Kurio introduced a new Smart Phone that is designed for kids. Earlier
the company hinted about this Android tablet for kid’s way back in 2012
and now Kurio calls it as the safest smart phone for kids. This new Smart phone will allow the parents to control the way it should be used with all the necessary notifications.
This Smart Phone is designed in a way that the parents can control the number of minutes their child uses to make a phone call and also block the number of text messages sent. Parents can also block certain contacts from adding in to the phone and can set up five names on the contact list as primary contacts that cannot be removed by the child.
The GPS on the Smart Phone reports back the location of the child to their parents every 15, 30 or 60 minutes, a geo fence can also be set up that will send an alert to the parents when the child leaves or enters a certain restricted area.
Kids want cell phones, but with access to this technology comes
great responsibility. Kurio Phone includes additional parental controls
to address safety concerns that come along with giving a child a mobile
device, but they also promote the child’s independence and help foster
an open parent-child dialogue. In fact, on the smartphone, the child
will be able to monitor his or her own phone usage and see the
parameters that mom and dad have set. -Pieter van den Bosch, strategic director, KD Group
