MIAMI BEACH, Fla. – With the holidays quickly approaching, Firefly Mobile, the first pay-as-you-go service provider to design safe, easy-to-use mobile phones for kids, sheds light on the reasons parents should look to Firefly when fulfilling their child’s wish list this year—particularly since a cell phone is likely to be at the top of that list.
The top reason parents will love Firefly Mobile is because it keeps them in control. Robust parental control features come standard on all Firefly phones, allowing parents to limit calls and, with the flyPhone, texts to only those numbers they have pre-programmed into the phone. This, coupled with age-appropriate features, lets parents protect their child from unsolicited, unwanted contact.
“Cell phones designed for adults don’t do an adequate job of protecting children and tweens from the dangers that come with unsupervised cell phone use. Because our phones don’t allow kids to access the Internet, parents can rest easy knowing their children won’t be exposed to inappropriate content or racking up costly charges,” said Kyle Cox, COO, Firefly Mobile ( www.fireflymobile.com).
Parents also have control over the monthly bill, thanks to the Firefly network’s affordable monthly and flexible pay-as-you-go plans. When more minutes are needed, they can be added by simply logging onto the Firefly website, fireflymobile.com. Best of all, there are no long-term contracts or activation fees.
Firefly phones are designed to keep kids just as happy as their parents. The glowPhone, for ages 5-8, features built-in games, full color screen, customizable ringtones and wallpapers and five-way navigation key to scroll through the phonebook or play games.
The flyPhone, for ages 9-12, features an electro-luminescent morphing keypad that can switch between a traditional keypad and game controller, as well as a built-in camera and MP3 player. The flyPhone lets tweens text and chat, and includes built-in and customizable games, ringtones, wallpapers and sample music and videos.
“Children will be glad to see a phone coming their way this holiday season, and parents will be glad that they chose one with the appropriate features and cost-conscious plans,” said Cox.
Firefly phones are available online at Fireflymobile.com and at U.S. retailers including Wal-Mart, Walmart.com, Target.com, BarnesandNoble.com, as well as regional mobile phone operators.
