Features and Benefits

With AT&T Smart Limits for Wireless, you start with an easy online set-up that allows you to determine specifically how and when your child can use the phone. You can set limits for:

Number of text and instant messages
Dollar amount of downloadable purchases (ringtones, games & more)
Times of day the phone can be used for messaging, browsing and outbound calling
Who the phone can call or text (incoming and outgoing) by blocking or allowing certain numbers
The access of content inappropriate for children

As your child approaches the text and download limits, he/she will receive an advance warning. Once a limit is reached, there will be a notification that the action is restricted and that the service will be stopped until the next billing cycle begins.

Calls and text messages to and from phone numbers you designate as “Allowed Numbers” and calls to and from 911 will continue to be permitted regardless of the limits you set.

Please Note: This product cannot currently be used to set specific monthly limits for minutes. All incoming calls are allowed at all times except from numbers you designate as “Blocked Numbers.”

More Info and Pricing

For $4.99/month per line AT&T Smart Limits for Wireless allows you to have more control over how and when your children use their wireless phones.
