Parents Can have Control over Their Childrens Phones
Sprint PCS announced a phone today together with Sanyo that allows parents to have control over their children’s wireless phone usage. Although I am still torn over whether or not children should or need a phone I can see both sides of the coin and this phone may allow those cell phones to be used for what they were intended for, getting in contact with your children.
The phone is a full featured Sprint PCS Vision phone that enables the parent to easily manage whom the child calls and who can call the child. All the parent has to do is input the numbers the child can call and the numbers the child can receive calls from and press a single parent control button.
Parents can also lock Sprint PCS features like vision and others to keep the children from racking up overages and other charges. (Although I’m sure Sprint will find some way to keep those charges racking up.)
This is a great way to keep parents connected with their kids while keeping their phone usage in check.
One problem we can think of that the phone may have is what if the childs parents are calling from a number that isn’t registered and the call is an emergency then we hope the phone has some way that an incoming call can input a password to bypass the parental control. But then again who knows anyones phone number any more.
