ORANGE GOES LIVE ON CHILDLOCATE
A REVOLUTIONARY security system for Parents to locate the whereabouts of their Children via their Mobile Phones known as ChildLocate is now fully operational in the United Kingdom.
It is natural for any parent to care at all times about their children as nature and nurture set in to the roles of parenthood. Sadly, these days we need to be extra vigilant and often we need reassurance that our children are safe & sound.
A service developed in Iceland in 2001 and serving many thousands of families in Finland is now fully functional in the UK. Initial trials with 3 out of the 4 UK Mobile Operators has been extended and the ChildLocate service is fully operational across Vodafone, T-Mobile, 02 and now Orange.
This secure service is simple to use, fast and discreet and is obtained instantly by accessing a webpage which shows the mobiles location on a map. It can also be accessed by using a mobile phone, which indicates the area by text. The service also benefits users in the UK as there are no upgrades required and there is no new hardware to buy.
With ChildLocate, parents can request confirmation of the location of their teenage children without the need of making embarrassing phone calls to the teenager’s mobile phone.
“Research shows that parents are working longer hours and therefore are forced to spend more time away from home. This means a large number of children as young as 7 are travelling alone or with friends to and from school. ChildLocate gives parents the reassurance as to the whereabouts of their children by enabling them to keep track of them from their working environment”
says Jon Magnusson, Managing Director of ChildLocate.
If the worst happens minutes are often critical and knowing the location of our kid’s mobiles can direct family or emergency services to a particular place quickly.
ChildLocate is an inexpensive service which enables an entire family to benefit from one monthly subscription fee of £9.99. The monthly fee includes 10 free location requests and 10 free text messages.
Stringent security and privacy features are built into the system to prevent unauthorised persons from using it. Parents and legal guardians are only allowed to locate their own children with ChildLocate and the system verifies the identity of it's customers to avoid abuse. The child is in full control of its privacy and is notified on a regular basis as to who has permission to locate it.
