The Wherifone is the world's smallest GPS cell phone for children, and
it provides affordable peace-of-mind to the modern mobile family.
What makes Wherifone different is that parents control who their
child can call, and they can locate their child with a built-in global
positioning capability — state-of-the-art GPS. You can quickly
and precisely find a Wherifone via Web or phone access, and see its
location on a street map or an aerial photo. You can also see where the
phone has been throughout the day, and program for periodic updates.
While it won't work everywhere, the unique Aided-GPS locator technology
built into the phone lets it be located in lightly obstructed areas,
such as many types of wood frame buildings and vehicles, and under
dense foliage.
The cell phone features of Wherifone are designed to be kid safe
and simple to use. The phone's three top level one-touch dial buttons
let your child reach key numbers quickly, while a 20-number phone book
gives them access to additional important phone numbers. There is also
an "SOS" panic button for emergencies. This makes the Wherifone easy to
use while cutting down on unwanted calling expenses.
Since parents manage who their child calls, and the Wherifone doesn't
permit downloading games or sending text message to friends, you'll
never worry about expensive calls to odd numbers, or huge "surprise"
phone bills.
The Wherifone GPS Locator Phone is a cell phone safety solution that families can rely on.
Ha. They had paper arm bands at the Royal Easter Show - obviously passe now!
Great technology but talk about overkill. I find it a bit sad that we want to control our environment so much.
well it's not too bad... since it's a phone as well (which you can control)
How funny's that?!
Our three year old did just what we thought he would do -
Disappeared. Within 13 minutes of being 'lost' though, my cellphone
rang. My three year old whom we thought didn't understand what we told
him about the funny thing around his neck actually did what we told him.
[It] panned out like this: My little redheaded boy was
SCREAMING for his mom. The 'finder' came to help him, the boy showed
the 'finder' the labelled USB drive, the 'finder' then brought him to
security, security plugged the USB drive in to his computer, saw the
message and called me on my cellphone. When we went to retrieve our boy
the security guard asked for our USB drive with the secret phrase on
it. The USB drives performed just as set up to. It had my cellphone
number, my boys' first name (first name only!) to calm him down and his
favorite treat.
