Mobily launched Mobily Guardian App, described as the first of its kind in the Kingdom, that will provide parents with the ability to control their children’s Android smart phones, in collaboration with Pervasive Group Inc, a specialized international company in mobile applications.

Mobily Guardian App includes premium features that allow parents to have full control over their children’s smart phones. It can locate their child’s phone instantly or periodically using text message commands, set time restrictions to limit usage of the device, enable parents to block, allow and set time limits on selected apps to be used by the child and to monitor text messages for inappropriate language as well as block calls and texts from unwanted contacts and numbers.

The Mobily Guardian App includes premium features that will work under a trial period free of charge for 14 days. After that a monthly subscription of SR15/month or SR99/year will be applied, according to Mobily.

The strategic point of using this app is the assurance of ideal use of smart phones by children, and reduction of the negative impacts that may result from using them. It also allows the parents the chance to determine the content matching the age of their children and to protect them against any inappropriate contents.

Pervasive Group Inc., headquartered in Clifton, NJ, USA, offers the award-winning and patent-pending MMGuardian mobile device family security and protection software, designed to help parents manage and monitor their children’s mobile experience. MMGuardian is a trademark of Pervasive Group Inc.

The launch of this app is a new initiative provided by Mobily to enhance and support the field of applications and to add new solutions in line with the wide spread of smart phones in the Kingdom.
