OVERLAND PARK, Kan.,
Feb. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- Sprint (NYSE: S) today announced WatchMeGo™
from Sprint, a unique solution designed just for kids to give
parents peace of mind. WatchMeGo includes a cool kid's watch with
monitoring and communication plus the award-winning
Kidomi™ app with parent-approved entertainment and
educational activities for children ages 4 - 13.
The WatchMeGo device is $144 or
just $6 per month for 24 months with
installment billing. Service to enable the security and
communication features requires a simple rate plan of $10 per month with AutoPay and no activation
fee.1 It is available starting today, Feb. 7, at www.sprint.com/WatchMeGo or
800-SPRINT1 and coming soon to all Sprint retail channels.
Nothing is more important to a parent than knowing their child's
location. Just about every parent has felt that rush of fear and
confusion when they turn around and don't immediately see their
child. Or a coach switches the game field and you don't know where
to go to cheer them on. Or a birthday party pickup location changes
and you didn't get the text from the party host.
Designed to bring parents peace of mind, WatchMeGo offers
real-time GPS location tracking2 through the custom
WatchMeGo app. WatchMeGo lets parents and children stay connected
without handing a young person a wireless phone. Parents and kids
can send and receive voice messages, and the watch can also receive
text messages from the parent.
"WatchMeGo is the perfect solution for parents with little ones
who aren't yet ready for their first phone," said Doug Smith, Sprint vice president of product
innovation and product marketing. "With the ability to track the
location of your child almost anywhere using GPS and communicate
through text or voice messages, WatchMeGo is an ideal addition to
your family's connected lifestyle."
Parents can also receive automated alerts when their child's
WatchMeGo enters or exits a defined safety zone such as their
school or neighborhood. The fun and stylish wearable has an "SOS"
button that immediately sends an alert to a parent's
smartphone.
The Kidomi™ app from the education experts at
Fingerprint Digital is included with WatchMeGo at no additional
cost (a $7.99 per month value) and
features hundreds of educational games and activities that focus on
science, math, technology and reading. The kid-friendly and
parent-approved app also delivers an extensive library of family
entertainment videos and eBooks.
WatchMeGo is built with durability in mind with a highly rugged
Gorilla Glass watch face and a long-lasting 400mAh battery. It is
water-resistant (IP67 rating) so a bit of splashing and regular
hand washing won't affect performance. For more details, visit
