Teddyfone is a specifically designed child safety phone. It uses mobile phone technology but emissions are up to ten times less than a conventional mobile phone (0.2 w/kg SAR value), the lowest in existence.
 
It looks like a teddy, is easy to use and has limited functionality making it unattractive to muggers.
 
Unlike conventional mobile phones, Teddyfone has:
  • no screen, so children can't download (or be sent) ringtones, games or inappropriate images
  • only four buttons, which parents pre-programme with numbers they are happy for their child to call - likely to be mum, dad and grandparents and a friend
  • a parent activated child monitor option which enables them to listen to what is happening around their child
  • an SOS button for emergencies. If the child feels threatened or in danger, they can press this button, which automatically sends a pre-programmed message to three preprogrammed numbers, and enables one person to listen to what is happening at the child's end.
  • an optional child tracking service whereby parents can locate their child at the touch of a button
