e& UAE unveils Kids SIM Card
And Parental Control Service
e& UAE has introduced its Kids SIM Card and Parental Control Service, which are designed to provide a secure online experience for children in the UAE. The new offering aims to safeguard children’s digital activities while ensuring their connectivity and access to educational content.
The Kids SIM Card allows children to stay connected and learn safely. It is available in two flexible plans, offering local minutes, unlimited data access, and free data specifically for educational content. The card also allows parents to restrict outgoing calls to selected numbers, providing an additional layer of security. The Kids SIM Card can be obtained through the e& UAE app.
Alongside the SIM card, e& UAE has launched the Parental Control Service, a comprehensive tool for parents to monitor and manage their children’s online activities. The service includes content filtering to block inappropriate websites and apps, screen time management to set daily device limits, and social media monitoring to track children’s interactions on popular platforms.
Parents can also access detailed reports to review browsing histories and app usage. Additionally, the service includes built-in cybersecurity features to protect children from online threats such as malware.
Khaled Elkhouly, Chief Consumer Officer at e& UAE, emphasised the importance of these tools in the digital age: “The launch of the Kids SIM Card and Parental Control Service is crucial, as it provides parents with the necessary tools to ensure safe browsing for their children amidst the growing exposure to digital content.”
The Parental Control Service is provided free with the Kids SIM Card. Alternatively, parents can subscribe separately for AED30 monthly, with a one-month free trial available. The Kids SIM Card plans, including the free Parental Control Service, are priced at AED49 and AED99 monthly.
