Mobile, Inc. today announced the availability of the Firefly phone, a
pioneering mobile phone designed specifically for kids ages 12 and under.
Cingular is the first national U.S. carrier to launch this unique voice-only
phone. Firefly Mobile also announced this week that the Firefly phone was
awarded the prestigious 2006 'Best of Innovations' Award in the telephone
category from the Consumer Electronics Association (CES).
The Firefly phone was designed with just five keys instead of a regular
dial pad. Parents use a private PIN to program up to 22 outgoing numbers into
the phone, including speed-dial keys for Mom and Dad. Kids place calls by
pressing the Mom or Dad key, or selecting a name in the Phone Book and

call screening feature can be activated, allowing the phone to accept incoming
calls from only those numbers programmed into the phone.
