How can I control internet usage if I get an iPhone for my child?
When it comes to web surfing on the O2 Network over GPRS, EDGE, 3G or HSDPA, O2 offers a service called Parental Control. With Parental Control, we can limit the web access (on O2’s network only, not on Wi-Fi) of a mobile phone to a small number of sites that are suitable for young people. We make sure that the providers of these sites moderate any chat rooms they have to make them as safe as possible. Any parent can pick up an iPhone and call the automated service on 61818 and follow the prompts to restrict the device to a small, safe whitelist to child protect a phone.
