Hop-on, Inc. today launched a GPS tracking phone for children that kids wear like a wristwatch. Called the Chitter Chatter phone, they claim it is the world’s smallest GSM / Enhanced Location-Based-Services(LBS) Locator Phone. The Chitter Chatter phone will cost less than $50 and it will simply use the Internet or any phone with SMS capabilities to quickly identify the location of the device within 300+ feet, in approximately 1 minute.
The ChitterChatter Phone allows kids to stay in touch with close family and friends, or send their location by pressing the one-touch star button, while letting parents manage costs. The phone also features a speaker function. Dick Tracy would be proud!

Cool idea, nice price point, but I have yet to see a new product announcement from Hop-On actually materialize. The last one was the $40 WIFI VOIP Phone they were bringing to market that has, up until now, remained vaporware.
WHERE DO YOU BUY THIS PHONE ANYWAY???
Nice solution, nice price, but ugly product. How in the world do you expect a 13 year old boy to wear that. It's a great solution for pre-schoolers, but once kids start going to school they'll stop wearing that.
Good after noon
i wold like to know, more about this product, witch is price and where to buy.
i´m form portugal, and i want to know if you are avayable to export to a company here who wonts distribut here and spain.
best regars

Where do you buy this phone?
When can I get one? My daughter is recovering with cancer and I would really like to get this for her. And give me peace of mind. Please help!
Hi can you tell me where i can buy a Chitter Chatter GPS tracking phone for kids
and how much are they please. many thanks Martin jones.
When is this coming out? Hopefully they have colors for boys as well. My son would not wear the color shown.
When my mom finally decided to take that plum posting as a Divisional Head, I knew I was in trouble. Her office hours stretched way beyond my school hours. And anyway, I was privy to the many discussions my parents had about ‘Honey, what do we do with the kids?’ Well, finally they struck gold - an educational after school program. Won’t that be just grand? Kids are learning new things while parents are happily minting greenbacks!
Hi, where can I buy this phone? Thanks!
