Pros: sleek small cute

Cons: takes too long to set up acct, no limit or control on how high charges can be once max allowed minutes in plan are reached,

gps function good when phone is out in the open, but if a child is really in trouble, i doubt if they will be standing around holding the cell phone in plain site, up to the sky. gps should work when cell is in childrens backpacks, pockets, and purses where most children actually carry them. not as easy to use for small children as described, in fact took me awhile to figure out how to place a call, when you press the no. 1 button. nothing happens, after calling co. i learned that you must press yhe desired button a second time and hold it down for several seconds and call would be placed, not the most affordable plan/ 46.95 for 200 minutes comes to about 23 cents a minute/ any minutes used above that 200 is billed @ 45 cents a minute, must sign a 1or 2 yr contract, minutes only good 30 days, FIREFLY HAS VERY COMPARABLE CELL @ HALF THE COST, AND NO CONTRACT NEEDED, ALL MINUTES 25 CENTS, PREPAID AND HAVE 90 DAY EXPIRATION, NEVER RISK GETTING STUCK WITH A BILL CAUSE THE MAX AMOUNT MINUTES OFFERRED @ WHERIFONE PLAN IS 200, SURE THERE IS NO GPS FEATURES WITH FIREFLY BUT AS I SAID EARLIER, IF THE KIDS DONT HAVE THIS PHONE OUT LAYING IN THE OPEN SKYLIGHT THE GPS FUNCTION SERVES VERY LITTLE PURPOSE, DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY,
