Take a closer look at the Migo's functions.

Design
With a kid-friendly design, the Migo makes a great little sidekick for all your child's adventures. As far as cell phones go, it doesn't get much simpler than the Migo. The small, oval-shaped device weighs just over two ounces and features a small (96 x 32) monochrome, blue-backlit screen and two bug-like antennae. Below the screen, there's no dialpad, just call, send, and end keys and four shortcut dialing keys, which parents can set so that kids can call with a single button press. An emergency key is placed between the shortcut keys, which can also be set to call any number parents choose (it is preprogrammed to dial 911). Volume control keys are provided on the left side of the phone, and there's a jack for a standard wired headset.

Calling Features
Because the Migo is geared for kids, simplicity is the name of the game. As mentioned, the phone makes it easy for kids to call Mom and Dad at the touch of a button. And for safety, the Migo allows parents to strictly control outgoing calls, as the phone can only dial one of four preset numbers (plus the number assigned to the emergency key). These parental settings are protected by a code, so once the Migo's phone book is programmed, it cannot be changed (unless the code is entered). Parents can also program specific ringtones to correspond with up to four incoming callers, as well as caller ID text for each of these callers. Missed calls are displayed on the phone display. The Migo keeps things fun with ten great ringtones, and there's also a vibrate ringer mode. Last but not least, the Migo features a speakerphone so kids can talk hands-free.

Note that the Migo does not support voice mail, Verizon's Get It Now download service, Web browsing, or sending and receiving text messages.

Just for Fun
The Migo is built to be accessorized. The phone features a hook for use with colorful wrist straps, carabiners (backpack clips), and other accessories. The Migo also comes with fun stickers for decorating its case.
