The HMD Fuse protected with HarmBlock+ available on Three UK

The new HMD Fuse protected with HarmBlock+ is now available on Three, the UK’s Fastest 5G Network*. Customers can pick up the new HMD device from £23 a month (£30 upfront cost).

The HMD Fuse features Harmblock AI, a first of its kind on-device AI technology that helps prevent explicit content being seen, created or shared. Alongside this ground-breaking new AI technology, the HMD Fuse also comes with a number of key features, making it a great option for parents who are considering a device for their child:

• A Phone that grows – The HMD Fuse is built to grow with a child. Unlike other child smartphones or other adult smartphones, customers can adjust the rules and boundaries for their child and adapt them as they grow up.
• All protection on by default – once HMD Fuse is linked to the parental device during setup, all protections are on by default. There’s no online access, no socials, no app store, and adding contacts requires approval, essentially starting as a brick phone.
• AI + Privacy – HarmBlock features a totally pre-trained, self-contained AI protection against explicit content. It doesn’t collect, share or ingest user data.
• Contact Whitelisting – Only phone calls and SMS chats with pre-approved phone numbers are enabled. If unknown individuals try to call or text, they simply won’t get through.
• Live Location Tracking – Customers can monitor their child’s whereabouts in real time, with location updates every 24 seconds. This is turned on for 30-minute intervals, so it won’t drain the battery. It also remains tracking after that in the background (at longer intervals).
• Customisable Safe Zones – Set up to 10 designated safe areas and receive alerts when your child enters or leaves these zones.
• Location History – Access a three-day history of your child’s movements to retrace their steps when needed (tracked every 5-minutes).

HMD Fuse can be purchased from £23 per month, plus £30 upfront cost. Price based on a 36-month device plan (£13 per month) and ‘Lite’ Three Your Way 24-month airtime plan with 30GB data plus unlimited calls and texts each month (£10 per month for the first 12 months with Three’s ‘12 months half price’ deal, followed by £10.63 on 1 Apr 26 & £22.50 on 1 Apr 27).  To order the new HMD device visit www.three.co.uk/shop/phones/hmd-fuse
