Keep control of safety with Telstra Mobile Protect
Telstra Mobile Protect is designed to help protect your children when they’re using their mobile devices, and lets you restrict usage on mobiles and tablets on your account.
So if you want your kids to focus on their study and not their social media, or to protect them from the dangers of unwanted calls and SMS messages, then this is the feature for their phone that can help you get a better night’s sleep.
Plus, keep the content your loved ones view on websites clean and family friendly with the web blocking features, and keep an eye on their social networking.
And while you can’t put a price on the safety of your family, Telstra Mobile Protect is available with your Telstra mobile at no extra cost.
With Telstra Mobile Protect, you can:
- Apply internet filters
- Restrict call and SMS activity
- Set time restrictions
- Block access to nominated websites
- Get reports on what internet sites are being accessed on your mobile services
