPS feature. This safety feature
can offer incredible peace of mind to parents. Provider of mobile
phones and plans, kajeet, offers a secure GPS Phone Locater
website tool. They offer a web-based tool that allows parents to
locate their child via their cell phone; parents have the ability
to set up a schedule that can automatically locate the phone at
specified times of the day. For parents who rely on others to
pick up their schools from school or drop them off at sports
practice it can be a huge relief to know they will receive
automatic reports letting them know if their child made it to
their destination as scheduled.

Disney had tried to capture the market; however, at the end of
2007 they shut down their kid-friendly mobile service (that made
use of the Sprint network) due to their inability to capture a
good profitable share of the market. Disney still continues to
offer various products through the major carriers, however.

Perhaps not always ideal for every child, a mobile phone can be
a very useful tool to help parents keep in touch with their kids.
Phones and plans targeted towards kids offer features and
functionality that can satisfy parental need to securely restrict
incoming and outgoing calls while also allowing the kid to enjoy
small amount of freedom with their mobile phone.
