New Cell Phone For Kids Is A Hit With Parents

Moms and Dads finally have another option to the expensive cell phones that may be too difficult for their younger children to use. The new Firefly, by Firefly Mobile Inc, is a small egg-shaped cell phone that sets off a cool blue glow. It comes pre-programmed with 12 ringtones and with only 5 keys, it is extremely easy to use.

"There are plenty of other phones available that are packed with features," says Gaston Collins at http://www.Cell-Phone-and-Plan.com - "but parents really love the peace of mind in knowing that they can communicate with their children when they need to and in a very simple and efficient way."

The Firefly doesn't come with any numerical buttons. Instead, parents can program up to 20 numbers in the cell phone's phone book. Parents can also control incoming calls to their child's phone with a secret PIN code, which blocks all incoming calls except for those numbers that the parents have pre-programmed the phone to allow.

What's most unique about the Firefly is how easy it is to call Mom or Dad. The child simply pushes the "Mom" button to call Mom, and the "Dad" button to call Dad. It also comes with a 911 Emergency fast-dial button.

The Firefly is designed especially for kids between the ages of 5-12 years old. Since it doesn't come with any games or text-messaging, many schools that have previously banned cell phones are beginning to allow the Firefly.

About the Firefly:
The Firefly is priced between $0-$99.99 with any new Cingular Individual Plan or Family Plan contract at some Toys'R'Us and Target stores. The Firefly is currently available in most areas. Visit http://www.unWiredWarehouse.com/goto/firefly for more information.
