AT&T enables parental lockdowns for iPhone
Overindulgent-yet-overbearing parents rejoice!
AT&T has rolled out a new plan to allow parents to place limits on mobile phone usage for family accounts, including those for the iPhone.
The service allows parents to restrict the number of minutes and time of day that a child can use the phone, as well as which numbers can send voice calls and text messages. The service can also limit the phone's internet access.
Though it seems that if you buy your 13 year-old a $600 smartphone, the term "limits" is already sort of lost on you...
