    That is strange, I was just looking at these last week and they also had tracking watches for kids and elderly people, but they seem to have dropped those from the site now for this launch!

    You can see them here on the UK site:
    https://shop.v.vodafone.com/uk/v-kids-watch
    https://shop.v.vodafone.com/uk/v-sosband

    Might be handy for keeping an eye on the kids.

    Interesting one. I wonder can these be gotten individually - I could put one in an intruder alarm

    More or less electronic tags so. Some nasty implications :(



    Perfect for intruder alarm. Will be one of many happy hunting grounds for V.

    interesting products alright, will certainly check out the sos band for my mother who, although fully fit and able, does now live on her own so would certainly give peace of mind for everybody.

    An alarm would be more m2m than IOT.
