MEdia™ Net Parental Controls
Make your phone kid safe and avoid surprises.
With MEdia™ Net Parental Controls, you can easily:
- Restrict access to mature content that is not appropriate for children
- Restrict purchase of downloads such as games, ringtones and graphics
Controlling Content
Parents can set Content Filters to "On" or "Off." "On" restricts access to sites with mature content on MEdia™ Net (like chat and date sites) and shuts off access to the broader mobile Web via the search function. "Off" has no restrictions and all content is visible and accessible. The default is set to "Off."
Controlling MEdia™ Net Purchases
Parents can set Purchase Blocker to "On" or "Off." "On" prevents your children from purchasing premium content, including ringtones, downloads, games and graphics. "Off" allows all purchases. The default is set to "Off." (Note: Turning Purchase Blocker on will cancel any existing subscriptions you have as well as preventing future one-time and subscription purchases.)
Pricing
There is no monthly charge to use MEdia™ Net Parental Controls. The only charge is for the brief data usage needed to set the controls if done from the handset. You can also manage MEdia™ Net Parental Controls free of charge by contacting Customer Care at 1-800-331-0500.
How to Set Parental Controls
Go to MEdia™ Net home on your wireless phone, select "Customize MEdia™ Net," and then select "Parental Controls." Change "Content Filters" and/or "Purchase Blocker" setting to "On."
You will be required to establish a PIN code and provide your email address. (Email address will be used for verification purposes only, and if you need to reset your PIN.) Settings can be easily changed any time by using your PIN code or contacting Customer Care.
No filtering is 100% accurate and AT&T does not guarantee filtering accuracy.
