If you have a kid who is constantly on the phone even when during meals like dinner time, Sprint has got a solution for you. The carrier announced today the launch of Sprint Mobile Controls. Powered by Safely, this service allows parents to check their family’s mobile usage and lock phones remotely at specific times.Sprint Mobile Control gives parents an easy-to-read dashboard of phone usage, including voice and text messages broken down by time of day, information on who your kids have been calling or texting recently and how often, options to set limits by time of day and day of week and establishing an allowed list of phone numbers which your child can receive a call or text. Sprint Mobile Control can also let parents see the apps their kids have been downloading, set optional alerts and notifications as well as creating a watchlist that will let the service notify you when your child communicates with someone on it.
Interested parents can head over to the Sprint Mobile Controls website to find out more or sign up for it. The service costs $4.99/month (there is a free 30-day trial) and at the moment is only available for Android devices.
