Do you offer any kind of parental control?

Yes! We offer Web Guard, a free feature that helps you manage and filter the content accessible on specific lines. This is a great tool for families who want to ensure their children have a safer online experience.

Web Guard Filtering Levels
You can choose from three levels of protection based on the age of the user:

LOW (Young Adults):
  • Safe Search is Disabled
Filtering examples:
  • Phishing Attacks, Malware, Command, and Control Callbacks, Web Spam, Proxy / Anonymizer, Potentially Harmful Domains
  • Adult themes, Nudity, Sexuality, Pornography, Tasteless, Child Abuse Content
  • Hacking, Hate/Discrimination, Illegal Downloads, Weapons, Drugs

MEDIUM (Teenagers):
  • Safe Search is Enabled
  • Filters everything classified as "Low" and enables Safe Search, an automated filter of pornography and other offensive content that’s built into search engines (Google, YouTube, Bing, and DuckDuckGo)

HIGH (Children):
  • Safe Search is Enabled
  • Filters everything classified as "Low" and "Medium", including SafeSearch, plus the following categories:
  • Adware, Visual Search Engines, Classifieds, Blog, Games, Lingerie/Bikini
  • Information on Alcohol, Gambling, Illegal Activities, Terrorism, and Dating
  • Chat, Instant Messaging, Forums/Message Boards, Social Networking, Video Sharing, Photo Sharing, Webmail, File Storage, P2P / File Transfer
Next Steps
  • Enable the feature: Log in to your account, go to My Settings and apply Web Guard to any specific line under your family plan.
  • Talk to your kids: We encourage using Web Guard as a starting point for conversations about online safety.
  • Check for "Access Denied": If you see this error on a webpage, it likely means Web Guard is active and blocking that content.
⚠️ Warning
Web Guard only works over the cellular network. It cannot block content if the device is connected to Wi-Fi. Additionally, it may not work with VPNs or iCloud Private Relay; these features must be turned off for filtering to stay active.

Pro-Tip
Web Guard cannot filter content within specific apps (like Instagram or TikTok) or block messages sent via SMS or third-party chat apps. For complete protection, you may want to use device-level settings like Screen Time (iOS) or Family Link (Android
