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.
