Bipper is a new safety platform for kids mobile phones created by a mother of three. Bipper puts parents in the driver’s seat when it comes to kids and their mobile use by letting them decide how their kids can use the mobile phone – Some control, lot’s of safety!

Sirma Mobile serves as Bipper’s technology and development partner.

MyBipper

Bipper is developed by parents for parents and we have focused on creating a user-friendly solution. The three main services, Limits, Safety and Location can easily be adminstered from our webportal, myBipper, where parents also can create networks with other parents.myBipper has an attractive design and a simple, self explanatory user interface.
myBipper allows you to administer all of your kids’ mobile phones from one page and since each kid can have two administrators, both mom and dad are able to have their own Bipper profile. Bipper is designed for ease of use in addition to better accommodate families where the parents are divorced.
The myBipper portal is interactive and allows the parents to share contact information about themselves and their kids with each other. Which mom or dad hasn’t been annoyed and frustrated by not being able to locate their kid’s class contact list when needing to find a phone number, or address to deliver a message? Bipper makes it easy for parents to have an overview over people that are involved in their kid’s life (such as friends and their parents) and allows them access to them and easier have a more frequent dialogue.
Since most parents are concerned with their kid’s digital lives and safety, the portal will offer an engaging and informative news page where interesting and exciting articles and reports will be made available. We always keep you informed!

Why Bipper?

Kids are getting younger and younger when they get their first mobile phone. While 12 years was the average age only a few years ago, its now common to see kids as young as 7 years old having mobile phones. Times are changing!
Many parents feel that their kids are safer if they have their own mobile phone. It’s convenient, makes communication easier, provides safety for both adults and kids and simplifies their daily lives. Knowing that your kid can call home if he doesn’t have anyone to walk home from school with, being able to notify your kid that you will be late picking him up from practice or tell your kids to come home for dinner are all examples of this.
At the same, many parents believe its wrong to give their young kids a mobile phone. On one hand, they see the need for safety and simple communication on the other, they feel that mobile phones are not designed for kids. In addition, they worry about the many negative consequences such as contact with strangers, large phone bills and mobile bullying.
Bipper has addressed parents needs when designing this solution. This should come as no surprise since our services have been developed based on our own needs as parents! With Bipper, parents can give their kids a mobile phone knowing that they it will provide the safe and basic communication they are looking for. At the same time, it allows them to activly take part in their kids ”mobile lives” since they can decide how the phone is being used through their own private web-portal, myBipper.

Some control, lot’s of safety!

3 Main Services

BIPPER CONTROL

With Bipper Control parents can easily decide things such as:

• WHO the child can communicate with (calls / texts)
• HOW MUCH the child can call / text per week
• WHEN the child can use the phone

And, yes, you can set different limits for various contacts. While your youngest should be able to reach mom and dad as often as he/she like regardless of time and day, it probably makes sense to set stricter limitations for when he/she can communicate with friends?

BIPPER SAFETY

Bipper Safety is an alarmfunction that the kid easily can activate from the mobile. If the alarm is activated, up to five pre-selected contacts will be called until one answers the phone. All the contacts on the alarm list will also receive a sms informing what time the alarm was activated and a link to a map showing the kid’s location.

BIPPER LOCALIZATION

In addition to receiving an sms with the kids position if the safety alarm is activated, parents may locate their kid based on immediate need or by a regular schedule. The solution is a localizations tool, not a tracking device. It can be used for sporadic positioning, not continous monitoring.
