SkieIs there an SOS button on my child's phone or tablet?
Yes. Skie includes an SOS button that calls the emergency number you have set and sends your child's location to your dashboard. On a phone with a SIM it places the call. A Wi-Fi-only tablet cannot place a normal phone call, so check what your setup supports.
Skie's SOS button is meant for the moment a child feels unsafe and does not want to scroll through a phone book. A single press calls the emergency number saved for that child, and the child's position is available to you on the dashboard.
You choose the number, so it can be a parent, a relative or whichever contact you want the child to reach first. Outgoing calls can be switched off for other numbers if you wish. The SOS flow is separate from that choice.
The call needs a way to be placed. A phone with an active SIM and balance is fine. A Wi-Fi-only tablet has no cellular calling, so it depends on what calling apps are installed and allowed. The family keeps its own carrier, since Skie does not include a mobile plan or SIM.
Make sure your child understands what the button is. Do a practice press together, say that it is not a toy, and agree what you will do when you receive it. Children who only discover the button on the worst day can freeze.
Compared with kids smartwatches such as Xplora, which are built around a SOS key and a SIM, Skie does not add hardware. It puts the same kind of button on a phone or tablet the family already owns.
