In the unlikely event that no-one answers, the call is diverted to the i-Kids service desk where a trained operator can offer assistance.Parents can govern safe everyday communications for younger children since i-Kids only allows children to call the four pre-programmed speed dial numbers. While children can receive text messages and calls from parents on their i-Kids device, they are not able to send text messages or engage in any communication that isn't authorised by the primary guardian.<img src="http://www.biosmagazine.co.uk/images/content/prodpics/200612/ikids_1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Using the unique GPS functionality of the i-Kids, parents can pin-point the location of their child to within 10 to 20 metres in seconds, by carrying out a real time trace using their own mobile phone or PC. The i-Kids GPS features, which work even when the device is switched off, will also alert parents by text message when their child moves out of pre-set safety zones, such as the local playground or their bus journey to school. When a child pushes the red button the device calls the four programmed speed dial numbers in sequence to alert them of the emergency. If a number is unanswered or on voicemail, i-Kids is sophisticated enough to move onto the next number. If none of the four numbers are available then the call gets answered by the i-Kids Help Desk call centre Calls using the device are limited to four speed dial numbers authorised and set up by the parent. i-Kids can receive incoming calls but the device can only receive texts, not compose them. The GPS functionality of i-Kids gives parents the location of their child in 60 to 90 seconds to within 10 to 20 metres.The i-Kids service allows parents to set up three adjustable safety zones. Once the child moves outside the parameters set, the parent (or guardian) will receive a text message on their mobile informing them of the child's movements. As the device is designed with children in mind, i-Kids is hard wearing and easy to use. Set up pages are user friendly and secured by passwords to ensure that children cannot re-programme the settingsThe i-Kids device is available to buy directly from <a href="http://www.mobiles2go.com" target="_blank">www.mobiles2go.com</a> now, with stock available for delivery before Christmas. It is priced at £99.99, with a monthly tariff of £15.75 on an 18-month contract. The i-Kids device will be available in major retail outlets throughout the UK from January 2007.Commenting on the launch, Mark Gullickson, CEO of mobiles2go said: "Everyday we read about the increasing number of threats to child safety and this is fuelling the already prevalent fears of parents everywhere. There is a fine balance between keeping your child safe while gradually introducing the freedom and responsibility they need to enjoy a healthy and happy childhood. i Kids has already proven a very popular solution to this parental predicament in Australia, Netherlands, Germany, South Africa and Korea, by giving children the ability to communicate safely, with security features that give parents peace of mind."</blockquote>
