PLANO, Texas, Oct. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Enfora, L.P., a global leader in
wireless solutions, announced today that Amerilink Wireless Communications, a
wireless service provider serving Central Texas residents, selected the
TicTalk parent-controlled mobile phone for its Kid Link Service. Developed
with parents' needs in mind, TicTalk combines safety with arcade-style
educational games from LeapFrog.
"In today's fast paced world, the safety and security of our children is a
top priority. The TicTalk cell phone was chosen for our Kid Link Service
based on its superb feature set and durability. We are confident that parents
will appreciate the peace of mind offered by our Kid Link Service, and that
kids will enjoy TicTalk's unique combination of phone features and educational
games," said Lucas J. Caruso, Vice President of Corporate Operations at
Amerilink Wireless Communications in Brownwood.
"Responding to consumers' demands with the TicTalk is a winning
proposition for Amerilink, especially since they already understand the value
of creating kid and family friendly wireless service plans," said Mark
Weinzierl, president and chief executive officer for Enfora. "This is
obviously a great match for many reasons, including the fact that parents
maintain control and communications with their children."
Parents control the TicTalk phone by configuring it using their PC or via
a password-protected web based account that is easy to use. Parents can pre-
set exactly who their child can call and receive calls from, and what hours
and days of the week the phone can be used. Parents can program two kinds of
numbers: 'Anytime' numbers for family and emergency (911) and restricted
'Reward' numbers for friends and fun. The built-in LeapFrog(R) learning games
cover over 400 schools skills in the first through sixth grade core subject
areas such as spelling, math, social studies, and science. While kids play
and master the arcade-style educational games, parents can reward their kids
with extra talk minutes at the parent's discretion.
The TicTalk design is durable and fits easily in the palm of a child's
hand. It operates on GSM/GPRS cellular networks nationwide. Some of its
features include a built-in speakerphone, the ability to personalize ring
tones and download photos, multiple choice replies for parent generated text
notes, and organizational tools such as a calendar and to-do list. The
TicTalk comes with a battery charger and USB cable, backpack clip and lanyard,
a Quick Start Guide, and a Parent Guide. Optional accessories include Ring of
Light faceplates, multicolored lanyards, and multicolored holster cases.
The TicTalk phone is a cool way to stay in touch with family and friends.
It provides fun and educational games where kids can learn and earn minutes as
they play. It's also a great tool for parents to communicate with their
children while managing and monitoring the phone's features.
