I want to buy a mobile phone for my son (10 yo).

I want the phone to have "parental controls", i.e. it should only be able to call preset numbers and it only receive calls from preset numbers.

Settings accessible through a login system.

Has anyone heard about such a product?

I haven't seen anything like this is Thailand. Although I have seen them in the west. If you have a Thai wife, you could have her call some of the providers such as DTAC, TRUE, ect., and have her ask if they could set up some restrictions on a sim card.

My ex wife sent my kids mobile phones, they have been sitting in my drawer for 2 years now. Can't see any reason a child needs a mobile phone, they will just play games and text friends in class. Good luck with the restrictions, also kids cop more flack for non trendy brands than none at all.

Well, I do.

And it is not intended for use in Thailand, but this is not relevant to my question.

And before anyone goes into debating mobile phones for children, I am interested wether the technical solution I need exists or not, and not in a debate over wether getting mobiles for children is right or wrong.

Outgoing calls is easy, just program in the number you want them to have and take the keypad out.

We have walkie-talkies
