Our company, Eazytrack, has borne the brunt of some criticism from the media because we sell a phone called the Owl. It's an emergency phone with a built-in tracker designed for children, older people and those with disabilities, so they can be located by relatives when necessary.
We launched our phone in November 2004, and in January this year the Stewart report was published. It stated that although there was no evidence to suggest that mobile phones posed a threat to children's health, they should use them as little as possible and for emergencies only.
We totally agree with the recommendations, which is why our phones can only dial five set numbers and do not have any gadgets to encourage heavy usage.
