Stay connected with your children anywhere, anytime
YOUR CHILD’S FIRST COMMUNICATION GADGET
No one said parenting would be easy. Just ask any parent and they will be united in their replies – parenting is tough work! Times have changed when you know that you have to strike a balance between the demands of life and seeking quality time with your children. I try to spend as much time with my child as I can but like any savvy parents today, I depend a lot on my mobile phone to contact my child. In order to ensure she is safe and sound, I entrust my child with her own mobile phone so we can stay connected at all times. Giving children a mobile phone is a good way to encourage them to learn to be responsible for their actions. Parents can guide them on how to use the phone properly such as the costs associated with different types of calls and text messages, and the risks of downloading games and music, which could lead to high data charges.
A FLEXIBLE PLAN FOR PARENT AND CHILD
Many parents fear the consequences of expensive mobile phone bills when they sign up a mobile plan for their children. On the contrary, mobile plans are getting inexpensive these days. I found this especially so with SingTel’s RedPAC Supplementary Plan. RedPAC is Singapore’s first supplementary mobile plan, which allows the child to share the bundled talktime and SMS from the parent’s main mobile plan. The perks of this plan are the 1,000 minutes of free calls between me and my child plus the additional 150 free SMS I get to enjoy. I can now share my child’s joy and sorrows which draws us closer without expensive mobile phone bills. What’s more, with mybill – a SingTel e-billing system, I can also monitor my child’s calls and SMS usage patterns. This efficient service allows me to have more control over my phone bills and teach her to take accountability of her own mobile usage as well.
BOND WITH JUST A PHONE CALL AWAY
Have a complete peace of mind and share her joy when your child calls and raves about her good results or simply send your child an SMS to set up an ice-cream-and-fries date. RedPAC is a stellar lifestyle mobile plan that you and your child can share. At only $8.56 per month, what better way to bond than with a simple mobile plan like RedPAC without breaking the bank?

REDPAC TIPS ON MOBILE PHONE SAFETY FOR YOUR CHILD
• Inform your child of the costs associated with calls and SMS.
• Put a monthly cap on their usage if mobile costs get too high.
• Advise your child to get your approval before using the phone to vote, download music or making overseas calls.
• Make sure your child has good mobile phone etiquette, such as to keep the phone on silent mode when they are in the library or movie theatres.
