Mr Moderator: Please remove. This was all about nothing

This information is wrong and was mistakenly published on Verizon Wireless website

This little watch is made for smaller children and to help parents know where they are at all times. It has games and you can program it to call a few specific numbers. Other than that I don't know much more about it.

I just ordered one for my 8-year-old granddaughter and set it up. The thing costs me $129 plus $40 setup fee and an additional $5/mo plus tax. If you're a good talker you may get the $40 waived.

The thing comes with 15 Gb of hotspot data, which I didn't expect.

If you are already a Verizon customer and looking to add hotspot capacity I don't think I've seen anything cheaper for 15 Gb of hotspot data per month, after you've swallowed the $169 to get it going.

    Forget the whole thing.

    I called to add another Gizmo to my account. I got an apology that this was stated as a feature for the Gizmo. It is not actually capable of acting as a hotspot.

    The agent promised to get this misinformation fixed.

    Sounds like you copied professional add. I haven't actually seen the thing yet. She doesn't get to open it until Christmas, when the big guy comes calling.

    I was just attracted by the 15 Gb of hotspot data it gives you for $5/month + tax, of course.

    I'm thinking about buying another one and lowering the plans on my other two phones. After swallowing the upfront cost I can save about $15/month.

    I don't know. I would think it would be waterproof since it's a watch made for kids. I won't even see what's the box until Christmas when she opens it. I would think you could investigate it if you're really interested.

    Edit: After checking the website it says waterproof up to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes.
