Re: Limit data usage
This is the most common thread on the subject of family allowances for well over a year now. It's almost a useless feature to be able to restrict phone usage when it doesn't apply to data. The home wifi is restricted for the kids to not be able to use it late hours. But they can just transition over to TMO data. You are probably aware that your competitor who's name starts with an A and ends with a T has a far more flexible "SmartLimits" feature. It costs a few bucks per month, but well worth it to keep the kids off the phone when they should be sleeping for school the next day..... I honestly don't know how TMO can justify a "Family Allowances" feature that completely ignores data usage in this day and age.15Visto9likes0ComentariosRe: Limit data usage
As parents we are ultimately responsible. if the kids are eating too many cookies, we take the cookie jar away. If they are playing Xbox too much, we take away the controller(s). If they watch too much TV, we take it away. If they're using the phone when they shouldn't be, we should take it away as well. But my beef with this TMO Family Allowance feature is that it is essentially useless in the smartphone age when cellular data is 90% (or more) of the phone's usage profile. And yet, your the family allowance "feature" does not have any means to limit cellular data.3Visto1like0Comentarios
