ParentShield is the only Mobile Network that is perfect for children. Because it is designed for children from the ground up, and has many features that can’t be found on any other network. Unlike Parental control software that controls a phone, you control the network, to make sure those using the phone are safe.
Roaming Network
ParentShield offers two different types of SIMs, a single-network SIM and an all-network SIM.
With the all-network roaming SIM, 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 Roaming 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.
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 and texts are there, archived securely for six months.
Our Network
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.
Designing a network only for children gives us the ability to do things that an adult network can’t – from the all-network roaming to Network Watch alerts, and call and SMS recording and alerting.
We even alert parents if we detect unusual patterns of communication or any calls or texts to someone new. If your child turns their phone off, we can watch and wait for it to come back online and alert you as soon as it does.
ParentShield is a completely different type of 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.
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.
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.
If your child turns their phone off or the battery dies, set an alert to you and the child as soon as the phone reconnects to a network.
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.
With ParentShield, a child can have exactly the phone that they want or need, and don’t have the aggravation of embarrassing or restrictive parental controls. No child wants a “Child’s Phone”! As long as the phone is unlocked to all networks, it will work perfectly. There are no apps to install on the child’s phone ( or for them to uninstall! ).
It also means you can change security settings and view usage remotely without any need to take the phone off the child at any point. Confiscating or taking a phone away for inspection is a guaranteed argument in the making. and can be avoided by taking control of the network itself.
