Hey, all! We're going through older posts with this feedback and making sure that everyone gets a chance to take a peek at our new family program, FamilyMode, launching today 6/29. You can read our blog about it here and learn more in the Resources list at the bottom: https://support.t-mobile.com/community/community/news-updates/blog/2018/06/27/meet-t-mobile-familymode-the-digital-ally-parents-need -- thank you for sharing your opinions with us!
I came here looking for info about this feature. We just changed from Simple Choice with 6G data per line to T-Mobile One because our son in college is living in a house with no Wifi and needs to be able to use his phone as a hotspot. It didn't really occur to me until after I made the switch, what problems it would create with our 16 year old. When he was limited to 6G data, he was careful about his phone use. We have our Wifi set to shut off at 9:30, so he was basically forced to put his phone away shortly after that or risk using up all his data before the month was out. The Family Allowance feature is not at all what we need. Installing an app on HIS phone to control it -- anyone who knows teens at all knows this is a joke. I would like to be able to go in and cap his data allowance at 6G. Why is that not possible?? I have an Xfinity app on my phone that allows me to go in and edit the sleep/wake times for his devices on Wifi. Surely, T-Mobile can introduce the same thing?
