     Ignore No More is an app that has been featured by several news outlets as of late.  It allows parents to remotely lock their kid's phones is  preset number of calls or text messages go unanswered by their children.  Once the parent decides to lock down their kid's phone after getting no response, the kid's device will only be allowed to make phone calls to numbers that are saved in the "In Case of Emergency" contact list, which is where the parent's number must be stored.  Once the kid stops ignoring the parent, the parent can then remotely unlock the kid's phone.  Based on the reading I've done, the app doesn't sound perfect, but it does raise the question of how many of you out there are looking for and/or would use an app like this? Chime in below, and read more about this app

Eh, if your kid isn't answering their phone maybe you should just take it away, or have a talk with them on when they be checking in, or whatever.

 

I don't have kids, but if you're going to give kids cell phones, there should be some reasonable rules.

Agreed. My oldest isn't always the best about answering the phone either, but it's easy enough to take it away. A cell phone for a kid is far from a necessity imvho.

Leave Grandma outta this. She's rocking a G2 and she's in no mood to share with a know-it-all brat.
