AT&T* has added a new browsing limits feature to AT&T Smart Limits for Wireless™ that lets parents set additional parameters around their children's access to the mobile Internet by assigning a monetary or a megabyte or gigabyte usage limit.
AT&T Smart Limits for Wireless is a Web-based suite of tools that gives subscribers flexibility in managing their children's mobile phone experience. AT&T is the first major carrier to offer usage ceilings for mobile Web browsing as part of its parental controls lineup. In addition to surfing the Internet, popular tasks such as updating a social networking profile and downloading a game require a connection to the mobile Web.
Limits can be adjusted at any time. For example, parents can allocate a certain number of megabytes for mobile Web use but offer to increase it for a child who completes household chores on time or improves his or her grades.
AT&T Smart Limits for Wireless also gives parents the ability to:
Establish times of day the phone can be used for mobile Web browsing, messaging and outbound calls.
Filter access to Internet content that is inappropriate for children.
Define the number of text and instant messages allowed.
Block or allow calls or texts to or from certain numbers (incoming and outgoing).
Limit downloadable purchases such as ringtones, games, graphics and other content to a certain dollar amount.
AT&T Smart Limits for Wireless is available for $4.99 a month per line to AT&T wireless customers who subscribe to a postpaid rate plan.
