Shopping for a cell phone is getting really scary - there are SO many features and apps to keep spending money on, it’s gotta be a large chunk of business. The latest feature from Verizon is an electronic leash! “Chaperone” uses the GPS capabilities of newer phones to maintain a locator system that the parent can manage from a web browser, and receive notifications when the child enters or leaves a designated area. $9.99 a month seems reasonable, but it’s unclear whether that’s one charge for each phone or the whole family. “Chaperone only works as intended for your family when the phone is powered on” - what teenager wouldn’t accidentally turn it off when leaving the designated area?!
