VANCOUVER – Telus has added the Migo, a simple wireless phone for pre-teens to its handset lineup.
It’s "specifically designed for parents who want to equip their pre-teens with a simple mobile communications device for safety and security," says today’s press release.
Instead of a regular phone keypad, the Migo has only four programmable speed-dial keys and one programmable emergency key, all of which parents can pre-set to phone numbers they choose and protect with a pass code. Parents can also program specific ringtones to correspond with up to four different callers.
The oval-shaped Migo weighs 70 grams (2.5 ounces) and features two bug-like antennas, a speakerphone, volume control keys and a display screen that allows for Caller Line ID service but not Internet access. Accessories such as wrist straps and backpack clips are also available.
The LG Migo is available for free on a two-year or three-year contract, or $99.99 with no contract, when activated on any Telus Family Plan rate plan.
