AT&T Smart Limits will enable parents to keep a tab on the mobile usage of their kids.
In a company statement AT&T said: “We were certainly hearing from parents who were dismayed at overuse of text or phones. We want to find a way for kids to use phones without having to take the phone away.”
The new service will be offered to their customers as a $4.99 per line add-on named AT&T’s Smart Limits.
It will be available to AT&T Customers without a contract so it can be enabled or disabled at will. It will provide several different functionalities including: call blocking, hour limits to text message etc. Web specific settings will be available as well.
Emergency calls to 911 would remain active all the time, as mandated my law.
Unfortunately, the service will have limited functionality on advanced phones like the Apple iPhone as they ship with independent browser and are capable of accessing the web using wi-fi.
