[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FYI - you can shut off internet access to her phone at your home. You will need a software to do this, and the IP address of her phone. You can control the time that IP address has internet access. Our kids are in ES, but we already are planning to do this, and as a a PP stated, we will be looking at their phones regularly to monitor what they are doing. We have friends who have teens who do this. Their access to the internet shuts off at 9pm for younger teen; 10pm for older. For the behavior stuff, all I can say is, I'm reading this thread intently. Sigh.[/quote] We did this -- set up the kids on a separate WiFi network ("guest" on the same router) and control that access time. Done. My 13yo DS just lost his iPhone for a week. Huge inconvenience for all (pick up times at school, etc.) but the lesson must be learned. [/quote] In the FIOS Quantum Gateway router you can block internet usage right from the router. You log into myfiosgateway.com (no www.) and login in the computer with whatever login came with your router and block away. You can even set times and days for various functions (all internet or just some sites, etc). I also turn service off from Verizon wireless - you log in and click on that phone and click 'suspend service' (unpaid for long term, paid for temporary ). My teen DD is a pain and will hide her device from me so I electronically turn it off. No arguing or yelling this way but momma isn't backing down - she can kiss my irritated mom ass...[/quote]
