T-Mobile to Help Parents Control Kids' Cellphone Use

Back to blog

FINALLY! Thanks to a friend I had been speaking to on the phone over the past weekend she informed me of this new feature. I have forever been frustrated by the fact that there were no options to elimate the text messaging feature on my two daughters phones. Unfortunately being locked into a T-Mobile contract and texting is the main problem knowing how much time kids spend texting, what a relief to know that parents can now control when this feature can be used. Definitely being turned off during school hours.
