I dont think people would really use it as a monitor.. would they ??

I was trying to be neutral when I asked for opinions but thought it was a bit crazy. I did start the thread before finishing the program and fair go did say that it wouldn't be wise to put a cell phone that close to the babies head at the end of the program. ]]> Thu, 03 Jun 2010 19:09:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33829&PID=1052437&title=mobile-phone-baby-monitor-idea#1052437 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33829&PID=1052133&title=mobile-phone-baby-monitor-idea#1052133 Author: Daizy

I used to do it with a regular phone It was never by her head just in the room and I could hear her fine. We would do it occasionally if I had to pop over to my parents ( a few meters across the back yard) I could see right into her room too so it was no different to her being at the other end of the house.]]> Thu, 03 Jun 2010 15:26:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33829&PID=1052133&title=mobile-phone-baby-monitor-idea#1052133 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33829&PID=1052115&title=mobile-phone-baby-monitor-idea#1052115 Author: MrsEmma

How on earth do people think of these things.. I think it's a ridiculous idea using phones as a monitor!!

The capped plan is only for pre-paid customers which is a bit odd, there's always one person that ruins if for everyone!]]> Thu, 03 Jun 2010 15:16:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33829&PID=1052115&title=mobile-phone-baby-monitor-idea#1052115 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33829&PID=1052047&title=mobile-phone-baby-monitor-idea#1052047 Author: High9

Ah bestmate that makes sense!

I thought they changed it to 100 mins calling not 1000??

Dp and I used to have best mate when we first got together, was great for long convos lol

You could place the phone on the other side of the room though and it would work, like how you can hear people in the background in calls iygwim?]]> Thu, 03 Jun 2010 14:35:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33829&PID=1052047&title=mobile-phone-baby-monitor-idea#1052047 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33829&PID=1051983&title=mobile-phone-baby-monitor-idea#1051983 Author: Febgirl

I thought it was quite clever but surely it would drain your phone so much you'd be constantly charging it up?

Also I'm pretty sure Fair Go just showed the phone next to the baby's head to illustrate what people were supposedly doing, I seriously doubt anyone would actually stick a cell phone in a cot. ]]> Thu, 03 Jun 2010 13:49:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33829&PID=1051983&title=mobile-phone-baby-monitor-idea#1051983 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33829&PID=1051950&title=mobile-phone-baby-monitor-idea#1051950 Author: princesspumpkin

I saw it, someone was apparently using their bestmate unlimited calling as a baby monitor . Goodness knows if it actually happened or was some kind or urban myth, they also said some people wouls stay on the line late at night with their boy/girlfriends, then fall asleep & stay on the line all night!!

Vodafone are capping it at 1000 minutes & 1000 txts per month to stop people abusing the plan!]]> Thu, 03 Jun 2010 13:32:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33829&PID=1051950&title=mobile-phone-baby-monitor-idea#1051950 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33829&PID=1051674&title=mobile-phone-baby-monitor-idea#1051674 Author: High9

What's this? I didn't see it!! By the sounds of it though I don't think I would either... How would it work? Wouldn't it cost you money?? ]]> Thu, 03 Jun 2010 10:13:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33829&PID=1051674&title=mobile-phone-baby-monitor-idea#1051674 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33829&PID=1051667&title=mobile-phone-baby-monitor-idea#1051667 Author: freckle

That seems madness! wouldn't it be MUCH cheaper to just use monitors. I didn't see it but there is no way I'd be putting a mobile phone next to a babies head... I try to discourage my 13 year from talking on her phone as I don't like the idea of her developing brain being exposed for long periods of time. Luckily she mainly texts as can't afford phone calls... ]]> Thu, 03 Jun 2010 10:09:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33829&PID=1051667&title=mobile-phone-baby-monitor-idea#1051667 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33829&PID=1051663&title=mobile-phone-baby-monitor-idea#1051663 Author: HoneybunsMa

I saw that too! No way would I put a mobile phoned by my babys head for hours on end - how would do that? And wouldnt it be cheaper to buy a baby monitor rather than another mobile phone?]]> Thu, 03 Jun 2010 10:03:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33829&PID=1051657&title=mobile-phone-baby-monitor-idea#1051657 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33829&PID=1051317&title=mobile-phone-baby-monitor-idea#1051317 Author: kiwi2

Just wondering if anyone knows anyone who does this. I saw it on fair go and was concerned that a mobile phone by the babies head might be a bit of a worry with the whole radiation thing.

Whats your thoughts?

I spose you could just put it in the room with baby and not like fair go who put it in the babies cot right by the babies head. ]]> Wed, 02 Jun 2010 21:25:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33829&PID=1051317&title=mobile-phone-baby-monitor-idea#1051317
