Parental control questions

[EmmaC]

Hi , can anyone offer advice on parental control issues , screen usage time and general blocking of children using phone at home please ? Ideally I’d like a way whereby I can restrict texting and phones calls during the night whilst children should be sleeping .. my children’s numbers are attached to my 02 account and all their mobile numbers are in my name .. thank you 😊

Hi @EmmaC 

This is O2's info on Parental control

As for texting during the night etc, I would be making sure their phones are not in the bedroom  when they should be sleeping.

Best of luck and welcome to the forum

You can't turn their phones off so all you can do is remove them.

Rule in our house is all phones and tablets are placed outside the bedroom door, no later than 10pm.

I would imagine the only practical way is to remove their devices overnight - set a time, get yourself a box of somesort and all devices in the box on the kitchen table or whereever by that time
