Why dont parental controls work?
I'm using the new T-life app and the parental controls do nothing. I have a schedule set for a device but the connection is never blocked. Also I tried to block access and the command failed; I got an error message like "block connection failed." I tried restarting modem and reinstalling app. I just get an error message when I try to adjust the device connections.
Need to turn off Data at night for kids phones
Family Allowances does not work for modern phones. FamilyMode is too reliant on a app to install on a child phone, that can be quickly bypassed in several ways. Turn off VPN, Turn off/on ScreenTime, etc. Is the only option really to manually switch the account from Magenta to No Data for multiple lines? I would gladly pay for FamilyMode if it even worked correctly. All I want to do, is turn off Data for 12am-6am at night.
Parental controls "Medium" doesn't enable DuckDuckGo SafeSearch
Hello, parental controls "Medium" safety level is described this way: "Includes everything below inLowand enables SafeSearch, an automated filter that helps keep pornography and other offensive content out of Google, YouTube, Bing, and DuckDuckGo search results." In my testing, the SafeSearch is indeed enabled for Google, YouTube, and Bing. But DuckDuckGo continues to allow unrestricted viewing of image results that many parents would want to protect their children from. Is there an expected fix for this problem?
Allowable Calls
We have an adult son with Special Needs. We supply him with a phone, and we only allow him to have it to communicate with 10 people allowed with T-mobiles ALLOWED number feature. This way he can call family, but not unsafe people, such as drug dealers. He has no internet on the phone. Anyway, he is finally at the point where he is starting to want to call people on the phone, and wants to talk to family members and friends that are not in his 10 Allowed phone numbers. Can we add 10 more? Can we have 20 Allowed numbers for his phone? We want to support him in communicating with healthy people. If you don't currently have the possibility for 20 allowed numbers, can you make that for people in our situation? Please answer me. I am not always T-mobile site. So please answer me on my email, which is bardsleyclant@comcast.net. Thanks,Debbi
Limiting Phone Usage
Hello to all, I have been having troubles with finding out how to stop all usage of all in phone apps, safari, face time calls and texting. I am curious how to limit who can call/text/facetime? Also, how to stop the usage of all apps currently downloaded to the phone?? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. On a side note, How do I accept the terms and policy for the cookies within the T-Mobile website? I cannot log in to my profile on my PC??Help with kids allowance
whats is the best way to monitor my child's phone? She has been on apps that she should not be using. I have currently taken away her phone but don't like that she gets home from school and has no phone ( we canceled the landline). I need to pretty much cut off all usage of the phone other than phone calls.
