Sure Gives Families Greater Control Over Digital Life

Sure is making it easier for families to feel in control of their digital lives, with a new plan to help parents manage safe access to devices and connectivity. 

The new pay monthly plan, ‘Basic Sharer’, includes unlimited calls and SMS messages but not mobile data.

The plan is £12.50 a month and provides an option for parents who want their children to be connected so they can stay in touch, but not have internet access. 

Greater Control

Mike Fawkner-Corbett, Sure’s Acting Chief Commercial Officer, explained why this is so important:  

“We’re all living increasingly digital lives and while that brings lots of benefits it also comes with challenges – especially for young people navigating the online world.

“Working with movements like Smartphone Free Childhood has highlighted how much our community cares about online safety. We see it as our responsibility to support families with the tools and guidance they need.”  

Digital Journey

Sure’s range of handsets includes the Nokia 110 – an ideal phone for those who just want calls and SMS – and smartphones from Samsung and Apple that come with parental controls built in.

These options help parents and carers guide their child’s digital journey and offer flexibility and a sense of control for families. 

“It is all about giving families options – we want to put the power in their hands so they can decide how their kids engage with the online world,” said Mike.

“And with that comes the peace of mind that only informed decisions can bring.” 

Sure also has dedicated online resources including easy-to-follow guides to using parental controls and safety features across Apple and Android devices, as well as home routers – so families can manage safety at home and on the go.  

“At Sure we take online safety seriously, but also know each family is different. Our role is to provide the right tools and the support so people can make the choices that work for them,” said Mike. 

Families can explore the new resources and get support by visiting Sure’s website, calling the team at 07624 247247, or visiting Sure’s Strand Street store.
