Minutes Minder - Family
When Close Isn't Good Enough – Trust ITS

Minutes Minder–Family (MMF) helps parents establish control and manage mobile phone usage for a group of customers typically made up of other family members. Parents can use the solution to limit their children's number of minutes or currency units per month yet still allowing unlimited calls between family members and emergency numbers. Mobile calls, MMS, and SMS messages may be charged to a child's prepay account when allocated postpay minutes are completely exhausted or the currency limit is reached.

Parents that subscribe to the Minutes Minder-Family service can set monthly spending limits for their children's mobile handsets. When this limit is reached children can still use their mobile phone as usual; however, they can only make calls and send SMS messages to a limited set of numbers found on a white list established by their parents. These numbers are normally the numbers of the parents, brothers and sisters, grandparents or other important numbers necessary to ensure a child's safety and protection.

Minutes Minder-Family is a Flexible Online Charging solution designed with parents in mind, hence it attracts new customers. Operators enjoy increased revenues as a result of implementing this service for the benefit of their customers.
