Actually this could be quite useful for parents who may have conditions like epilepsy or diabetes or something else where they could slip into states of unconsciousness or incapacitation. The kid could be taught from an early age to ring 911 or 999 or some other emergency number listed here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_emergency_telephone_numbers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_emergency_telephone_nu... (what a anti-NWO list of numbers)
and hopefully get the appropriate service just by using their Fisher Price phone.
We read and hear about kids calling the emergency services all the time so I wonder how long before we get the first Fisher-Price mobile phone emergency call, which news organisations will be the first to run with it?
- pieterhg 5y agoNWO?
- iicc 5y agoThat would be an obvious PR coup, but teaching a kid to use this instead of an actual phone is much less reliable in almost every way.
- lotsofpulp 5y agoI feel like all the toddlers I know, including my own, would already know how to use a smartphone by the time they would be able to learn to use this phone.
- jimktrains2 5y agoWe have a land line phone because I didn't want to have to teach the kids how to unlock my phone nor rely on my phone always being charged and accessible in case of emergency. The land line is always on accessible and always in the aame spot.
- monocasa 5y agoMy phone at least allows for 911 calls from the lock screen.
- jimktrains2 5y agoOne other thing I thought of: a land line is tied to an address without needing the child to be able to give the address verbally. My oldest can, my youngest is still learning, but I am also assuming all bets are off if they're scared. Also, I'm sorry for the various typos in the previous post.
- lotsofpulp 5y agoFYI, all mobile phone numbers in the US have the option of being tied to an address for 911 purposes. I assume the default is the billing address, but the address can be changed to be specific to each phone number. https://www.t-mobile.com/support/account/change-your-billing-and-e911-address https://www.t-mobile.com/support/account/change-your-billing... https://www.verizon.com/support/knowledge-base-214957/ https://www.verizon.com/support/knowledge-base-214957/ https://asecare.att.com/tutorials/officehand-e-911-emergency-address-3639/?product=AT&T%20Office@Hand https://asecare.att.com/tutorials/officehand-e-911-emergency...
- echoradio 5y agoI distinctly remember the shock (and adults scrambling) that ensued when we discovered my 18-month-old niece figured out how to unlock an iPhone back in 2011.
