Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / March 2008Mobile phone for kids - any specific typeor can you lock one down?
Hi I want to give my daughter a mobile for when we go on holiday or she is with school trips as a safety net. Anyway - I only want the phone to be able to dial say numbers in the address book so I can then restrict who she calls. Any advice if there is a sepcific mobile phone that will do this, whether deisgned for children or just having the features? Thanks Scott > I want to give my daughter a mobile Cue a long debate about parental duties etc etc ;-)  SignatureJ B > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Any advice if there is a sepcific mobile phone that will do this, > whether deisgned for children or just having the features? It's a standard feature on most mobile phones I've used. I think it is called a fixed dialling list. Got one of these for the kids: http://shop.carphonewarehouse.com/pay-as-you-go/sony-ericsson/j110i-black/?PURL= carphone.at/hotukdeals&P36=7ME7NF&CID=0&CTY=8 £12.95 phone with £10.00 Credit >> Hi >> [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > It's a standard feature on most mobile phones I've used.

What you describe is called "fixed dialling". All phones support this, however it's a network-dependent feature and not all UK networks support this "out-of-the-box". Orange do for example, but with Vodafone it used to be the case that a special "fixed-dialling" SIM card was required. Be careful when you buy.

[quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > Regards > Jon I've only seen fixed dialling available on sim cards from orange, t- mobile and 3 so you'd need to pick one of those networks. Then under "security settings" somewhere there should be the option to switch the fixed dialling on. |
