Orange Romania Launches SaferPhone - The Complete Solution That Makes a Child's First Phone Experience Safe

Orange has launched in Romania a complete and responsible connectivity solution for children, which includes a subscription, a phone with an installment-plan, protection, and a parental filter. This is especially suited as your child's first phone. SaferPhone offers parents and children the tools necessary for safer phone use, while children benefit from additional online protection. It includes Orange Cybersecure, the cybersecurity solution that combines device-level protection with network-level protection. The new package is part of the responsible technology consumption initiative, #ForGoodConnections. The platform provides parents and children with educational resources to navigate the digital world more safely, and now also includes this solution for children and teenagers.

Support for a Key Moment

SaferPhone is designed for parents preparing their child's first smartphone, who want to protect them from online dangers and digital temptations, while also covering their connectivity needs. This is a key moment in the life of any child today, and the new service supports the sensitive step of buying a child's first phone.

The package comes with a Fun subscription, which includes 10 GB of national Everyday 5G internet, unlimited national and EEA minutes and SMS, an EEA roaming internet limit of 9.02 GB, and 100 international minutes. The Fun subscription costs 6 EUR/month through the Orange Family offer or 7 EUR/month in the standard version. The new service package also comes with a selection of smartphones on installment plans, available in Orange stores. Thus, there are sufficient resources to ensure communication as well as parents' peace of mind, while remaining limited enough to offer a balanced experience.

Protection for Children and the Whole Family

The SaferPhone experience offers a free 2-month trial of the Orange Cybersecure solution, at a cost of €4/month after the testing period. It provides complete protection for the entire family, both on devices and directly within the network.

The most important benefits of Orange Cybersecure for children and families are:

• Active shield on the Orange network - Warns about and automatically stops phishing, malware, and virus attempts directly from the Orange network, on phones and WiFi networks.
• Total content filtering and blocking - Restricts access according to filters set by the parent, blocking sites and apps unsuitable for the child's age through customized filters in the app.
• Screen time control - Clear break schedules can be set for school and sleep, limiting daily device use.

Extended Tools for a Safer Digital Experience

Orange SaferPhone is part of the #ForGoodConnections commitment to a safer and more balanced digital environment, complementing educational resources and support for parents and children with a concrete solution integrated into the Orange offer: a child's first smartphone now comes not only with internet access, but also with tools that help parents set up a safer, more balanced digital experience from the very start.

The #ForGoodConnections program is a platform for children and parents that promotes digital balance. The program offers dedicated resources for preventing and identifying cyberbullying and for finding a balance between the offline and online worlds. How much time can a child spend online? What should they do if they encounter inappropriate content? How can you help them build healthy digital habits? How do you maintain an open dialogue with them about time spent online? A child's smartphone comes with many questions. The SaferPhone service and #ForGoodConnections resources help them use technology responsibly.
