More and more parents nowadays are willing to get their kids mobile phones just in case when there are necessities to use them. However for younger kids, especially those under 12, there are big chances that they will miss use the mobile phones, either intentionally or unintentionally. For example, making long distance calls by pressing the wrong numbers or simply pressing the numbers for fun, is definitely not what their parents want. If you are a parent of a 8-years-old, you most likely want to get the Firely mobile phone.
The Firefly is a cute and small GSM phone designed specifically for young kids, its configuration is completely locked down via PIN. There is no numbers to dial so parents don’t need to worry about their kids making calls to strangers. There is a Mommy button, a Daddy button, and a phone book with up to 20 entries kids can use to call so they can’t complain they can’t call their best friends.
Firefly Mobile is selling the Firefly for $99.99, as well as $25 talk minutes package for the Firefly (nationwide in the United States, anytime minutes, 25 cents per minute, and 90 day expiration). However since the Firefly is a standard GSM device, configuring it to be used with any GSM carrier of your choise is technically possible.
