No worry Daisy - it will probably pop up one fine day. The one you saw is more \"useful\" - haha! Pls do pm me if you find it as I may easily miss certain forum threads!

I know some parents has to provide the child a handphone out of necessity.


1. Does your child has a handphone ? Started at what age ?
2. Your main reason for providing the handphone ?
3. What sort of mobile package did you subcribe for your child ?

Bumping up this thread.


1) Anyone found the software that allow parents to view SMS messages/call log ?
2) Seems like pre-paid card is the best option for the kid’s handphone. Sorry to ask but I can’t find answer on the Singtel website, how does pre-paid cards work and do I need to go Hello shop to get one ?

only when he needs to stay back in school for extra curriculum and we need to contact each other on when to pick him up. Preferably is that he needs to know how to sms.


I have been saving up my mobile plan to 'pass it on' to him. My mobile plan costs only $3.50/mth - the catch is that there is only 30min free offpeak call time but has up to 700 free smses. So that will probably restrict him from talking too much to his friends cos he need to bear the $0.20 per block minute talktime and there are no free incoming talktime at all.

WHOA, 700 free smses?
What's that plan?

Sorry to Nokia fans, but I've heard too many cases that Nokia phones no longer that good. It spoilts easily.. hangs easily, etc...


Maybe can consider Sony Ecrission or other cheaper brand for kids to use bah..

I hope my daughter can get to use the mobile next year but she dono how to use a phone yet. :roll:

True, ever since that incident where I reached 1000 messages and the whole phone just shuts down, I cannot delete my messages anymore, and I even have problems viewing old messages.
And also, if you keep your messages, your phone will take ages to load. (mine takes about 5 min, averagely)
PS: I'm 12.
