DANVILLE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Everloop, the ground-breaking social media site aimed at kids under 13, has announced EverText, the first-ever real-time moderated SMS feature for kids available across all mobile phones and major carriers. Everloop’s new texting feature will have 24×7 moderation for users, including message filters, account management and live monitors to block bad language, inappropriate conversations or the sharing of too much personal information. Kids can now stay connected on the go with their Everloop friends, and parents can have peace of mind knowing their child’s communications are taking place in a safe, supervised environment.
“Everloop is proud to extend our secure social media platform to include the fastest growing category of technology, mobile devices”
“Everloop is proud to extend our secure social media platform to include the fastest growing category of technology, mobile devices,” said Hilary DeCesare, co-founder and CEO of Everloop. “It is appropriate that this first-to-market offering of EverText be announced during National Cyber Security Awareness Month. With over eight million kids owning a cell phone and being active online, there is great potential for all the same dangers associated with other forms of technology, such as cyber bullying and inappropriate behavior.”

EverText is the first service of its kind to offer a secure, safe, age-appropriate and moderated SMS feature approved by all major mobile carriers and is free to Everloop users. Parents can set limits with EverText to stay within their family’s mobile data plan. EverText also incorporates Everloop’s unmatched three levels of moderation, including patent-pending technology filters, live moderation and user reports of suspicious or inappropriate behavior.
“More and more households are digitally connected and parents are looking for safer solutions for their families,” said Jay Emmet, General Manager of OpenMarket, the leader in integrated intelligent mobile messaging. “We applaud Everloop for creating this real-time moderated texting service that provides kids with a secure way to connect with their family and friends. This is a great example of the innovation that is occurring in the mobile market to support richer personal interactions.”
