Lets face it kids love technology, cell phones are extremely popular with the younger set, but how can you watch the calls made, for both safety and keeping costs down?

A Firefly cell phone can be a great way to keep in contact with your offspring and to keep track of where they are and what cell phone calls are made. Also, they can be invaluable in case of an emergency. The Firefly cell phone offers a solution for parents who want the convenience of a cell phone but want a lot of control over how it's used. With the current rebates some free plus rebates some as much as $50 back, the price has come down a lot also.

From the Firefly website: The Firefly phone is about as simple as a cell phone can get. There's no keypad or camera, and a simple soap bar-style shape leaves out any moving parts. It's compact at 3.25 by 1.75 by 0.5 inches and extremely lightweight at 2 ounces, making it perfect for a kid sized pocket.

The bog screen shows the date, time, battery life, signal strength, and caller ID. Teenyboppers will be glad to see that it offers a choice of styles. While it comes with a cool see-through case, four additional color "skins" are available for purchase through Firefly. Since the Firefly has no keypad, you control the mobile through just five buttons. Below the display are the Talk and End keys. Besides doubling as soft keys when accessing the menus, the End button is the power control, and Talk opens the menus. Between and slightly below them is a large button that opens the contact list and serves as the OK key. The last two keys are dedicated controls for calling Mom and Dad. Overall, the controls are large and amply spaced.
