Data-free pack aims to limit children's phone use20 hours agoShareSaveJulia GregoryBBC News,loteria federal 26/04/2016 GuernseyShareSaveYui Mok/PAThe phone bundle limits access to the internet and appsA Guernsey telecoms provider is launching a new data-free package to help parents control their children's access to the digital world.Sure said its new Basic Sharer bundle with unlimited calls and text messages, but no mobile data, was designed so children could stay in touch without internet access.The company's acting chief commercial officer Mike Fawkner-Corbett said whilst the digital world had benefits "it also comes with challenges – especially for young people navigating the online world".Smartphone Free Childhood Guernsey wants children to stop using phones altogether until the age of 14 and for the Bailiwick to follow Jersey's ban on mobile phones at its schools and colleges. Mr Fawkner-Corbett said campaigns "highlighted how much our community cares about online safety". He added: "It is all about giving families options – we want to put the power in their hands so they can decide how their kids engage with the online world."Access to digital services on the plan is limited to wi-fi at locations such as home or school, Sure said.The company added this meant parents and carers "have greater ability to manage and monitor online activity" through parental controls on devices Android and the home routers it provided.The move was welcomed by Victoria Falla, from Smartphone Free Childhood Guernsey.She said: "In a world where data is a commodity, offering a plan that prioritises simple connection is a refreshingly responsible move."Telecomms firm JT also offers a talk-and-text only option called the Doro phone, which has no data capability.The telecomms firm said it works with schools, community groups and families to encourage responsible digital habits.In July, the new president of the committee for education, sport and culture, deputy Paul Montague, told the BBC the committee needed to "look carefully at what a ban means" but thought "a community led smartphone ban" was initially needed for primary-aged children.More news stories for GuernseyListen to the latest news for GuernseyFollow BBC Guernsey on X and Facebook and Instagram.
