My Mobile Watchdog is a new safety service aimed at parents so that they can monitor their child’s mobile phone usage. It allwos them to receive instant alerts about unsafe activity, including cyber bullying and contact with unknown (numbers) people. According to the Australian Communications and Media Authority, 22 per cent of girls and 15 per cent of boys aged between eight and 11 own a mobile phone.

However most children are not content with just a run-of-the-mill handset, and demand the latest technology that gives immediate access to the internet. This usage is often unsupervised and can create a form of social underground that many parents don’t know exists.

My Mobile Watchdog logs and stores copies of all mobile phone activity, including text messages, phone calls, e-mails, picture messages.

The service was recently launched in Australia and has received quite a bit of publicity. It costs $14.95 per month and comes with unlimited alerts to your nominated email accounts and full access to the My Mobile Watchdog website.  Parents can access their e-mail at any time to see if alerts have been sent regarding unauthorised or unapproved contact with their child’s mobile phone.
