Remember when you wore your first phone? Your kids will. Here’s how it works:
Using the FiLIP app, you pre-program five phone numbers that your child can call. Your child can scroll through the five numbers and call the one they want with the touch of a button. It’s that simple.
You and any of the five people you pre-authorized can call your child’s FiLIP directly. You can also see their precise location on a map. For parents with multiple children, you can simply create a profile for each child in the FiLIP app. So if you play ‘hide and go seek’ with your kids, this is the competitive advantage that you’ve been waiting for!
A SafeZone is a virtual radius which you can set using the FiLIP app. SafeZones are a virtual radius around a destination. When a SafeZone is set, notifications will be sent to the parent’s smartphone via a push notification from the FiLIP app whenever your child enters or leaves a SafeZone.
You can also send a short message to your child’s FiLIP. This feature is one way from parent to child, there is plenty of time for texting when they are teenagers.
There are two buttons on the FiLIP watch – one that’s the same color as the wristband and one that’s red. You can guess which one is the emergency button.
In the event of an emergency, your child can press the red button for 3 seconds. This will:
1) Initiate a call to the first designated number and if there is no answer, calls the other four designated numbers in succession.
2) Automatically start a recording of ambient sound around the child’s FiLIP device
3) Send push notification to the primary account holder with a link to the child’s current location.
Give FiLIP’s emergency mode a try with you and your child to make sure if there is ever an emergency you both will know what to do.
