Verizon, AT&T and WQNI to Deploy Retail Pilot Program Offering RatedSafe(TM) Child Protection and Parental-Notification Mobil...
15 February 2012 - 12:00AM
WQN Inc. (OTCPK:WQNI), a leading online security software provider
of mobile phone applications protecting children from sexual
predators, cyber-bullies, and texting-related car crashes,
announced a retail pilot program agreement with AT&T-authorized
dealers to offer WQNI's acclaimed RatedSafeTM child-protection and
parental-notification mobile phone application to AT&T mobile
phone customers.
WQNI's RatedSafeTM mobile phone application is an advanced
parental-control mobile phone application provisioned and activated
with a child's mobile phone account, enabling parents to protect
children from offensive or predatory communications, and alerting
parents to potentially dangerous conditions involving children
performing mobile phone texting while driving.
WQNI, Verizon and AT&T have agreed to deploy the retail
point-of-sale pilot program through Verizon AT&T-authorized
dealers, offering WQNI's RatedSafeTM application to AT&T mobile
phone customers seeking parental-protection tools to monitor their
children's mobile phone activities.
"WQNI's RatedSafeTM mobile phone application is a parental power
tool that helps parents keep their kids safe—and also helps parents
become better parents," said WQN Inc. CEO Michael Adler. "Customers
of Verizon and AT&T-authorized dealers across North America
will be soon be able to activate RatedSafeTM to screen and filter
antisocial or threatening text messages received by their children,
and be notified when their children are texting in a moving
vehicle."
RatedSafeTM automatically blocks any kind of pornographic ads on
a child's mobile phone Internet browser, and triggers email alerts
to parents when their child receives a suspicious, offensive
threading, or sexually explicit text message, including sending the
parent an email containing the entire dialog of the text messages
in question. Using mobile phone-embedded GPS technology,
RatedSafeTM also triggers e-mail alerts to parents if a teen-driven
vehicle exceeds the posted speed limit by more than 11 mph, and can
automatically disable wireless Internet and text messaging
communications while the teen is driving an automobile.
"We are very excited and look forward to the Web Safety product
rolling out across all AT&T dealers," says John David, a
participating AT&T-authorized dealer. "I believe that AT&T
customers will be eager to add this enhanced level of parental
protection, and children will come to value it for the peace of
mind it gives their family, as well."
The Verizon & AT&T RatedSafeTM pilot program is
scheduled for a Q2 2012 launch. Participating Verizon &
AT&T-authorized dealers will receive RatedSafeTM marketing
collateral and merchandising material for retail point-of-sale
distribution offering a 30 day FREE version of the bundled app,
training materials detailing the benefits of the RatedSafeTM
child-protection and parental-notification application, and
employee incentive programs to promote and encourage RatedSafeTM
activations.
