Chaperone 2.0 provides parents with a full family security Provided by Verizon  |
| |
 Verizon Wireless has announced that it has added new features and capabilities to its Chaperone® service, making it easier for parents to keep track of their children or for anyone to keep track of their loved ones when they are using their wireless phones.
Chaperone, originally introduced in 2006, is a convenient way to help determine the location of your child's cell phone using the Internet or another cell phone. When children carry a Verizon Wireless cell phone while on the go, the Chaperone Web site or the Chaperone Parent Get It Now® application can be used to view location information or be notified of the whereabouts of the Chaperone Child phone.
Parents have told us they appreciate the notification features
Chaperone offers because it gives them the security of knowing where their children are and the ability to locate them when they are carrying their wireless phones, said Mike Lanman, chief marketing officer of Verizon Wireless. Now, with Chaperone 2.0, we have added new capabilities that make the service even more useful for parents and for kids.
Together with Usage Controls, Verizon Wireless' new service
announced today, Chaperone 2.0 provides parents with a full family security solution that helps them locate their children and understand what services they are using on their wireless phones.
New Features Available with Chaperone 2.0
Chaperone 2.0 now offers:
The ability to locate multiple Chaperone Child devices at the same
time, either from the Chaperone Parent mobile device or the Chaperone Web site.
The introduction of Family SMS Messaging: parents will now be able to
send text messages to one or more Chaperone Child phones from the Chaperon Parent mobile device or Chaperone Web site.
Integration with VZ NavigatorSM: when a parent locates a Chaperone
Child phone from a Chaperone Parent mobile device with a VZ Navigator
subscription, they can automatically open VZ Navigator with the address
pre-populated and receive turn-by-turn directions to their child¹s location.
Enhancements to Child Zones: parents can now add time and date
settings to Child Zone SMS Alerts and schedule Child Zone alerts to be sent to the Chaperone Parent mobile device, by text message or by e-mail. The capability to add up to four children within the account to each
