Having an 0800 number for safety

Posted: Nov 06, 2008 | Category: Home Safety

The world is changing at a relentless pace and for parents it must be a worrying place. Just look at the UK and how much knife crime has increased in the last 24 months.

Children all seem to have the very latest gadgets, so is it any wonder they are targets for criminals? One idea that I have thought about is parents possibly giving their children an emergency 0800 number to use?

As a parent, you know that at any time of day your child get hold of you via this 0800 number should they be facing an emergency of some description. Now I am not saying that having an 0800 number will save a life, but you never know when it may be needed or indeed used.

I Personally have an 0800 number that I give it to those closest to me. I know that at any time they can call me without any problems. Safety or money? I know where my preference lies any day of the week.

    This is so cool. I wonder when it will be adapted here in the Phil. It will be a sort of 911 of my child.

    I’d suggest using
    0800MUMDAD (Reverse calls to mobiles)
    0800REVERSE (Reverse calls to home phones)
    But when it asks for your name say “It’s [NAME], call me”, like:
    “It’s Alex, call me”

    A lot of my friends do this to me so I can call them back when they need me, for example when they are out of credit.
