Dialog GSM promotes Responsible Mobile Use with Sri Lanka’s first ever Kids Mobile Package

Dialog GSM recently launched a unique mobile package especially designed for kids. Named ‘Dialog Kidz Connection’ it offers a host of special features, especially designed to offer parents more control over their child’s mobile phone while having the facility to contact them when needed. The Kidz Connection includes many child safety features, such as the restricted calls/SMS, SMS copy and Word Filtering on SMS.

With the restricted call/sms feature, all outgoing and incoming calls and SMS are restricted to five numbers that would be chosen by the parent at the point of signing up for the connection. As an added safety feature, MMS and GPRS access is disabled. The SMS copy facility is a unique feature in this product which is introduced for the first time in Sri Lanka. This facilitates the parent to receive a copy of each SMS received/sent by the child.

"Dialog has constantly strived to make mobile communications accessible and relevant to all segments of the society. Today’s launch of the Kidz Connection is yet another important initiative in this regard," said Mr. Supun Weerasinghe, Chief Operating Officer of Dialog Mobile. "Our main goal in launching this package was to promote responsible mobile use, whilst keeping the benefits of mobile communication. We incorporated several special features to the Kidz Connection with the goal of making the package more secure and safe to be used by children.

The Kidz Connection on prepaid is issued under the parent’s name and is available at all Dialog outlets. Once purchased parents could top-up the Kidz Connection by transferring credit from parents mobile using the eZ D2D feature in addition to standard prepaid recharge via eZ cards/reloads.
