Getting a child their first phone is always a big milestone. It usually comes after months of thinking, comparing phones, and deciding they’re finally ready for a bit more independence.
But once that new phone number is active, there’s something most parents never stop to consider – Would you actually know if your child received a text message from a stranger?
How Other Mobile Networks Keep You out of the Loop
Most mobile networks treat every SIM the same — whether it’s for a six-year-old or a sixty-year-old.
That means:
- Anyone can call or text the number.
- Parents get no notifications about who’s making contact.
- There’s no warning when a new person reaches out.
Even “parental control” apps can’t fix this properly, because they run on the phone itself — and can be turned off, deleted, or bypassed.
What Makes ParentShield Different
ParentShield was designed from day one to answer exactly that question – “Would I know if someone new contacted my child?”
Because ParentShield is a mobile network built specifically for children, it can do things no other network can.
1. New Correspondent Alerts
Whenever your child texts or calls someone new — or someone new contacts them — you’ll get an instant alert.
No need to battle for their phone; you just know.
2. Word Alerts
If a text includes anything worrying, ParentShield lets you know instantly. You choose which words or phrases trigger an alert, so it’s completely tailored to your child.
3. Ultra-Secure Mode
You can lock the SIM so it only works with trusted family and friends. In this mode, no one outside that group can call or text — ever. It’s the safest setting for younger users or times when you need extra control.
4. Full Visibility, When You Need It
All messages and calls are securely logged in your online parent portal, so you can step in if something doesn’t look right — and build trust as your child learns.
A Safer Start
Every parent wants to give their child freedom — safely.
Knowing who’s contacting them, when, and why, shouldn’t be difficult.
With ParentShield, it isn’t.
Because when it comes to protecting children, you shouldn’t need to wonder. You should know.
