The Firefly is a cell phone marketed and sold by Cingular specifically for young children. It appears to be solely for use by kids to contact their Moms and Dads, and a third number that is programmed at your discretion. There's a Mommy button (silhouette of a woman, like on a restroom door) and a Daddy button (same concept) and pushing these buttons automatically speed dials those respective parents, and the third button can be configured to any other number you choose. I am not sure if the phone can receive incoming calls, or maybe incoming calls are restricted only to the parents. Let me go look it up.
Sorry, it's five numbers, not three. Let me just cut and paste here:
Phone review: Firefly Phone with Cingular Plan: the first phone created for kids and their safety is now available with any Cingular Wireless plan. The Firefly cell phone features 5 keys only, two of which are dedicated to call mom and dad, making extremely easy for your child to call either parent if in need. The central button displays a 20 entry phonebook which can be preprogrammed by parents. By using a parental PIN, this feature allows parents to control who their children are talking to and it will help controlling the monthly minutes allowance as well. On the right end side of the phone there is an easy access 911 operator assistance button. The phone also has a caller ID display and probably the best feature of all, the phone automatically rejects any phone call not originating from the 20 pre-programmed numbers. The phone has the universal 2.5mm headset jack allowing a large selection among cell phone earbuds and headsets. The phone can use interchangeable faceplates which allow style customization, a must among kids. It comes with 12 pre-loaded ring tones, 7 screen colors and 5 animated graphics. Kids love it and parents feel more secure.
