The Kidi Communications company is launching the KIDIPHONE+ in Israel, a smart phone intended for children aged 5–12. The device is designed to provide a response to parents looking for a first communication solution for the child, combining independence alongside maximum safety and blocking of external distractions.
The device, which weighs only about 65 grams and is adapted to the palm of children's hands, does not include external applications and offers built–in games only. It connects to a dedicated application on the parent's phone, which allows full control over the various functions.
Among the central capabilities of the device
- Voice calls, video calls and voice chat.
- Precise location tracking (GPS) and defining "safety zones".
- SOS button for emergencies and blocking calls from foreign numbers.
- Option for remote listening and viewing and locking the device during school hours.
"This is an exact solution for parents looking for a first phone for the child without distractions, but with everything needed to feel safe", says Meirav Dorani, marketing manager of Kidi Communications. "the child is independent, and the parent is always in control".
The device comes in a package including a cover, carrying lanyard, screen protector and an Israeli SIM ready for activation. The device can be obtained at leading retail chains (including Bug, KSP, Machsanei Hashmal and Kravitz) at a price starting at NIS 259.
