IM-Me keeps your princess safe
Posted on: February 15, 2007

The IM-Me text messenger from Mattel is a wireless texting device that helps keep your little ones safe from online predators who have no conscience whatsoever. Each purchase comes with a RF dongle which is connected to the USB port of a parental computer, enabling your child to text message her circle of friends who have already been added to your address book and are within the dongle range. Sounds pretty restrictive, but it is better to be safe than sorry. Being pink in color, it caters toward the female population more - hopefully Mattel will realize that even boys are preyed upon. The IM-Me will hit store shelves this summer for $64.99 a pop.

omgsh, wat are all of you guys like in 1st grade u sholdn't br texting at all because ur way too young and can't spell for anything. oh, and give it a rest miley cyrus isn't really iming you. Get a life, learn how to spell and go watch barnie or something, all the moms on her re right. i am only 17 and i know wat the moms are talking about, all of you should really listen to ur parents

By taylor , 10/12/07 1:57 PM (CommentID #390132)
this seems like it would be a fun product! and i really wanted one for christmas but i don't think i'm going to get one because it's too expensive and you cant text people out of the range which sux very very much!
By taylor , 10/12/07 1:55 PM (CommentID #390131)

By Me , 09/12/07 3:20 PM (CommentID #389319)
I dont think theres a range... You just have to hook that thing up to the computer and if your friend has it hooked up to the computer then you can talk... its more of an aim thing just hand held.
By Me, thank you very much , 09/12/07 3:14 PM (CommentID #389316)
I really want one. But I have no idea what the range is because if you can only IM in the same house then its pointless.... what is the range?!?!?

This IM Me thing sounds AWESOME! Doesn't the commercial say that it doesn't matter where you are because you can talk to your friend no matter where you are? The bad things? Toooooooo expensive! Does it only come with 1 IM ME per package? G9ood things? Totally awesome way to talk to your friend from far away.I am going to Florida this year so I would like to talk to my friend on it.Post comments on this comment plz.GO KIDS! WE AWESOME!

"MILEY CYRUS" why do you even come on here? You're Famous! I would rather BE being pampered than on the computer. DON'T TAKE THIS THE WRONG WAY, I AM YOUR #1 FAN I JUST HAD THAT QUESTION!!
ANOTHER QUESTION: WHY ARE THE PRICES FOR YOU TICKETS SO HIGH? I KNOW IF YOU BUY THEM FROM TICKETMASTER THEY'RE ONLY LIKE $60 BUT LIKE ON THE INTERNET THEY'RE LIKE ANYTHING FROM 100-1,000 DOLLARS? CAN YOU CONTROL WHAT THE PRICES ARE ON THE INTERNET?
I REALLY WANTED TO GO TO YOUR CONCERT IN MINNIAPPLES, MINNESOTA BUT THE TICKETS COSTED TO MUCH ON THE INTERNET. I WOULD OF WENT IF I COULD OF GOT THEM FROM TICKETMASTER BUT THEY WERE SOLD OUT IN LIKE 5-10 MINUTES.
ANYWAY I SOOOOO WANT THE IM-ME BUT I DO AGREE IT DOES COST ALOT. I MIGHT BE GETTTING A DS FOR CHRISTMAS SO I DON'T THINK I WILL GET IT THEN.

I really want one too. Since I get on the computer a lot, I can get that and spend the computer on less time, I really want an Im-me. But they cost too much. I really wish that they would cost less. More likely $30.00. But I want one anyway.
