Don't Buy It.......2007-07-11
I bought this for my son at the beginning of the school year for emergencies. Far too expensive on the minutes that must be used before they expire. I tried getting more minutes on their site that you must use and is poorly setup. It keeps looping you on a minimilist site. Good luck trying to find a phone number to call them and getting a human being. I sent email and a day later they responded with a phone number to call. No, the number is not listed on the site. Finally I just gave up and got a free real cell phone for just $10 extra a month on my plan (T-mobile). I'll take the chance of him being responsible than having the frustration of trying to work with this substandard product (there are no number buttons on it and it is difficult to hear anyone) and poor customer service. I would give it ZERO stars if I could. Save your money and look elsewhere.
Arghhhhh.......2007-01-02
I bought the phone for my 6-year old who was having separation anxiety. I purchased $25 of minutes and gave hime the phone for emergencies (which is what the thing is for). Since we did not have any emergencies in the last 6 months, the phone has gone unused.
When I tried to use it this morning it would not work. I called customer service who pointed me to a terms & conditions page 3 links deep on their website. In 5-point font they let you know that if you don't use the minutes in 90 days they expire and if you don't use the phone for 120 days they deactivate it. There is a $25 reactivation fee and you lose all of your purchased minutes.
When I pointed out that the policy was not clearly posted I was basically told tough luck by a 22 year old "Customer Service" manager.
This is a terrible way to do business, a really obnoxious means of wringing additional revenue out of an existing customer base (especially given the primary purpose of the phone as an infrequently used emergency device).
This company ought to be ashamed of themselves. Bunch of scheisters.
good concept, poor terms & conditions.......2006-12-13
This phone designed for the tween set is good in theory, but the company's terms & conditions, which are not clearly spelled out anywhere obvious, get you to keep dumping money into it, even if you're not using the minutes. I had activated my phone over the summer, but never used it. When I went to give it to my daughter to take somewhere, I was puzzled when I tested it and was told that was not a valid phone number. Apparently, once the minutes are activated, you have 90 days to either use them or buy more, after which the minutes expire. To reactiviate, you have to purchase a new SIMS card at $25! This was supposed to be mostly for emergency use, I certainly don't need more minutes every 90 days. I plan to wait until my kids are older and will see more use out of it.
Product Description
Design
As far as cell phones go, it doesn't get much simpler than the Firefly. The small, egg-shaped device weighs just over 2 ounces and features a small monochrome screen and an internal antenna. Below the screen, there's no dialpad, just call send and end keys, a phone book key, and two shortcut dialing keys (also known as the Mom and Dad keys) that can be set to call parents at a single button press. Volume control keys are provided on the right side of the phone, and there's also a "fireworks" button here, which triggers the Firefly's fun lights. And to keep the fun factor high, the Firefly accepts a number of colored shells. Finally, a button on the right side of the phone serves as an emergency call button.
Calling Features
Because the Firefly is geared for kids in the 8-12 age range, simplicity is the name of the game. As mentioned, the phone makes it easy for kids to call Mom and Dad at the touch of a button. And for safety, the Firefly allows parents to strictly control all incoming and outgoing calls. Parents can preprogram a list of up to 20 approved numbers kids can call. Parents can also choose to block all incoming calls not on the list. These parental settings are protected by a code, so once the Firefly's phonebook is programmed, it cannot be changed (unless the code is entered). To quickly dial 911, a child can hold
