Limit data usage

Ok, Chris, thanks for the help 😊

 

If there is somewhere to "upvote" a feature like this I'd happily do it.

 

Clearly this can be done on the backend somewhere since you guys can limit data by amount, and you can also throttle speed.

 

I get it's not easy, believe me 😊 but it'd be a great thing to have.

 

For now then, I'm going to use my Circle with Circle Go to do this. Putting this in not as a plug for Circle, but so that other folks know there's a solution.

Note, if you can get a hold of a product person's ear, I'm willing to pay another company for this service, so it's valuable.

Nuevamente, gracias.

Folks,

 

Looking for a way to block data usage at certain times for my kid. We have unlimited data, and he uses it late into the night.

 

Yes, I know the old fashioned way of taking the phone away would work 😊 , but he stays up later than me and I don't mind that, but I want him in bed by say midnight, and I want to cut off his data usage.

Family Allowances DOES NOT stop data usage as far as I can tell. I already have that turned on.

 

I may have to go back to limited data since at least that would stop him.

 

Barring the above, is there a way to turn off his hotspot/tethering? There seems to be a way for T-Mobile to do this centrally since they can control the data limit for it...

 

¡Gracias de antemano!

BUT with Family Mode the child/teen has to keep his/her VPN on. When it's turned off, Family Mode does not work.
