KidsOK

The unique mobile mapping service of KidsOK gives your mobile the information on the location of your child's mobile (Cell_ID), helping parents keep in touch with their children. As a parent, you can have confidence that your child is where you expect them to be.

The KidsOK service has been backed by the charity, Kidscape, and its Director, Michele Elliott says, 'The KidsOK product will help keep your child safe. Kidscape endorses the product and will continue to work with the KidsOK team to ensure that safety provisions are kept as high as possible. Parents deserve no less.' KidsOK has also recently won an Innovation Award from the DTI.

How does KidsOK work?

Mobile operators have released the know-how of the mobile cell location information service into the commercial market, which has has been utilised to great effect by KidsOK. You simply send a text message (KidsOK call it Ping™)and you receive back a map of the area in which your child's mobile is located, along with a text description saying that your child is within X meters of a specific point. If your mobile is not colour enabled, a text description is sent.

Test the service online for just 75p, which demonstrates the power of KidsOK. You need a picture phone and by following the simple instructions, you will receive a map of your present location.

When you subscribe to the service, which costs £39.95 annually and includes ten location requests, you will receive the booklet, Your Child's Safety and the Mobile Phone.
