Our Network
ParentShield is the only mobile network that is perfect for children – because it’s been designed for children from the ground up.
If you are providing a SIM card for a Child’s mobile phone, only ParentShield will provide the features that are required to guarantee that the mobile phone can’t become a danger.
Call and SMS Recording
Know exactly what conversations are being had, and with whom, by reviewing your child’s call and SMS history.
Even if you don’t check the recordings regularly, you have the peace of mind knowing that, should the worst happen, the calls are there, archived securely for six months.
Time and SchoolBlock Controls
Use the power of the ParentShield Parent Portal to say exactly when the Phone can call or be called, and when it can send and receive SMS, or use mobile data.
Outside the allowed times, only your Home Numbers ( and the emergency services ) will work. Because the controls are network-side, there is no way around them, and ParentShield will work in any unlocked Phone.
Flexible as they grow
ParentShield customers can change tariffs at any time, and it’s a rolling monthly contract that can be suspended or cancelled at any time.
Perfect for Corporate Parents
Only ParentShield has been designed to have all the features and controls that make a mobile phone safe for legal compliance outside of a home environment.
Right for the Job
From the free and quick SIM replacement service for lost phones to the ability to alert parents about inappropriate usage – ParentShield is very different to any other Network.
Spending and budgeting
Spending controls are very important in a child’s phone. Inexperienced users will invariably run up a small fortune of a bill, or plough through their allocated budget and then be unable to call home.
ParentShield will protect you against that shock bill, and provide you with educational tools – such as our Daily Data Budgeting – that allow you to teach about budgeting in a safe argument and stress free way.
Roaming Network
ParentShield is a true roaming network with the ability to get your child a mobile signal where a single network SIM may not.
Placed in any Unlocked mobile Phone, the ParentShield SIM finds the network with the strongest signal to connect to. This means that, even if you live in a remote area, ParentShield gives you the best possible chance of being in touch with your valuable user.
Alerts and Monitoring
Every single phone call and SMS message that your child sends and receives is matched against your chosen block and allow lists.
You can add a number to your blocklist with a single click.
Words used in any SMS message – inbound or outbound – are scanned against your personal Word Alert list. Should any of the words used be potentially concerning, an SMS is sent immediately to YOUR mobile phone, alerting you to log into your Portal and check out the conversation.
Placed in any Unlocked mobile Phone, the ParentShield SIM finds the network with the strongest signal to connect to. This means that, even if you live in a remote area, ParentShield gives you the best possible chance of being in touch with your valuable user.
