Description:
This cell phone is designed for a child. It’s made to fit their small hands, with only 5 keys for them to use that can be programmed by you with the numbers you want your child to be able to call. It also comes with no contract, just prepaid time.
Review:
With the come and go world my family lives in I wanted my children to have a way to get hold of me if necessary. I had heard some of the horror stories from my friends of their children and cell phones. I didn’t think I wanted all that but still I knew I would feel more comfortable if my children could reach me any time from anywhere.
I found this neat little phone. It’s made just for children. The way it’s designed makes it easy for children to handle. It’s bright and colorful and has lots of neat sounds that any child will like.
The best part is that I program in the numbers I want my child to be able to call. They are pin protected so they can’t change them, erase them or add numbers to it. It’s also prepaid. No contracts to tie us down or take all our hard earned money.
It fits right in my child’s backpack making it much easier for them to carry. It also helps with the “I forgot where I put it” syndrome we seem to have at our house.
It’s easy to set up and get going and it’s very easy for my children to understand and use. I feel much better knowing that they are within just a phone call if they need me or if I need them.
