These under 18 phone plans aim to make safer connections

The P.H.O.N.E chat.
Quick Summary

EE has launched its 'P.H.O.N.E Contract' and Safer SIMs plans to allow parents to give their children access to phones in a safer way. Developed with Konnie Huq and the EE Youth Council it combines phone restrictions and info to share with your kids.

Allowing your children to have a phone is a huge dilemma for parents. Phones allow you to keep in touch when they are away from home, but they present so many dangers, from scams and adult content to cyberbullying. More under-18s than ever now have them, though, with even those as young as 11 regularly using a handset.
