FiLIP 2 Phone, Locator & Watch for Kids
I am a FiLIP 2 Blogger Ambassador. This post is part of a sponsored campaign. I received compensation for my participation, but my review and opinions are my own.
The FiLIP 2 is a multi-functional phone, locator and digital watch designed specifically for children in order to help keep kids safe, provide them with an alternative to a pricier and more advanced device, and give parents some peace of mind. This device packs powerful location technology and tailor made safety features into one small, reliable and easily wearable device. More than a wristwatch, this device is designed to let you keep a digital eye on your child without the added distraction and vulnerability of a fully functional smartphone.
HOW THE FiLIP 2 WORKS
This wearable phone is like a sci-fi comm link straight back to the mother ship. Rather than allowing for outgoing or incoming calls from just anyone, this phone boasts the added security feature of limiting the number of contacts to just the most important people in your child's life. This wristwatch device and make and receive calls only from five trusted contacts that you choose, giving your child a reliable communication method without the open phone number of a regular smartphone. The device can also receive and display short incoming text messages so that you can communicate effectively with your child when a phone call isn't really necessary. The text message function works one way only to give you an alternative way to send messages without giving your child the distraction of text messaging.
TRACKING & LOCATING
In addition to communication abilities, this versatile little wristwatch is also a powerful tracking and locating tool. The FiLIP 2 uses a unique blend of GPS, GSM, and WiFi to track and locate the watch, sending data direct to your smartphone in real time and allowing you to see your child's location at the tap of a button. Your child's device interfaces with the FiLIP app on your own smartphone to display your child's location on a map at any time. This specially designed app also allows you to set up safezones in map locations where your child is supervised and safe. The app will then send you notifications when your child enters or leaves a safezone, letting you know of any unexpected activity right away.
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
As an extra safety feature, this unique device includes single button emergency call capabilities. With a simple three second press of the panic button, the phone begins its emergency call sequence and doesn't stop until it gets an answer, and then records the call for extra security. The emergency call function first contacts you, the primary account holder, and then goes down the list of trusted contacts until a call connects. This convenient bright red panic button feature is easily accessible on the side of the phone in case of emergency.
In addition to keeping your child safe, the FiLIP 2 is a cute and colorful digital watch that is fun to wear. The versatile watch function and design make it comfortable enough for daily use and can even help young children to learn about clock time and calendar time.

This is a fantastic idea and looks like a great product. I would have loved to have this for my son when he was younger.
I really like this. I think this would be great to have for my son. He would love it too.
I have always been a bit concerned about younger kids having cell phones and the like, but I continue to be impressed with the efforts AT&T and other companies have made to make these products kid friendly and add to their safety. I really like that this product allows ME to choose five trusted contacts that can contact my child through the device.
The Flip 2 sure does come in some nice colors. I am impressed that it has a panic button and keeps calling until answered. This would be great for an older person too.
That is a super cool idea. I want to get one for each of my kids.
This is so effiective for kids to have. I love the modern design and the technical aspect for it!
I will check these out….we are on a AT&T plan. The price is definitely doable.
Wow what an AWESOME idea! My brother hasn’t wanted to get a mobile for his kids, but this would be an amazing alternative
That is such a fantastic idea. Kids will love this and parents will be happy.
Seriously, how cool is that? It’s like Spy Kids, only for real. My kids would love the FiLip 2
Wow. I haven’t ever seen this before but this is by far the coolest thing I have ever seen. I need to look into these, I think they are genius!
I wish this had been around when my kids were little. We got my daughter a cell phone to know when to pick her up from chorus practice.
So now even kids have iron man phones on their wrists! I’m NOT ready, LOL!!!
I really like that it tracks where your kids are with GPS. Talk about peace of mind!
This is so neat. Never heard of these before but I’m very interested in getting one now. What a great idea.
What a great way to make sure they don’t lose it!! I like this, and the look is neat..reminds me of the old-school watches back in school. 🙂
I love this idea. It would be reassuring to know that my child had a way to reach me should they get separated or if something went wrong.
That is SUCH a cool gadget. I love the fun colors!
I’m trying to buy 2 of the Filip 2 watches but cant find them for sale anywhere. The FB page is gone. Suggestions?
