PhonepayPlus: A Phone is for Life, Not Just for Christmas

This Christmas, phone-paid services regulator PhonepayPlus has launched its “A Phone is for Life, Not Just for Christmas” campaign to make parents more phone-aware.

Paul Whiteing, Chief Executive, PhonepayPlus says: “If your child asks for a mobile phone for Christmas you need to consider the long-term costs. If precautions aren’t taken, that handset can end up costing a lot more than parents think.

“We encourage parents to spend time with their child and explain the basics about owning a mobile phone, and specifically what to look out for when it comes to phone-paid services such as downloading ringtones or games. This means kids can get a lot more out of their phone and their pre-pay credit, and parents get peace of mind, knowing their child is safe and the bills won’t give them a nasty surprise.

“We’ve set up a site called www.phonebrain.org.uk where children and parents can find everything they need to know about phone-paid services (such as ringtones, competitions and television voting) as well as fun stuff, like making and downloading video ringtones.”
