easyfone Star - Safety Device Cum Phone for Kids with SOS, GPS Tracking, Discreet Listening, Photo Dial, No Internet, 10 Days Battery Backup, Parental Control by Seniorworld

Got this for my son. I really didn’t want to give my kid a smartphone... too much distraction and stuff he doesn’t need. But I still wanted to make sure he’s safe when he is out, so I got this.The GPS tracking is a relief – I can check where he is anytime. And the auto call-back feature is the best! Sometimes he is too busy playing to hear the phone, so I just send a command, and it calls me back on loudspeaker. He gets a bit annoyed, but fine no. 😂The SOS button and all that are pretty good for safety purposes.Honestly, I am glad I got it rather than a full on smartphone.

There's a long list of complaints:1. A used-up battery was delivered by the vendor, which just lasts long enough to pass the return date. We noticed the battery got discharged too soon to begin with. Eventually (in 4 months time), the battery bloated and damaged the rear cover of the case.2. Setting the whitelist, blacklist, phone volume is too cumbersome. We have still not been able to set fast dialing up.3. GPS location is very imprecise. I suspect it is not really the satellite GPS.4. No real customer support.

We ordered the Easyfone star for our 7 year old. So far we have found it to be a very good product for younger children. It is safe to use as parent can customise it for the child. The child can't be contacted by any one without parent's knowledge, nor can any number be directly dialled from the phone, unless the contact has been placed their by the parent. The speaker quality is not the best but adequate for calls, voice clarity is good, with minimal noise. It is fairly simple to use and limits use to calling and messaging, therefore unlikely to be too much of a distraction. Can help the child stay in touch with important family members when they are travelling or away for work. Great for keeping in touch with out station grandparents and close relatives.

Excellent idea and implementation, but lack of customer support response is the draw back. I couldn’t activate the GPS, auto call back or discreet listening on it. Which was one of the main reasons to buy this phone, lack of customer care and guidance is a big disappointment. Otherwise a great buy.

Button are not working in a few months, charging port is loose

Very good product for kids safety if your kid goes to classes and activities.The app for the parents is easy to learn too.

Waste of money i have returned it, not designed properly need better UI design

The quality is ok. Battery life is good so is sound quality. The size is perfect for kids use. But the pics feature which makes it easy for kids use is not available with the phone. You need to puchse it separately. This is sad.
