Filip
is a smart locator and wearable phone for kids between 5-11 years. This
device was designed to eradicate the unbearable panic that sets in when
a parent temporarily loses sight of their child. Now parents can track
their child's movement via an app on their own smart phone.
Through
this app, parents have complete control over which numbers Filip can
connect to and which numbers can call in. The device allows unlimited
two-way voice calling so that parents can talk or send messages to their
children at any time.
Parents can also set safe zones for their
child (triggering a notification if the child enters or leaves a
designated area). Filip also features an intelligent emergency procedure
to locate the child and put him/her in touch with the family if needed.
The device will cost $200 (plus
$10 per month for AT&T's mobile services). While Filip is available
exclusively from AT&T, the Filip App can be downloaded and used
with any mobile carrier.
