See what's up at home on your mobile phone

Working mothers can now keep an eye on their children while they are at work or overseas, thanks to a webcam service by a local telco operator.

M1 – the first telco to launch a Webcam service that is accessible through the mobile phone – declined to reveal the exact take-up rate for this service, although it has seen an increase in the number of subscribers in the last two years. A large majority of its Webcam service customers are professionals, managers, executives and businessmen and women.
