Mobile phone for younger child, want a way to dial out but not receive calls?

Was wondering if there was a mobile phone or mobile phone plan that allowed a handset to make calls to a selected number of phone numbers and not to receive calls. This is so i can give my daughter who is quite young an emergency phone, they can call out to me but not to anyone else. And they cant receive calls so they cant accidently be harrased by anyone.


I think there is such a phone in the US but wondering if there is a way to achieve this in the UK?|||Bloody hell, give your kid some freedom. If you feel she's old enough to go out alone and you feel she's old enough to have a phone than surely she is old enough to have the responsibility that comes with having a phone.



Who is she going to be harrassed by?

And why don't you just set a credit limit, so if she calls/texts friends once her credit is up, it's up. She'll learn to use it reponsibly.



Either let her have a phone, or don't, if you think she's too young. No point in just having a phone if she can only call you?|||You could enquire throught you're current or other mobile suppliers.

Ask if there is any options to bar all incoming calls.

*there might be an option under the settings tab in the mobile options to this, have a look.

Also ask if there is an option to bar out going calls excluding 1 or 2 numbers.



To be honest i havent heard of these option before and i've been in telecoms for a couple of years here in the UK.



I know you most prob could bar all incoming or all outgoing...?



Make a couple calls and find out... or email them, go to the websites, contacts, email.



Good luck.
