Wherifone G560.......2007-10-06
The phone itself is easy to use and easy to program via the Wherify Web site. The phone is very small and light weight. The limited buttons to call are perfect for an intended use with older parents that need a simple way to contact someone in an emergency and to have a way to find them if need be! Getting the phone activated by Wherfy takes a day or so. You are able to find the location of the phone via the Web in a minute or so. It has an aerial view of the location using satellite photos also!
Warning, You can buy, but you won't be able to activate!.......2007-05-23
We saw this on the View, and thought what a terrific produt for our son. Unfortunately, you can't reach the company to turn on the phone. All you get is a message that repeats at 8am or 5 pm, what a rip off! We returned to Amazon after spending a week calling them at all times of the day.
Safety and a portable phone - provides some peace of mind for parents.......2006-11-22
Although our older kids didn't get cell phones till much later, I gave in and got our younger one this phone for several reasons:
1. Stress reduction. I'm a sandwich generation person (I have kids, I have elderly parents) and so I need to know WHERE my kid is and how to reach him. Yes, we have rules and he follows them (call home, ALWAYS leave phone numbers where you'll be, etc) but this still leaves lots of room for error. What about when kids are playing outside or outside the range of a land line phone? With this phone, I can log online and know where he is quickly. It also works like a regular phone. The only risk is losing it.
2. Reasonable price. The Wherify Service will set you back about 20.00 a month but having a GPS phone is worth it for the peace of mind and time saved.
3. Too many hours driving around to track down my kid when he was outside, it was nearly dark, etc. It saves me time. If I DO need to reach him immediately, this device hones in on his location.
4. As noted above, I not only have elderly parents but I'm juggling responsibilities for two households (as so many Baby Boomers are). In short, I didn't get the phone so much because I thought HE needed one but because I really need to reach him when necessary - and quickly. It has paid off handsomely, both in time saved and less stress.
It is also sturdy, works well, no complaints. It doesn't look as "cool" as some state of the art phones but it does the job. You can stick it in your kid's backpack, put it in a teen's car, etc.
ONE CAUTION: If you are buying this to keep track of your employees or to snoop on your kids, think carefully about this. You might gain info at the cost of trust lost. I didn't buy this to snoop on my kid but to be able to reach him in an emergency.
Wherifone GPS locator for my daughter.......2006-10-20
I recently purchased this phone for my 5 year old daughter, I have her take it with her to pre-school and it is a good feeling when I can be on my computer at work and track my daughter in her school, on the school bus and when she arrives at my home. It becomes very addicting because it is so easy to get her location. Thank you Wherify for relieving a little stress from my life when parting with my daughter who means everything to me. Keep up the good work, the feature to locate using my cell phone will be awesome. Please get it soon!
Good idea, technology not ready yet!.......2006-10-19
This is a great idea, especially for kids. However, the company is selling the product before the wrinkles are smoothed out. You are supposed to be able to do a "locate" in 3 ways: from the web site, from your cell phone, or by calling Wherify. It was not clear to me until I bought the phone that the "locate" by sending a text message from a cell isn't a functional feature yet... the company told me it will be at least 2 months.
Locating from the web site has worked very poorly today. (They told me they are working on their technology but even the company can't get signed in today.)
Further, they only have customer support from 9 am until 7 pm. So, since you can't locate from your cell phone yet, you better have a working internet connection when you want to find your kids... because they won't answer the phone outside of those hours.
We also found that a fully-charged phone battery only lasted 7 hours, with the majority of that time on standby (actual talk time was about 5 min).
Great idea, but I expect by the time they have a good product the regular cell phone companies will be offering the same technology.
I am returning both of ours and getting out of the contract.
