14 DAY TRIAL // mTrack, the company behind KidsOK, has launched what it is perhaps the most accurate child location device in UK. I-Kids is a low radiation mobile phone for pre-teens that enables parents to locate their children at any time. The phone is designed with limited call capabilities and four numbered buttons.
The handset communicates with the Global Positioning System (GPS) network of satellites that orbit the earth to accurately pinpoint the handset and its user's location. The i-Kids service enables parents to keep track of their child in three ways. First, you can access a map, online or on your mobile, showing the tracked location of your child's i-Kids phone which is located by satellites every 10 minutes. You can also be alerted via text message on your mobile if your child's i-Kids phone travels outside a specified area which you set on a virtual map. Finally, you can locate your child at any time by sending a 'ping' request from your mobile or online. Within 60 seconds you should receive a map and text description of your child's current or last known location provided by the i-Kids phone.
The phone is available in a rainbow of colors and can be bought for about US$88 in the U.K.
