Last week, Vodafone began offering a service called Bemilo, which allows parents to gain unprecedented control over how their children use their phones. The Bemilo service costs £2.95 (approximately $5) and uses a special SIM card for any phone and tablet. Surprisingly, and a little scary, parents can log in to a web interface that is basically equivalent to a remote console on a child's phone or tablet, where parents can read all text messages, including deleted ones, or even control them. Who is the child talking to? Parents can also monitor and restrict the browsing of some websites (such as porn sites), and the BBC and The Telegraph have full coverage of this.
Bemilo's owner, Simon Goff, told the BBC: "This SIM card is similar to the SIM card you bought from other network operators, but gives your child complete control over the security environment. Parents can allow or deny calls to children, or set the time allowed for the phone to run during the day."
Bemilo's supporters say the SIM-based service will actually liberate children from being harassed by sex-related information and images under pressure and threats. The report of the England's NaTIonal Society for the PrevenTIon of Cruelty to Children states that when such information and pictures appear, it is often under the pressure of a young boy. Now young girls can more easily protect themselves from these nasty sexual harassment: "Man, you know I used Bemilo..."
This service can also suppress the distress of those late-night text messages that cause children to lose sleep. Goff said: "If you let your child go to sleep, I am talking about a big child who is almost 16 years old. Parents often think that they really sleep, but then you find that they send text messages late into the night, or at night. Go online."
The trend of “runaway mobile phones†has become popular in the United States, said Suzanne Kantra of USA Today. If you're looking for "the most comprehensive set of parental monitoring methods" -- location tracking, alarms when your child's phone receives a strange new call, and when the child uses a mobile phone to download a new app, Sprint's Sprint Guard is the most appropriate. The service will be released this summer for a monthly fee of $9.99 (but can be used for 5 lines at the same time). In fact, the four major US carriers (Sprint, Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile) provide location tracking services, usually implemented by GPS, but sometimes by the triangle positioning method of the mobile tower. Other operators offer other services, including locking text messages while driving, such as Sprint's Drive First and T-Mobile's Smart Smart, as well as texting late at night. Such "dangerous behavior" alarm service.
Even if this type of technology becomes more and more complicated, the trend of operators helping to care for children is not new. The CNET website introduced a service from AT&T five years ago that allows parents to control text messages, chats, downloads, and more. There are a lot of third-party software that monitors mobile phones. Phone Sheriff is one of them. It can actually be used not only for children but also for employees. The software's website says, “What do your children or your employees do with their mobile phones?†(I don't want to go there to work for companies that treat employees and children as interchangeable concepts.)
I don't have children, and in the era of a smart phone, smart phones can put children in a variety of troubles. Even so, I am still skeptical about whether services and software like this can really improve children's lives. Claiming that services like Bemilo can make children "liberate" from intimidation is a bit like a parent's excuse. They just can't go with the flow and don't want to admit the fact that some aspects of their children's lives are parents. It can't be controlled forever. If you really want to manage it, just take care of your dog.
