Geckolerts

Gecko-lerts are a notification service that let you know about your kid’s Gecko usage. When their usage (the calls they’ve made) reaches a predetermined level:

Approximately,

$9 ex GST on the Bare Bones Plan,

$15 ex GST on the Happy Wallet Plan, and

$25 ex GST on the Rest Easy Plan,

Gecko will send you - the parent - an SMS to your nominated mobile number to let you know. And if and when your kid’s usage reaches the next level:

Approximately,

$19 ex GST on the Bare Bones Plan,

$19.95 ex GST on the Happy Wallet Plan, and,

$29.95 ex GST on the Rest Easy Plan,

we’ll send you another one! (Usually, only one SMS will be sent for each usage threshold.)

You should keep in mind that Gecko-lerts are usually 24-48 hours behind. This is because of the time it takes for calls to appear in the billing system. Gecko-lerts should only be used as an indication, since things like network delays, or system problems and delays in call records can affect their accuracy. Also, if your little cherub makes a lot of calls in a short period of time, it will take a minimum of 24 hours for those calls to appear in the billing system - in which case, it’s possible that they might go over the set levels without a Gecko-lert being generated.

Gecko-lerts are charged at the standard SMS rate of 25c including GST per alert. To set up, you’ll need to supply the mobile number you’d like Gecko-lerts sent to when you submit your Gecko application. Make sure it’s a service that accepts SMS messages (because Gecko mobiles don’t)!!
