Whitelist Numbers

By switching on the Whitelist feature you can create ‘safe contacts’. Only ‘safe contacts’ can call the phone and only the ‘safe contacts’ can be called. This means no unsolicited calls.

No Camera

We can’t always be watching our children on social media. Sometimes we wonder if they are being socially responsible online. Not having a camera can give you that little extra peace of mind.

SOS Emergency Call

By activating the SOS Emergency button feature the SmartKids Phone will SMS it’s current location and call up to five contacts with a simple press of a button.

Real Reviews from Satisfied SmartKids Phone Users

We love hearing stories about how SmartKids Phone has helped real people a little easier. Here are some of our favourites.
Productreview

A very good and practical first phone. Love that it doesn't have a camera. My daughter can use my phone if she wants to use a camera. If she wants to play games, YouTube or make and receive calls she can use her own phone unsupervised.

Productreview

What a refreshing phone. I was very hesitant in getting my 7 year old a phone but this solved all the fears I had. The biggest was having access to the internet and in particular tictok. The second biggest fear was screen time. This solves both of them. My 7 year old can watch videos on tiktoc without being able to share videos of himself. I can also restrict different apps at different times. Right now I don't allow him to access the internet but I allow him access to tiktok and google play store to download age appropriate games. Not sure why the bigger phone brands aren't doing something similar to this?

A Phone Designed Especially For Kids… and Parents

Set personalised limits on how and when your kids call, text, and connect to help them learn responsible use of mobile phones.

This phone has no camera to ensure your children are socially responsible. As a parent, you can see which apps are downloaded and control when they’re being used. Track your child’s location through virtual safe zones set using geofencing.

Your Children Can Now Connect with Family and Friends Safely

Your child having their own mobile phone is a great way for kids to socialise and connect with friends. It can take time for children to learn how to use their own device safely. However, to help parents, Opel Mobile have developed one of the first-ever phones designed specifically for kids.

The Opel Mobile SmartKids touch phone for kids comes with key features to help keep them connected and safe. For starters, we’ve eliminated the camera. This can help ensure your child is being socially responsible. We’ve also designed our phone for kids to provide parents with a notification whenever an app is downloaded. You can make sure your child is using their phone appropriately and not getting into something they shouldn’t.

You can restrict app choices and use time control features to limit when these can be used too. You can also pick and choose which phone numbers can be called and received through your kid’s phone.

Worried about a lost phone? The Opel Mobile SmartKids phone also comes with features that allow you to discover its real-time location. You can track your kid’s phone with ease and trust they are safe.

What else can the Opel Mobile SmartKids Phone offer?

With this specialised mobile phone, kids get access to 4G/3G network capabilities, as well as an SOS emergency button. When this button is pressed, the phone will automatically text and call up to five contacts, notifying friends or family that the user needs help. This is a feature you hope they will never have to use but it’s great to have on hand just in case.

Opel Mobile’s basic phone for kids gives you, and them, what they want. Get them connected while keeping them safe! Click below to buy now.

6) Connect to Wi-Fi network if you are indoors (under Device Settings)

Location

Please refer to the below checklist:
1) Restart the device (or power it off and then on again)
2) The SIM card is inserted correctly (refer to the Quick Setup Guide in User Manual)
3) The SIM card has been activated and has sufficient credit to use mobile data
4) Use the device in the areas with good mobile network reception

If the Opel Mobile device is a smartphone, e.g. Opel Mobile SmartKids:
1) “Location permission” is selected with “Allow all the time”
2) “Phone permission” is selected with “Allow”
3) “Physical activity permission” is selected with “Allow”
4) “Usage access” is selected with “Permit”
5) Both “Mobile data” and “Use location” are turned on

 

1) Select the menu button in the upper left corner at the main screen
2) Select the device you want to obtain it instant location
3) The app will show the refreshed location within a minute

Your Opel Mobile device will try to use it GPS hardware to obtain the location from the satellites. If it is not available, then it will use Wi-Fi signal to obtain the approximate location. But if both are not available, then it will use cellular network towers to calculate its location.

While the accuracy of GPS hardware is generally between 10m-100m, so it is normal for a device to jump around on the map with up to 100m when stationary. The discrepancy may be even larger when it is only using cellular network towers to obtain its location by calculation.

GPS reception also can be interfered when the device is indoors, surrounded by tall buildings, or even during bad weather time. These limitations occur on all types of GPS devices and apps, even Uber experiences this.

Although we do have algorithms to help to fix the bad location data, but unfortunately it is not possible to fix all scenarios.

Geofence

1) Select the device on the map, then select the “Settings” button
2) Select “Geofence”, then select “Add” in the upper right corner
3) Long-press at the locations of the corners of the geofence boundary you want to create (in a clockwise or anti-clockwise manner)
4) Select “Done” when you finished dropping the pins and drew a geofence area in blue

Yes, a geofence area must be at a minimum 100m x 100m

1) Briefly press on a pin to delete this pin
2) Long-press on a pin to move it around on the map

Generally it is caused by poor GPS reception, or the geofence area is not large enough or in the best desirable shape:
1) Try to make the geofence area larger, e.g. 200m x 200m, or above
2) Try to avoid creating a geofence area in triangle shape, i.e. square or octagon are preferred

Notification

Please refer to the below checklist:
1) The app is allowed to display notifications in the system settings
