Gps Tracking Phones For Kids
Advice on GPS enabled phones/plans for “kid tracking” purposes?
My 12 year old son has mild autism, and I’d feel better with one of those in his backpack when he’s off to school.
Things happen, and I like the idea of him being able to contact me when it does…and for me and his mom to know where he is if something goes wrong.
He would be aware that his phone had this feature, and why.
Any advice on brands or plans?
Verizon Wireless has strongly taken this into concideration. Many of their phones are child and parent chaperone capable. Chaperone is the ability to track your child. Also, online, with chaperone, you can set up a designated area (an area in which your child is supposed to be). If they leave that area, verizon wireless will send you a txt message letting you know they have left their allowed area and it will tell you their current location. This service is available on all contract plans starting at 59.99 or higher (this is a family plan which is required for chaperone. This plan includes 450 minutes. You must add the chaperone package which varies. Their is a small catch. You must have two phones (one for you, and one for your child). They must be active on the same family plan and have chaperone added to the account. The phone that you purchase for you must have the chaperone parent ability. The phone for your son must have the chaperone child ability. Their are many phones with both of these abilities. The vast majoriaty of them are LG, however. If you visit a verizon wireless store, a sales rep will be glad to assist you.
I strongly recommend verizon wireless, however, sprint (the ONLY other carrier with this ability has plans similar starting at 199.99 a month for 500 minutes. Also, verizon chaperone only works in a verizon coverage area. Their coverage is among the best and i’m sure you’ll like it, plus, if you don’t you have thirty days to change your mind.
