Dialog unveils child-friendly and safety solution

Stay close and stay connected to your beloved children no matter where they are with Dialog Suraksha, an easy-to-use mobile safety device, designed and developed especially for kids and their loving parents. 

With Suraksha, incoming and outgoing calls on the device are restricted to four individual contacts specified by the parents or the child’s guardians, whilst it is also armed with a one-touch SOS dial button that can be used at a time of emergency. Suraksha has no SMS facility, GPRS or internet connectivity, and it also serves as a tracking device allowing parents to view the location of their children via a simple SMS, to ensure they are safe. 

Parents can control all activity over the Suraksha device from anywhere easily via the Dialog Self Care App, including number assignment, restriction and location tracking. Parents can also receive automatic notifications when the battery is low on power, and even when it reaches low credit. The Dialog Self Care App is available on Google Play for Android and the Apple App Store for iPhones. Parents have complete control over their child’s communications via the Suraksha device, and it serves as a valuable and easy-to-use safe calling device. In addition the Suraksha device cannot be turned off by the child, which too can only be done by the parent.

Suraksha was developed by Sri Lanka’s premier telecommunications service provider, Dialog Axiata PLC, to help build a safety net for parents and children all over the country, given the rising number of incidents of violence against children. The device is affordable and easy to use, and is available at Dialog Customer Care Centres island-wide. 

“Violence against children in Sri Lanka poses a grave concern and as responsible citizens and parents it is our duty to ensure the safety of our future generations. Dialog took on the responsibility of developing a safety device, which provides parents, guardians and children all across Sri Lanka the flexibility and reach to stay connected to their loved ones no matter where they are. Suraksha is merely a step in what must be a concerted and national effort to combat child abuse in Sri Lanka, and Dialog will lend its fullest support towards this cause,” says Dialog Axiata PLC Group Chief Marketing Officer Amali Nanayakkara. 

Dialog Suraksha devices are available island wide at just Rs. 4,990 and can also be obtained under Dialog’s Lesi Pay scheme in instalments. Parents have complete control over the device, and the predefined settings can only be changed by the parent or guardian via SMS, USSD #543#, IVR or the Dialog Selfcare Application.
