ParentShield

ParentShield is a new type of cell phone service that helps parents and guardians keep kids and other fragile people safe from the dangers that come with having their own phone. Their service lets parents and guardians listen in on all phone calls, read all SMS texts, and control their kids’ internet access through a web-based portal. For the child or fragile person, this service works the same way as a normal SIM card, but it increases their safety in important ways.

It is assumed that the end user does not have the power to change settings, billing profiles, or identify in any way. It is the parent’s phone that rings when the amount is low. Phones never get PIN numbers, and people who use them can’t place orders or add money. This is way too easy to do with a normal cell phone plan!

Also, ParentShield will never put any ads or offer apps on your child’s phone. There are phone companies that do this and will offer adult services like gaming and drinking on the phone. ParentShield data links don’t show ads to people who are using their phones.
